A daughter of two worlds Is the
lStory of the life of Jennie Ma
wn daughter of "lllflck Jorrrt"
proprietor of Pfkln Onfe, In New
Tork. Everybody Know Black
JFerry. Ten years before this story
pens he hnd killed his wife, Jen
Sift's mother, n woman who bad suf
fered uuspenkably in trying to tnnkc
an honorable man of her husband.
He ovei hears the remarks of some
visitors to his place What becomes

future, and he clans to clve her a

Harry Edwards Is all Unaware of
the arrangements that are being
talked over by her father nnd "Uncle
George" to give her n "chance."
She sends Harry Edwards an ay nnd
wanders down to the cafe room. She
fa immediately caught otr behind
by "Slim Jackson" nnd swept out
into the dinelng snnre "FinMi this

this bunch how it ought to be done."
Xater "Slim" tells her of his dreams,
iU which she flgureu br his compan

not mnrrv him if he were twice ns
tig as his blgge dreams.

rpiIEN his ila'V mood passed, and he
" Imighed softlr. "I'm going to marry
Ton nl' the nme, Jennie. Just now all
I want Is a kiss "
A kiss was nn ordinary matter; she
had let Karry Howards kiss her with
out thinking mtcr about It other than
that Sho ratl'C UVed it. But Slim ehe

her rUht band fr'e- It still clutched the
Honey he had given her nnd drove her

He loosened her nad fell back at the
pein of the unexpected blow, and swore
in a suppressed voice. She ran up
the stairway, and then realizing that
he was not bInr pursued ) e turned
and railed down in a tauntl. 13 wnispcr:
"Thnt'B the gen "St kiss you'll ever
get from me. Slim Jackson'"
With hi whispered a swe there
came a soft Inugh. 'I tike joe all the
better for yon pep. Jennie I And just
remember we'-e going to the top to

He laughed so'tly agnli end disap

stairs to the landing, paused a mo
ment to arrnuge-her dress and heir and
to regain an i breath ; then casual!)
she opened the door and stepped into

OO-liA-LA was -o amazed When he
saw the great pl'.c of gems in the
cavern that he nearly fe off the head
of, Pindar, the giant elephant
"The rajah's stolen jewels," he whis-
9rcd. ,Pindar nodded his mighty hes'l
and in doing so almost shook Oo-la-lu 1
off.
"How ran we get them backV" asked
Peggy. Hundreds of Hindus were gath
ered around the mass of gems, and
every Hindu had in his eyes a greedy
look, that promised trouble if any one
tried to take the jewels from them
"Trickery is the way !" breathed Pin
dar loudly. "Oo-la-la must use the
trickery of his magic."
"I know a secret way into the cav
ern," sniffed the dog. "Perhaps that
sartll help you get the gems and perhhns
it will help me get back my lost half
ear from Ramda-Kin."
With the elephant still holding tightly
to his tail, the dog led them farther up
among the misty, mysterious hills. He
came to a large opening In the rocks
and halted: "Here is the secret en
trance," he sniffed. "It will take us
to the grotto of the Sacred Wooden Ele
pliant."
Ab the dog and elephant paused, the
sound of whimpering cries came from
close at hand.
"IJables are crying," whispered Pcg
jrv. Just then, however, a bit of the fog
blew away, and they saw near the path
a large cage mounted on, wheels. In
the cage were dozens of monkeys.
"liet us out," they mooned. "We
are belne carried awny to circus pris-
ens. Jjet us out uciore tne log nits
end our captors drag us awav."
"Humph 1 I've, heard of those circus
?risons, snorted Pindar. "Of course,
II let you out, Little Brothers." With
that he grasped a bar of the cage with
bis tnink A sham twist and he tore
it' out, Uavtpc a hole through which the
xoonkeys swarmed t6 freedom.

