o'clock this morning. The building is
surrounded by tenements of equal
height, and as a precautionary measure
three alarms were sounded.
A man rushed through Attorney street
calling "Fire!" at every step. and
warned Policeman Downes. who sent
in tie first alarm. Flames had been
seen coming through the basement door,
from the workshop Of Abraham Flelsch-

The flames were shooting up an air

Two more alarms were quickly sounded,
Considerable trouble was experienced

building. but. when that was done the
fire was quickly under control.

THE BANKERS ARREST.
Burglar Billy H0Ven's C1eVer Coup Which
Won Him o. FOTtaLne.

Billy Haven was no ordinary burglar.
His theory was that If a man wished to
make u success of his profession he
needed to use his brain rather han his
muscle. 1t was all right enough when
starting ont TO commit a burglary to take
Il knife with You, or a loaded club or a
pistol, but Billy claimed that the doing

by the noisy entrance of a thief through
the Kitchen window. but bludgconing
Billy looked upon as clumsy and unneces-
sary. The consequence was that Billy,
by strict attention to business and the
sndeavcr 10 please customers, soon began
to build up 70: himself an enviable
reputation aIaong the police. They never
caught sight of Billy or his pals, but
they called him among themselves Billy
Haven. out OF respect for the memory Of
q detective Of that name, who was
especially good at tracking crimes of a
k'hd whose origm was obscure, and the
cue 10 which was not visible. They said
among themselves. when their attention
was first directed to the kind OF burglary

they drifted on. never getting q sight
Of the burglar, until the crimes were
called Billy Haven's jobs, and finally the
unknown cracksman came to be called
Billy Haven.
AS a general thing, where Billy Haven
was at work. the inmates of the house
never knew a robbery had been COM
mitted until next morning. Billy and
his gang left almost no trace of their
visit except the disappearance of the
most valuable things In the residence.
At last these neat burglaries ceased
and there were no traces of Billy for
years. II is probable hat the authorities
would IA known any particulars

Billy, 1t seems. had long looked with

II was entirely surrounded by a high
brick wall, n Billy felt that II he and

and was informed that he was in the
dr~awing-room. He then asked that he
and the officers might be shown there
without being announced.
Mr.. Slider was sitting In an easy chair
| surrounded by his family. He turned his
head round when the door opened with
out the customary knock, and when he
saw the uniform OF the inspector a ghast-
~ pallor came over his face. Before the
inspector could speak he held ont his

The pale woman and her frightened

pals entered the house II would be by

family had not retired to rest.
Billy's plans. when matured, were very
simple. He obtained the costume Of a

"Open all OF the bags said Billy,

The banker drew a deep breath OF re-

entrance into the house at about 9
o'clock In the evening, In perfect legal
form: the inspector was to arrest Mr..
nant. but the conspiiators expected that
the respect a banker has for the forms
Of law at least insured submission under
protest. and while the inspector stood
guard over the arrested man. two OF the
alleged policemen were to be posted so
that no one could leave the house. even
IL Mr. Slider wanted to send n messen-
ger away, which was not likely, because
OF his certainty that this was a mistake
which could easily lie cleared up. The
other two alleged policemen could then
search the house under the protection OF
a bogus search warrant, and quietly Sc
crete all the valuables and money that
they could lay their hands on. The In
spector then intended to tell Mr.. Slider
that. because of his protests, he would
not take him TO jail. but that he must
understand hat he was under arrest,
and that he might have to report to the
head officer when called upon TO do so.
Billy imagined that the time which must
intervene before the news OF the I'M

would give him all the opportunity he
wanted to cover his tracks and secrete
his spoil.
This plan worked admirably up to a

were treated TO a st~upefylng surprise.
