Col. Chapman had two hand
some stuffed elk on HIS veranda

1t occurred to Col. Filcher that
California ought to welcome the

more than Col. Chapman needed
So he casually instructed r. L.

need and bring our elk over from
the Chehalis building"
Col. Chapman arrived at his of.
flee about half an hour after -four

California building. where Col
Filcher, Mr.. Leak, Harry Lane o.
Alameda, Tom Scadden of Gras.
Valley and Harry Speas of Sacra
mento, were exulting over theil
capture.
1t took a great deal of persua
sion to make Col. Chapman see the
joke, but in the end he left the
elk on the California building yer
anda for the day.

Titled ''Raffles,"
Is All Europe's Sensation
Festitics,
By PHI Sims.

PARIS, July ga man named
Hornung once wrote clever story
about a gentleman burglar whom
he called Raffies. Many people
thought the story improbable. But
here is a story harder to believe
than the one Hornung wrote. And
this story is true. The French
police have the ugly proofs.
Andor Festatics. a count of the
Austrian empire, a son of the for
mer minister of agriculture of that
nation. is the man the police call
Raffies. Count Andor Is scholar,
a gentleman, a Beau Brummel, a
former army officer, a good fellow.
a lion of the drawing room, skilled
in conversation. and dancing, and
cards, master of every art by which
smiles are won-and hearts.
There was CONSERVATION reach
ing around Europe when the news
went forth that Count Andor Fes-
tetics had been arrested as a COM
mon thief. Fine ladies grew pale
and sighed, and at first wouldn t
believe.
But few men who had known
Count Andor in the Austrian army
weren't surprised. In the secrecy
of the officers mess of the regi-
ment ugly tales had been whisper
ed. The count was an excellent
player of cards-too excellent, by
far.
There had been a startling dis
closure one night, an ace and a
king in his ruffied sleeve. White
faced, he had begged for mercy.
And they let him resign without
open scandal. He roamed through
Europe and began to steal. He had
the entry into clubs and society.
Costly treasures were left exposed
before him without question. He
made the most of his, opportunity.
Quick-fingered, he stole from
ladies boudoirs. He lifted jewels
from their cases. He would stroll
with men friends, his deft, diabol-
ically clever fingers busy in his
friends pockets.
When times were good Count
Andor Festetics would have no
traffic with any but the most valu-
able things. But when times were
harder, nothing was too small for
his needs.
He organized a gang-a won
derful collection of the sharpers
of all nations. The scum of eight
nations acknowledged him their
leader. He would tip off the loca-
ton of rich booty. He would get