1 J'Come on. Harr, let's sing some
more," she suggested. "Soft, so as we
won't wake auntie."
Thej were still singing when half an
hour later the door from the stairway
opened, and Black Jerry entered fol
lowed by Uncle tleorge and a solidly
built man who carried a derby hat.
Black Jerry walked to the piano nud
glared at Jennie, his dark face fiercely
set, his black ejes blazing.
Jennie rose. "What's the matter,
dnd''"
"Curse you!" Jerry said huskily,
and hiB right nrm swung with spas
modic swiftness, nnd his open palm
cracked ngninst Jennie's cheek. She
toppled Hide wise, her outflung, saving
hands striking a wild discord as they
innie down among the piano keys.
"You big brute, ou!" cried Harry,
and let diive at him.
But Jerry, seemingly without hav
ing looked at him, caught his lung
ing arm by tho wrist, holding him
helpless.
Jennie came to her feet and pushed
between the two men.
"Keep out of this, Harry!" she or
dered. "He's got a right to lilt me if
he wants to Dad, what's that for?"
"For that phony Morrison check
that check you forged!"
"Dad I don't know what you're

"Iiies don't go between you nndmc,

".Maybe jou can, Llttlp Brothers, and
maybe you can do it right away," snort
ed l'indur. "Climb on my back nnd
come with us to help get back the
rajah's jewels."
The monkeja climbed to the ele
phant's back and Pindar again took hold
of the dog's tail. Thus they moved
into the entrance and ciept slowly along
in the dense darkness. They iune u
Inst to n large grotto overlooking the
big chamber in which the Hindus wen
gathered. A hugp form stood at the end
of the grotto, ae if on guard.
"An elephant." whispered Peggy.
"The Sacred Wooden Eiephnnt," an
swered Oo-la-la. "It's an idol."
And so It was an elephant idol made
of wood with a golden hondah such as
that on Pindar's back. The idol was
so largo it filled the end of the grotto,
blocking the view into the large cham
ber. Oo-la-la slid to the ground and
4-'rept forward to get a better look.
Pindar also wanted to see what was
going on. He found that the huge
wooden elephant was on wheels am!
pulled it back to a place where the
dark passage widened out. Then he
moved forward and stood still and si
lent where the idol had been. In the
dim light at the edges of the great
cavern he looked exactly like a wooden
elephant
Oo-la-la, leaning forward to see Into
the cavern, happened to send a bit of
stone tumbling down. In an instant
dozens of Hindus whirled around and
looked up. Oo-la-la could not dodge
hack In time to hide. He knew that if
he tried to flee the Hindus would rush
into the grotto nna the whole party
would be caught. His quick mind de
cided on a bold trick. He gave a loud
shout :
"Behold, all you Hindus, I am Oo-la
ia, the mighty magician! I have come
to work my magic among you!" With
that he leaped from the grotto to the
door of the cavern and strode toward
the cllttering heap of gems in the cen
ter of the crowd;
(Tomorrow trill be told how the
Hindus see magic of a kind they had
never dreamed of.)

idly for a moment, gazing from her
miner to tne detective. Then, "all

George, in the dajs before his retire
ment, had been an artist ; and at this
moment his dominant feeling was an
nrtlst.'s fmtmticnce with clumsy work.
"How'd jou get the check?" de
manded Jerry.
Sho remembered Sllm's request and
her own promise. "Sir. Morrison was
drinking, you know, and he must have
dropped his checkbook. I tore out a
check, and then a waiter gave the
book back to him."
"Anybody in the game with you?"
Inquired Casey.
Again her answer was guided by
Slim's request: "No, I did it all
alone."
Once more Black Jerry's wrath
surged up. And in Jerry's Inchoate,
inarticulate soul a sense that a wrong
had been done, a law broken, was no
element in his wrath. The few who
knew Jerry most intimately knew him
an a "straight guy"; but for him there
was no right or wrong the sole mean
ing of this ito- him wns that something
had happened which was violently con
trary to his interests and his desires
for Jennie.
"You damned little fool!" he burst
out.
Again he raised his hand. She
stepped swiftly back; the angered palm
fell to bis side, clenching and un
clenching. "Don't be too sore, dad," she ar
gued rapidly., "You're not going to
'ose anything." She turned and lifted
the artificial roses from the Jar 011 the
daiio, recovered the monej and held it
out to her father "I heard you say
jou were going to square this case.
There's the twenty-five dollnrb I
haven't spent a cent of it. Tnkc it
and square that Mr. Morrison."
He looked nt her grimly. "Mr.
Morrison won't be squared."
"But J thought"
"So did I, but I just learned that
Morrison don't care about the money.
He's sore and wants to prosecute to
the limit."
"Then then " Jennie stopped, be

