Investigator* found that an im
moral life was not often the alterna
tive of starvation They did learn,
however, that the great preponder
ance of fallen women came from the
ranks of those engaged in unskilled
occupations. Hundreds of Immoral
resorts were investigated and hun
dreds of proprietors and inmates in
terviewed. It Is the conservative et*
tlmate of Mr. Kneeland that than*
are not less than 15,000 fallen women
in New York City.
More Found in Streets.
The tabulation showed that 6.759
were found in the streets and 8.167 in
immoral resort*, tenements, massage
parlors, hotels, saloon*, concert halls,
etc. The report estimates that fully
pn per cent are diseased.
Men who procure girls, act ns “light
houses.” own resorts, rent their prop
erty for Immoral purposes and “drum
up trade’’ are described. Men seem
to be the real owners of most of the
evil resorts, and one. described as th*-
’king,” owns eleven houses of ill
fame.
In making investigations, Mr Kne^-
land, with a trained body of social
investigators and detectives, also
probed Into the underworlds of Chi
cago. Philadelphia and Syracuse. Sub
sequent reports will deal with these
cities and with other parts of New
York City. The report made public
to-day deals only with Manhattan.
Others Also Banded Together.
From the report by Mr. Kneeland
It is evident that not only those actu
ally engaged in vice as a busi
ness are banded together, but
that the proprietors of establish
ments such as saloons, concert halls,
a certain class of cabaret shows,
dance halls, burlesque theaters,
amusement parks and excursion
boats make an open business of ca
tering to vice. Vice and alcohol ate
even more firmly allied.
During the investigation, from
January 24, 1912. to November 15,
1912. 142 parlor houses were found
and Investigated and 1,172 resorts
found in 575 different tenement
houses. Furnished room houses used
as houses of assignation are branded
as particularly dangerous. There are
200 massage parlors in New York, the
report says, many of which are be
lieved to be for Immoral purposes.
Of 765 rear rooms of saloons investi
gated. 380 were found to be regular
gathering places of slaves and vic
tims.
Public Dance Halls Scored.
The public dance hall was found to
justify the worst that has been said
of it. Of 75 dances reported on be
tween January 24 and June 24 only
five were characterized by the in
vestigators as “decent.”
These dances are attended by many
innocent working girls. who seek
legitimate recreation, anc^ the hired
cadet, usually well-dressed and well-
mannered. These 'powers that prey’
are a constant danger in public dance
halls and find there an easy quarry.
Speaking of resorts where those In
the “trade” discuss their affairs, the
author gives an astounding descrip
tion of a delicatessen store, used for
that purpose, located in one of the
poorer sections of the city.
The final 'chapter of the report
is contributed by Miss Kathrlne
Rement Davis, superintendent of the
New York State Reformatory for Wo.
men. at Bedford Hills, and contains
a detailed study of the 647 inmates.

The two young persons stood in the
roadway holding hands—ten minutes,
one would imagine from tills 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 w'hich had been softly purring all
the while. The driver cased in the
clutch, the car gathered head way. and
as it turned in the road, the driver
leaned out and said with a harsh
la ugh:
"Get some of that cotton seed out
of* your hair, young fellow , and you
better go in out 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 ear. 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,
smoko issuing from the chim

By A H. C MITCHELL.
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 Htep 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
Hons of buckets of water on high
were emptied at the same instant.
Second A terrifying scream from
the throat of a woman burst iri 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.
As he did so a high-powered, under
slung automobile rushed past him
One inch farther and he would have
bean clear of the car. but the front
wheel of It struck his flying heel ana
he was flung sprawling on the rain-
aoaked pavement. There was another
scream. The car raced on.
For a brief period the young man
lay as if stunned. Then he arose
and looked to see what hit him. The
tar was rushing up the hill on high
speed and by this time was nearly a
furlong away. hardly discernible
through the heavy sheets of rain. Rut
as the young man looked the car
slowed down and came to a stop close
to the sidewalk. Two persons were

get out of it. but paused and then
sat down again. The car took mo

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 the road as he
spoke.
"Why don’t you look where your*
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 words.
"I’m sorry 1 didn't come hack
alone," she said to the driver In a
low tone.
The young man in the road strode
to the side of the car and. looking the I
driver full in the eye, said, very
quietly:
“1 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 I want from you
or none at all
The driver made a threatening ges- !
ture and started to speak, hut again
the restraining hapd was placed on I
him and lie contented himself with I
glaring savagely at the young man
in the road. The young woman arose
and stepped on the running hoard j
The driver caught her by the arm.
"Don't be foolish. Mildred. he j
growled. "Sit down and we ll get |
away from here You are drenched j
to the skin. I must take you home |
in a hurry."
Wait a minute. Forrest, pleas* I j

woman replied. She shook ofT .!.*
detaining hand and. jumping to the j
ground, walked around the front of
the car. stopping Hose l«* the young
man in the road.
"We are*-very sorry. I 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 brow n eyes of the young
woman and a slight flush stole over
his features. His gaze was long and
earnest, ns though he had never seen
such eyes before in all his life. Fin
ally his mouth broke into a smile,
disclosing two rows of strong, even,
dazzling white teeth. The corners of
his 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 List scared." he
»* *..
said.
"I’m not hurvtn 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. 1
ought to have kept my eyes open. It
was your 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 beat 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. But
please be patient. This is not a mag
azine editor’s preliminary announce
ment. It is the story of a great base-
