FAIR WOMEN SLEUTHS
IN THE TENDERLO|N
Capt. Cottrell Introduces an Innova-
ton, and There Is Considerable Mys-
terry as to Why He Is Using This
New Class of Detectives.

Tales OF graft" In the Tenderaoin
have boon rife for soms time, but no
charges have been mrde on this score
against any OF the policemen there.
That thsre 10 ofiotai recognition OF
these conditions. however. han bssn
made evident by conversations with
officials Of the Tenderlodn OF the
headquarters foroe. A man who OFTEN
represents the Police Commissioner was
in mo Tenderloin all one afternoon and
night recently. and met Capt. Cottrsil
and tina latter's most trusted men SOW
sral dimes. holding conferences with
them at places remote from the sta
ton, 30 wahioh he DID not go during
his tour.
Three Detectives Are Transferred.
Three men who have been doing de-
tective duty at the Tenderloin Station
have been transferred They are what is
known as "nve-day men" These are
detailed 10 precincts other than their
own for five day periods. at the request
OF the commander OF the precinct TO
which they are sent. At the end OF the
Ave days they are continued IL a new
request is made. Harry p. White and
William O'Brien, men OF this ohara oter.
have been sent to the East Tw enty-hfth
Street Station.
One OF their periods OF I'VE days s1-
pirsd yesterday. and nc request was
made for their further detail at the
Tenderloln Station. The fve-day period
OF William Reich expires to-day. and
Capt. Cottrell says he will go TO the
East sixty-seventh Street Station.
Those men were becoming too well
known in this precinct. and their value
rs detectives was diminished thereby"
was Capt. Cottrell's explanation.

"Well spoken" said Hassan.
They were soon ready to start. Tne

guisbed In the bazaars. The coffee
houses alone showed signs Of life. The
merchant accompanied Hassan to the
wharf and on board his vessel. He lee
them to the cabin and offered wine.
Biartelkis sat in the cabin and nii

Hassan put aside his ordinary gar.
ments and replaced them with his best,
which he always wore to the bazaars.
He bade Hafiz adieu and walked away.
Ignatz Biartelkis was about to close
his bazaar when the well known figure
of Hassan walked In.

8HiD amined his goods when Hafl2
Effendi led Milk, the agent Of the
ameer, to a seat at the farther end OF
the Persian divan and purchased to-
bacco and pipes. taking one himself
and filling the other for Milk.
"Sit where you are, watching ut all
times the door Of the large linen bazaar
opposite" said Ha1z when the pipes
were smoking satisfactorily. There
you will see-what you will see."
Milk kept his eyes on the object
spoken Of by the Turk. The linen ba'
zaar was larger, cleaner, better equip
ped and gave more evidence Of pros.
perity than any other portion Of the
fair within sight. Bales Of finest linen
were displayed. Near the end Of long
table could be seen an elderly merchant
in Georgian costume watching his sew
eral employees handle and sell bis
goods.
THAT. my friend from Bokhara,"
said Hafiz, "is Ignatz Biartelkis, the
richest merchant in Tiflis."
"And will he supply that for which

"He will"
Good. Why do we not 60 to him In
stead Of sitting idly here?'
"For the excellent reason, my friend,
that he does not know he is going to
perform this generous act"
Milk shock his head again. He did
not understand this slow and laborious
method. His way, the way of his peo-
pie. would have been to attack Tifis
and take what was wanted. Milk had
not yet learned the power Of the arm
that reaches from st. Petersburg to
the Caspian. Suddenly he started from
his seat.
"Cursesw said Hafiz. "You will be
shot, and you will have me shot by
the Muscovite. There he is."
"There she isp' said Milk breath

