EN- IN the room on account of you
not drinkin', Mr. Gray"
In spite of the fact that Ozark
Briskow was compelled to sit out
every alternate dance in d distress
ing condition of sobriety, ne en-
joyed himself, for he was playing
host to thes one woman and the
one man tor whom h. cared most.
Chapter Ak
Fight to he Finish.
Why lhe S. o. So" Mallot
voiced this question as he entered
Gray's hotel room early the fol-
loving evening.
"Sit down and light up while I
tell you about it." In a few SEN
tences Gray made known the
story of Ozark Briskow's infatua-
ton, and the reason for his own
interest therein. The woman is
of the common 'get-rich-quick'
variety" he concluded, aud she
won't do
She didn't pull the family es-
tate and her fathers slaves and
the organge grove on you, did
she?'
"Oh no. She used that on Buddy
and he believes it implicitly. We
three are dining downstairs look
in on us?"
Sure. I'll give her the once
over" Mallow agreed. If she's
anybody in our set, I'll know her "
The dinner had scarcely started
when Gray heard his name PACED
and left the table. In the lobby
Mallow was waiting with grin
upon his face.
Us that herr" he inquired.
THAT is the girl"
Girl? Airline Montague Ell?
Her name is Margie Fulton and
she had her hair up when they
built the Union Pacific"
'Noneaense You're mistaken.
She can't be more than twenty
five-thirty at most.
"A woman can be as young as
she wants to be if she'll pay the
price. Margie had her face tucked
up two years ago. Cost her five
thousand bucks"
Il can't believe it."
"Those face surgeons have iron,
ed the wrinkles out Of many a
withered peach, and you're dining
with Margie Fulton, the Suicide
Blonde. ! know her kid"
Her what?" Mallow'sJ hearer
gasped.
Sure. She was married to Ben
ME Fulton, the jockey, and they
had a boy. Bennie was ruled off
in New Orleans and started a
gambling house"
New Orleans! Wait-I'm be-
ginning to remember" Into Gray
mind came an indistinct memory;
the blurred picture of a race track
with its shouting thousands, a
crowded betting ring; then, more
clearly, a garish, over-furnished
room in southern mansion;
clouds of tobacco smoke rising in
the cones Of hight light above
roulette and poker tables; negro
servants in white, with traps; mint
iuIeps in tall, frosted glasses; a
pretty girl with straW-colored. hair
She was a 'come-on'.p
That's her. She worked the
betting ring daytimes and boosted
in Bennie's place at might. When
ever she was caught she suicided.
That's how she got her name.
Just what do you mean by
that?"
"Why, the usual stuff. A bottle

PRAYED BEFORE HE POSED

Ship news photographers of New York harbor still are puzzled as to why an Arabian sheriff, Moulay Has, san Sarsar, recently donned gaudy robes and prayed forgiveness of Allah before he would have his pie ture taken.
 When the photographers boarded the vessel, in which the Moroccan came to this country, the noble and venerable sheriff informed them he must first prepare against possible wrath of his God. This required 2 half hours ceremony. Kneeling on a green rug in his stateroom, the Arabian with lifted hands addressed himself to Allah while the photogra- pers looked on in amazement. Then Sarsar explained that Allah had failed to make provisions for picture taking, and therefore, it was up to the sheriff to square himself.
 Special prayers in time of emerg- encies, however, are contained in the creed of the Mohammedan faith, and 1t was one of these the sheriff em- ployed. Which, no one knows but himself.
 Sheriff Sarsar is the representative In French Morocco of a New York sewing machine company. He Is in this country on a visit. No. he doesn't wear the official robes all the time, he says. The sheriff is very wealthy, reporters were informed.

LEEDY APPEALS FOR CONTINUED EFFORT
Urges Viaduct Bill Supporters To Telegraph Legislators Monday

w. B. Leedy, Jr., chairman of the real estate boards committee tnae came to the aid of the city commis- sion in the fight for viaducts and underpasses, In speaking of the slt- uation and how 1t is developing Sat urday said:
 'The sooner we realize that all Birmingham must cooperate and pull together on all civic matters the sooner we will be transformed from a village atmosphere to that of a city, and just that much sooner will our dream of bigger better and buster Birmingham be realized.
 The viaduct and underpass meas ure, known as the Brewer bill. will come up in the legislature for final hearing Monday or Tuesday. Every citizen should wire the senators and representatives they know urging them to have this bill favorably acted on. That is our first big op- portunity for cooperation. The leg islature should have the messages in hand Monday. thousands of them. It would be convincing to them. If We chow indifference. we cannot expect enthusiastic interest from others.
 ,sThe Birmingham Real Estate board wants to thank those loyal citizens who, having the welfare Of the city at heart, gave their time and spent their own money to aid by their counsel and presence on the trip to Montgomery Thursday"
 MT. Leedy and others expressed themselves Saturday as optimis istic about the outcome of the pending legislation and believe the bill will surely pass if men and women of Birmingham wire the legislators they know Monday urging the passage of the measure.

You deal with only one Realtor, who is your representative in the transaction. You list your property only one time with one Realtor. This means service to the owner and the buyer alike with no addi- tional cost to either. Our earnings hinge on our abil- ity to render service. The Multiple Listing System of the Birmingham Real Es- tate Board has solved that problem.
