The law\u003cbr\u003eappears to allow them too much liberty. After our experience of this\u003cbr\u003emorning I shall not be surprised at anything that happens--especially in\u003cbr\u003ethis cranky state of California.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"To what experience do you allude, Beth?\" asked Uncle John, sitting up\u003cbr\u003estraight and glancing from one to another of his two nieces. He was a\u003cbr\u003egenial looking, round-faced man, quite bald and inclined to be a trifle\u003cbr\u003estout; yet his fifty-odd years sat lightly upon him.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Why, we had quite an adventure this morning,\" said Patsy, laughing\u003cbr\u003eagain at the recollection, and answering her uncle because Beth\u003cbr\u003ehesitated to. \"For my part, I think it was fun, and harmless fun, at\u003cbr\u003ethat; but Beth was scared out of a year's growth. I admit feeling a\u003cbr\u003elittle creepy at the time, myself; but it was all a joke and really we\u003cbr\u003eought not to mind it at all.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Tell me all about it, my dear!\" said Mr. Merrick, earnestly, for\u003cbr\u003ewhatever affected his beloved nieces was of prime importance to him.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"We were taking our morning stroll along the streets,\" began Patsy, \"when\u003cbr\u003eon turning a corner we came upon a crowd of people who seemed to be\u003cbr\u003egreatly excited. Most of them were workmen in flannel shirts, their\u003cbr\u003esleeves rolled up, their hands grimy with toil. These stood before a\u003cbr\u003ebrick building that seemed like a factory, while from its doors other\u003cbr\u003ecrowds of workmen and some shopgirls were rushing into the street and\u003cbr\u003eseveral policemen were shaking their clubs and running here and there in\u003cbr\u003ea sort of panic. At first Beth and I stopped and hesitated to go on, but\u003cbr\u003eas the sidewalk seemed open and fairly free I pulled Beth along, thinking\u003cbr\u003ewe might discover what the row was about. Just as we got opposite the\u003cbr\u003ebuilding a big workman rushed at us and shouted: 'Go back--go back!
