FOR IMMORAL PURPOSES.
Three Girls Brought from Oak
land Are Rescued.

Everett Anderson a well known in
famous character was charged on
Tuesday before Justice Lindsay with
vagrancy and found guilty and SEN
fenced on the following day to ninety
days in the county jail which, how
ever, was suspended for t%wenty-four
hours, thus giving him the chance to
leave OF which he no doubt availed
himself. The man has been known
here for some time as a vicious char
acter associated with the women of
the redlight district. Recently he
left and was returning on Sundays
train from Reno with three girls
whom he had enticed from Oakland
on the pretence that they were to
play at his variety theatre at $50
per week, when in reality he was
going to deliver them to a low dane
ing resort.
fortunately they became &C
quainted on the train with a drum
mer who explained the character of
the place and by him were taken to
the Valley View hotel, Mr.. Hart
giving them accommodations and E.
r. Shields providing them with meals
at his restaurant. In the meantime
the Oakland police were communi-
Gated with and a subscription was
raised to return them to that city.
1t is to be regretted that a more
serious charge vas not preferred
against Anderson and also that he
was not sentenced to the full limit
allowed by the law and compelled to
go TO Jail. Hard work is death to
such vermin.

was parading, with an affected air OF
preOccupation, along the rows Of steam
er chairs. ON one of his countless turns
farther aft than usual, when all at
once there passed through him the faint
est thrill Of trepidation, like an echo of
his feelings on the night before. He
looked again to make sure.
The slender, Willowy figure. which he
recognized without difficulty, was stand
ing alone at the stern, the little glOved
hands on the railing, the face bent down
toward the water.
Allan looked away and smiled at the
thought Of his weakness, now that he
was i'm the presence of a blazing sun
and the humdrum hustle of the world.
Then. without apparent hesitation. he
obeyed a secret impulse and continued
his march toward her.
She was clad in a blue serge gown
with Il little Jacket to match the es-
Sence of simplicity. Her yachting cap
was the same as on the night before
but now the veil was down, and as he
drew near it WAS possible for him to
distinguish only the vague outline of her
features. But there was nothing to
conceal the lustrOUs dark hair that
CLEANED in the sunshine, the gracious
pose Of her head. and the tip of a tiny
white ear.
He approached her wholly unawares
and stood a moment at her side. while
she still looked out over the eXpanse Of
rolling water.
Good morning; isn't the weather
As he spoke, she turned with a tirnid
start. and seemed half inclined 20 save
herself without a word. His manner
however, was reaSSuring, and with "A
tremulous little smile she answered
him.

horizon reappeared. Far away on the
boundless waves tiny speck of yellow

manned of the passing ship.
As Thorndyke Allan turned toward
his silent companion, a hurrying form
stationed itself at the railing not far
from where they stood The captain
was on the quarter deck in company
with two Of his officers. while an air of
hustle and excitement prevailed among
the sailors. Three of them had been
distributed along the ships side. where
they stood waiting Cor the boatswain' s
whistle. Each carried n short black
stick of signal powder and a lantern
with which TO light it, Thorndy<e Al
Ian pointed out the men, and made a
display of his nautical wisdom in ex-
planning their maneuvers.
''All ready?' demanded the captain.
Aye. aye. sir" said the boatswain
from his position on the deck below.
Let her go, then"
A piping whistle was the answer and
in a twinkling, the ship seemed stag

forth to heaven with binding intensity.

fanciful visions fioated by. his mood
grew more and more romantic, until
finally his beating heart allowed him TO
believe that he was on the eve of an
adventure quiet, sentimental adj
venture whose sequel was filed with
delicious episodes.
Half an hour had passed. and Thorn
dyke Allan, still I'm the midst of his
musing. was following his promenade
toward the stern. when all at once, as
he traversed the shadow Of a life boat
he became aware of a feminine sill

as it bent down gracefully over a steam

Before ne had finished speaking. they
had reached the door. He held il open
for her; and, as he did so, he looked
again upon her face. His state of mind
was such that with little more cour-
age, he would have dared 10 tempt her

She turned her head slightly. as if TO
aggravate his longing, and hestated a
moment, with her foot upon the sill

had been carrying with the pile on the
baunister.

Again he searched vainly for n reply

He stared at her, and felt foolish.

than he perceived In the distance an

paused.
At another time. or amid other sur

have been the same. but the chords Of
romance within him had already been
set vibrating by his fanciful dreaming.
