Moore lifting her chin defianty.

said Valentine, bowling almost to the
floor.
With anger in their glance and their
walk. chins and noses pointing almost
toward tho ceiling. the two members
Of the Gate of Hope society stalked
out Of the hotel parlor.
Jimmy Valentine. chuckling in his
amusement, sank into chair to await
the return of Miss Lane and her father,
Miss Lane-Rose Lane-the girl who
had saved him from the horrors OF

beautiful she was. he murmured. She
had heart. And she cared something
for No. 1850; that was apparent. Just
how much did she care? Just what did
she care? If man lived straight he
might In time win such a girl for his
own. Yes: that was life. And Jimmy

had happened. The girl had revealed
already, had she not. that she knew a
prison sentence could not kill the good

bright and bcckoned him on. Never

Kissed its way into his ears.
Jimmy Valentine started up in
amaze. That voice. thar whisper! He
had not heard Il since the night the
Hartford bulls" had broken up that
midnight surprise party in the vaults
of the Fifth National bank.
Hardly believing his ears. hardly
daring to turn. yet he did turn, and he
saw. crouching half behind one Of the
red velvet portieres of one Of the hotel
parlor entrances. the figure of Red-the
face and the brick red hair of Red
Flanagan, his old time coworker.

OPENING THE GATES OF HE'LL
TO BUILD Up 4 CITY

Jacksonville discarded horse racing
1t thought it would be a great factor
III building up that city. Horse rae
ing added to whisky, it was figured
out, would boom the city into a vastly
greater metropolis than it could hope
TO become under the ordinary course
.of commercial development. So Jack
sonvillt invited the plug-uglies, the
tCuts, the bad men and the worse wo-
men, to flock in and make that city
their haven. They came for two
seasons. By that time the better SEN
timent of Jacksonville and the state
had been so outraged that an end
came to horse racing by legislative
enactment. There was the usual
number of embellishments by young
men, seduced by the hopes of making
a quick fortune on the track. There
was the usual hushing up of such
crimes for fear public sentiemnt might
be awakened and arrayed against the
sport. But the end came quickly,
nevertheless. And it came none too
soon.
Now Charleston, dear, dead, old
Charleston, seeking regeneration, Gag
er to feel the thrill of a new life in
Its sleepy pulse, has invited the same
gang to make that city their head
quarters. The door to hell is to be
opened for many young man in the
vain hope that Charleston may there
by be built up. The most undesirable
class of citizenry in the world is Gag
erly invited to take possession of the
town for few weeks every winter ir
order that business interests there
may reap harvest of profits. Saloons
or bind tigers, hotels, houses of il
repute, these and a few other line,
may flourish temporarily as a result
but there will be the same inevitable
running of young men that marked tn,
reign of the touts in Jacksonville. An,
after one or two years of it Charles
ton will be glad to rid itself of tn,
evil.
prosperity based on the race tract
IS like prosperity based on the baI
room, OF a very unstable and unde
cIable quality. Like the whitane,
lsepuchre, it is rotten within.
