A cprofotype of the Arthil Dodger: he has gone from pocketinloking to buneo steering, ‘and then run the entire gamut of crime. stopping 'wh?}: = urovidentially, perhaps =Bt murder e Frank Macy, the doubtful hero of this queer siary, was horn at Freeport, i © There are niany old residents {o that plaee wha sl recall him as a precoctous baby, a smart boy, and a clever youth. Freeport soon proved to be too small to satisfy his bulging genlvs, but even before he left his birthplace he made little exeursions from the paths of virtue which, in the boy, nré'so often prophetic®ot the man's career. When he reached man's estate he was tall and as straight as an Indian. He had coal-black hair and a sallow complexion, which lighted up brightly whenever he was {n a humor to be affable with his fellow-man. . - It was in Chicago that Frapk Macy

first distinguished himself in crime. A, . little more than a dozen years ago an’ advertisement appeared in the Chica. ‘go papers stating that ' a wealthy widow, about to take a long . trip abroad, was wiiling to sell her favorfte horse “Dobbin.” : After thé money had been paid, - and within 24 hours, Dobbin began to undergo a most curious transformation. What had been a magnificent gpecimen of horseflesh began td show strange signs of decrepitude. He shriveled up, as it were; it seems almost impossible to properly describe this marvelous transformation in mere words. It was necessary to be seen to be fully appreciated. Anyone who nas seen the tall, erect form of . Dr, Jekyl gradually sinking into the personality of the shapeless and miserable Mr. Hyde can get some faint glimmering idea of the change that occurred when the noble “Dobbin” became a spavined, knock-kneed and degenerate nag that would have made ~ an old street car horse blush for very .shame. The instance of the first Dobbin was duplicated, not once, but a dozen times, and after many of the wealthiest men of Chicago had been _ victimized the police began to ivesti‘gate. They were stimulated and as--gisted in their work by John E. Wilkie, who, at that time, was in charge “of the criminal department of one of the leading papers in Chicago. After a short time it was discovered that the “Gyp” game, as it was called, was ‘being worked by a gang of confidence men, headed by Frank Macy. A warTant for his arrest was issued, but be-

for it conld be served he had fod from the farisdiciion of the foeal court . The scene hos gßifts from Chleago to low's [FEsxchage In Trafslgar Square, London.

The change of attire and the assumed Name were susplelons and the Amert can lost no time In going to the tele. phone and ealling _up Frank Froest, one of the brightest detectives In SBcotland Yard, Wilkie told = Froest that it might be worth his while to

eome up to Low's apnd have ‘a4 look at the latest additfon to the American Adnvasion of London. : Froest followed the advice of his friend and took several looks at Lacy. He had him shadowed day and night, and ‘after a week’s work wias in poss#ssion of his history. He found, among other things, that Lacy had be come a card shark of the first water. He had traveled across the Atlantic

ocean in luxurious style and had made | his expenses and a-comfortable sum) hegides by gg;w cleverness with \\!‘.ivhi he playved the noble game of poker! with his fellow passengers.” On arriv- | ing in London, he established a gam- | bling house in the West End, where | he met with remarkable success. . | Not long after the meeting in Low's | Exchange all London became excited over what was called the “Cutlass ' Mystery.” It began when a well- | dressed,- elderly gentleman of consid- | erable wealth was found on the s}de«% walk with his head badly cut and the blood flowing from several saber | wounds. He said he had no recolleetion of how he came to be in such a plight, and resolutely declined to give the police any information upon the | subject. Two days later another man ! was found similarly wounded and in | the same condition. He was not asf close-mouthed as the first individual, | and went so far as to say that his misfortune was the result of a cnrdi party inewhich he had particlpa’tedi the previous night. He was unable, however, to give the locality of thel house, having been taken there by an obliging cabby whom he had sought with a request to be conveyed to some ] place where he could satisfy his desires to dally with the goddess of chance. In less than 24 hours from this time still another man was found with two saber cuts about his head, and then the “Cutlass Mystery” became the reigning sensation of London. ; : - The next chapter in the history of this curious rogue occurred at the lit-

tle watiring plsce of Margate. A ma stcal strument dealer of landon was tk ng his haliday at this resort and wus enjoving bMoeell In a manne BUL D B 8 3K ;.'- seibie only to- 8 Loodon tradermian.

