The Way Criminals Work, as Told by

"Tha gang idea as appli 20 Grim
finals is a ridiculous blunder, says in
experienced detective. There are no
such things, except in story books.
SAFE burglars generally work In
parties of three, but that is because
three are necessary-two to manipu-
late the drill and tools and one to keep
watch. Whenever 1t is possible for a
burglar to crack a crib single-handed.
he Is certain to go alone. 1t is the
same with all other thieves.
sYou read of a gang Of pickpock-
cts descending or some race meeting
But this is utterly wrong. Pickpock-
cts may work in pairs, but never In
gangs. The detective novel theory is
that criminals are organized into great
societies, with regular heads and cast
iron laws and bylaws. to violate which
means sudden and mysterious death.
"That is all rubbish. If such an or
ganization were formed the police
would know 1t In ten minutes after the
first meeting adjourned. One of the
things which keep thieves apart ~
their horrible treachery. l have been

fury and ! never knew a single thief
who would not betray his companions

The flag and coat of arms of the
United States are not quite a century
and a quarter old. Bpt although the
banner represents the youngest of the
great nations it is nevertheless II of
the most venerable among the nation
gress on June IA, 1777, and is there
fore older than any of the flags of the
principal European governments
namely, that of France, adopted in
1894: Spain. 1856: the German empire,
in 1870; Italy, in 1848; Portugal, in
1880, and that of Great Britain, which
merely dates from 1901.
1t has frequently been asserted that
the nation is indebted to an English
baronet for the suggestion Of the de-
vice which has been adopted as it's
national coat of arms. The story is
that Sir John Prestwich, Bart, claim
ed that he suggested the coat of arms
for the American states to an ambas-
sador from there. which the states
have pat upon some of their moneys.
1t is this: Party per pale of thirteen
stripes, white and red, the chief of
the escutcheon blue. signifying the
protection of heaven over the states,
which so pleased the Americans that
1t was o after adopted as the arms
of the states" Prestwich was a
Lancashire gentleman and an antiqu-
uary of some note. He was a partic-
ular friend Of John Adams and there
is no doubt that he had the opportun-
ity of suggesting the device. 1t Is

Mr.. Howells is always gracious, and
always particularly gracious to young
men who love letters. Therefore he
listened patiently to the first sonnet.
1t was execrable. The writer of such
doggerel could not but be hopeless.
"The second sonnet is the better OF
the two" Mr.. Howells said firmly, and
he refused to listen 10 it. Pleading an
engagement, he asked the young man
to excuse him. THE second sonnet II

Pole drew revolver from his hip pock-
ct and looked at it, turning the cylin-
der with deft thumb.
you mean, Baker, But Craig's
words remained unborn in his bewil-
dered brain. The rigor Of death itself
seemed to have beset his tongue. A
cold sweat broke out on him.
II mean that I've tuck the trouble
to fetch you heer fer purpose, Mr..
Craig. an thar amt any use in beatin'
about the bush to git at it,
Craig made another effort at utter
ance, but failed. Pole could hear his
rapid breathing and see the terrified
cleaning Of his wide open eyes.

"But-why?' The words formed the
beginning and the end of gasp.
Pole lowered over him, the revolver
IN his tense hand.

That man you've robbed Of every dol

amount is $4,000 to a cent"

IN moment Craig heard him strike 3
match and saw the red, growing fame
of a sputtering torch from which
twisted rope of smoke. When it was
we'll ablaze, Pole called up the ladder:
"Come on now, an watch whar YOU
put yore feet. This end O. the ladder is
solid as the rock O. Gibralty' -
The square" of daylight above was
cut off, and in a moment the ex-banker
stood beside his guide.
'Now come down this way" said
Pole, and with the torch held high he
led the way into a part of the chamber
where the rock overhead sloped down
lower. Here lay some old whisky bar
rels, two or three lager beer kegs and
the iron hoops Of several barrels that
had been burned. There were several
one gallon jugs with corncob shoppers.
Pole swept his hand over them with a
laugh. If you was a drinkin' man, I
could treat you to thimbleful or two
left in them jugs" he said almost apol-
ogetically.
But don't drink, Baker," Craig
said. His premonition Of danger seemed
to have returned to him and to be driv-
en- in by the dank GOODNESS Of the cav
ern. the evidence of past outlawry
around him.
Pole heaped his pieces of pine against
rock and added to them the chunks
of some barrel slaves, which set up a
lively popping sound like tiny fusil-
lade Of artillery.
''You see that rock behind you, Mr..
Craig" asked Pole. "Well, set down
on it. Before we go any furder me n
you've got to have a understanding"
The old man stared hesitatingly for
an instant, and then, after carefully
feeling of the stone, he complied.
II thought we already-but, of course"
he said haltingly,, 'I'm ready to agree
to anything that IL make you feel safe"

KAVANAUGH'S VISIT
 MAY SETTLE LOCAL FIGHT
League President Proposes New Plan, But Says
 Palmer and Dinkin's Report will Not Stand.

Among the passengers on, the south bound Louisville and Nashville train that reached Montgomery at Il o'clock yester- day morning was Judge William Kava- naugh, President of the Southern League.
 The misison of the league president to Montgomery was of course to try and straighten out the tangled snarl which has enmeshed the Montgomery baseball franchise. While he was unsuccessful in untying the knot entirely. still he pro- posed plan by which 1t looks to be certain that there will be an early ter imitation and settlement of the long local war. He thoroughly investigated the local situation, going out to the Highland Park ball grounds with General Manager Semmes of the Montgomery Street Rail- way and to Pickett Springs with Presi- dent Ragland of the Traction Company One of the first statements that MT. kavanaugh made yesterday morning was that the report sent in and signed by Messrs Palmer and Dinkins was not only illegal. but would not even be considered. Continuing he said that MT. Dinkins was most assuredly ineligible to serve as a member of the arbitration committee. Speaking of Mir. Palmers recent visit to Montgomery, Judge Kavanaugh said: q received telegram from MT. Palmer ad-
