Investigators found that an im moral life whs not often the alterna - | ttve of starvation They did leatn j however, that the great preponder i a nee of fallen women came from thej ranks of those engaged in unskilled occupations. Hundreds of Immoral reports were investigated and hun dreds of proprietors and inmates in terviewed. It is the conservative es tinnite of Mr. Kneelnnd that there are not lees 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 Resorts, tenements, massage rarlors. hotels, saloons. concert halls, etc. The report estimates that fully 90 per cent are diseased. Men who procure girls, act as '‘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 the king." owns eleven houses of ill fame. \ In making investigations. Mr Kne— land, with a trained body of sociil investigators and detectives, algo probed into the underworlds of Ohl- *ago. Philadelphia and Syracuse. Sub sequent reports will deal with these cities and with other parts of New York City. The report made public to-da\ deals only with Manhattan. Others Also Banded Together. From the report by Mr. Kneela.id *t is evident that not only those actu ally engaged in vice as a busi ness* are banded together,, but that tile 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 are p\Vn more firmly allied. During the investigation, from January *24, 1912. to November 15, 1912. 112 parlor houses were found and investigated and 1,172 resorth found in 575 different tenerneni houses. Furnished room houses used as houses of assignation are branded as particularly dangerous. There are Simi 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, antj, 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 Kathrine Bement 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 per.-ons stood in the roadway holding hands^ien 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 youn^ 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 la ugh: "Get some of that cotton seed out of your huir, young fellow, and you better go In out of the wet now.” The car sped up the hill. Th<* 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\.voung man tried several doors and gates without being able to gain admittance.

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 ;<> 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, ns though mil lions of buckets of watef on high were emptied at the- same instant. Second—A terrifying scream from the throat of a woman burst in the cars 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 ami 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 been dear 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 lay 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 this time was nearly a furhing away. hardly discernible through the heavy sheets of rain. But as the young man looked the car slowed down and came to a stop close to the sidewalk. Two persons 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 tlie ball park where the young man still stood motionless. J The Girl Interferes. The driver gave the emergency brake a vicious jerk and glared at the young man. His heavy features weiV flushed and lie scowled at the' bedraggled figure in the road as he 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 w ith you w hen " 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 ear and, looking the driver full in the eye, said, very quietly: “1 want to say to you. sir. that 1 don't know much about automobiles, but if this young lady wasn’t here Id yank you out in the street and mop up some of this rain with you. Civil talk is what l want from you I or none at all " The driver made a threatening gCs- 1 ture and started to speak, but again; the restraining hand was placed on him and he contented "himself with 1 glaring savagely at the young man in the road. The young woman arose and stepped on the running board. I The driver caught her by the arm. “Don't be foolish. Mildred. lie j grow led. Sit down and we’ll get away from here You are drenched t. • i h«- skin I. mue* i in a hurry 1 “Wait a minute. Forrest, please 1 lean stand a little rain." the young woman replied. She shook off detaining hand and. jumping to the | ground, walked around the fronl o* the cat. stopping close to the young man in the road ( We are very son > 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 oar, 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 his mouth broke into a sniile, disclosing two rows of strong, even, dazzling white teeth. The corners of his eyes wrinkled, giving his features at^ 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 thf* young man found his tongue. "I guess I 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; I guess it was. I ought to have kept my eyes open. It was your scream thar 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. TIth' tain 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 tlvrough her small hat and the driving spray had plas tered the loose strands to the side of her faee 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 scee that she was a Jiandsome 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.