"You mean I'm pinched?"
"les. Better put on your hat nnd

She felt Casey slip a hand under her
arm, and guided by him she went up
through the wide portals of the build
ing, across the rear of the courtroom
and through a passage into a grimy
chamber in which some ten or n dozen
wqmen lounged about awaiting trial.
For nil her sense of impending per
sonal disaster Jennie looked her tellow
prisonera over quickly. A few were
bedraggled,' hats awry, with skirts
rudejy dissociated from wnlsts, and
others had high-colored, bold-eyed
faces. Circumstances had acquainted
Jennie wltft1 a .wide area of life, and she
knew what these women were charred

the way things were; but she drew

nnd ,a luminous balA head. She heard
the dfficlnl mechanically chew out n
speech with remarkable rnpiemy mo
Unintelligibility, ending with "Are you
ready for trial now?"
"Y'cs," quavered Jennie.
A man who had appeared nt Jennie's
side spoke up quickly, persunsivcly.
"Your Honor, my client admits her
guilt and we stnnd perfectly ready to
make immediate restitution of the
amount which she came Into illegal pos
session of. Your Honor, the defend

her first offense; nnd she did It In

"Judge. I won't stnnd for anything
of the sort!" declared n voice on the
other side of the bai'Iff a voice Jennie
knew to be Mr. Morrison's.
At this the magistrate for the first
time looked up f'om the pancrs he had
been signing. He had tired, blase eyes

Jennie was then ordered to the stand.
Sitting on high at the magistrate's el
bow she was n-trcmble with fright
stage-fright nnd the more fundamental
fear as to what was going to hannen
to her. Her eyes swept out over tho
crowd ; she snw her father and Uncle
ueorge sitting obscurely in tnc dsck
seat of the-court-room; -nnd nearer to
her she picked out the pale face of
uarry Kdwards.
She pulled herself together and faced
the magistrate, h,er lulck wits having
come back lo her. She was afraid,
but she acted more afraid than she
really w&s, nnd also more contrite, in
response to the magistrate's question
ing, she made her confession just as
she had made Itn Htt.e earlier to her
father and Uncle George, leaving 811m
Jarkson entirely out of J lie affair.
"You know?-what you have been
guilty of?" the magistrate demanded
with Impressive severity when she had
ended.
"Yes," answered Jennie.
"You have been guilty of forgery.
You arc n young girl nnd I hope this
will he a lesson to you. Arc your par
ents living?"
"My father Is, sir."
"Is he In court?"
"I think not, sir."
"Officer Casey" severely "why
didn't you notify this girl's father to
be in court?"
"I believe he Is here, your honor,"
Casey had to admit.
The magistrate gave Jennie a sharp
glance. Then he spoke to his bailiff.
"Find this girl's .father and bring
him to me."
A minute later Black Jerry was
pushed through the gate in the railing
and up before the desk. At sight of
him the magistrate stared.
"Why, it's Jerry Malone 1 Black
Jerry!" he exclaimed.
He saw that the reporter was lean
ing eagerlyNpver his desk and thnt the
uptown ladies were excitedly attentive.
He was a judge who roared righteously
from the bench when effective and safe
opportunity was offered ; and this was
developing Into an unusual chance for
desirable pub'icity. His tired, rou
tine voice sounded out shnrply. clearly,
so that it peached throughout the court
room. "Black Jerry!" he repeated. "That
changes the case entirely 1 Jerry Ma
lone the notorious, the infamous
Blnck erry"" He fairly hammered
Jerry with his words.
(CONTINUED TOMORROW)
"Nothing that I know of, Mr.
Drake," replied Susie icily.
"Bless my soul if I know what I've
done," he muttered and gave the order.
Susie sailed away to bring his din
ner. Then, contrary to her custom, she
left him. From a distance she watched.
Once she saw him glance back and
open his mouth, as if to address her.
Finding himself deserted he turned
quickly to his plate, as though fenrln
some one might have observed him." His
shoulders drooped pathetically, and he
did not eat with his usual appetite.
Suddenly an idea occuncd to her. He
might have been sick. A wave of colo"
flushed her shamed face. As quietly
as possible she glided across the room
to her accuftomed place near his chair.
He must have been listening for her.
for he Instantly tu-ned
"How about a little taxi ride, Susie?"
he queried, with assumed indifference.
Susie swayed forward. "A taxi
ridel" she echoed. "My goodness.

