| tune. They did a marvellous piece of
acrobatic dancing, calling forth wild
applause, and this act was followed by
a popular Broadway tenor, who sang
| couple OF numbers from current
play in which he was appearing.
This over, the orchestra resumed It's
dance music. and after Jimmy had or
dered supper, consisting of a number
of extravagant dishes, he asked Betty
to dance.
She rose to her feet eager to try
such gorgeous music and on such a
floor, particularly with Jimmy. But
once they were dancing, Jimmy began
to point out certain celebrities to her
Once he bowed quite familiarly to an
especially dazzling creature in scarlet
and although 1t thrilled Betty to real
iZe that he knew such famous people,
1t gave her a sense of inferiority and
made her doubt If she could hold him.
She had never seen such beautiful
women as there were here tonight
There was hardly a girl present who
wasn't exquisitely lovely They all
had such amazing poise, too: they were
so sure of themselves, and then the
gowns they wore.
Betty had thought her own da affodil
frock lovely until she had come here;
now she wasn't even sure that she
liked 1t over well. There was such
sophistication about the dresses most
Of the women had on. a sophistication
that she felt Jim liked. Was she
always going to feel like this when
she went anywhere with him? She
simply couldn't let herself do that.
She would acquire poise and self-con-
f1dence as she became more used to
this life. and, Of course, when she
was married to Jim she would prob
ably look back and laugh at herself
for her silly qualms and fears.

CHAPTER XVI.
A Night Club.

After dinner they went to a play,
one of those bewildering, kaleido-
scopic affairs, full of color and lights
and beautiful girls. Betty enjoyed 1t,
and once during time when the
stage was in semi-darkness Jim
reached for her fingers and gave them
a little squeeze. The unexpected con-
tact made her thrill How foolish she
was to make herself unhappy over
his fancied neglect! Hadn't he given
her definite proof that he cared?
Hadn't he come magically into her
gray, drab life, tightening it with his
presence and making it possible for
her to have all these glamourous
things of which she had always
dreamed?
Her mind turned to the wonder of
her ring. Fancy her wearing any
thing so beautiful; fancy, anyway,
her being half wonderful enough for
Jim! She must try hard to make him
proud of her, so that he would never
be sorry.
After the theater they went to a
famous night club and Betty, who
had accidentally sped the price on the
theater stubs. wondered at the prod
igality with which Jim spent money.
Why. he must be rich to be able to af
ford all this, and yet he had told her
that he couldn't afford to marry just
at present. 1t was probably his wish
to give her everything that made him
hesitate, and that thought made
Betty's cheeks suddenly burn and her
heart beat fast.
Her eyes wandered eagerly about
this place so enChantingly new to her.
On a raised dais an orchestra was
playing seductive music, and about
the room, on rose velvet divans, men
and women were sitting at tables eat
ing and drinking.
The place was furnished in a biZarr
fashion. There were alternating
panels of black and rose velvet on
which appeared dancing girls in sill
houette. The ceiling, which was low,
was done in black velvet, and there
was a rich SenSuous quality about the
decorations that was very effective.
The place smelled of expensive French
perfume, tobacco and rich food.
They were hardly seated when the
lights were dimmed, and a speciality
number was announced. A spotlight
was turned on and into its dazzling
glare danced a couple in Spanish cos

Passenger Pigeons.

Some of the tales that are told about
passenger pigeons, now extinct, are
almost incredible, but they come to us
on very high authority. There are
persons now living who can remember
the passenger pigeons perfectly. 1t is
said that their rooStS extended some
times 20 miles in radius, every limb
being covered. They could fly with
the speed of one mile a minute, and
often Jared 200 miles before noon,
scattering out from their roosts, in
search Of food. They actually dark
ened the sky when migrating. They
were shot and netted into extermina- =
ton, hogs being driven in to feed on
the carcaSSeS.
Now what do you know about that?

Williams is one of the group of
young Italian-American ex-caddies
around New York out of which Gene
Sarazen and Joe Turnesa have grad.

Morgan drove the veteran New York

SPANISH GIRL THINKS
PRO TENNIS WILL PAY


BY the Associated Press.
SenOrita de Alvarez, the Spanish
tennis star who is thought in sports
circles to be the logical heiress to
Suzanne Lenglen's crown, expresses
admiration for the courage of Mile
Lenglen and Mary x. Browne in
stepping from the amateur into the
professional ranks.
She thinks the tour of the pro-
fesstonals will be great success,
but believes Miss Browne, while the
equal of nearly every other feminine
player in the world. never will sue

against the French woman.

MALONEY WILL TEST
DE KUH'S RING WORTH
BY FAIR PLAY.

NEW YORK, October 20.-Putting
q young fighter like Arthur De Kuh
against an experienced battler like
Jim Maloney on Friday night looks
as though some one were trying to
get rid of a troublesome factor in the
plans to bring forth a young heavy
weight qualified to cope with Gene
Tunney next Spring.
1t is noticeable that De Kuh was
not given a look-in when Tex Rickard
was recently engaged in pairing up
heavyweight prospects. Now, how
ever, the young Italian whom Re
nato Gardini brought over here is
going to get a test which, If he has
not been joking, will delight his heart.
Maloney is a tough Irish walloper
and no mistake. 1t will be remem-
bered that he beat Jack Sharkey and
then fouled Jack in a later engage
ment. Each battle was hard fought
The Boston Irishman has been fight
ing only three years and in that time
has more than held his own with some
mighty good men. He has not done
much of late, though This was due
to his dissatisfaction with his man
ager. He got a new manager when
the old one vas paid $4,000 in the
trade. When any wise manager is
willing to pay that much to secure
scrapper, it stands to reason the
lad must be good.
Jack Kearns wanted Maloney when
he saw the beginning of the end of
his relationship with Dempsey. AS
for De Kuh, he has all the earmarks
of coming topnotcher. He will have
height, weight and reach on MalOney
and it remains to be seen whether or
not these advantages will offset the
Rostonian's greater experience.

RICHMOND, Ind. October 2O.-Sln-

when he was 13. In that start he
paced the first heat in 1882 and the
third in 1:5S&, thus setting n world
record for the two fastest heats in
any race.
He also holds the record for a mile
paced on a half mile track, 2:01, made
