To the ballad of sally in Our Al
ley" Henry Carey has prefxed an ar
gument so full of nature that the
song may hereafter derive an addi-
tional interest from it's simple origin.
The author assures the reader that
the popular notion that the subject OF
his ballad had been the noted sally
Salisbury is perfectly erroneous.
The real occasion was this; A shoe
makers prentice. making a holiday
with his sweetheart, treated her with
a sight of Bedlam, the puppet shows
the flying chairs, and all the elegan-
cies of Moorfields; from whence, pro-
ceeding to the Farthing Pye-house, ne
gave her a collation. OF buns, cheese
cakes. CANNON OF bacon. stuffed beer
and bottled ale; through all which
scenes the author lodged them

DRUCILLA AND
THE WAGER
By MOIIie McMaster


Drucilla cast a furtive glance az
The toe OF her shabby little foot, in
order to make sure that 1t was not
protruding beyond the hem of her
skirt.
An envelope was lying on the floor
OF the subway car at her feet Dru-
ella stopped and picked it up. The
envelope was sealed and not empty.
There we're few persons in the car
and Drucilla felt herself unobserved.
She turned the envelope over and
over in her hands, then she slipped
her finger under the fiat and peered
in.
Drucilla's wide, brooding eyes lit
up. startled out of their habitual
vague dreams. There was money in
the envelope. She cast a surreptitlous
glance at the numbers in the corners
of the bills. There were two tens and
one FIVE. Drucilla closed the envelope
and thrust it well within her own
pocketbook and gave herself up to
multitudinous thoughts.
Elation, quickly followed by probes
from her conscience and a quick sue
cession of the urgent needs she had
for the money, chased through the
girls mind.
Down deep in her consciousness
there was the certain knowledge that
she would seer to find the owner Of
the money, but for the present that
truth was swamped in the joy of hav-
ing twenty-five dollars in her hands.
She dreamed first of the much
needed lessons in sight-reading that
she could now have. Her glorious
voice, the training for which she
went without many lunches, was lit
tie good to her from a monetary
standpoint until she could read music.
And a position was essential within
the next year or so. Until then, with
overzealous saving, she could exc out
her tuition.
She had just passed a window in
which was displayed a beautiful set of
red fox furs. DTucilla realized, with
out conceit, that with her face framed

Gently taken out Of the Weser, at Bre-

his suicide was the result Of an

monstrance will ever convince conti-

the same way with the American

America will not tolerate is invari-

in the shade so nearly resembling her
hair, and her eyes only the shadows
in the color scheme, it would be hard
for either choirmaster or manager to
turn her away.
She smiled whimsically. Appear
ance was a valuable asset.
On her way from the subway to the
small room that Drucilla called home
she was haunted by the fear that she
was being followed and that the
precious money would be taken from
her, and by the more terrible feeling
that she was fleeing from capture
with stolen money in her hands.
In the privacy of her room she took
out the bills and made an examina-
ton of the envelope. There seemed
to be no writing-nothing upon which
to hang an Identification clew.
Yes! Drucilla was guilty of sudden
irritation. There was writing on the
flap of the envelope.
Property of c, Drayton, 0O9 Clair
mont avenue" Drucilla read. She
sighed, but smiled whimsically again.

cause they were so vivid l had better

before they become realities"
She donned her coat without stop
ping to make a much needed cup OF
tea.
DrucIlla's heart was lighted as she
made her way to the heights by the
Hudson. Her dreams had been pleas
ant while they lasted.
Upon arriving at No. 900, DrucilIa
inquired OF the elevator boy and
learned that C. Drayton was on the
ninth floor. She sent up word over
the phone that she was In possession
OF a package. and was shown up.
A maid ushered her iRto the draw
ing room, and the girl was Obliged to
sit and gaze at the luxurious sur
roundings until Mrs. Drayton made
her appearance.
Druciila arose when a sweet, moth
erly looking woman entered.
Have you found that foolish en-
velope." she asked kindly, and Dru-
ella liked her the moment she spoke.
Her startled eyes, however, made the
older woman continue In a depreca-
ting voice THE dropping OF that
money in the subway was the result
of wager made between my hus-
band and my son. My son. Carroll,
made the statement that he would
like to see the person who would re-
turn money that had been found, and
my husband took him up on a SIS
wager that nine persons out OF ten
would return it," Mrs. Drayton

New York, Jan. 4.-The election to- day of Benjamin C. Bush, president of the Missouri Pacific. to the presi- deney of another Gould road, the Denver and Rio Grande. marks the culmination of rumors long current re- specting the latter property.
 It also effects closer consolidation and identity of management of these lines.
 Mir. Bush succeeds E. T. Jeffrey, for twenty years the head of the Denver and Rio Grande and in turn MT. Jef- frey succeeds George J.

Jeffrey.
 MT. Bush succeeds J. G. Andrews on the board
 It Is possible that other changes in the personnel of the Denver and Rio Grande management will soon be announced. but in that point no con firmation was obtainable today. The bankers connected with the Gould properties declined to comment upon Mir. Bush's election to the ex- ecutive head of It's more important lines, but n financial circles it is be lieved the change is due to their in ! itiatiye.
 As head of the Missouri Pacific. MT Bush has shown much energy and his management of that property has been commended on all sides It is under stood that the Gould estate which retains a large. isiterest in the Mis- souri Pacific and the Denver and Rio Grande, will continue to give MT. Bush free hand and that plans now in contemplation involving the ex- penditure of many millions of dollars have been formally approved.
