WIRE TAPPERS WORKING

Wire tappers, who operated in
Florida successfully last winter and
for several winters, have not aban-
doned their trade nor have they sus-
pended operations for the summer.
The wire tappers, possibly some OF
those who were in st. Petersburg
last winter, have transferred their
scene of operations to New York.
They landed victim recently, but
it will be noticed that they did not
escape arrest. The New York Sui
says
Newport Logan, an Australian cat
tie dealer, arrived several days ago
at the Biltmore on his way to Eng
land and In the course Of trip
through the Wall street district met
John P Kent of the Hotel Patterson.
Kent seemed friendly, according to
Logan's story, and cemented the
friendship when he said he, too, was
from Australia. In a burst of con-
fidence Logan said that his new friend
gave him tip that there had arrived
at the Savoy a gentleman named John
Parker of Boston, who had inside
dope on certain horses than racing In
Canada.
Logan said he was persuaded af-
ter meeting Mr.. Parker to put Up ST.
900 in a $4,000 pool on horse which
was to be infallible. Kent offered to
raise $4,000, Logan said, and Parke
agreed to put up the rest. Kent then
took Logan's money and went out to
make the bet, Logan continued, and
returned shortly after with the an
nouncement that all was set and that
the only detail remaining to the
transaction was to wait around until
the horse won and then collect the
sudden fortune.
Logan said that Parker then in
CURED what horse Kent had put the
money on and Kent's reply was
"Sandfy." This irritated Parker, Lo-
gan said, and he berated Kent fol
playing the wrong horse. Within five
minutes the phone rang and the in
formation was transmitted, Logar
said, that "Sandfy" had come up tt
Parker's expectations and had lost
Logan's disgust at the whole pro
ceeding was so acute that yesterday
hc caused the arrest of both Parkel
and Kent for getting away with his

for Encouragement, the real secret is
in ourselves, we are not living close
enough to God. The thankful heart
that is fixed in God is superior to
Encouragement. Selected.

Thy heart will cheer thee when the

 Her present idea was to reach the noom where she had walked that morning, or rather that afternoon and do as much as possible to allay the suspicious of the woman who evidently had her in charge.
 She had reached nearly the top of the stairway, when one of the bedroom doors opened and Helga appeared.
 "Ohv she exclaimed as she caught sight of the girl. You've finished your lunch"
 "Yes," Jane answered demurely. T was so tired I thought I would come up- stairs and lie down."
 Watching the girls face quisically, the woman followed her into the bedroom and seemed on the point of speaking several times before she finally broke out.