"I'll wait outside,'' said Joe briefly,

ing. "That's where I've been cat ." He
bit off the final word in confusion.
Susie canned. "There now." she
crlfd. "You vc been saving Up on din
ners for this mow. Tbnt's just like
you." There was a mellow fullners in
her voie as she turned glowing eyes on
him. Her hand fluttered above his like
a butterfly eager, yet fearing to alight.
Joe settled that instantly, and cap
tured the other hand with it. ' .
"You see, Susie, I couldn't take any
thing out of the 'home fund' in the
bank " he whlsnered. "I didn't think nf
your not understanding." He laughed.
"1 guess 1 felt as u you must read my
mind."
The taxi gave a violent jolt. Susie's
head landed against Joe's shoulder.
She wns blissfully silent for a while.
Suddenly she sat erect.
"Is that thing counting up what it
costs?" she exclaimed, pointing,
"Yep." Joe replied tranquilly.
She leaned forward and poked the
chauffeur in the back, "I want to get
out."
Joe stared in amazement as the taxi
halted. Susie spcang to the curb.
"We'll walk' back." she said flrmlv.
Arm in arm, in that happy state of
mind when It, matters not whether one
walks or rides, they sauntered on.
"Ydli're a funny one." demurred Joe.
"I thought you wanted a ride."
"What?" she exclaimed, "squander
money on a taxi when we might put It
in the 'home fund '7 I guess not!"

TARASOVAtilVES-FOlfK-SONG
RECITAL
Russian Singer, Assisted by
.Max, C;na( Cellist, Delights
Audienco at Metropolitan
Nina Tarasova the Russian folk-song
singer, gave one o"f her characteristic
entertainments 'at the Metropolitan
Opera House last evening before a good
sized audience, most of which seemed
to be nt home in the language of the
singer and enjoyed the recital im
mensely. Miss Tarasova was ably as
sisted by aMaz Gefnn, the well-known
cellist.
As Miss Tarasova sang entirely in
Russian, with the exception of n clever
little child' song entitled "Tho Big
Brown Boar," which she gave in Eng
lish with a charmingly piquant accent.
It Is useless to enumerate the English
titles of her songs. They ran the entire
gamut of the human emotions andrwere
all rendered with a sincerity that went
far' toward givlng'thosc who were not
able to understaod'the words an excel
lent Ida of tho meaning of the song
or the ballad.
In her-sdngs or rather interpreta
tions Miss 'Tarasova nays little atten
tion to singing nure nnd simnle. concen
trating all her attention on the dramatic!
possibilities of the poem nnd using the
music merely ns n background, which,
after all, ,1s the original manner of sing
ing folk song nnd carries out Its first
purpose namely, that of telling the
story. Her volco is of nleaslng quality,
rather low in niteh nnd capable of great
drnmntle expression. She also has con
siderable1 nblUtv ns nn a,ctrcss nnd her
manneriof giving the songs was received
with intense n'casure bv the nudlcnce.
who repeatedly recalled her after tho
several jrrouns.
Mr. Gegna showed himself to bo a
most exce'lent cellist, .with a strong
leaning toward his native (Russian)
folk spng, one of which he used in eacn
of his tivo grounq of numbers thus sup
porting Miss Tarasovn's program and
giving it uulty. He has an excellent
pchninue. but it is in his beauty of tone
that he "especially excels. For his -first
group he nlaycd the Col Nidrci of
Brueh, a Russian folk song, "Forgot
ten," and the Elfindnnce of Ponper.
nnd on his second nnpenrance he gavo a
Russian folk song nnd the brilllnnt
Hungarian rhorisody bv Ponper. -This
last is n difficult number, both for the
bow and for tho left hand, but Mri
Gegnn' easPy overcame these nnd'dls
nlaved withal the same volume nnd
bentitv of tono which marked the earlier
numbers.
