When the brothers get separated in the ensuing crowd, Crutchie grabs Les moments before Snyder catches up to them, and practically drags him the last block home. As Davey says, she may well have saved Les' life. Keep in mind, this is a girl with a disabled limb who was wearing 1899-style skirts at the time, has her own fear of Snyder to contend with, and barely knew Davey and Les at that point.