He knew that Lacy was a fugi tive and he determined to have his revenge. He hurried to the nesrest telegraph office and wired to Scotland Yard that the man they sought could be found at Margate. - . Lacy immediately realized the mistake he had made and, learning the character of the telegram that Had been sent to Scotland Yard, made quick preparations for shortening liis vacation at the cozy seashore’ resort He acted with characteristic disregard of conventionalitles. He summoned a fisherman and hired him to take him out in a small boat, and hailed a Castle liner which was bound for South Africa. By the aid of a clever “cock and bull story” he induced the captain to take him aboard and before the Scotland Yard man reached Margate Lacy ‘was calmly salling the sea on his way to Cape Town. . Superintendent Froest immediately telegraphed to the authorities at Cape Town, describing Lacy, and instructing them to apprehend the man on his arrival at that port. l.acy managed to get ashore and strolled about the African city, admiring the botanic gar dens and the astronomical obseryatory with the. enthusiasm of a tourist whose only desire s to profitably while away an idle hour. He was inspecting the fine new docks of the place when the agent of Scotland Yard clapped his hand on his shoulder and placed him under arrest. Lacy submitted with perfect good grace and was formally lodged in jail at Cape ‘Town. Arrangements were made to have him returned to Eugland the folowisgdny. = ’ But, alas! his satisfaction was premature, for the daring Lacy jumped off the train while it was in motion and disappeared in the depths of a South African forest. - The officer had the train stopped at the next station and, with the assistance ¢f several other men, made a search of the

SBuperintendént Froest, who was always o 5 the Inokont tor queer characters, learned Ihat Tracy-—-as he now called himself ~was in London 24 hours after he Bad set hiz feet on English soll. -He in strocted his subordinates to be on the iookout for Traey, but otherwise did not give much thousht 1o the man Oue morning the teiephone bell at Scotlangd Yard rang and the voice of an excifed individadl, who proved to he a clerk.in a bhanking house near Lasdenhiall street, {nformed the autharities that a'tidef had fhtered the institution tha! marning and ribibed one of s depositors of £3OO. There was much excilenient: a crowd bad gathered in the corridors, and in the confusion the thief had escaped with e money PPardon me” sald the stranger, “but aou have dropped one of your The depositor glanced at the floor on the other glde of the desk s\nzf. sure enoueh. there was a bank note Thank you,” he renlicd gratolully, and stooped down fo pick up the odd rute. The dct oply consumed two or three seconds, but when the depositor strafghtened vup and was about to add the misging note to his pile he found, tc bis amazement, that the original package of money had gone, and with it the stranger. He gave the alarm and rushed out of the bank, but when he reached the street the crowd was so great that it was {mpossible to find his nwan. L . , When Superintendent Froest re cetved news of the theft, he immediately dispatched one of his men to the bank, but, not satisfied with this, he resolved to go there in person as soon as he had finished the work in his private office at Scotland Yard. That only consumed a few minutes, and at' {ts completion Mr. - Froest pulled down the top of his rolldesk and ~ hurrivd towards Leadenball street. At Oldgate, where Corphill and Leadenhall street converge, he saw a tall, well-dressed man, hurrying along amidst the crowd. It did not take him many seconds to recognize the man as his old friend, the versatile rogue, who had lived successively under the titles of Frank Macy, Frank Lacy and Frank Tracy. Instinctively the superintendent associated the fel. low with ‘the theft of the bank in Leadenhall street. He walked up and took Tracy by the arm. “My dear friend,” he sald, "1 would like you to go down to the office with me and have a talk over old times.” Tracy made no resistance—indeed, this was characteristic of the man. The moment an officer of the law touched him- he surrendered without a struggle. The two men procéeded to Scotland Yard and Tracy, when searched, was found to possess the '£2oo which had been stolen from the depositor in the bank that morning. He was tried for that offense, convicted and served his time, < The versatile rogue is at liberty once again, and for the time being is honoring the United States with his presence. This brief sketch is not offered as a story of his life. It is onyl what it purports to be—a fragment from the Ilife of a versatile rogue. : ’ i ~ (Copyright, 138, by W, G. Chapmam)

ASPERSION ON THE SECRETARY

Serious Auditor Misinterpreted the Vivacity of Bonaparte. - ' Charles J. Bonaparte, attorney general of the United States, was presiding at a meeting of the civic reform league in New York, May, 1905, where & sequence dti long, dull papers were presented. Between papers Mr. Bonaparte would arouse the jaded interest of the sudience with humorous references and jokes. Each was punctuated with a vivacity of manner that ln—i dicated his French ancestry. 2 But—and here hangs the story-——i there was one in the audience to whom { Mr. Bonaparte’s name and work were unknown, who contemplated these mannerisms with growing disapproval. He was a sgrious minded, be-spec tacled man, tall and spare; with a vagrant wisp of gray hair rising from s much rubbed and wrinkled forehead, and who seemed deeply interested in the overly dull papers until Mr. Bonaparte began to enliven the duliness, when his whole attention was di ?
