BEGIN HERE TODAYJohn Ainsley. a man of education and breeding; becomes a master crook —preying- upou other thieves. Amidst ell the afternoon traffic on Fifth Ave. he knocks down a man whom he secs brutally rubbing a hunch back's hump, and then runs. ”• At an auction Ainsley makes a small purchase of tapestry and then sits back and watches the proceedings. The auctioneer holds up a golden box. studded with dowels, that had been mad* for a multimillionaire of vulgar tastes. The box Is sold for $65,<00 to Marcus Anderson, a man who became, during the war, one of the richest men in the world. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY 11~~1 STAYED awhile longer, watching less valuable things £J as they were auctioned off, but I noticed no one present who, seemed to offer me a chance of future profit. They were all decent, wellbred folk,, and it is not upon these that I wage my warfare. No gentleman or lady need even fear the activities of John Ainsley. There ore enough vulgarians in trie world for me to prey upon. So I left. I dismissed Anderson from iny mind. After all, I need an opportunity for the exercise of my taleftt, and there was no opportunity here. It was sheer accident that made me lunch that day at the Mirabeau. The wine-like air and the bright sun made me continue down the Avenue as far as Washington Square, and then I discovered that I was hungry. The Mirabeau, the resort of lovers of food, was the nearest place. I dropped in there, surrendered myself to the discretion of the voluble French waiter who attended me, and began a hearty, meal. I paid little atteijtion to my fellowguests, an almost evenly divided mixture of Bohemians, business men and Frenchmen. I noti*e that those who scrutinize their neighbors In public places ifivite an equal scrutiny, and so I keep my eyes upon my plate. I am content that few people know me by sight, ,and that still fewer know me by the name under which I choose to masquerade. But a waiter stumbled against me; and in acknowledging his quick apology. I looked up. Just beyond him I saw two people. One w'as the hunch-

back whose humiliation—although he had not at thevtimc seemed aware of it —I had reSented fey day. The other was the most dangerous gn,n in Europe, the man whom I had out Wilted months ago, Monsieur' Armand Coehet, known to the underworld and the police of Europe as the master ■criminal leader of the world, the White Eagle. Myself? Ah, I say that Coehet is the greatest criminal leader. I work alone, needing no gangsters to fcarry out my orders, using no machinery save my own hands and mind in the achievement gs my triumphs. Also, if more need be said on the question of thd relative abilities nf the White Eagle and myself, you who have read my memoirs will remember the affair of the Club of One-eyed. Men, and will not have forgotten that 1 scored off the Whit® Eagle in that Instance. . For that matter, I knew that the White Eagle had nbt forgotten it. and while I lay claim.to at least an ordinary courage, I will confess that, as I met those fierce blue eyes, panic assailed me. The great curved bfialc which was Aft nose and which, in conjunction wifeh his white ham, had given him his nickname;_th,e wide mouth, thinlipped, with a sneefing droop at one ctfrnerrSnd the little body, still powerful despite his years—these filled me with a teat that I had nqver known before. And I have seen the gray-clad boche leaping do\v;n into the trench w'here I was standing. And then I was able to banish fear. For I remembered th'at the White Eagle did not know the face of the man who had tricked him months ago. True, one of his followers knew me but men are rarely recognized by descriptions. Arid p'en as I gavemyself this assurance, the White Eagle glanced carelessly away, and he and his companion followed the w r aiter to a table. I heard them state that they were' expecting a thC'd person, and I took the chance that that third perfibn was not the one-eyed follower of the "White Eagle who knew me by sight. For where the White Eagre flew,

a There must bo "prey. I had robbed him of i >s quarfy before; 1 might do it again. Aml this was a game worthy of my"*alent. Robbing stupid profiteers hardly gave me excitement. 'But snatching meat from the talons of the AVijite Eagle wVs a, man's sport. I smiled as I thouglrt of the elaborate organization ruled by M. Cochet. What a triumph If once again I could make that organization work, not for its master, but for myselff. “MY DEAR DUKE!” CRIED ANDERSON. Fear counseled me to pay my check and quietly depart. Pride told me that if I continued the easy road, my genius would desert me. I called myself nn artist; in my heart I knew that I was worthy of that title. But the artist who of deliberate choice paints pot-boilers, ceases to be an artist. I had wished to rob Anderson, a <gross, stupid man without wit to cope with lpe, if I decided to asail his security. Had I snatched Anderson’s box, it would have been an act of common robbery. Yet I had for a moment considered doing that verjj thing. Why? Because my wits were growing rusty from disuse. 'Here tvas a chance to .sharpen them. And even as I said this to I realized that I had spoken the truth. For into the restaurant came Marcus. Anderson, and he joined White Eagle and his hunchback companion. “My dear Duke!” cried Anderson. 80 Monsieur Armand Coehet, the. White Eagle, was a-duke! The sentimentalities that April had brought to me left me for good.

Beyond Anderson's salutation to | the copie who awaited him, I could | hear no more of their speech. Only ] the multi-millionaire's snobbish dej light at knowing a gentleman of j title had enabled me to hear his I greeting-.'' - , Anderson had deliberately spoken loudly in order that the patrons of the restaurant might know that aristocurcy was here. Now, content that attention had been attracted, Anderson did not raise his voice. But stealing an occoasional glance at him through the medium of a mirror on the wall, I could see that the man wad* overcome with snobbish gratification. But one does not need to hear — if one is John Ainsley—in order to know what isbeing said. I could follow the course of their conversation easily. First there were'the pleasant inquiries concerning each other’s health. Then there was a reminiscent anecdote by the White Eagle. The pale-faced hunch back capped his leader’s story., delivered himself of a heavy jest. Encouraged, he began to brag. The White Eagle led him on, ably assisted by the cripple. # I could tell that the two criminals —the hunchback must necessarily ’be a criminal, inasmuch as he was the White Eagle's companion—were grossly flattering their guest. And Anderson was lapsing It up like a greedy pup. Now', Armand Coehet did nothing, I judged, without ai purpose. The man was a gentleman, fallen, it is true, from his high estate, but a man of fine intuitions and delicate instincts. Such a one could take no pleasure in the society of Anderson. This was business upon which the White Eagle was engaged; Kothing less would have made him tolerate the Society of the profiteer. But what was his Jujsiness? I meant, when I put'the question to myself, the exact nature of the scheme which the White must be planning. Robbery, of course; but what, when and bow? I lingered over my coffee until the others paid their check and passed by my table. I stole another glarice at-'the hunchback. He was a fit companion for his master, for despite his slight and deformed physique, there was upon his face a ruthlessness equal to that of the White Eagle. His delifiate features and pale skin would have made the unobservant class him as a poeticminded youth. Most of us, when delicacy Is coupled with deformity, ascribe spirituality to the partnership. But I. who must know criminals, understood that the clean-cut

j mouth was vicious, and ■ that the brown eyes flashed hate more often than mirth. Dei.-yrely I followed them. I saw them step into Anderson's town car. and start uptown. I followed in a ta *i- 1 was not foolish enough to tell my driver to folldw the car ahead, but I told him to go slow'ly, that I wished to enjoy the spring air; and when the town car turned a corner, I suggested to my driver, he do the same thing. So without arousing the suspicion, I jaw the town car stop before a modest private residenec on a side street in the upper East Side, and noted the number of the house into which the \vhite Eagle and his companion entered. As for Anderson, his address was easy to find. A telephone book —or if his telephone was not listed —there were a hundred other ways to find where he liyed. I did not wish to follow him farther. \ I dismissed my taxi at Madison Ave., and entered a grocery store. It was an expensive looljdng shop, the sort that would .fashionable patronage.
