able one about the "devilish quality"
NADIA laughed, but she went on thinks
ing about it. ...
The whole town was agog over the
approaching charity benefit. They had
not asked NADIA to take part in the
plays, the burlesque minstrels, or any
of the numbers on the program; but
she had helped to make costumes and
stage properties with untiring unself-
ishness and good humor. A late addi-
ton to the program was aFousing curl
osity, and. attracting great attention.
1t was dancer who had consented to
appear, but who would be masked, and
wished her identity to remain un-
known.
The masked dancer was the sensa-
ton of the evening. The exquisite
grace, lightness and beauty of figure,
and in a change to Spanish fandango,
the saucy turns Of head and neck were
fascinating. Then last Of all came a
rather daring figure that brought out
vociferous recalls.
Austin Herrick, carried off his feet
by the coquettish dancer, rushed
around back of the scenes to be intro
duced. But the stage manager was OBJ
durate. She would not meet anyone.
Young Herrick was not to be baked,
He sacrificed the remainder of the en-.
tertainment, and determined to watch
at the stage door for her exit. A taxi
drew up at the entrance, and dainty
figure came out hastily. She was en-
veloped in a wrap, and her face was
covered with veil, but he could not be
mistaken in the little gold slippers. He
jumped into his own car and followed.
What was his amazement when the
taxi stopped at Mrs. Walkers door
She stopped to pay the driver, and in
an instant he was at her side. He
meant to stake everything on one
throw.
'Miss Holmes =" he cried. "Waitw
Surprised, and not knowing what
had happened, she answered.: "What
is it?"

"Why have you followed me?" she
asked.

stage manager refused"
'He was right. After your exciting

be SO disappointed"

And she laughed again.
"Of course know now you're Miss

rather glad that I have, and I'm glad to

She took off the mask, and looked
searchingly at him. The wig she wore
still somewhat disguised her, but there
was no mistaking her eyes.
"There is one thing" she said, 81

that is, that you will never reveal to

parks, especially the Cub park, and
this year there is welldelined betting

and draw betters.
''In Boston this evil has existed ever
since the sport started. 1t has been a
recognized industry. The gamblers are
known, and the fact that they have
powerful political backing also is
known-which may account for the
fact that the loud promises to wipe
them out never have been executed.

outsider, who attempted to operate
there, was ordered out Of town by po-
litical powers. not because he was a
gambler, but because the rival gam

in another city now, and is doing a
tremendous business.
"In Pittsburgh there has been an
other hotbed Of gamblers, which Is in

almost unmolested. In Cleveland gam
Detroit the profession found one Of
the best fields because of the dlsor-
ganized condition Of the entire city,
especially the police force. The gam

the stands, but they are accommodating
their crowds in two sections ut pres

"Such conditions are certain to re-
suit in uprisings such as took place In
Boston. They are even more certain
to result eventually in the corruption
of players.
"Queerly, the powers that rule base

this gambling evil is whitewash-on

Der only three really earned their full
salaries as Tigers. Dubuc rendered
several seasons Of good service and
Moriarity was a valued member Of the
club from 1909 to 1915. Kavanagh put
in two seasons in which he did good
work and part of another In which he
did nothing worth while.
Baker was carried for some time and
caught few good games, but when
the club comes to balance up with him
it will be found that he received enor-
nous pay-according to the piece scale
for everything he ever did. Peters,
Ledbetter, Jacobson, Smithson and
Karr were practically of no value to
the Tigers, although each cost money
