Continued from Pare one)
"regulars," TO do today: Get around
to The Herald office between the noon
hour and DON'T FAIL TO TACKLE
EVERY sMOoTH-FACED MAN YOU
HAPPEN ACROSS. I will be there
in a rig. which will make it hard for
you to recognize me; that is why I
don't want you to overlook any
chances.
Easy for Women
I will make this game easy for
every woman who cares to take the
chance. All you have to do in the
event of spotting me is to give me the
salutation quietly, then leave the rest
to me and you will discover that 1
have way all my own of getting you
in safety through the crowd and into
The Herald office before anyone else
is any the wiser.
If I should happen by any hook or
crook to get through the noon hour
crowd I will continue to trail along
Broadway until 4 o'clock in the after
noon-anything at all, just so you. get
busy and end this chase.
Out at Burcls Golden tract yester-
day afternoon I had no trouble in
evading capture. The sleuths there
seemed to think I was hidden in the
grass, as I noticed many looking at
the ground as though expecting to sud-
denly root me out from some hiding
place.
1 went out to Burck's Golden tract
on San Pedro car No 1856, in charge
of conductor No. 662, with whom I
rode as far as F'ifty-third and Ver-
mont avenue. Seated directly in front
of me in the rear of the car was a
accompanied by lady dressed in dark
gray. This chap asked the conductor
where Fifty-fourth street was, to
which No. 662 answered inquiringly:
(which Fifty-fourth street do you
mean--you know there are two of
Them
Wants RaffIes' Place
'T mean the place where Raffles is
to be this afternoon" answered the
passenger, as he tightly clutched a
Herald around which he had taken the
precaution to place a rubber band.
"Oh, you mean the one out this
way" answered No. 662 cts about
q mile farther out"
/ left the car at Fifty-third strset
and I noticed that the smooth-faced
chap and his companion left the car
at the next corner. AS I really am
seriously contemplating the absorp-
tion of several building lots in this
city before my departure I went over
Burck's Golden tract with pretty
keen eye to business 1t strikes mo
that as an investment property in that
section of the city should merit close
attention, and as soon as have the
opportunity of talking business with
Walter Hoff Seely, manager of the
real estate and investment department
of Burck-Gwynn company, owners of
the tract. I will call upon him at his
office, log South Broadway, and see
what can do in a business way.
went all the way from Vermont
back to Redondo avenue and then cut
across to Slauson avenue, where after
working around with the sleuths for
upward of an hour I finally took Re-
dondo car No. 16 riding with con-
ductor No. II back down town.
That's all, good people. If there IS
anything more you would like me TO
do for you just step up with your hair
nicely combed and tell me all about it.
Don't forget there is one thousand
for you if you keep your alarm clock
wound up tight.
Here's hoping some one gets the
money today.
