JY THE MYSTERIOUS MIR. RAFFLES.

Here is a pointer in this game which
every one interested in my capture
mind.
In every place where I have oper-
ated there are always to be found a
number of petty larceny grafters who
take advantage of my presence in
order to advertise their places of busi-
ness. This same sort of thing has
already cropped up here, and in order
that those who are conscientiously en-
deavoring to win the reward of one
thousand offered for my capture, I
want to sound this note of warning at
this time, in order that all may be
protected from this particular brand of
illegitimate advertisers.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE WILL

ANY PLACE OF BUSINESS OR

LESS 1 MYSELF ADVERTISE THE
FACT THOROUGHLY, THROUGH
THE COLUMNS OF THE LOS AN
GELES HERALD.
If you happen to see signs placed in
front of cheap restaurants, or other
places for that matter, which declare
in large pasty letters that 1 am to be
there at any particular time-JUST
FORGET IT-otherwise YOU WILL
BE STUNG-AND STUNG GOOD
AND HARD.
Cadges Free Advertising
When / get ready to take any special
chance with the sleuths who are now
camped on my trail 1 will be more
than willing to advise you Of the fact
through the medium of the Los An
geles Herald. 1 am telling you this,
as in passing along one of your busiest
streets 1 noticed yesterday that GER
tain restaurant keeper of the lone up"
variety had large poster in front of
his establishment, which announced 1
would call there between noon and 1
o'clock.
AS a result of this announcement this
particular Gink managed to hold a
fairly good-sized proportion of those
who otherwise might have had an op-
portunity of joining in the real chase.
The same thing happened in Chi
cago. A certain chap insisted on an
nouncing my presence at his lunch
announced my inteption of really going
in the place between a certain hour.
The result of this announcement meant
the complete destruction of his place,
as I placed a crowd of nearly fifteen
thousand people in the immediate vicin-
ity of the lunch room, with the result
that by the time the hour was up Mr..
Smart Aleck was practically out of
business.
Game Grows Warmer
This game will prove a hot one in
few days. and l see, probably better
than any one else, the possibilities for
the future. / am now working along
certain we'll defined lines, and when 1
really start to GET BUSY in this place
there will be considerable doing-of
which several WISE PERSONS in this
town at the present time know nothing.
In so far as my immediate capture is
concerned. l am not bothering about
that end of the game in the least. My
previous experience has taught me, and
it Is proven now, that the masses start
in precisely the same manner after
me, no matter where the game is pre-
sented.
To those who think I am taking
chances at the present time, all / can
say is-"Wait a bit" until there is
some chance for real action. My tour
of the town yesterday, for instance,
was nothing more or less than child's
play compared to what / know will
me before any of those on my
wise sufficient to really cause
I' inconvenience.
