Thrilling Duel to Death
Between Girl and Big Gambler
vAileen Dulcifer, Known to All Cabaret Ha
bitues, Challenges the Famous Stock Market
Operator. John Schmaar, Believing He Is
Planning to Swindle the Man She Loves.
George Kibbe Turner Reveals the Facts in
This Most Curious Case of a Woman's Devo
tion in These Hectic Days.
One of the most sensational stories of the summer is that
involving a death wager between Aileen Dulcifer, known
wherever the lights are brightest along Broadway and the
Atlantic City Boardwalk as a type of the feminine butterfly
that has developed since the war, and John Schmaar, stock
market'-operator and one-time famous Western gambler.
' The affair," it; seems, had its beginning at the beautiful
home "of )5chrriaaf overlooking the Hudson River. It has
beeni t4e promoter's custom to gather about him there during
the fiutomer-some of1 'the fluffiest of New York butterflies
and whatever men happened to be ripe for his plucking.
-Aileen Dulcifer; was such a girl, living from day to day
on her bridge, Winnings, only to be caught at last in the
meshes of Schmaar's net along with a young Western mining
man by the name of Gladden.
The sensational death wager between the Dulcifer girl
and Schmaar, it appears, developed in the course of a con
versation on: the terrace of the home, in which Schmaar de
nied that the modern women of "the class he surrounded
himself with by choice possessed any sense of honor or a
shred of real bravery.
irThe whole story of the affair has now been told in detail
by George Kibbe Turner, the famous American author, whose
knowledge of Schmaar's past and present life is most minute.
Mr. Turner calls his account of the death compact "Moon
light," because it seems that the effect of moonlight on a
certain sort of human being is most definite. The outcome
of the wager will be awaited with lively interest by everyone
who reads the entire story .; . ;
No less extraordinary, though less sensational, is the
result of the quest of Major Cardon, wealthy man of fashion
and ex-soldier, for a certah girl whom he met under unusual
circumstances in Chicago. Pursuing her and her mother to
the Yellowstone, she there denied that she had ever met the
Major and fled to. Del Monte, California. The (Juest came to
an end there this month under most unusual circumstances.
The story, of the pursuit 6f "The Astonishing Suzanne" is
told by Emerson Hough, the famous author, who is a friend
of all the people concerned.
In neither of these stories, however, is there the same
quality of clever detection that develops in the case of "The
Mottled Butterfly,'' all the facts in' which' are disclosed by
the greatest Uteraryjdetective in the world, Melville Davis
son Pdst. C-Just how a French police inspector restored to a
famous Marquise the pearls that had been stolen from her
will capture the imagination of every reader.
In addition to the foregoing you may today read a won
derful capital-and-labor story by Burton Kline, another vivid
itory. of childhood by Booth Tarkington, the story of a femi
nine crook, by John A. Moroso and a remarkable baseball
story by Gerald Beaumont. For they are all to be found
with six other great stories in the August issue of The Red
Book Magazine. At all news stands NOW. ,

I turned to' the waiting clerk:
"Will you please lay aside 70 yards
of -this? Here is a deposit, and I
will return shortly for the bundle."
"Oh, yes. Miss! Thank you, Miss."
The icry English farewell of the
clerk followed me from the shop,
one of the ultra smart ones in which
the fashionable summer resort
abounds, and I saw Dicky grinning
at it as we hurried toword the car.
"Yes your ladyship. No, your
ladyship. Isn't' there something
more we can offer your ladyship?"
he mocked when we were once more
headed for the hospital. "They cer
tainly do the subservient courtesy
act up brown here. How much per
cent do you suppose they tack on to
the cost of each article for the 'thank
you, Miss" stuff?"
"Enough. I fancy," I returned,
"although that white-ruffled curtain
material was not exorbitant in price.,
but quite reasonable indeed. Let
me see, five yards to each window,
and in the front bedroom there are
three, two each in those"
"For the love of Mike, also Pete!"
Dicky exploded. "Can the mental
arithmetic when I'm around! You
ordered 70 yards, you must have had
some idea of how much you
wanted."
"I have." I returned, with dignity,
"I was simply checking up my esti
mate." "Well,. 'you-' must be doing it for
the fun of the thing!" he retorted.
"For I never knew you to make a
mistake in your arithmetic before.
So cut it out. Do you suppose that
sawbones has really arrived?". I
hope I didn't hurt that child!"
"You May Come in Now."
The exclamation came explosively
from his lips, and I glimpsed the
very real terror that he had been
masking beneath his careless ex
terior. With the memory of Dr.
Pettit's chilling declaration that he
could not tell the extent of the in
jury until he had reached the hos
pital, I did not dare give any assur
once to Dicky, '. knowing that he
would in all probability resent my
attempting to give him any. Yet
he would be equally resentful of si
lence, so I answered nancommit
tally: "I can't believe that you hurt her,
Dicky. You raised her very ten
derly." "It makes a lot of difference what
you believe!" he snarled. It was ex
actly the answer I expected, for I
knew that his nerves were tensed,
and, in a way, I was glad of it, for it
gave me an excuse for not speaking

Outside Marion's door we came
upon Robert Savarin pacing up and
down, his hands gripped tightly to
gether behind him. But as soon as
lie saw Dicky's face he came for
ward and put his hand on iIkv
younger man's shoulder.
"Don't distress yourself so, old
chap," he said kindly. "I do not
think your action made the slightest
difference with Marion's injuries.
She was quite herself again after
you left, The physician is with her
now, making a thorough examina

"Thank you, Savarin." Dicky's
hand went out gratefully to that of
the elder man, and then the door
opened and Miss Jones stepped into
the hall. , .
"You may come in now," she said
briskly, and we all hied into the
room where Dr. Pettit was standing
by Marion's bed with his stiffest pro
fessional manner upon him.
What Dicky Aasked.
The child had tiny drops of
perspiration upon her. forehead, and
her face was pallid, proofs of the

quietly, and I knew that she could
not bear to let us wait Dr. Pettit's
slower assurance. "Please telMhem,

"There is no permanent injury, I

This was evidently news to Lil
lian, for she lifted her head quickly
and looked at the physician fixedly.
"May I stay with her?" she asked.
"I expect you to," he answered.
"She needs no professional care, ex
cept when she has to be moved, and
then a nurse will be always within
call. But you will not need a spe
cial nurse, and I am sure you will
be very comfortable here together."
"Dr. rettitl" Dicky struck in ab

"It didn t do her any good, lie re
