Joe Lane and Jim Hargrove, the two

chose to designate It, cost I3K0 a plate.
Artists, architects and men about
town, wltb several women of tha
"fashionable" stratum of tha under
world, were his guests. There had
been much drinking and little eating,
toaata brilliant but requiting expurga

nearing dawn. The guests were try
ing politely to repress signs of weari

Olrl Bursts Pie's Crust
Four negroes entered, carrying a
huge pie, around which were grouped
wax candles of every shade. The ne
groes retired. The banqueters looked
on In amased silence. Beneath the
cruet In tha middle of tha table, there
was a faint stir, as If from some liv
ing thing. At a sign from Mr. Brses*
the orchestra, concealed by palms,
swung Into the strains of the old
nursery jungle:
Simultaneously the stir beneath the
crust Increased. It was burst by a
movement from beneath, and there
rose a slim figure, halt child, half
woman, who turned a pretty Infantile
bird about to fly, while twenty-four
golden canaries, that had been Im
prisoned In cages with her, released
bv her hand, flew a^out In every d!
rectlon.
Taken by Stanford Whits.
One of the men sitting at the end
of the table rose and pressed his way
to the middle. He laughingly lifted
the girl from the table to the floor.
He was Stanford White.
The girl was Susie Johnson, a child
modal. She was than IB years old.
Immediately after the dinner aha dis
appeared. Her mother, who lived' at
104 Eighth avenue, sought the aid of
the police and the press to find the
girl, but they were unsuccessful.
For three years aha remained In hid
Ing. When she was found she told a
revolting story of mistreatment and
desertion by the man whom Nemesis
overtook In the midst of lights and
m >t|c and laughter on Monday night.
Turned Into the 8trest
I wae lifted from the pie to a scat
the table, and foupd myself the
queen of the revel." she said. "It
was daxxllog for a little while, bat In
the end It proved a sad queendom.
Mr. White wae .kind for a ihort
time, but he went to Europe, and when
he returned and I tried to see him
he was never In. He had Instructed
his clerks to gat rid of me with as
little trouble as possible. I never saw
him again."
Thus was the girl, not yet elxteen,
turned Into the streete to live as she
might.
By a stranga coincidence, Susie
Johnson married, and when her hus
band learned of the "girl In the pie”
dinner ha brooded over the episode
In his wife's life until he almost be-
came Insane. It ended, not In Harry
Thaw's way, but by hla desertion of
her.
