I've got a bet on, and if I win yow're in fifty.” A week later a note came to him from Fred. “Come over, Dpresto, -chango-—whoop!” e He waited for Fred's reasons, and he got them. “There’s a whacking big change, Billy—you wouldn’t know her—guess she must have been starv-| ing. ‘But she’s bucked up & little. She went into the skirt chorus all right, but when I wanted her to go into tights —-nein! nein! but she’s made a hit ght off 'the reel. “Seeing she seemed to be a favorite of yours, I gave her a little tune and she made good all right.

BECKER'S TRIAL NOT IRREGULAR Perkins Claims All Evidence Was Obtained in Legal Way New York, July 16.—Returning from Albany, where he had been in conference with Governor Whitman, District Attorney Charles A. Perkins denied last night that his visit had { anything to do with recent develop- ments in the fight to save the life of Charles Becker, sentenced to die in Sing Sing prison during the week of July 26. Th appointment with the 80vernor, Mr, Perkins sald, was a per- Sonal one, and there was no reference made during the talk to the former Police lieutenant’s case. ‘Concerning the alleged irregulari- ties in obtaining the testimony of James Marshall, the negro witness at the second trial who idenufied Becker 88 being present at the “‘Harlem con- férence,” the district attorney issued a long statement. If thére was any irregularity, it stated, trusted members of the district attorney's staft would kave known it and all the evidence was obtained in the customary and legal way. Not Connected With Case, Regarding the willingness of As. sistant District Attorney Willlam A. de Forgd to testify in a John Doe pro- ¢eedings in behalf of Becker, the dis- trict attorney, in his statement, de- clared that Mr. de Ford never partici- rated in either the preparation or the trials of Becker. District Attornéy Perkins said that for several days rumors have been cir- culated to the effect that irregulari- tiés existed in the manner in which the evidence in the Becker case was obtained, and that. a faction in the district attorney’s office believed that Becker was made the victim of Rose and Webber. Mr. Perkins denied that there was any basis for these rumors. Governor Whitman’s Statement, Albany, N. Y., July 16.~The Betk- e¢r case was discussea yestérday by Governor Whitman and District At- torney Perking of New York, but only informally, the governor said: ‘“Mr. Perkins came here on matters not at -all connected with the Beck- €T case,” said the governor, “but, of course, we discussed it. | The talk was entirely informal, and Mr. Perkins had nothing new to present. “Mr, Perkins did deny a report that there was any irregularity about ob- taining an afdavit from John Mar- shall, one of the witnesses against Becker on his second trial. That's really the only news of the.case he brought and that was negative news.” CAUGHT AT IT AGAIN. Eddie Ketchell Tries to “Kid” Water- bury Fight Fans That He Is a Fighter. Waterbury, July 16.—“Wild Bill” Fleming of Old Town, Maine, who for the past year has been making his home in this eity, handed a hard beat- ing to Charlie Nolan, whose monicker is “One Round” when he is not shout- ing fares please on the local trolley lines, last night at the Auditorium. rose in him that he had never felt before; he looked down into the up- lifted face of the girl beside him and realized that he did not want her to. “No, I don't think it necessary,” said quietly. “Now, after the¢ show, will you stop with me in one of my haunts?” She looked up smilingly. “I have straight home, but I will—with you.” And she was gone. It was a happy hour they spent to- gether in the secluded corner of the restaurant where Lee made it his cus- tom to linger after the plays. He could hardly believe that the girl whose gentle brown eyes looked so wingomely and frankly into his was the girl he had aided such a short time before. When they left the restaurant he suggested a cab, and she added, “with a horse, not a motor,” and so they were soon rolling away over the smooth pavements. “Miss Reddon, there has been a wonderful change in you,” he said al- most before he thought, his mind led by the picture she made in the soft dusk of the cab. Her voice was tender with some- ! thing that stirred him. | “Yes, 1 know, and hoped there| would be. When a gir] here in this big city that isn’t so half bad as some paint it—because—because there are noble men in ita-but when she is lone- | | some for a good friend, hungry—yes, hungry, without a cent, and—and—is ) fighting to save her—her self-respect, | and some 6ne comes who asking noth- ing, gives her opportunity and help— she had reason to change,” she sald, | turning her face to the window. So gently, so gravely did she say it, ! ‘thnt for the moment Lee wondered if | ‘there was a hidden meaning that could | answer the ‘question in his heart. For {his part, he knew he loved her—of that he had come to know there was no j doubt. “I do not dare to take what you say | as mine—" “But it is—" she turned sharply. —all ‘over; but—it you so—Latson said you d‘fld‘d el Wfll 4 He reached over and put one hand Ion her slight gloved omne. “I have! he | k He saw the great relief on her face. | tak | Nolas td well in the fiest part of the fray, but the more experienced ring generalship of his opponent counted against him, and he was forced to take a terrific drubbing.
