Plans for City's Pleasure
 On the Nation s Birthday

While there will be no general Fourth of July celebration In Montgomery there are enough special and feature attractions scheduled for the day to in sure an abundance of amusement, pleasure and recreation for the people of every turn of patriotism and taste :.
 There Is probably more interest be- ing taken in the races to be pulled on at Vandlver Park than in any other particular attraction announced for the nations birthday celebration pleasure. There are several features connected with the race program for saturday that are of more than passing interest For instance. Gibson Boy, the well known local horse, will undertake to beat his former record by a margin that is considered so doubtful that 1t Is said there are several thousand dol lars bet by those who say he can do II and those who say that he can not.
 Gibson Boys past record Is 2:lo or little less. and 1t is said that several good judges of horses and few thou sand dollars of good legal tender Is behind the proposition that on the Fourth of July he will reduce that standing to the figures of 2:o7. Since A couple of citizens wagered a sub stantial sum on this proposition a few weeks ago both sides of the question has drawn q rapid and steady increase 9I fGCEQAkS anu At 10 S1i1 SAatl Ao " SANA no doubt be surprising now to give tn Q figures of exactly how much money there is up on the outcome.
 In addition to the Gibson Boy event there will be other races of consider able interest at the park on the Fourth. Assistant Secretary Boykin of the State Fair who is also identified with racing matters, says that great im- provements have been made in the Vandiver Park track, that the horse men who have seen 1t as 1t Is now are enthusiastic over its condition and one Idea of the Fourth of July races will be to call attention of the public to this improvement.
 Another Fourth attraction that is go- ing to draw and please is the ball game at the ball park between the Mont gomery Greys and the Abbott Rifles of Selma. The members of both the mill itary companies are popular and their friends as we'll as those who naturally love baseball for basebalfs sake, will take in this event. and this all told will mean a large crowd. They will play a double-header.
 There are a number of parties, pie mics and other social affairs on the program for Electric Park and Pickett Springs and the Montgomery Traction 1 Company will put all spare cars into l commission and arrange fast and con- venient schedules for those who want to get away from the heat and noise of the city to enjoy the day of rest and pleasure. There will be one of the

 Sir Richard Gaunt held out gold case, and for one brief moment his mind reverted to his home on the wild coast of Wales. His mother had given him that cigarette case on his. twenty nrst birthday Then he glanced at the room, thick with tobacco smoke. at the table covered with decanters. glasses and dessert. at the hot, passionate facs of Cynthia Paradine. at the flushed features of Lord Carfax The sea was as far distant from all this as the North Pole from the Equator.

 George Crawshay. who was compara- lively sober. rose to his feet and laid his hand on Gaunt's arm.

 Sir Richard Gauht scowled at the placid form of Lord Carfax and then poured out another glass of wine, which he carried across to Cynthia Paradine She drained the glass to the last drop and then placed her lips close to his ear.

 The postofice and banks will observe holiday hours and practically all the business houses in the city will close for the day. All the offices at the City, Hall will be closed except for a short time in the morning for the transaction of anything of special im- portance that might unexpectedly turn up and practically no business will be done at the Capitol

All told 1t will be day of general rest, recreation. amusement and patriotic celebration and there will be very few people who will not find something of interest and enjoyment during the day.

 Gaunt laughed derisively. and then was silent He was apparently debat- ing tn his mind whether to accept the offer or leave it, His face looked cruel and sensual in the firelight. Perhaps he was thinking of all the pleasures that thirty thousand pounds could buy for him.

 Lord carfax tried to rise to his feet but the effort was too much for him. and he collapsed in the armchair.
 "Beashly drunk yourself, Dick" he muttered.
 Please dance again." said crawshay, with an eager look In his eyes.
 Cynthia Paradine faced the three men and bowed She was a girl of su- perb and dazzling beauty. Her dark hair, her 1ustrous black eyes. and her 1.-the and supple form proclaimed her a daughter of the South. She was, as a matter of fact, the child of Spanish Jew and slave girl from Morocco. Her checks were flushed with exertion. and her eyes sparkled. She was dressed in a gown that had cost Sir Richard eighty guineas, and the diamonds on her corsage represented years rental of half a dozen farms in the Welsh hills.
