LATEST SCHEME IS
THE "PHONY GRIP

No matter how vigiiant the off,
GERS Of the law are. there are jrst
as clever minds among the Grim
inais awaiting q chance To circum-
vent justice. II Is a well known
fact that many criminals could be
rich II they would use their inventive
faculties 10 a more lawful advan-
tage- Some Of the schemes resorted
20 at times are absolutely startling
in their ingenuity.
One Of the latest on record has
been known In Seattle for several
months. II r. known among the off,
GERS as the 'phony grip" trick. The
authors and inventors are said 70 be
three men who were liberated from
prison In California some time ago.
The "pheny grip trick is worked
as follows The criminal usually
seeks a depot or waiting room az the
scene " operations There are
usually two and sometimes three
men in the game. A stranger who
looks good il picked out as the. vic
tim OF course the victim must be
carrying a grip. One Of the men
engages him in conversation and
under some spretcxt induces him to
aet his grip on the floor. This is
exactly what the thieves are walt
INK for No sooner does the inno-
cent drop his grip than the CONVEX
sation In made more interesting.
Then one Of the thieves who also
carries a large grip sets his down

are Kept In pouch easy Of access
whenever the appetite demands food.
The dates are the main article Of
sustenance 81 the pilgrims. and they
are given their sweet. rich flavor by
the hot. suffucatinR wind called the
somoum. which ripens them and
brings out the nenrishinE Juice.
while these winds help to provide
food for the wayfarerA. they are also
the worst enemy the pilgrims have.
They blow with incouccixnbie speed
and violence. turning the desert into
tossing sea Of biilowy clouds Of
sand. 80 that II looks like an angry
yellow ocean. The Arabs smell the
approaching storm and throw them
selves on their stomache on the
ground and cover themselves with
their noatrila until the storm Is past,
but the foreign pilgrims, iuepe4ienc-
ID IN these storms. often lose their
lives. not knowing how 60 protect
themselves.
At night, when the sun 10 aot, the
drivers begin 20 sing, mingling the
chant with words OF prayer. Ever
and anon one hears an original song
set 10 the music OF tho desert. wild

tuneiess solitude from whose heart II
would seem to spring-B song that
breaks through melody and adda It's
tamcieas burden to the music Of tho
spheres.
The surrounding hills catch the in
tonatlon az the drivers wave their
arms IN accompaniment 10 the chant
and echo and rc-echo the words.
And when the tent is pitched for
the first night on the plain OF Mecca
the pilgrims spend all it, hours IN
song and prayers Of worship. The
pilgrims who reach Mecca early live
In houses. but Mecca Us city OF
tents. for soon its narrow streets are
hiiied with pilgrims seeking quarters
and the late corners must pitch their
tents outside IN the opcp plaln more
In company with the stars than with
the life Of the city where they would
worship.
Sometimes the poorer pilgrims
from far-un lands are too poor To
have tents and sleep like cattle upon
the ground, but they worship with
the Hame devotion as the rich gram
dee who Tolls in his tent Of luxury
and dreams Of ease and knows
nothing OF the aufferinRs Of these
wrotehes so near him drawn there
