let fall to his waiting sweetheart in the
street below.
shinburn finally got the girls promise
to wait for him outside the door leading
from the Jail yard at 8 O'Clock on GER
tain afternoon. She was to bring with her
a loaded revolver and some money.
Just before the hour set Shinburn got
the door OF his cell open by saving on the
lock. He cautiously made his way along
the corridor armed himself with heVay
broom handle and waited. in dark corner
for the keeper who carried the key to the
outer door,
AS the keeper approached Shinburn
gripped his club tightly in both hands and
swung 1t high above his head to strike a
blow that would have been murder.
But as Shinburn raised his weapon the
keeper saw the shadow Of 1t on the floor.
He was a quick man with his revolver, and
before the prisoner could strike he turned
abruptly and fred. Shinburn fell, with
ing in pain from an ugly wound in his Leg
Caught After Thirty Years
The love-sick maiden was waiting out
side as Shinburn had told her but she
fed In dismay when she heard the revolt
yer shot and the cries Of pain that fol-
lowed. Her friends prevented her attempt
ing to communicate with the prisoner
again.
The only long prison sentence Shinburn
ever received-ten years in the New Hamp-
shire State prison-was given him for the
robbery of bank at Walpole, n. H. This
crime was committed In the early part OF
his career-long before his robbery of the
Ocean Bank and long before he became a
Belgian nobleman.
Yet, so crafty was Shinburn in escaping
from prison and eluding capture that more
than thirty years after his conviction for
the WalpOle robbery he had served only
month OF his sentence. During all that
time there was a standing reward Of $lO,-
900 for his capture and hundreds Of detec-
tiYes we're constantly on the watch for
him.
Mark Shinburn came out of prison only
a few years ago. He was then over seven
ty-five years old. ! am told that he was
greatly broken in health and so penniless
that he had to depend on the charity Of
friends for the barest necessities OF life.
II crime could ever pay any man it
would have paid Mark Shinburn. He was
the king Of the Burglars"-the great mas
ter mind OF crime, whose wits proved more
than a match for law abiding society.
He was a man Of wonderful ability, who
could have won fame and fortune in any
honorable pursuit he chose to undertake.
But what did crime bring him? Only un-
happiness. poverty. sickness and disgrace!
I am glad to have this opportunity Of
telling you about his ill-spent career. for

have no more powerful example Of the fact
that. no matter how skilfuIly conducted,

induced him to undertake the robbery OF
bank In Belgium. Strangely enough the
man whom the fence assigned to assist
him in his return to crime was none other
than Charles Billiard
The bank they we're going to rob was In
the small Belgian city of Where's. They
planned to enter It one night TO look the
ground over and devise some means OF
breaking into the vault.
After quite a bit of difficulty Shinburn
managed to secure a duplicate of the key
which unlocked the gate opening into the
yard at the rear OF the bank The men
removed their shoes and hid them as they
entered the yard so that their footsteps on
the stone floor Of the bank would attract
no attention.
The door leading from the yard TO the
bank was a heavy affair OF oak and iron
protected on the inside by a large, old
fashioned lock

An Old Friend Finds Him Out

Next afternoon Billiard took up his posi-
ton at the same spot, but this time he had
brought with him a guide who knew all
the distinguished residents Of Brussels.
At last the equipage he was looking for
came in sight. Stepping out almost under
the wheels Of the landau, Bullard peered
into the carriage with earnest and fasci-
mated gaze. The distinguished gentleman
on the back seat turned his eyes upon the
stranger-and, to Billiards amazements
smiled a gentle fash of recognitioni

astonished burglar as be made note Of the
address, with the intention OF calling at
once on his old companion, now masQuer-
aiding as Belgian count
Shinburn did not deny his identity. He
gave Billiard a warm welcome and the
two men spent several days together talk
ing over old times.
Bullard could not believe that Shin
burn's reform was genuine. He had in
mind several bank robberies-all he need

burglar disappeared from the horizon that
not even one of his old friends and fellow
cracksmen had the slightest clue to his
whereabouts, If, indeed, he was alive at all.
But one day a strange thing happened.
Charley Bullard, all-around burglar and
old partner of Shinburn. had found things
too hot for him in America, and he decided
to transfer his field of endeavor to some
of the banks in Europe. Billiard did a
little work in London, cracked a safe in a
suburb Of Amsterdam and moved on to
Brussels, the gay capital of Belgium
Strolling about the city a few hours
after his arrival, Billiard leaned up against
a lamp post on the fashionable avenue
where title and nobility drive every after
noon and gave himself over to the enjoy
ment of the moving panorama OF wealth,
fashion and royalty. Suddenly Billiard
gave a start-he bent his neck forward.
"In the name of Heaven, Mark Shinburn!"
escaped from his lips.
But the carriage had passed. 1t was too
incredible. OF course It could not have
been Shinburn. reasoned Billiard to him
self as ne strolled on.
But that face in the open landau had
fixed itself in Billiards. brain. He remem-
bered the fine pair of prancing horses, the
Jingle OF the silver-mounted harness, the
livered coachman and footman-no, 1t
could not be ShInburn. And the crest and
monogram on the carriage-no, Shinburn
would not it into such setting. And the
beautiful woman beside him-no. Shin
burn was no society swell.
But that face! Billiard would make sure
of one more look at 1t. And this time he
would manage TO find out who II was who
was such a marvellous counterfeit OF his
old departed friend Shinburn.

His Return to Crime

To pick this lock was an easy matter
for Shlnburn. but FIRST he had to remove
the keyhole plate on the outside Of the
door. AS he unscrewed the small screws
which held the plate he put them away in
his pocket for use in putting the plate on
again when their visit was over.
The vault, they were delighted to find,
offered no serious difficulties. shinburn
quickly took wax Impressions of its lock
and they prepared to leave.
But just as they were about 20 step out
they heard the clatter Of footsteps In the
deserted street. II was a gendarme-One
of the towns regular force of night police
and be was coming directly toward the
bank.
They drew quickly back-closed the
door again softly and locked it. Through a
crack in a window curtain they watched
the gendarme as be came slowly down the
street. swinging his lantern and pausing
now and then TO try door or gate.
In their hurry to get into the protecting
shadows OF the banks yard, Shinburn and
Billiard had closed the gate behind them
but had neglected to lock It. II the vigi-
liant gendarme tried 1t he would know at
once that something was wrong.
What he would have done under other
circumstances the anxious robbers never
knew. for just as he got directly opposite
the bank, they were dismayed to see a
gust Of wind swing the gate wide open.
The creak OF the hinges and the noise
u made as Il swung against the adjoining
wall made the gendarme stop short. He
raised his lantern and gaZed In astonish-
ment at the open gate.
With cautious steps, as IL he feared
some one would jump at him out Of the
darkness, he entered the yard and walked
up to the door.
He turned the knob and gave II a v-sOr.
