tectives and postal police. While in
nearly all of the more recent jobs
with which he was connected the
police had been supplied with de-
scriptions of the participants, one
OF which fitted him to a nicely, yet
he successfully evaded arrest.
In turn the post offices at Apex
and Youngsville, n. c., were looted
Of their valuables, all of which were
disposed of in celebrated Bowery
resort in New York which the police
full wei! knew was q fence" for the
yeggs, yet one which they were never
able to build up sufficiently strong
case against to take it's proprietor to
court. This resort is flourishing to-
day and it's owner is still prime
favorite with all yeggmen and one
who ever stands ready to help by
cash advances to his friends, the
yeggs. AS Ned" was preparing to
leave New York after the disposal of
his stamps he met friend who told
him he had just received tip that
the post office at Windsor, n. c., had
just laid in a good supply of stamps
and that they were easy of access.
Accordingly Ned" his new found
friend and Missouri Blackie" sped
TO the Old North State and 'Blackie'
was sent on ahead to locate" the
job.
"Blackie" reported to the other
two, who had discreetly remained
under cover in a hiding place adja-
cent to the town, that it would not
be safe to pull the job" thai night,
as ball would be in progress in a
hall over the post office. Ned"

the others tried to dissuade him, he
went forth alone and single handed
robbed the office after exploding sew
eral charges of soup" on the safe
door before he could get to the strong
box. He found there were many
stamps on hand and cash far in ex-
cess of his fondest expectations.
Ned did not deem it necessary to
look up his pals" who had remain
ed in their hiding place, but went on
to Christiansburg, Va, where he had

long cherished a desire to spend sufH-
cient time in which to Gift" what
ever happened to be stored in that
post office vault. Again he was agree
ably disappointed, for this nights
work paid him even better than the
last. A.! of the stamps procured in
these two operations were taken to
Alexandria and trimmed" in
"Ned's" house, after which they were
disposed of at Norfolk, Va. at the
customary discount rates.
While in Alexandria :" was
making his way to his lite sa-
loon late at night. Just as he turn
ed corner within block of his des-
tination he came face to face with
Ryan. Guns were whipped out at a
seconds notice, for each knew a bat
tie to the death was on and that the
last to draw" would be the last to
leave the battle ground. Nearly
dozen shots we're exchanged, and al
though several bullets ripped
through his clothing Ned" escaped
serious injury and once more left for
dead the man he had sworn to kill
on sight. Alexandria was no longer
healthy lingering place for him, for
Ryan had more friends there even
among the yeggs than Med" so the
victor OF this their second encounter
sped across the river to Washington
and catching fast train, was on his
way to the Carolinas again before
the alarm went forth that Ned" had
again "got" Ryan. But Ryan again
survived his injuries and once more
swore he would kill Ned If he had

Irritation with every pretty woman
he met. Maud was attractive and

Ned" was unable to pin Maud
down or make her own to having
more than a passing interest in Nc
Carthy, but nevertheless it served to
open his eyes and he brooded over
her tiirtatious proclivities and kept
closer watch on her.
Returning unexpectedly to Alex
andria from one Of his marauding
expeditions, Port Ned" surprised
his wife with John Ryan. of Alexan-
dria, and while Ryan managed to
flee from the infuriated yeggman,
Ned" swore he would yet get" him
and put him out OF the way. After
leaving the city for few weeks in
order to clean up few post offices in
remote parts of the Old Dominion,
Ned" learned that Ryan had re-
turned to Alexandria. He at once
headed for his home town and, Slip

he surprised Ryan standing at the
bar and without warning opened fire
and sent several bullets crashing into
various parts of his rivals anatomy.
Not to BE Depended Upon.
The attack was so flagrantly cow
ardly that even fellow-yeggmen de-
nounced it and Ned" soon realized
that he could not depend upon the
support Of his fellow thieves in the
event of submitting to arrest and
standing trial. He knew that with
feeling running so high against him
he could not hope TO escape through
that time-honored loophole, self
defense" Confident that Ryan, II
not dead, was mortally wounded,
Ned fled and made tracks for the
Far West with all haste.
But Ryan did not die, and, recov-
ering from his wounds, registered a
solemn VOW that he woud get"
Ned" and bent. all his energies to
that end. Meanwhile Ned" had
learned that Ryan had recovered
and then and there began one OF the
strangest chases over recorded in
yegg circles. "Ne(" devoted his flu

