"TheTe's a house party in the neigh

Into the church, with Webster at his
heels, Just in time to escape another
fuslllade. They walked through the
sacristy and passed through a coor
INTO the great cathedral, with its high,
carved gothic-arched ceiling. Through
the thick-closed doors Of the main en-
trance, lost in the dlmness Of space
out In front, the sounds Of the battle
half block away seemed very distant,
indeed.
They passed the altar and Don Juan
genuhected and crossed himself rever-

"Walt for me, sor."
He leaned his rife against the altar
railing. crossed the church and touched
lightly on the shoulder a monk kneel-
ing In prayer before the altar of the
Virgin; the latter bent his head while
Don Juan whispered; then he rose and
both went into the confessional, while
Webster found a bench along the wall
and waited.
Presently Don Juan came forth,
knelt on the red-tlled floor and prayed
something. Webster suspected, he
had not done for quite a while. And
when he had finished his supplication
and procured his rifle, Webster Joined
him, the monk unbolted the door and

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
OLD AND NEW CROOKS.
The difference between the crooks of a
quarter of a century ago and those Of
today is that now the crooks are not
known. Many Of them are college bred.
They usually hire offices in the prox-
unity Of Wall Street and pose as brokers.
You meet them everywhere, at Long
Island garden parties, In the Hobbies Of
the smart hotels and In the homes of
miIlionaires. They have cute lawyers
and seldom get into the newspa pers.
Hence the public does not become
familiar with their names.
The GOndorf Brothers are crude work
ers compared with the modern confidence
man. And even such astute card sharps
as "Bill' Terrence, Doc Owens and
frankie" Dwyer find themselves out
classed when arrayed against the rising
generation of card manipulators. On

liam Travers Jerome is rafting the
shelton of little old New York. The livest
district attorney Gotham ever had, with

ate Theodore Roosevelt, is campaigning
for Henry II. Curren, the coalition can
didate for mayor. Mr.. Jerome appears to
have staged a picturesque comeback Tor
himself, and incidentally, given Mayor

position.

Let us peep behind the frayed curtains.
Alfred r. Coslin, the genius Of several
amazing credit swindles, has been living
quietly in Paris for a decade. I saw
him in front of the Notre Dame Cathedral

in his buttonhOIe and was in the company
of Col Abe Hummeil, the disbarred
lawyer, also a permanent Partisan.

Broadway most any evening, and he looks
actually seedy. Age has crumpled the
boldness of his tread, but his smile is as
inviting as ever. He has been out of luck
for several seasons now. His last venture
that paid was the proprietOrship Of a
roadhouse in Westchester County. His
methods of procuring a play" for such
tables as he might preside over are com
pletely out of cate. A much cleverer and
younger crowd is running the gambling
business of the metropolis with a daring
that is passing belief.
