effort to[get one of Wotth's accom-.
plices out Of Jail. The man escaped
on technicality, however, and Worth
had the picture on his hands. He did
not dare to sell it or even to mention
its existence. The painting was kept
in q hermetically sealed case in the
false bottom of a trunk. The Pinker-
tons, who were set to work on the
case, believed that Worth was the
thief, but could not prove it.
This is where Sheedy came into the
case. Worth had at one time done
Sheedy a kindness-$2,0 900 worth of
kindness, to be exact. Pinkerton heard
of this and asked Sheedy that If he
ever saw Worth again to find out about
the Gainsborough. Some years later,
when Sheedy was running a gambling
joint in Constantinople, he received
word from Adam Worth, who was in
trouble, as usual. Sheedy, of course,
more than made good the former loan
and got Worth out He then men
toned the matter of the Gainsborough,
and Worth replied that he was on the
point of breaking the ice on that sub
ject himself The upshot of it all was
that Sheedy acted as a go-between,
got the picture out of the false bottom
of the trunk where it was in storage
in Boston, had the British owners over
to examine it, collected the $4,000 re-
ward, presumably turned over the
money to Adam Worth and his pals
and as a result of the incident got into
"art7 himself. .aaI
Worth was so grateful for Sheedy's
action in the Gainsborough affair
that before his death he insisted on
giving Pat an original Murillo which
had been stolen out of some monastery
When this came into his hands Sheedy
tried 10 find the rightful owners, ad-
vertising extensively in South America
and elsewhere, but failed. Some years
later he heard that RaisuI, the Moroc-
can bandit, had in his possession a
Correggio. which was also obtained.

An interesting fact in this connection
Is that several months ago it was re-
ported in the public prints that Mona
Lisa" had been stolen and a copy sub
stituted in it's place. This was after
ward denied, but the disappearance
now makes it seem strange coinci-
dence. almost prophecy.
There is one other possible explana-
ton. 1t is notorious that in Europe
the trade of making fake "old mas
ters" fiourishes apace, chiefly for the
purpose of gulling American million
aires. These copies are properly aged
by processes that the takers know and
are then sold for fabulous prices to
those who have more money than ex-
pert knowledge or perhaps real appre-
citation of "old masters" To do this
work takers have to possess originals
in order that the copy may be as
nearly perfect as possible. Sometimes
these limitations are so close that they
fool even the experts.
Some such an organization of takers
may have taken the Mona Lisa" for
copying purposes, expecting afterward
to return the original or clever du-
plicate for a ransom. This would be
so hazardous a game, however, that
even a league of criminals would
hardly run the risk.
Many pictures have been stolen in
the past, but none even approaching
the value of "Mona Lisa" The most
famous case in modern times was the
theft of Gainsborough's famous por-
trait Of the Duchess of Devonshire." I"

called, having been active in her hus-

Ing was missing nearly a quarter Of a
century and was finally returned
through the instrumentality Of the late

Sheedy's version of the affair was that
the thief was Adam Worth, whom
Sheedy regarded as the greatest crimi-
nal of the last century. The painting
was originally stolen to be used in an

Upon Its disappearance the Louvre
was closed for several days, a large
force of police was set to work search
great building, and sixty detectives
were started working ON the outside.
One of the theories of the authorities
was that the thief was a young man
who was known to have become enam-
ored of the painting and who had
visited it at intervals for several
months, sitting before it with a rapt
expression for hours together. They
believe that he fell in love with the
face, as painters have been known to
become enamored of their own works,
and grew insane upon the subject, his
mania finally prompting the crime.
So much We're people affected by this
masterpiece that some shed tears at
sight of it. Not few letters have
been received at the Louvre addressed
to Mona Lisa" and expressing love
to her as to a living person.
That the deed was the work of some
deranged person seems almost certain

not be disposed of and hence would be
without value to the thief. A painting
is only valuable when shown. If the
criminal could dispose Of it to a pri-
vate collector-and 1t cannot be con-
ceived that any thief would dare to
offer it for sale or that any collector
would be 30 foolish or depraved as to
buy it-such collector would not dare
exhibit 1t for fear of detection. While
there are many copies of the painting
that the average man could hardly de-
tect from the original, there are al.
ways those who can distinguish, and
now that the whole world is on the
lookout for the picture every copy will
be subjected to closer inspection.
Moreover, an old master is chiefly val
liable because it is an original. and to
be able to refer to it as such and to
know in his heart that the claim is
true constitute its chief value to the
collector; hence insanity of one form
or another Is the only rational explana-
