In discussing the Multiplicity of schemes to defraud the
people, Chief Inspector Sharp says: The determination to
bring these promoters court and obtain judgment has
proved exceedingly successful In instance far
known to this office has person convicted criminal
charge of this character attempted to reorganze his scheme
under new name as was often the where fraud orders
alone resorted to-
The result of the years work has developed the fact that
these fraud manpuators are distinct class OF criminals,
one them moving in the highest social and business circles
nearly all having less alation with schemes or
enterprises Of egmate character, in which they are not
known promoters.
In view OF the heavy loss to the postofce department
prosecuting the Mr. Sharp recommends this work be
taken for inquiry by the department of justice He adds
that the work Of the last year has uncovered condition
among the swndng which shows the astounding
of their operations and the extent of their gotten gains
e policy Of the department., Mr. Sharp points out, has
been crush out the strong and powerful criminals who have
grown rich at the and this plan has served to eliminate

Inspector Sharp suggests t is essential for the protec
on of the public that additional legislation be enacted which
Twill prevent swnders from carrying their operations in the
Iborderland between legitimate undertakings and criminal
kchemers."

 The injunction was unnecessary. As the sun slanted low the enthusiasm grew to fever. This was crowd of nnoisseurs-motorists chauffeurs, automobile lovers and drivers-they knew what was being done before them. The word passed that Le- strange was in his twentieth hour; as he passed by. When one of his tires blew out, in the opening of the first hour of his driving and the twen- ty-fourth of the race, the great shout of sympathy and encouragement that went up shook the grand-stand to its cement foundations.
 Neither Lestrange nor Rupert left his seat while that tire was changed.

 His son moved, flushing through his pallor.

 There is no other way. I have been wrong and l have no control over you; will you come homer"
 There was no other argument but that that could have succeeded, and the three who knew Lestrange knew that could not fail.

 Half an hour"
 "Well, watch us finish"
 A renewed burst of applause greet ed the Mercury cars return to the track. Men were standing watch in hand to count the last moments, their eyes on the bulletin board where the reeled-off miles were being registered. Two of the other machines were fight ing desperately for second place, hope less of rivaling Lestrange, and after them sped the rest
 "The finish," some one suddenly called. "The last lapi"
 Dick was hanging over the paddock fence when the car shot by amidst praying, klaxons. motor horns, cheers. and tEe clashing music of the band. Frantic, the people hailed Lestrange as the black and white checked flag dropped before him in proclamation of his victory and the ended race.
 Rupert raised his arms above his head in the signal of acllnowledg- ment as they flew across the line and swept on to complete the circle to their camp. Lestrange slackened speed to take the dangerous, deeply furrowed turn for the last time, his car poised for the curving flight un- der his guidance-then the watching hundreds saw the drivers hands slip from the steering wheel as he reached for the brake. Straight across the track the machine dashed, instead of following the bend, crashed through the barrier. and rolled over on it's side in the green meadow grass.
 The steering knuckle," Bailey groaned. as the place burst into up- roar around them. "The wheel saw 1t turn uselessly in his hands!" They're up!" cried dozen voices. No, ones up and ones under" Who's caught in the wreck-Le- strange or his man?"
 But before the people who surged over the track, breaking all restraint, before the electric ambulance, Dick French reached the marred thing that had been the Mercury car. It was Lestrange who had painfully struggled to one knee beside the ma chine, fighting hard for breath to speak.
 "Take the car off Rupert" he pant ed, at Dicks cry of relief on seeing him. I'm all right-take the car off Rupert"
 The next instant they were sur rounded, overwhelmed with eager aid. The ambulance came up and sur geon precipitated himself toward Le- strange.
 Stand back" the surgeon com manded generally. Are you trying to smother him? Stand back"
 But it was he who halted before a gesture from Lestrange, who leaned on Dick and comrade from the camp.
 "Go over there, to Rupert"
 "You first"
 "No."
 There was nothing to do except yield Struggling his shoulders. the surgeon paused the necessary mo- ment. A moment only; there was a no protests, but he himself never left scattering of the hushed workers, . metallic crash.