down Ryan, while Ryan, bent on a
similar mission, was traversing the

rant that he was sought by the

Gated" the bank, only awaiting an
opp portunity to engage Ned" in the
actual work Of blowing the safe. The
entry and explosion that followed
were easily effected. Just how much
was procured is problematical, but in
any event Ned" held out" $500
as his share of the spoils His asso-
ciates were far from satisfied with
the portion allotted to them, but
that mattered little to Ned" for

Shorty" and Chicken Bill" had
looked over the bank at that point,
and after getting word to Ned
whom they knew to be an expert on
safes, whether with drill or "soup,'
they hid in that vicinity until Ned"
could join them. 1t was easy TO
force way into the bank and "NoI"
went to work with a will on the safe.
NO matter how heavy the charge OF

resisted all his efforts. After sending

money as his friend Mccarthy, was
rarely in funds a month after some
of his choicest coups. He layished
presents upon Maud and his principle
was that nothing was too good for
her" The sky was his limit when
he purchased jewelry for her and the
sobriquet OF Diamond Maud" clung
to her as long as Port Ned was In
humor. But in seeking Ryan Ned,
became penniless and cast about for
some soft spot in which to recoup
his fallen fortunes and continue his
man hunt. Ned" did not feel at
home in the West, while the South
and Southwest offered fields for his
activities second to none. Doubling
on his tracks, he soon found himself
in Murfreesboro, N. c., and to his
surprise met his old time friend
Missouri Shorty" The post office
was duly inspected, although Ned"
had long since marked it for a Siast.
This job did not make either Inc e.

were procured. the bulk OF which
was in "stickers." These were dis

Kings Moutnain, n. c., looked
promising and Ned and his pals
journeyed to that remote hamlet and
thoroughly investigated tho field
"Dutch' and Walter" were "Nedis"
aides in this operation and when they
fed the little town shortly star .,ni1
night they had $4,000 in cash ard
stamps. The latter were easily ais-
posed Of through smaller channels,
and Ned was once more su lticieutlv
in funds to resume his search for
Ryan. But before leaving the Caro-
linas Ned" remembered there was a
little job at Prosperity, S, c., he
wanted to complete, so he hurried

him in Enoree, S. c., where he was
told big manufacturing concerit
possessed a safe that fairly bulged
with cash. Accordingly, assisted by

ed the plant over, saw that little or
no resistance was likely to be offered
and while the little town slept rear
window to the plants office was Jim
mied and Ned" crawled through as
his associates watched on the out
side.
Ned" gave Waiter" and Dutch"
each what he told them was their
equal share of his loot, but they all
ways suspected he had double cross
ed them. The truth Of their conten-
ton was borne out in McCarthy's
"squeal" to the post Office authors
ties, for he told them that while
Ned" had given Walter" and
Dutch" $3.50 each, he had held out
upward of $4,000 for himself. The
loot consisted of cash, stamps and
government bonds and tho latter
were disposed of in New York
through a third person. The pro-
ceeds were expressed to Ned" at
Norfolk, Va.
BY this time "Ned" was pretty
flush. He realized that he had earn

Alexandria and, the old love still su-

lavished money upon her. In less

the first time that Ryan was seeking

and following every big Job they
pulled Off together disputes arose
over the division of the spoils. Some
say each was intolerably greedy and
fought for the lions share OF the

brought him food and medical aid.
With walter" and "Billy" for
"lookouts," Ned" entered the post
office and soon had the safe door
blown to atoms. Nearly thousand
dollars in stamps, funds and jewelry
were found in the shattered strong
box, and with these safely tucked in
mis- pockets Ned" emerged from
the post Office just in time to hear
the warning cry of the 1ookouts."
The blast from the Soup" Ned"
had applied to the safe had been
heard by several citizens, who quietly
