CHAPTER V.
What Will You Bid for This Woman?
White Slavery—Price of a Body and Soul—Hell’s Bondage—The “Cadet” Master—Death the Penalty—The Trapping of the Prey.
Thirty-three per cent of the women fed to the insatiable god of lust in the “redlight” districts of Chicago are White Slaves!
Nearly two thousand women, annually, are sold to the highest vice bidders!
They are procured from every imaginable source and by every imaginable method.
Thousands of women drift yearly into a life of prostitution, driven to it by hunger and want primarily.
Why then must others be sought out, trapped, brought, bound and tied, stood on the auction blocks of vice and sold to the thump of the gavel?
Because the demand is far greater than the supply!
Hell is always hungry; the taste of blood on the lips of the monster Vice, drives him mad with desire for more blood; the crushing of bones and the morsels of white woman’s flesh, frenzies him for other bodies!
