"oh. HI" replied Gurney. We've

caught unless a fellow goes and gives

for months, and secured evidence to
convict about twenty of the Gurney
party.
While Butts had been busy with the
gang Of showers, Bower had been de-
voting his time to Gurney and the
other leaders. On one occasion Bower
purchased $500 of counterfeit money
from Gurney, and this he handed to
me as l was on my way to dinner at
the st. Clair house AS l entered the
restaurant l met Gurney looking as
cheerful and innocent as a Raphael

terYiew and, in burst of enthusiasm
declared that everything about the
government detective headquarters
was known to him before It trans
pired. He asserted that he was one
of my assistants, and was SO puffed
up over his imaginary success that he
really believed he knew what was 90
ing on in my Office.
The time now seemed ripe for thC
arrest of the entire party who hat

ney was well fitted to deceive with a
plausible story, for he seemed candid
in manner and we'll equipped in every
way to impose upon the most incred-
ulous.
The officers of the secret service
all considered him a dangerous per-
son and none was anxious to encoun-
ter man of such gigantic proportions
and apparently desperate character.
My first move against Gurney was
to send Mike Bower, a newly-fedged
government detective, to form his ac-
quaintance. Bower was selected be.
cause his appearance was anything
but that of detective. Bower drifted
into Gurney's "boozing-den" on East
Bleeker street where, after lettering
around drinking and smoking for
week or two, he one day called Cur
ney aside and told him he was broke
and must have a little money. He
drew from his inside pocket gold
watch with short piece Of chain
hanging from it, giving 1t the appear
ance of having been nipped from the
pocket Of some unfortunate citizen.
Gurney snapped at the bait at once
and intimated, with sly wink, that
the watch had been stolen. When
Bower finally admitted as much Cur
ney seemed pleased and bought the
watch at about one-third its value,
renlarking: You're all right, my
boy. When you want anything, como
to me-"
After a few days Bower again ap-
preached Gurney, this time with a
diamond stud that had been slipped
from its fastenings. Il need some
more money" said Bower.
Gurney inspected the gem with an
appreciative eye, and finally said:
"You are a good one. Did you ever
handle any Of the 'QueerT"

The only care needed is to rub Of

using rag moistened in alcohol X
spots occur. These, too. are more
costly than silver, but are considered
very smart.
The backs are monogramed In
black, brown, and occasionally In
raised gold. Sometimes the sets are
shown with floral decorations, but
this is not 30 good style as is seen In
many of the limitations.
White celluloid sets with mono.
gram in black, dark green, blue, or
brown are now to be found in good
designs with simple lines The latest
preparations are no longer combus-
tible, and a full celluloid toilet set is
good investment for a guest room,
for girl at college, or for the chronic
traveller; for use In bag they ara

The searcher after novelty can have

not believe in using harsh measures
unnecessarily. Gurney fairly chuckled
at this simplicity and was thrown
completely off his guard.
He assumed an air of great mystery
and spoke of the possible existence Of
counterfeit plates that might be
reached for a reward. He would not,
he declared, accept dollar for his
personal services but, because Of his
great fancy for me, was ready to as
sist in every way possible. He was
permitted to blarney along and play
the game to his own liking, secure in
the belief that he was completely de-
ceiving the government officials.
In the meantime the services of an
old counterfeiter, fresh from the peni-
tentiary, had been secured. Many Of
his old confederates were now opera
ting with the Gurney gang and,
through him, Bill Butts, fresh-look-
ing detective from one Of the western
states, was introduced to several of
the men who made their headquarters
at a saloon on the Bowery. Butts in
