What Happened at Freddy's.

" VEN to the most hardened habit
l. ues, a sense of strain, of some
thing unusual and mysterious,
IL prevailed that night in the club
over which New York Freddy
was the presiding genius. There were
some of the more devoted gamblers
who continued to play their game with
out an upward glance; few constant
drinkers were too tar gone to be Sus-
ceptible to any sort CT atmospheric and
several of the women especially we're
too reckless to care. But among the
others a spirit of IeStlcssness prevailed.
The bacCarat table was frequently
broken up: more than once waiter in
the act of serving drink had paused
to listen. The door was being guarded
with far more than the usual attention.
Freddy, instead of joining in the
CHASTITY merrimcnt of the place, was
continually disappearing into his Office
and remaining there in seciusion. The
only two who seemed entirely ct their
case were Victor Porle and Solomon
Graunt. seated at their table a little
around the corner and near the bar,
with bottle of brandy between them.
The Russian woman, wandering ein-
lessly about, pulled her chair up to
their table
ITO night, my dear lady,, Victor
Porle warned her, I'VE do not need
company. Seek other friends, beg of
you"
Her violet eyes glowed at him while
her great body, ill-contained in her
scanty clothing, sWayed and trembled.
,"YCu two are the friends whom l
desire" she declared. "You may be
devils, but you are also men"
'You are better away from u.s." Vic
tor Porle persisted. MY friend and /
have, in fact, little enterprise to con-
duct. There will be trouble here before
long"
You would be wrong to send me
away" she persisted "You may need
my help. 7 am strong woman: am
one who loves to fight. Beneath my
corsets is knife"
There is other trouble" Solomon
Graunt whispered. There is a police
raid threatened"
Let it come" she answered scorn-
fully. "a cell in the police courts is
no worse than nv room in Seven Dials
lane. The only joy of those who crawl
is that they have no lower to co.
They forget her for a moment. The
door labeled private" was slowly
pushed open. Freddy showed himself
upon the threshold. He was at all
times a repulsive-looking object: so
completely creature of the sewers that
to meet him out in the daylight in the
streets would have seemed a thing i'm
possible. The color of his cheeks was
green to ghastliness. the curve of his
twisted lips venomous He was like a
man drunk with strange drugs. who
had crept out of some horrible under
world. Even Victor Porle gazed at him
with disgust Nevertheless he sum-
moned him to the table.
Freddy" he invited, drink with U.S."
For moment the man hesitated. a
strange look in his infiamed eyes,

THE FORTUNATE WAYFARER
BY E. PHILLIPS OPPENHEIlE


this cannot be the club where your
friend awaits u.s. Why, 1t is horrible!"
We'll clear out" Gerald announced
sharply. This slum isn't fit for you
women. Stand away from that door,
you!"
Then came a few seconds of more
momentous upheaval. Above the gut
tural conversation of the men. the
oaths of the card players. the shrill,
historical laughter of the women, came
4 sound full of menace-the loud, shrill
changing Of an electric gong set in the
middle of the wall. While it rang, men
and women everywhere sat or stood as
though turned to stone. A man who
was dealing kept his hand extended.
They were all strange studies in arrest
ed motion. The echoes of that brazsn
warning had scarcely died away, how
ever before pandemonium set in. Card
tables were thrown over, men and
women were running about like rabbits.
Then the lights went out. and the place
would have been in complete darkness
but that the moon was shining through
the one uncurtained window. Gerald,
who had been vainly shaking the door
through which they had entered, with
Laurisa clinging to his arm, turned
back into the room. Mime. ola Mendoza
had disappeared as though caught up
in the rubbish A man more composed
than the rest paused to look curiously
at these unusual visitors.
Whats wrong? Is it fire." Gerald
demanded.
mo, the cops" was the quick reply.
you can get out this way If you
hurry"
"A raid" Gerald exclaimed. Buck
up. Laurita! Cling on to my arm, and
We'll make dash for 1t"
They moved step forward through
| the now almost deserted rooms. Sud-
denly, in its narrowest portion, just be-
tween the one bare window and
Frcddy's Office, they came up against two
men who barred their further progress
Victor Porle and Solomon Graur1t.
The formers face, caught by CLEAN
Of white moonlight, streaming palely IN
| through the dust-incrusted window,
was terrible in its malicious triumph.

