1t was only a short time after
Becker,s execution that my
friends. after searching all over
New York, found me in cheap
rooming house, and in such
state of alcoholic -saturation
that they took me to the Towne
Sanitarium for the cure. The
Towne Sanitarium specialized In
touring drug addicts and alco-
holics. 1 remained there three
days, and came out absolutely

the first twenty-four hours OF
that treatment, but not at any
time so sick in body as have
since been sick in mind and soul
because Of my reversion to the
awful stuff in after days.
CHAPTER LII
one morning I had a telephone
call from New York urging me to
come right down. 1t was from
Mrs. Wright, mother of Ruth's
tall stage partner. She would not
tell what she wished to see me
about, but was insistent that I
make the trip at once. Curious
and mystified. agreed to do so.
taking myself to task for not
having got in touch with Ruth
as L had promised myself I would
do that morning I had seen her
auarreling with Bright in the
park. In a vague sort Of way
had subsequently learned that
Ruth had split up with Bright
and returned to San Francisco. I
had resentfully wondered why
she had not at least called me
up to say. sood-by, but. at the
same time, had to admit that I
had been neglectfuI of her.

New York. getting off at the

later, when entered the little
florist shop. Mrs. Bright after an
effort to greet me pleasantly

feeling of emptiness coming over
me. "You-you don't mean Ruth ?"

ment I imagined Ruth might
have returned to New York; that
her body might be close by.

stood there incapable of fur
Their speech. In spite OF all l
could do tears came to my eyes
and ran down my cheeks. 1t was
the first time in my adult life
when sober that i had ever
wept. My thoughts had reverted
to Ruth on horseback bareheaded,
teeming with life and vigor,
laughing joyously. leading the
cavalcade into Mill Valley after
a days outing to her love OF
music and poetry: to her innate
refinement; to her childhood and
the tragedy that had wrecked
her young life and started her
on the terrible toboggan OF sin.
1t was monstrous, CRUEL, unjust
that life should have dealt her
such an ending! And I. some.

ing that might have saved her;
that she was worth almost any
sacrifice. And now she was dead.

Gradually learned the details
and that it was too late to send
flowers or do anything. The
suicide had occurred ten days be-
fore and the first tntimation Mrs.
Bright had OF it was a letter
asking IL she knew anything
about four big solitaire diamonds
Ruth had possessed Tor several
years. These diamonds had disap-
peared. Mrs. Bright told me she
had sent for me, thinking per-
haps I might know OF a safe de-
posit. box or something of that
sort. recalled the diamonds:
had admired them often, but the
last time I had seen them was
before left San Francisco.
Wrecked by Drugs
1t was not until long afterward
that I learned the full details OF
Ruth's last year Of life. She had
become addicted to morphine and
cocaine. On her return to San
Francisco. after leaving Bright
in New. York, she had re-entered
Jessie Hayman's. where other In
mates persuaded her to take up
the use Of heroin.
It wasn't long before her nerv-
Gus system was completely
wrecked and she was taken to a
hospital, where she lay danger
ously Ill for a long time. When
convalescing she went to live
with her sister-in-law, her long
lost brother having finally located
her, he having moved to San
Francisco. one day, remembering
how Older had helped her before,
she asked her sister to telephone
to him. Lying there in bed she
had determined to make another
fight for responsibility, and she
believed Older could suggest
the way. or at least aid her.
He called, and after hearing the
whole miserable story, told her he
thought he could get her place
in the AlcAzar stock company.
That seemed to cheer her inn
mensely.

TOM LEE HERO FUND HAS
NOT REACHED $4,000 MARK
preston News Service)

(PreSton News Servlce)
Memphis, Tenn, July 1O.-There
can be no fit comment on the way
people are now donating to the Tom
Lee Fund The mere fact that only
two small contributions totalling 81
were received in as many days last
week shows itself that the white peo-
pie of Memphis think little and care
less about what Tom Lee did in saw
ing the lives Of drowning whites in
the Mississippi river some months ago.
AT this writing the fund for Lee
stands now at $2,646.45. This is GER
tainly small expression of gratitude
Some cruel minded persons are almost
tempted to say that the lives of the
81 persons he saved were worth about
that amount. AT least the response
the whites have made to the fund in
dicates that the whites themselves
think their lives are worth about $8268
piece. Maybe they are right. The
southerner ought to know about how
much he thinks he is actually worth.

KANSAS REFUSES TO GRANT
CHARTER TO KU KLUX
KHAN
(Preston - servicel

Topeka, Kans., July o.-The Kan
sas charter board Wednesday refused
a charter to the knights Of the Ku
Klux Klan, a Georgia corporation.
Concurring in an opinion prepared BY
Attorney General Griffith, the board
declared the khan was not doing
charitable work as stated in its petit
ton.
The decision was unanimous The
fate Of the organization in Kansas
now rests with the United States SUI
preme Court
Last January the State Supreme
Court terminated two years. litigation
by ousting the khan on the ground it
was operating without charter. The
klan Immediately appealed. Lest the
Federal tribunal threw out the suit
because appellants had not endeavored
to come under the statutes, the khan
made application for the charter.
