No one at the hotel knew any of the parties,
and looking like recently married country
couples, nothing was suspected until some time
next day. On one pretext or another the brutes
deferred the marriage ceremony, telling the
girls that the papers were being made and
licenses got ready. In the meantime, however,
they proceeded to fill their dirty skins with
whisky, and using every effort to have the girls
drink, but without success. Night came with-
out any marriage ceremony being performed.
The girls, strange, bashful and diffident, as
such people usually are, knew not how to extri-
cate themselves from the toils of these devils,
into whose hand they had fallen. The two
couples occupied their respective rooms during
the night. Several times passing persons heard
the girls protest and beg to be left alone. The
parties occupied their rooms until 6 o’clock on
Saturday evening, when they made prepara-
tions to leave.
