With Stoe Almost a Year.
The girl Is the daughter of W H.
Woolly, and until she fell in with
St<»r and his wife lived with her
father near the City Stockade. She
is iinusiia Ily pret t \
She told Mr. Ha lev she had been
made a slave by Stoe and his wife
for almost a year, and that several
limes she had tried to e«<*ap° and had
bepn unable to. Sh*‘ said she was
forced to marry an Kiberton man
named Bond In Atlanta several
months ago. but had refused to live
with him.
"I met Mrs Stoe in a downtown
store." the girl said. "My mother
had been dead for more than a year
and I had few girl friends. i was
very lonesome and didn't know much
about the ways of the world. Mrs.
Stoe was a nice-looking woman, and
when she came up and spoke to me I
was glad to talk to her We talked
for n while and then Mr. Stoe came
in and she Introduced him to me.
"She invited me to go out to tier
house, and I said I would for a while
Then she said she had to do some
more slumping and for me to go on
home with her husband and she would
come in a few minutes, and then I
could stay for supper with them
Thinks Beer Was Drugged.
"I went with her husband and we
went Into what I thought was their
home in Whitehall street. The m-in
asked me to drink a glass of beer
and I didn’t want to. but thought I'd
better drink a little because they'd
b«r>n very kind to me.
"1 drank about half a glass, and T
guess it was drugged or something,
because 1 felt drowsy for a while and
my head began hurting. T must have
gone to sleep, because 1 woke up
about three hours later In a daze. 1
didn't know what to do. I was afraid |
to go home, and 1 was awfully sick.
"Mrs. Stoe and her husband Ame
into the room a little later and I asked
them to let me go, but they wouldn't
do it. They told me I’d have to go
with them and tve them all the
money I made. They took most of
my clothes, arid I didn’t know whit
else io do but go with them
“They took me to towns in Ala
bama and Georgia and South Caro
lina and. put me in hotels and other
places, and all the money 1 made they
kept, and wouldn't give me barely
enough to buy my clothing and get
something to eat.
Father Forgives Her.
"A few months ago they took me
to Kiberton and put me into a ho
tel. and then one night Stoe brought
a man to my room and said f had to
marry him. His name was Bond, but
! don't know what his first name was
They said people would talk If 1 went
around the country by myself
"They made me come to Atlanta
with them and marry the man. and
t ien they took me to other tow r ns,
finally to Atheju*. The woman left me
there for a few days, and 1 went to
t lie Government men and told them
all about It.”
The girl's father held a conference
with her In Mr. Raley's office Friday
morning, and declared he was willing
to forgive his daughter and take her
home Mr. Haley said he is going to
push the case against the Stoes. and
will make every effort to send them
to the penitentiary.

.And now we are in the midst of the
crowning feature of the campaign
for the Kmpty Stocking Fund.
It’s that great show' at the Atlanta
Theater this afternoon, of course.
The curtain was raised promptly at
2:30 o’clock on what is undoubtedly
one of the most entertaining bills
ever staged in Atlanta.
One look at the program will prove
to you that there could he no combi
nation that would give more defi
nite promise of a first-class really
enjoyable show.
Here’s the whole lay-out:

Poison Is Hunted in
Cookies Sent by Mail
\
NEW YORK. Dec. 12.—A box of
gingerbread and cookies, believed to
contain poison, which was received
by Mrs. Rose Vosburgh through the
parcel post from Stuyvesant, N. Y..
was turned over to District Attor
ney Whitman to-day.
Typewriters rented 4 mos.,
i $5 up. Am. Wtg. Mach. Co.
think of what the show means; think
of the spirit that prompts the stage
folk and the local folk who are sac
rificing their own personal interests
to appear.
That's the big thing, after all—that
spirit of DOING SOMETHING for
those who can not do anything f >r
themselves, and that is the spirit that
is going to lake Yvette and Robert
Edeson and Forrest Adair and all tne
others put a vim and go into their
work that will make it bet or than
anything they’ve ever done.
And they've made a lot of sacrific 3
to go to the Atlanta Theater either
after or before their acts at the other
playhouses -and « o their afternoon's
work all over again just because
there are a lot of little kiddies in
Atlanta who want old Santa Claus to
visit them. If the Christmas Editor
had to pay these people their salaries
they’d ordinarily get for the after
noon’s work. he’, throw up his hands
and quit it would take more than the
entire fund ever v ill amount to.
But they’re doing it all for noth
ing!
Do you think for a moment that if
anyone had walked up to Mr. Ellery,
or Mr. Lackaye. and asked him to
do his afternoon's work over again
just because somebody wanted to put
on a show that he would have done
It?
Not in a million years.
Certain They Would Be Repaid.
But when the Christmas Editor
asked them to appear and toid them
they wouldn't get a nickel of the box
receipts not even cab fare; that all
they would get would be the thanks
of the ('hristrnas Editor and a glow
around the heart—they volunteered
so quickly and enthusiastically that
the show was planned in about fif
teen minutes.
For they knew that they would get
more than the thanks of the Christ
mas Editor.
They knew that they would get
something they could get in no other
• way—the knowledge that they had
j DONE SOMETHING to keep some
little boy or girl from facing the ter
rible tragedy of the empty stocking;
that they would awake Christmas
morning with a warm glow in their
hearts, and the happy thought that
through them some child clasped .1
toy or doll to Its breast and breathed
n. prayer of thanksgiving to old Santa
Claus.
And that knowledge and that feel
ing are worth more than all the
money in the world!
So is it not decidedly up to YOU to
get your ticket and take your place
In the ranks of those who are doing
something for Atlanta kiddies?
And even with that idea out of thj
way the show is worth while. You
know, without any unnecessary elab
oration. that it’s the best show taht’s
been in Atlanta In years.
And now. supposing that for some
reason, you did not get a ticket and
that you miss the show—you can sttil
do something. Take the price of Cie
ticket you didn't get and mail it to
the Christmas Editor of The Geor
gian* or Sunday American, and ask
him to put it in the Empty Stocking
Fund.
Then you’ll be doing something,
even though you’ll have missed the
Joy of the show.
