even more firmly allied.

and investigated and 1,172 resorts

Public Dance Halls Scored.

of it. Of 75 dances reported on be

These dances are attended by many
innocent working girls. who seek
legitimate recreation, antj, tlie hired
cadet, usually well-dressed and well-
mannered. These ‘powers that prey'
are a constant danger in public dance
hails and find there an easy quarry.
Speaking of resorts where those in
the "trade” discuss their affairs, the
author gives an astounding descrip

that purpose, located in one of the

Great Story

on Commercial Basis.
A STORY FOR BASEBALL FANS THAT WILL
INTEREST EVERY LOVER OF THE NATIONAL GAME
ball mystery. Let us -to It in regu
lar order.
The two young persons stood In the
roadway holding hands—ten minutes,
one would imagine from this reading
of it. but only ten seconds in reality.
Ten seconds make a long time un
der certain conditions. The young
woman doubtless thought so,
for at last she smiled again, gave
the hand that held hers a healthy
pumplike shake and broke the clasp.
"Good-bye.” she said, and stepped
quickly into the automobile, the motor
of which had been softly purring all
the while. The driver eased in the
clutch, the car gathered headway, and
as it turned in the road, the driver
leaned out and said with a harsh
laugh:
"Get some of that* cotton seed out
of your hair, young fellow, and you
better go in rfljt of the wet now.”
The car sped up the hill. The
young man watched it without stir
ring until it had disappeared in the
distance. But he had noted the num
ber of the car. It was "50000 Ga.”
The rain ceased as suddenly as it
began
Walking to the entrance of the ball
park, the young man tried several
doors and gates without being able
to gain admittance. At last he found
a door that opened to his touch and,
smokA issuing from the chim
ney of a little within the in
closure, he went to the aow.", knocked,
and. after a moment's pause, entered.

CHAPTER I.
I T was 10 o'clock in the morning of
March 1. Low', dark clouds,
driven from east to west by a
brisk wind, raced over Ponce DeLeon:
Park. Before the street car came io
a full stop in front of the Atlanta
baseball grounds a young man jump
ed off the step and walked swiftly
toward the park. Within three sec
onds these things happened:
First Without the slightest warn
ing, without even a few preliminary
spatters, rain poured down in sweep
ing. blinding torrents, as though mil
ltcyis of buckets of water on high
were emptied at the same Instant.
Second A terrifying scream from
the throat of a woman burst in the
ears of the young man. It was in
stantly followed by a hoarse "Get out
of the way," written here in five
words, but yelled at the time in one
quick command.
The young man shot a startled
glance over his shoulder and then, with
Incredible swiftness, sprang forward.
A* he did so a high-powered, under
slung automobile rushed past him
One inch farther and he would have
been clear of the car. but the front
wheel of it struck his flying heel and
he was flung sprawling on the rain-
soaked pavement. There was another
scream. The car raced on.
For a brief period the young man
lav as if stunned. Then he arose
and looked to see what hit him. The
car was rushing up the hill on high
speed and by tills time was nearly a
furlong away, hardly discernible
through the heavy sheets of rain. But
ns the young man looked the car
slowed.down and came to a stop [ lose
to the sidewalk Two person# were
in the car. One of them started to
get out of it. but paused and then
sat down again The car took mo
tion. turned and coasted back to the
point In front of the ball park where
the young man still stood motionless
The Girl Interferes.
The driver gave the emergency
brake a vicious jerk and glared at
the young man. His heavy features
were flushed and he scowled at the
bedraggled figure in tlie road as ne
spoke.
"Why don’t you look where you're
going, you boob?" he snarled. "You're
not up among the pine needles now.
you understand. You ought to have
a colored mammy with you when
His companion in the car, a young
woman, reached up a hand and
smothered further word*.
"I'm sorry l didn’t come back
alone." she said to the driver in a
low tone.
The young man in the road strode
to tlie side of the oar and, looking the
driver full in the eye, said, very
quietly:
“l want to say to you. sir. that I
don’t know much about automobiles,
but if this young lady wasn't here
I’d yank you out in the street and
mop up some of this rain with you.
Civil talk is what 1 want from you
or none at all.”
The driver made a threatening ges
ture and started to speak, but again
the restraining hand was placed on
him and he contented himself with
glaring savagely at the young man
in the road. The young woman arose
and stepped on the running board.
The driver caught her by the arm.
"Don't be foolish. Mildred.” he
growled. "Sit down and we’ll get
away from here. You are drenched
to the skin 1 must take you home
in a hurry."
"Wait a minute. Forrest, please. 1
can stand a little rain " the young
woman replied. She shook off R.r
detaining hand and. Jumping to tin
ground, walked around the front of
the car. stopping close i«» the young
man in the road.
"We av« very sorry. 1 am very
sorry. Are you badly hurt?" she ask
ed gently.
The young man. who had not taken
his eyes off the driver of the car,
turned his head and looked into the
glowing brown eyes of the young
woman and a slight flush stole over
his features. His gaze was long and
earnest, as though he had never seen
such eyes before in all his life. Fin
ally bis mouth broke into a smile,
disclosing two rows of strong, even,
dazzling white teeth. The corners of
bis eyes wrinkled, giving his features
an expression that showed beyond
question that he was blessed with
the saving sense of humor. The young
woman smiled, too. and when she did
so the young man found his tongue.
"I guess 1 was just scared." he
said. "I’m not hurt in my body as
near as I can make out. but my feel
ings were injured when your friend
spoke to me the way he did. Maybe
it was my fault; 1 guess it was, I
ought to have kept mv eyes open. It
watf you us scream that saved me. I'm
much obliged -to you.”
The young woman held out her
hand.
"I'm right glad you are not hurt,”
she said.
The young man took the hand and
held it. The rain heat down upon
them in torrents, but neither seemed
to mind it. The ride in the automo
bile had loosened the hair of the
young woman, but the overpowering
rain had soaked through her small
hat and the driving spray had plas
tered the loose strands to the side
of her face and neck. As she stood
there she looked as though she had
just been dragged from a river. Yet
in spite of everything it was easy to
see that she was a handsome woman.
She—but this is not the time or the
place to describe her. The condi
tions are unfavorable. Wait. She
plays a not unimportant part in this
narrative and there will be plenty of
opportunity later on to tell all about
her.
Stood Holding Hands.
And what of the young man that
held her hand out in the roadway in
that driving rainstorm? Well, he is
the central figure in the story. Strange
events are involved in his career. Bui
please be patient. This is not a mag
azine editor's preliminary announce
ment. It is the story of a great base-
