When Junka recovered he
wanted 10 demolish Worth, but
there was a fortune in jewels to
dispose Of and Junka was a
realist. They settled on a sum
They knew they would do more
business together. They also
knew some day they would come
to blows again.
BY morning Liverpool was in
an uproar over the 70 b berry
Worth went to see his news
paper friends and talked about
the jewel robbery until one of
them asked him what he would
do If the robbery had happened
in New York.
THE first thing I'd do" he
told them, would be to send a
reporter around to some of the
locksmiths who might be willing
to make keys from wax impress
sions. II he found the right man
he could give a description of the
fellow who had the keys made.
All you have to do is show him
Cunningham's keys"
A reporter followed Adams
suggestion and not far from the
newspaper office, sure enough,
found the very man. The re-
porter took down the description
of the shabby, limping man with
a frowsy mustache and neither
of them dreamed that it was the
handsomely dressed but quie
man who accompanied the re-
porter.
The paper and Scotland Yard
gave Adam full credit for the
clue, though it did not lead them
anywhere.
Billiard married Kitty Flynn
and took her to Paris for the
honeymoon. Worth joined them
there. So far as Kitty knew,
Worth and her husband were
representatives OF important
American business concerns"

important politically, and all
treating her like royalty.
With a husband. true and ador-
ing, it was a paradise on earth,
but though she was honest to the
core, ii was a crooks paradise
and a crooks paradise is always
a FOOLS paradise.
| Adam Worth conceived the
idea of a rendezvous for Ameri-
cans in Paris, and he and Bull
lard opened the first American
bar there, a luxurious affair in
Rue Scribe. On the ground floor
the barroom was Respondent with
mahogany, mirrors, costly paint
ings and a gold piano at which
Billiard entertained.
The floor above was furnished
ostensibly to cater to rich Amer.
leans who wanted a place in
which TO relax and read. But in
less than a minute il could be
transformed into gambling
hall. Then if an electric buzzer
hidden behind the bar sounded.
on the floor above panels in the
furniture and in the walls opened
and in went the gambling para

The American Bar became a
