My fury boiled anew.
So Anna was intimate with
all this bold depravity! No
look OF the startled amateur
about her. Here In the em-
brace OF the Barbary Coast
she sat rs one at home-the

Gibraltar OF vice which has
stood monumental through
many political regimes, thirty.
ing on its own villainy; bru-
tai. leprous, known to rough
devOtees on the seven seas
and to sleek sybarites of q
thousand cities; the strong
hold Of organized debauch-
cry!
What a fool, what an idiot
l had been to let this woman
get such a hold on me before
learning who and what she
was.
Still there was chance; there
might be some explanations; Anna
might simply have come slums
ming; she might be here for much
the same reason that | had come.
My love was fighting for preser-
walton. ~
When she and her companion
had hurried out, and | had spied
on them until a street car had
whisked them away, ] went over
to the table where they had sat
and asked the waiter who she was.
"Oh, her. he smirked, pocket
ing my half-dollar tip, that's
Nan. She's over on AL
ley and he named a notorious
street number. "A bird, amt
she! STILL" and here he grew
softly confidential, "she never
quite seemed to belong up here.
Too much of a brow. Her kind
don't make much of hit with the
rough necks. Thank you, thank
you!"
] wanted to smash his putty
face flat with my fist. But from
him, a waiter in Pacific st..
dancehall, / had learned at last
the truth about Anna.
The mystery had been cleared
up; her reticence explained; the
foundation for my many puzzling
doubts disclosed. Anna Sterling
was a Magdalen.

ing in my ears. And ! had given
her my love, without reserve, COM
pletely. The hellish irony of 1t!
| wanted to laugh, but could only
curse. How many men knew her
as MAN?
Sick with anguish, suddenly
nauseated with this screaming
vileness, stumbled out into the
night, walking down Kearny st.
like man berett of reason. For
one crazy moment l had an i'm
pulse to go over to that number
on Alley and to confront
Anna In the boudoir Of her in
fanny.
Then ! called up Oliver from a
downtown telephone booth, al
though 1t was after midnight and
he had retired.

pleaded. Yes, it's necessary
need you. No, not tomorrow

right now I'll meet you in
half an hour at Powell and

Then an old curse which l had
thought permanently conquered. a
lust for liquor, dashed me with
crushing force.

Cured in view of thousands Of spec
tators- Having previously electrified
the crowd with a series OF aerial som
ersaults the airman sought to add an
additional thrill with one Of his sen
ssfionai perpendicular drops.
The fatal fall was attributed to the
fact that Beschey entrusted his life
for the first time In several years to a
monoplane.
On the first flight all went well and
the aviator's familiar tricks were in
cuiged In with the exception OF the
perpendicular drop. Beachey had
saved this for the climax. It proved
too much OF a strain for the frame of
the monoplane.
