ENID HOWARD leaned forward tensely as her companion paused with far off look in his gray eyes.
 "Go on." she urged. I'm going as soon as I've heard the rest of your story Then you'll be able to eat in peace"
 "On that basis, I'd like to drag it out" he told her impulsively "But I'm afraid there isn't much more to tell. Shive and I, se2ar- ateiy and together, tried to locate Varney but failed. Shiye couldn't Ind the photograph, and we had little to go on.
 And then, just as was begin ming to think we were up against a stone wall Shiye telephoned me today that he'd not only found the photograph but had track Of Var noy himself. I'm to meet Shive here later tonight

home, she was singing. Not aloud, of course. A girl couldn't sing at that hour of night on Third ave- nue without inviting attention. The song was<really in the lightness of her steps, in the poise of her head and the tinge of heightened color in her cheeks. She told herself she was unaccountably happy. She knew it was because of Phil Mar tin; she was sure he was what he said he was,
 She turned off the avenue ontc side street and headed toward East river. Then the song went cut of her heart to be Supplanted by a furry of alarm. Behind her she heard the sound of a mans footsteps. She quickened her steps the man quickened his. She was being followed.

 She was silent for moment, her eyes on the greasy little Joe Ca- prillo at his desk from which he watched the patrons of his restaur- ant.
 T think" she said at last. that eventually you will get the Big Shot and that your paper will score it's scoop, thanks to you; but I cannot help feeling that how ever much the Big Shot is wanted wish it were Shive Frank instead, that you were after. He is des- picable beyond words And l wish, too'-she hesitated slightly that your success might come through some other medium. Do you mind me saying that?"
 No" he said gravely. "As a matter of fact I agree with you, though I think the end amply jus tifies the means in this case. IL isn't nice. But there is no other way"
 T suppose not" she admitted re- luctantly. Anyway want to thank you for telling me the story" she smiled in a quick. friendly way trusting me with it. And now I must goi It's an unconscionable hourl" She thrust out her wrist watch for him to see. "Half-past twelyel"
 Martin was gazing at her in- tently. Hesitantly. he spoke. Its none of my business, of course, and I haven't the slightest right to say it, except that-well, just feel ought to as a-friend--if you will let me call myself that. I know a lot more about conditions around here in this locality than you do You're too dashed pretty and at- tractive to be unaccompanied to joints like this. It's risky and dangerous.
 He was too obviously sincere to be misunderstood. Even that de- termined jaw looked little more determined now in his earnestness She answered him in like measure

RACE BETTING
GIANT INDUSTRY,
SURVEY SHOWS
Many Millions Are Wagered
Despite Economic Crisis
and Drought.

By United Prcss
NEW YORK, Aug. 19.-Race
track betting is hourishing as a
$3.50, 900, 900 industry this year, OBJ
livious of the economic crisis and
the drought.
Betting on the races, which the
average man sees as a chance to
satisfy the desire to get something
for nothing, needs only the win Of
an outsider in prominent race to
spur it into increased activity.
Such was the win of Jim Dandy
over Gallant Fox and Whichone IN
the Travers stakes at Saratoga
Springs last Saturday.
Bookmakers believe Jim Dandy's
win at 100 to l will increase their
business for a week or two because
many betters will figure: IF had
placed $40 on Jim Dandy I'd have
$1,000 now"
Estimate of $45o,O0O 300, which
must remain a guess because of the
impoSSlblllty OF computing WagerS
placed with bookmakers away from
the tracks, is based on the following
figures: Winter meetings in Louis
lana and seasonal meetings in Ohio
and West Virginia, $50,000,000;
Maryland, $70,0O0000; Kentucky,
$50 900 600; Illinois, SOS, 100000; New
York, $S0,oO0,OO0; hand books, Amer
lean, Canadian and Mexican tracks,
$150,000, 900.
In New York and Ohio betting is
against the law, but loopholes are
found.

The Bell City hoopsters taught the Hart ford club q lesson in defensive ani offensive play which it will never forget. Captain Eddie White, work ing Hristors renowned pivot play. fed Ben Allajrc and the other visi. ing court stars from the foul line and ran up |" lead of seven points at the half and 14 at the three mark. The lead accumulat- ed by the Maroon in the carly stages of the tilt was never overcome by the Capital Cityites. who attempted long shots continually and made three. The only home player who did any damage to speak of Was Tommy kearns, the elongated cen ter, who chalked up nine points for the afternoons work.
 The hundreds ol fans who wit messed the game mawelled at the attack of the Bristol boys and applauded greatly as the hom club attempted to knife the visitors zone defense but with no degree ot Succc.s.
