the extinguisher and, to the delight

ticklish saved Mrs. Prances Justus
Tuesday night from losing her purse
to robbers, and a meeting that might
have been terrifying turned Into an
amusing affair. She was on her way
home when two armed men com?
manded her to walk back with them
to th?- shadow of a warehouse.
"Wo want money, that la all," they
.said. "So throw up your hands."
She obeyed, and informell them
that her purse was tucked in the top
of her const, under her arm. One el
the m?-n tor?- ?ipcn her waist and
thrust in a band, it came out In a
hurry to clap owr the woman's mouth
as she screamed, "Don't!"
"I didn't mean to cry out that
way," she laughed, as the hand
dropped and ears her s chance to
?peak, "but I am awfully ticklish and
I just can't stand It."
. The continued efforts of the men
to fin?l the purse, while Mrs. .Itis
ttne'a protecting arm wouldn't stay
up, threw her into fits of laughter,
which so disturbed th?- robbers that,
as she sank to the pavement, they
ran. The policeman who eame up as
she rose and brushed her dress found
her very gleeful over her exp?rience.