The Turk opened his eyes wide. as II
in astonishment. "Who could have
asked more2 Is there not enough?" he
asked, gazing at pretty Circassian
who passed with soldier.
"Yes, it seems enough; only rsmem-
ber," said Orskoff, walking Of With
scant courtesy.
Pigs! Dogs! These Muscovites are
unbearable!" growled Hafiz.
He left the busy portion Of the fair,
went to the baths, returned to the ba-
zaar kept by his friend Muley and re-
sumed his pipe. The passing show
seemed endless. officers in brilliant
uniforms, merchants, women of every
degree, crowded the thoroughfares.
The reverie of Hafiz was interrupted.
How is the day? Does the sun shine
full upon thee. O Hafz EffendiT' ask
ed a soft voice at his side. He beheld
a warrior Of some peculiar race, dark
skinned and gayly uniformed.
"Ah, hast thou come, o Mizfkf The
day is we'll. The sun never fails to
shine upon the faithful" replied Haf1z.
ut is so. o wise and mighty Hafiz."
"And how is my friend, the great and
heaven born ameer of Bokhara = asked
Hafiz.
"Our lord is well. but he is growing
impatient that thy mission has not
vet been fulfilled. 1t was told to me
in the sacred precincts Of the palace
to come to Tiflis, seek out Hafiz Ell
fendi and ascertain If he has found
what the ameer wishes"

"For the bride Of our young Prince

ut is true. and have found the
young woman. But the accursed Mus
covitc ruler has made new law which
prohibits the sale Of the women. We
must work slowly and with caution"
"Then is the thing that is so near

have the most beautiful bride In the
world, an impossibility"

Hafiz led the way to coffee house.
where they resumed their chat.
"While you are in Tiflis look not up
on the women" said Hafiz. "The Mus
covite emperor has made this new law
and there are soldiers to spy upon us
and compel US to obey. 1t is absurd,
for these women are happier when In
the luxury their Osmanli husbands
give them than with these pigs and

"Ah. then you are choosing that beau

"She is chosen. Hold thy tongue and

And Milk. thinking hard upon this
new law, followed his guide from the

eyes are not now turned this way, but
hold yourself with calmness. Orskoff
knows things when he sees them"
At that moment the officer mention
ed, who had been sauntering along the
crowded street, stopped to speak to
girl who had come to the door OF the
bazaar Of Ignatz Biartelkis. She was
a girl who would cause others than
Milk to stare. Her complexion was
like the blush of a peach. Her eyes
were black and shaded with long, silky
lashes. Her hair was long and fell In
q raven food below her waist. She
wore tall, bejeweled headdress that
made her seem almost statuesque.
From her shoulders a long, elegant
covering Of lace barely hid a gown
that might have come from Paris. On
her feet were tiny patent leather shoes
from the bazaar of the Jewish trader
two doors away. Upon her fingers were
various rings-diamonds, rubies and
sapphires. Jeweled bracelets were up
on her wrists. Her form was elegance
endowed with human life. The COM
bination Of the modern and the charac-
teristic dress Of her people made so
charming a tout ensemble that all who
passed the bazaar paused to gaze at
the girl.
"Would that one content the mighty
prince of Bokhara?" asked Hafiz slyly.
would she? She Is fit for the wife
of a ruler of gods! Who is she?"
THAT, my friend, is the daughter Of
Ignatz Biartelkis."
"Her name"
"Koura."
"sons of heaven! Would he part
with herT'
Rather with his life"
"Then of what avail Is all our talk?"
Hafz noted the detected look on
Mizik's face.
my friend, thou art not experienced
in the world" he said. Il have spoken.
That is to be the wife of the son Of the
ameer."
Our heaven born lord will load you
with the jewels Of the EARTH"
Il intend that he shall. 1t is for no
small amount that take this risk.
Look the other way. The accursed
Orskoff Is turning"
AS the handsome soldier moved away
the girl smiled archly at him, and he
saluted her in courtly fashion.
II will drink his blood" muttered
Milk.
"Be careful. my friend, that he does
not drink yours" said Hafiz. "That
man knows how to fight. His sword
is no stranger to the hearts Of his enc
mics. Come, let us move along. do
not wish to be seen too long opposite
that bazaar. There will be a stir when
the thing is known"
Again they went to the kahve kept
by the brother Of Hafiz.
LET us, my friend, talk over this
matter" said the Turk after ordering
coffee.
81 came for that" said Milk shortly.
81 do not need to ask that your
mouth be kept shut" said Hafiz. "lf
our purpose were known, 1t is possible
that the great ruler of all the tribes of
the Caucasus would send his armies to
sweep your people from Bokhara."
