forty years. When she was child, liv-
ing on the east side Of town. she was
q pickpocket. Her father. Sam Levy,
was one of the pets of old Mother Man
delbaum, who kept the biggest fence
this country has ever known. Sam was
a householder of eminence. His wife,
Sophie's mother was shoSifter of
skill. From infancy Sophie mingled
with thieves Of all shades. Her baby
ears drank in the plottings of despera-
does. Her childish ideal Of a fine joke
was a story about the ease with which
a certain house was robbed, the amount
of plunder carried away or the sandbag-
giny of the house owner.
She was picking pockets before she was
10 years old. Since then there have been
few breaks in her criminal career and
strangely enough, very little of her time
has been spent in prison.
HER VANDERBILT HAND
The New York detectives say that So
phie Lyons is the cleverest pickpocket
the world over. Her skill Is so mar
velous that it seems akin to the work
of magicians. Her right hand, the hand
that accomplishes these wonders, is long,
slender and as pliable as professional
pianist's. The fingers taper beautifully,
but they can bend and twist like pieces
of India rubber. How many pockets
they have slipped into during the past
four decades will never be known. So
phie lost track of the number long ago.

when it reaches the ears 1t sounds like
the roaring of a gale of wind at sea-
Tapping the disc lightly with the fing-

A thorough explanation Of the ancient
methods of fighting and subduing invet-
crate diseases by eminent scientists who
have been recognized as such by indis-

have been constantly practiced in Ca

One of the most interesting chapters
in DR.. Foo's book is devoted to the unso-
ncited testimonials of number Of gratep
full patients who have been restored to
perfect health under his experienced
treatment.
In these testimonials Dr. Foo's skill is
emphatically confirmed by people whose
regulations are above suspicion, and he
therefore invites investigation Of his
methods and theories. This evidence was
furnished by people who sought his skill
without any form of solicitation.
DR.. Foo is constantly sought after by
a class of persons whose business exper-
ience. common sense, honor and respec-
liability are equal to that of the best
society found anywhere. In his book
he respectfully presents to the public the
following voluntary opinions of his skill

does he give you Latin prescription.
He has no time to manufacture or hunt
