The Crook in Summer Quarters.
The Now York San reporter. VINO en-
Joys the confidence of the boss crook,
had occasion recently to go to Pough.
keepsie. As he emerged from the sta
ton he saw, to his surprise, the boss
crook on the opposite side of the street.
The recognition was mutual. and the.
reporter looked up and down the street
for the assistant crook.
''You won't lind him here" said the
boss crook. He's doing the seaside
resorts and I'm working inland. When
We need a change, I'll take the seaside
and he the rurals. But l am not in
any hurry. This is paradise.
He looked prosperous. A brand new
Mackinaw hat. with polka-dot band.
was set jauntily on one side Of his head;
he wore trig suit of Canada gray and
laced patent leather pumps. Moreover
he was smoking a very fragrant Ha-
vana. 'Get them up from New York
Y the hundred. he said. rs he held
ut q handsome cigar case to the re-
porter.
''Yes," he added. to emphasize his
tribute to Poughkeepsie, ''this is para
disc, assure you"
'.How's that?" asked the reporter.
There may be plenty of country green
horns here, but they're at home and no
good to you. -
my dear fellow" WAS the deprecat-
ing reply. Il don't operate on the ma
tives; / operate on New Workers.
s'You don't mean New Workers who
pass through here on their way to sum-
mer resorts. or New Workers who are
summering in the neighborhood?'
mo, don't. mean New Yorkers
who stay in New York. I've got line
that can play from here and have the
hook and bait wriggling in the city.
Plenty of fools rise to it. One fool rose
to it day before yesterday and took the
hook so well that expect TO land him
here this evening--land him right here
mind you. never expected to see yOu
come out of the depot when that train
arrived. Twas expecting a highly re-
spectacle elderly gentleman-one of
those gentlemen who admire the art Of
motion as expressed in the ballet. BY
the by," he said hesitatingly and with
some reluctance, you're not the fellow
who sent a note enclosing $40 bill up
this way addressed to 'Eloise, are you?
Because if you are Here he funl-
bled in his vest pocket, as if looking for
q bill.
The reporter cOurtcOusly suggested
that in this instance the boss crook was
q fool.
''Well, l guess am,' he said. ''On-
ly you ought not to put it quite SO
strongly. I'm entitled to considerable
courtesy. am not the same person
you saw about ten days ago in New
York. I'm a young lady who has just
graduated from Vassar. and seeks the
acquaintance of an honorable gentle
man who will assist her in preparing
for the STAGE"
.'Oh, you're 'Eloise?'"
you've just hit it. And being Elo-
ise is very remunerative. By the way,
did YOU ever see mep" He whisked
half q dozen photographs of jaunty
young blonde out of his pocket.
..Pretty, isn't she? I've sent half
dozen Of them off to New York in the
last two days. They always fetch the
car fare to enable .Eloise' to 60 to New
York and have an interview with the
party who is willing to assist her to en-
ter upon histrionic career. The NUM-
Der OF generous, open hearted lovers OF
the art Of acting is truly wonderful
But what Of the ancient you are ex-
pecting this eveningP" interrupted the
reporter.
'.Well, he is q rare one. He sent q
SO bill for 'Eloise' to invest in bon
bons and ice-cream, and wrote that
he'd be up to-day to have q chat with
her at the station between his arrival
and the afternoon express down. Ira
ther thought he'd be up on your train.
but think he's on the express that's
whistling now"
A moment later the express glided
into the station. Gradually those who
had arrived dispersed. When all was
quiet there emerged from the station
door an old man, slight in figure. with
narrow shoulders and head. He wore
gold trimmed spectacles, and sucked
the head of q gold-knobbed cane. He
looked around with eager expectation.
A country girl had drawn up to the
curb opposite in gig. The old man
took second pair of spectacles out OF
a case, adjusted them over the first,
and stared so hard at the girl that she
noticed him, and gave an impatient toss
of the head. The old fellow evidently
took it as a signal, as he started to
cross the street straight towards her.
But he had not gone very far before she
made her whip crack in a manner that
brought him to a standstill so suddenly
that the jar sent his hat flying of. A
glistening pate reflected the glory OF
the evening sun. He was discounted.
and BY the time he had picked up bis
hat the gig was rattling around the
corner. He grew very red in the face.
| and as he turned to re-enter the station
his lips moved rapidly.
Il bet he'll be caught again." the
boss crook said. ''My assistant may
