T MUST have Deen ABOUT the thlrd
night after our buying orgie at
the Tuttle farm auction. Any
way, l remember that after we'd
gone upstairs Inez had asked me il
/ was sure I'd locked the front door.
II think So" says l.. yawning.
But what possible difference does it
make whether I did or not""
"Oughta lock up" insists Inez
But it's such a useless gesture"
says I, with both the side and back
doors left unfastened and half a
dozen windows on the first floor wide
open. Besides, after paying for all
those bargains. I'm as near broke as
1 can be; SO far as ready cash goes,
lars among the four of us. and ]
shall tuck all my family Jewels in
the toe of my slipper, as usual"
Inez, however. shakes her head
dubious.
"Oh. come" says T. Who is there
to break IN. way up here in the wilds
of New Hampshire?''
"You can't tell" she insists. II
thought l saw somebody sneakin'
down the road before | came up. A
man"
Huh" says I. Probably one of
the Milligens coming back from the
village or out for a smoke before
turning in. Just think Of the noble
male protectors we have on the place,
Inez: boss carpenter. a painter and
a plumber. besides Barry and your
Uncle Nels. Fat chance we have of

thing worth stealing. Let's go to
sleep. Good night. I'm signing Off"
A ND I'll say it didn't take me long.
"A for we'd been for a long drive
that day. half way up Monadnock
mountain. and we'd picked a lot of
blueberries, and indulged in other
forms of exercise. Then it was 50
calm and still out here in the
country; one of those moonless nights
when you could almost feel the dark
slipping down from the hills. cool
and sweet. and wrapping around you
coy and comfortable. Say. I'm
getting strong for this farm stuff
and l know it's doing us all a lot of
good. Especially the amount of sleep
Honest. I can hit the feathers for
turning over.
But it seems this wasn't to be one
of those nights. The next thing 7
knew I was reused by being shaken
by the shoulders. 1t was Inez, bend
ing over me and whispering husky.
"Eh?" says |. ''Wh-what YOU
say"
"Downstairs," says she. Some
body creakin' around
"oh, probably it's Uncle Nels," says
I. His joints are like that"
NO says Inez. Hes in his
room. can hear him snorin'
Barrys door is shut, too. But some
bodys down there. walkin' around
Listen"
Sure enough. could hear some one
stepping softly over the old floor
boards in the room below. In their
stocking feet. most likely. But that
living room floor wasn't made for
noiseless prowling. 1t can't, be done.
And quite plainly we could hear this
creak-creak.
"Burglars." whispered Inez.
"I don't believe it, says l.
Who, them" demands Inez. We
oughta wake up Barry Platt and
Uncle Nels."
And have them give US the
laugh?" says l. Lets not. Anyway.
not until we're sure. I'm going to

r HAVE asked veteran gamblers and
race track men what they esti-
mate as the daily racing turnover
in New York city. One of these. a
man who has followed races and
bookmaking forty years. mainly in
the city, tells me there are not fewer
than 100000 daily betters on horse
races in the city. including suburb
antics, who come in every day and
lay wagers near their places of busi-
ness, and the great swarms Of visi-
tors at the hotels for whom the
bookmakers and betting commission
ers lay special snares. The average
bet per race is not less than s5. this
veteran says. because for every two
men who bet only So or SO. there is
a man who bets $40. Again. the
average bettar wages on two or
three races per day. SO that his total
will amount to $40 or SIS. This does
not take into account the large bets.
which greatly swell the total, for
there are frequent ones of from $10.-
600 to $4,000 and 100000 on ,indi-
vidual races.
II figure 1t this way" my inform ant
said. There are about 100000 peo-
pie in New York. which means, ap-
proximately, 100000 adult males. OF
these. maybe one man in every eight
plays the horses. Probably one man
in every four or five does. My esti-
mate is that we get a daily play out
Of one in eight. Then I calculate
there are about $4,000 visitors, sub
urbanites and women who bet on the
ponies. They bring the total to 200,-
900 daily bettors. Mind now. I re-
gard this as a low estimate. My
own experience leads me to think
that the average wager is not less
than SIS, including the big stun, so
we have about 100000 bet every
day the ponies start. 1t sounds big,
but the total perhaps is even larger.
Never anything like it in my experi-
ence. Say, if the bookies had ever
got a play like that in the days Of
open betting they'd have dropped
dead"
1t is but fair to balance this state
ment with that of one of the best
known betting commissioners in New
York, a man who handles the wagers
for a group Of millionaire plungers,
several Of whom are themselves own
ers of racing stables. This man de-
clares it is impossible to estimate
with any approach to accuracy the
dimensions of the betting proclivi-
ties of Manhattanites. A million dol
lars a day seems, to him, exaggera-
tion-$500, 900 too little. More are
betting than ever before, but the
amounts are smaller. The first mans
guess that the average daily wager
is SIS. he pronounces excessive. It is
more likely that the unit is 81. If
lost the days transactions end. II 1t
wins the gains are restaked. The
big money Is laid out Of town to
avoid affecting the odds. At the race
track the daily average attendance
10 between 5000 and 1000, Of whom
perhaps Is per cent do not gamble.
However. this man. though he says
his relations are conservative, admits
being astonished at the extent Of this
form OF gambling.

Land-as a setting for all. Princess
Rahme is a young woman Of striking
personality and a real member of the
ancient Syrian house OF Amaries
(princesses) and her line of descent
is unbroken back through Biblical
records.
Princess Rahme's first appearance
will be Sunday morning at the First
Baptist church at II o'clock, when she
will give her thrilling message Under
Syrian Stars" depicting life In general
In country where life has gone on
pretty much as it did some 1000 years
ago.
Sunday night at 1880 at the First
Presbyterian church. she will present
her famous lecture-recital ''Glimpses
Of Palestine" Her clear and forceful
delimation Of the manners and GUS
toms of her people which is embraced
In this address has proved one Of the
most interesting subjects discussed in
America in connection with the Orient
for many years.
Monday night at o'clock at the
First Presbyterian, the Princess Haid-
err will. present her own dramatization
of the Biblical story Of "Naaman, the
Leper." telling in her own charming
Oriental manner Of the healing of the
great Syrian captain, afflicted with the
dreaded disease Of laprosy. by the
Prophet Elisha, in the land Of Israel:
and the part played by the Hebrew
maid. in bringing this about.
At the foot of Mount Lebanon, 40
miles from the historic city Of Da-
naascus, lies the princess birthplace,
the old city of Baalbek. Her early
education was received at the Amert-
can college at Beirut and later at the
Girls Seminary at S1don. and while
there she conceived the idea of coming
to America for a broader and higher
educational training and has since OBJ
tanned her degrees from several OF
our best universities of our own land.
But while she has enjoyed the higher
education for women In America, che
remains intensely Oriental and has
won her way into thu hearts and
homes of Americas most cultured by
her charming gifts OF intellect and
culture. But few Of the descendants
ne ROYALTY have succeeded In winning
the love and admiration Of the Ameri-
can populace as has Princess Rahme.
In all her appearances, Princess
Haider will wear her own robes OF
her native country, fashioned of the
popular color of the East-Tyrean
purple. 1t is heavily embroidered In
gold and pastel shades OF blue, pink
and lavender all hand wrought By
girls Of Damascus. She Is assisted by
her travelling companion, Miss Lucille
Burgess, a talented musician, OF the
Pacific coast. who has won much rec
ignition throughout the United States
by her Interpretation OF the weird
music OF the Orient. She possesses a
mezzo-soprano voice of rare quality
which is especially adopted to the
Eastern music.
