"The excitement was at fever heat

strong to say that between the hours
Of five and eight in the evening, half
million persons were on the look
out in the streets and in the houses to
get sight OF the men who seemed
to be-from the fact that no one saw
them at all-more of the nature Of
spirits than human beings. The rob-
berries were not confined to any Sec
ton, but spread in all directions in
all parts Of the city. It was evident
from the style of the work, that in
the Fifth avenue district there were
two or more very expert thieves en-
gagged. In other parts Of the city men
were at work, probably imitators Of
these, who did not move with the
same caution and certainty.
Thousands of robberies were re-
ported from all sections Of the city.

PETE M'cRAcKEN's STORY.

SFedL SudhluS uP = lucy Id4h
about the way in which the gangs in
the far west hold up railroad trains
and walk away with safes from coun-
try banks as If they were really some
thing to be proud of, but tell you,
my boy, they are nothing compared
to the way in which Kid Kelly and
held up New York and made hun
dreds of people pay tribute to our
prowess and cunning.
Il had been doing time in Joliet,
ILL.,, for burglary, and got out on the
same day with Kid Kelly, one of
the best thieves I ever met. He was
no bigger than 12-year-old boy, but
he was as quick as creased lightning.
There was nothing ON the calendar
that he would not tackle. He was
the only person ever met who was
absolutely without fear. He seemed
to have no idea of what fear meant.
remember on one occasion, when the
Kid and got into close quarters in
ST. Louis, that he was shot through
the hand. He neglected to take care
of the wound. took him to see a
surgeon, who said that the only way
to save KIDS arm and life was to
amputate all of his hand except the
thumb and forefinger.
"The Kid told the doctor to begin
without delay, and the expert started
to give him dose Of ether. But the
Kid refused to take it. He actually
sat down in a chair, held up his hand,
and watched the surgeon cut through
his flesh and snip of the bones with
a pair Of forceps without a tremor.
While the Kid was getting over this
l kept easy, and read great deal.
One day struck story about the re-
markable decrease In second-story
robberies in New York, and it struck
me that the time was just ripe for me
to pay the big town visit. The peo-
pie would be feeling secure, and that
is the time for thief to get in his
fine work.
"'The Kid and I got to New York
in the latter part Of September. We
spent about three weeks studying the
houses and what appeared to be the
best places to tackle. The field was
the most promising one that ever
saw. There were few houses on
Fifth, Lexington and Madison ave-
nues, as we'll as on the cross streets.
that could not be entered from the
second story by either the Kid or me.
I'VE started in on Madison avenue.
In 30 days we got into 60 houses and
picked up property that would make
an average Of more than $1,000 q
house.
I'VE did not have the slightest trou-
BILE in any place. We came close to
be seen by q woman who entered a
room in which We were working on
Twenty-ninth street and Madison ave-
nue., but went away without see
ing us. She never knew how close
ly she came to having her light put
out. You never heard Of such great
excitement e. there was, In the city.
The papers were filled with stories
about the second-story work going on
from day to day. The police were
abused Tor not catching the thieves.

and always will, occur. the great
school Of the past. Of which big
Frank" Mccoy, Pete McCracken and
"Kid" Kelly were leaders, is a thing
of the past.
The holiness with which second
story men" operate makes it appear
to the unprofessional mind that an
unusual amount Of risk is involved.
AS a matter Of fact, the risk is not so
great as in any number Of other styles
of robbery. In New York city there
have been fewer convictions for sec
ond-story robberies than almost an~
other, due in part to the difficulty Of
detection.
big Frank" Mccoy went undetect-
ed until he pulled coping stone loose
while scaling the front porch Of q
house in Brooklyn and was crushed
to death. Second story thievery Ian
guished for a time after his death,
and then the bright lights came out of
the west and stirred things up in the
big city until the police were at their
wits end. It is the story of one of
them, Pete McCracken, the only real
first class chief that Ohio, the maker
Of presidents, ever produced, that I
started out to tell.

her assassination on the steps OF the
peripatetic theatre she compelled attep-

fascinating personality. Her song TO
the birds. after she had overcome little
nervousness that made her shorten her
phrases. was expressed with elouuence.
In the love duet with Silvlo she made
q delightful appeal by the freshness OF
her voice and the archness Of her act
