stead OF Mr.. Wright was that Mr.. Wright
was a business man who knew how TO in.
duce capital to finance him, whereas he,
Herman Heinze, was an artist miserably
futile at commerce.
1t is fair enough to say that whatever
else Heinze's flying machine lacked, it was
guiItless Of lack of originality. Nothing
quite like it has been seen. l never saw it
fly inasmuch as my acquaintance with it
was limited to the plans and its picture,
drawn Of course by its inventor.
AS far as was able to discern it performed
on the principle of all helicopters--a flying
machine sustained and propelled by one or
more air screws on vertical axes. Her
mans had four screws. The pilot sat on a
high seat manipulating two levers. There
was nothing of the machine over his head.
There was nothing Immediately in front Of
him, nor in back of him, nor on either side
of him. 1t was as though he was sitting
on top of a fagpole viewing grandeur. All
the driving and sustaining apparatus was
beneath him.
The picture suggested blithe, bewhis-
kered citizen riding through space on a col
lection of furnace pipe. A male Valkyr
taking in the clouds on bunch of oversize
stovepipe.
Do not misunderstood me- Herman was
no nut. He had little too much magma
tion, perhaps, and it is likely his fancies
governed him. But there was no crack in
his brain that shouldn't have been there.
He was as sane as bookkeeper,
However, his flying mchine failed of sue
cess like his opera and his aluminium port
able bridge He failed to interest moneyed
folk and therefore lacked the money to
build the machine shop and hangers neces-
sary to the building and experimenting.
As you will see in a moment, Herman
lacked nothing but money.
Later on he told us that had his opera
not been decade or so ahead Of its time
it would have made much money for him
and he would have been a highly respected
composer, excused for personal and minor
ihfractions of the law on the grounds of
temperament. In others words had he
gained the appreciation due him all would
have been well and Sing Sing would never
have known him. The same reasoning he
applied to his bridge.
As for the idol of his brain, his flying
machine, had he been able to build that
and hand it to the waiting world his pill.
lows would have been money bags and his
name a synonym for genius and benefactor
Thus made wealthy he would devote him
self to the production of opera. What
Beccham's Pills had done for music in
London, Heinze's Helicopter - Hein2e's
Homemade Helicopter-would do for New
York And New York deserved it so little

Tt was, therefore, Grass stupidity on the
part of the world that drove him to the
hunted life Of the counterfeiter and the
counterfeiter's inevitable end They never
get away with it. And just to moralize a
bit, permit me to give bit OF gratuitous
advice to any ambitious young men who
contemplate counterfeiting currency.

are no cleverer than the most original and
astute of your predecessors They couldn't
quite make the grade. You can't either.

Something Wrong With the Coin,
But What Was 1t?
1t was along about September, 1906, that
we received word that the Pacific coast was
being showered by half dollars that never
saw a United States mint. Agent Burke
went out to make preliminary investiga-
tion. He came back with a very remark
able reproduction of fifty cent silver coin.
Its weight was correct. The silver was
genuine AS bullion 1t was worth as much
as the legitimate coin. If you looked at 1t
casually or even carefully, if you were not
on your guard or were not more or less of
an expert in such matters, you would pro,
nounce it perfectly good. 1t had the ring
the sharpness of milling and stamping

broad a statement. If you were to take a
glass and scrutinize the lettering you would
become impressed with the fact that there
was something queer about 1.-THE letter.
ing | mean. You would be justified in con.
Guiding that some other lettering had been
on that coin or that something had been
all but obliterated. And quite right, too
We looked at that coin until our eyes
began playing tricks upon us. We took it
to banks and to collectors of coins. We
had it inspected by men whom the Treas
ury Department employs to solve queer
riddles such as this one was. They said
the same thing we had; that there was
something wrong about the coin.
With the coin in our hands we went to
San Francisco. Much time was wasted
thereby. We not only learned nothing ex-
cept that the supply of the coins had
ceased The coins had passed out of gen
eral circulation, but we were entirely in
the dark concerning the manufacturer
thereof.
It does not seem to me to come amiss to

Heinze, Poet, Thinker, &C.,
And His Portable Bridge

Herman was thinker, poet, a roman
ticist. It was too much, all this for one
man. 1t got him into no end of trouble.
1t was Herman's airship that fetched his
downfall The opera and the bridge, as
much as he cherished them as dreams,
could wait. After all, there was limited
audience for opera; and bridge, by the
same token, was bridge--a common
enough thing. Later on there would be
time for bridges. Let the world struggle
along with its clumsy steel spans. Good
enough for 1t, at that
1t is true that Herman tried to sell his
opera, but the music loving public was at
that time baking at the ultra-modern
school. Strauss was yet to come, but folks
were preparing for him. One thing at
time. The public would never stand for
Strauss and Heinze simultaneously. Fancy
the first singing of "Elektra" with the
"Fall Of Jericho being produced in a neigh.
boring theater at the same hour, and New
York's police force numbering only 10000,
as it did at the time.
! So the world has never heard Herman
Heinze orchestrated and warbled.

CASE V.
NEW YORK, Saturday.

New York, Saturday.
1v HERE is a meager possibility that
one of these nights the Metropoli-
tan Opera Company will produce
an opera unlike anything it has ever sung.
II say that the possibility is a meager one,
but I've come across such amazing things
while hunting crooks that I'm prepared
for the shock, no matter whence it comes.
can see the announc ements of the new
opera-the Fall of Jericho" or Daniel and
the Lions" score and EbTetto by none
other than Herman Heinze. Four or five
acts of it, with lots Of tenors and magnifl-
cent orchestral effects. Probably Herman
would have band in the pit instead of an
orchestra. 1t is not improbable that Her.
man would sing all the parts himself. Her
man would try anything any number of
times If not restrained.
Wonder what has become Of Herman
since he left Sing Sing! We had fearful
time getting him in there.
Possibly 1t will not be an opera that will
announce Herman Heinze's return. 1t may
be a portable bridge made of aluminium
and long enough and strong enough to take
all the traffic that crosses the East River.
Herman was rather keen about portable
bridges. AS recall it he had bridge
that would even span the Hudson. This
bridge could be moved up and down the
river to suit traffic. If there was great call
for 1t at Fourteenth street at noon, let's
say, it would simply move to Fourteenth
street and mechanically extend itself or
shorten itself to span the river at that
point. At 2 o'clock the traffic at Chambers
street might be enormous. Simple. Merely
pull lever and throw in a switch or so
and the Heinze bridge would pillow down to
Chambers street and connect the two
shores.
