Towering above the others in the room suddenly came a big young fellow
shouldering his way through the crowd, a young man in the uniform of a
chauffeur. Elizabeth saw him before he discovered her.
"
Oh David!" she cried. "Quick! Quick! Take us out of here!"
As the chauffeur reached her side and took in the scene he jerked his head
toward Jimmy. "Did any one hurt you miss?"
"
No, no!" she cried. "This man was very kind. Just get us out of here, David, as
quickly as you can." And, turning to Jimmy: "How can I ever repay you? If it
hadn't been for you--oh, I hate to think what would have happened. Come out to
the car and give David your name and address, and I will send you something
tomorrow."
"
Oh, that's all right," said Jimmy. "You just get out of here as quick as you can. If
the police happened to look in now you might be held as a witness."
"How utterly horrible!" exclaimed Elizabeth. "Come, David! Come, Harriet!" David
making a way for her, she started for the door.
Harriet paused long enough to extend her hand to Jimmy. "It was wonderfully
brave of you," she said. "We could never do enough to repay you. My name is
Harriet Holden," and she gave him an address on Lake Shore Drive. "If you will
come Monday morning about ten o'clock," she said, "I am sure that there is
something we can do for you. If you want a better position," she half suggested, "I
know my father could help, although he must never know about this to-night."