UTAH LOVE FOR SEAGULL
CHANGES TO BITTERNESS
Birds, Once Brought in to Combat
Crickets, Now Gorge Selves
on Farmers Crops.

SALT LAKE CITY Op).-The seagull,
once esteemed In Utah, is not so popu-
lar now.
Some 30 years ago when Mormondon
was threatened with o crop devastation
due to an invasion Of crickets. thou-
sands Of the graceful birds swept In
from the Pacific Ocean, sievoured the
insect pests and averted possible
famine.
To show their appreciation Utahans
erected a monument in honor of their
winged friends. A great gull sculptured
with spread wings is perched at the
top.
Now. the farmers complain, focks of
the birds make their home near Salt
Lake and sally out into the fields to
gorge themselves on cherries. other
fruits and grain crops. They are so
ravenous and bold they can scarcely be
shaken out of fruit tree.
There is growing demand that the
law protecting gulls be repealed. and the
bitterness of some farmers is such that
they advocate tearing down the seagMl
monument.

! Five of New York city. worlds col ored champions. will oppose the local New Departure quintet. The famous Senegambian troupe needs no introduction in this sec- ton. having provided two of the hot test court battles of the season last year against the bearing makers. In the first contest, the dark-skinned athletes came through in front 35 to % in a torrid engagement. but the factory crowd balanced the scales by winning the return meeting, S4 to 32. Manager Carroll has been ex- tremely fortunate in securing this galaxy of high priced court stars for their first appearance in this section, and is offering the unusual attrac- ton at the regular price of admis- sion.
 The visitors will use practically the same lineup as that which showed to such good advantage here last year. Referee Billy Ccyle will send the teams into action promptly at o'clock.

 The fire. according to fire depart 1 ment officials. started in the base ment to. the store occupied by the Ward C. Parsons company, auto mobile dealer. A large pile of auto mobile seat cushions and old tires i in one corner of the basement was | blazing when the fire apparatus ar rived and the first and second floors of the building were, filled with smoke. The fire worked it's way through the partitions to the sec ond floor but a number of auto mobiles in the salesroom were un- damaged except by smoke. The cause of the fire was undetermined this morning.

REPORT 2S YOUNG
 WOMEN ARE CAPTIYES
Held in Lairs by Mexican Insurgents Following Raid on Sev-
 eral Towns.

Mexico City. Dec. 14 R-Twenty- two young women were reported by travellers from Jalisco to be held captive today in the mountain lairs of insurgents who raided the town of Jilotepec in that state. The young women abducted were described as the prettiest in the town. Federal troops were in pursuit of the kid napers.
 Travellers said the insurgents in- vaded Jilotepec last week and dyna-
 mited the municipal building. They then went to homes and raided the larders of the townsfolk, most of whom were at q motion picture
 show.
 The footing completed. the insur- gents surrounded the motion pie ture theater. They lined up the men on one side of the building. with their hands up. While some of the insurgents stood guard over the men, others selected the % prettiest girls in the audience. Then the band galloped off to their hiding places
 in the mountains, taking the women
 with them.

COLLECTORS RECEIVE
 NEW POSTAGE STAMPS
Commemorate Civil Aeronautics Con- ference and Silver Jubilee of
 Invention of Airplane.

Copies of the two new postage stamps issued in commemoration of the International Civil Aeronautlcs conference in Washington and the silver jubilee of the invention Of the airplane have been received by local collectors There are two denomlna- tions, a two cent printed in carmine and a five cent blue. The former shows the first successful Wright airplane in flight. with the pilot sit ting on the front of the lower wing. the engine exposed, and the numer- ous struts and surfaces which have long since been eliminated. On the five cent a modern monoplane, contrasting sharply with the old Wright biplane. is seen against a background formed by the globe of the earth.
 Both stamps have similar frames. with the Washington monument at the left and the Capitol at Washing ton at the right. ''International Civil Aeronautics Conference" and the dates December 12, 13. fl. 1928" are also found on the stamps. in addition to the usual "U. s. Post age" and designation of value. The stamps received here were mailed from the special post office in the building where the conference is being held. The stamps on the letters are cancelled with specia! machine cancellation bearing an air. plane and the name and dates of the conference. In honor of the occa sion, the governmental ruling against colored postmarks was lifted. and the cancellations were applied ill green.
