Efforts Of the Hawaiian Islands to
have the provisions of the federal

of Hawaii are meeting with warm
support from officials Of the Ameri-

some of its affiliated clubs.
Raymond c. Brown, secretary of

federal aid for the Hawaiian roads.

ear. and. owing to her strategic
position as an outpost Of the United

Sir Norman Greves' Side

= RESIGNED my position at Scot
land Yard for two reasons. First.
II as a protest against an act of
gross injustice which, although it did
not affect me personally. was still
bitterly resented by the majority of
my fellow-workers, and secondly be-
cause. through the unexpected death
of a distant relative. succeeded to a
baronetcy and a sufficient income.
spent the best part of three years
in travel, nearly half of which time /
was in the United States. On my re-
turn to London I found myself. much
against my will, hankering after my
old profession. 1t was very clear to
me that my old department had lost
the mastery it had once had over the
criminal world. The problems of sew
eraI cold blooded murders and various
large and daring robberies remained
entirely unsolved. In the intervals OF
these from an outsiders point Of view,
chiefly from the columns of the news
papers, but also to some extent from
hints and information supplied to me
by my friend, Inspector Huntington,
who had been one of my colleagues
in the old days and now held the post
which 1 had vacated. Gradually I
came to a certain conclusion, a con-
clusion which I kept largely to my
self because I felt sure that no one

task of discovering this one man, and
the day came at last when really
believed that I was in a position to
lay my hand upon him. There is no
necessity to detail the evidence which
POINTED to this man. 1t is enough to
say that after watching him for three
weeks, became convinced that man
of the name of Thomas Pugsley,
carrying on business in Bermondsey
as a leather broker, and living ap-
parently the most respectable of lives
at Brixton, was in some measure con-
nected with these crimes.
I discovered that Pugsley's leather
agency business was prosecuted with
out energy or attention, that his fire.
quent absences from London were not
in neighborhoods where his wares
could be pushed, and that he was
often away for a month at time,
with his whereabouts unknown even
to his landlady. The latter was
highly respectable woman at whose
house he had lived for the last two
years and who, I honestly believe,
was ignorant of her lodger's ante
cedents, habits and business. BY TAX
ing rooms in the neighborhood, I
easily discovered all that she knew
and one or two circumstances which
lent color to my suspicious. l placed
these before Huntington, and it was
decided to make an arrest.
\ more clumsy piece of business
than this intended arrest was never
planned or carried into effect. The
inspector placed in charge of the af-
fair by Huntington, and his two
subordinates, arrived at Brixton an
hour later than the time fixed upon,
accosted Pugsley in the street, and
were very soon made aware of the
class of person with whom they had
to deal. Before the inspector could
get out half dozen words, he was
lying on the pavement with a bullet

me. I decided that the majority Of
shese undetected crimes We're due to
one person. or rather to one gang Of
criminals presided over by one domi-
nant leader. Purely from the devel-
oped instinct by my long years Of
service in the police department. I set
myself the task Of hunting down this
super-criminal
There were three crimes which 1
became convinced had been com
lnitted by the same hand4 The first
was the great robbery Of jewels from
Messrs. Henson & Watts establish
ment in Regent St, and the muir
der Of the Waterman, who was shot
dead at his post. No trace Of even a
single article of this jewelry had
ever been discovered. The second
crime was the robbery of a number
of bonds from a messenger in rail
way carriage on the London, Chatham
& Dover line. The messenger was
a'so shot. but recovered after six
months nursing. although he could
never give any coherent account of
what had happened to him. The
bonds were disposed OF in South
America. The third was the robbery
from Lord Wenderley's house in
Park Lane.
There were other crimes which I
thought might be connected with
these: but these three. for various
reasons, became linked together in
my mind as the outcome of one
mans planning. I set myself the

through his shoulder His compan-
ions dragged him to the pavement
and set him up against the ratings.
Then they turned to look for Pugs-
ley. There was not a trace of him
10 be discovered anywhere.
The amazing skill and cunning of
the man was amply demonstrated on
that morning. BY some extraordi-
nary means he seemed to disappear
from the face of the earth.
The morning which Witnessed, how
ever, the shooting of the inspector
and the remarkable disappearance of
the man in whom 1 was so deeply
interested. was memorable, so far as
was concerned, for another note
worthy incident. Absolutely disguised
with the result of my six months
iabors, I determined to wipe the
whole thing from my memory, and
Travelled down TO Working with the in
tention of playing d round Of golf
[ was introduced by the secretary
to a resident of the place whose
name was James Stanfield, and we
mad a round which ranks amongst
The best 1 ever played in my life.
Stanfield was a silent but by no
means a gloomy person. He appeared
TO be about 40 years of age and an
absolute golf maniac. He played
every shot with the most ridiculous
care, but 1 must confess with also
the most wonderful precision. His
drives were never long, but : they
were long enough for him to escape
trouble, and in the approximate eighty
shots which he took to complete the
course, 1 cannot remember one that
was in any way fiuffed or fooled. He
beat me at the seventeenth hole, and
it was while we stood together upon
the eighteenth tee that the incident
happened which was to bring still
more excitement into the Cay.
On our right was a small plant
ing of shrubs through which wound
the path which my partner pointed
out to me as leading to his house. Our
attention was attracted by the con
tinued barking of a small dog which
had wandered from the adjacent foot
path. I had the curiosity to walk a
step or two into the shruhbery to see
what was the trouble. My companion,
hO"SNSi' VIII was d Lttle on my leIL,
was the first to discover the cause of
| the dogs excitement. At a little cry
from him 1 hurried to his side.
Stretched upon his back. with extend
ed arms, and small blue hole in his
forehead, we found the body of a man.
/ He was dead. but still warm, and by
an extraordinary chance I at once
recognized him. He was one of the
