How the "Wireless" 1 Relieved ( Victims o1 isi Just Si: ^J".?_ 1 - . 1 ^=J -J ' "Old Stone?-Be Sur fusoly, yet not fulsomely apologetic, and In crisply polished piirascs, he introduced himself as one who had met Felix in a "hazard parlor" and had been attracted to hiin by his sphrtsmanlike hearing. Passing by he had noticed the manufacturer entering his placo of businesn and had recalled hirn at once. It was Impossible to withstand the temptation to renejv acquaintance, so ho had mado bold to enter. Felix was really glad to meet Tracy ?or Mr. Charles J. Tompkins, as tho "king" styled himself for this venture?and you needn't smile in a sarcastically superior way to see how easily the clever crook wormed his way into his victim's confidence. Tracy, just as he was saying goodly at the door, turned in a most casual way and expressed a polished regret I th.\t Felix did not have the time to learn of a magnificently good and "sure thing" that had been imparted to him by a gentleman "on honor" not to divulge a Binglo part of it. Felix had the time and insisted that he had It. Ho was already captivated by Tracy and was eager to discover how ho might become an associate of his visitor. This was the "sure thing:" E&LL+m. . -A NEW YORK.?Money flashing in big | wads; hoarse voices calling bets, telephone bells ringing; messengers dashing hither and thither; telegraph sounders clicking; excited groups circling about bulletin boards; everything in a tense yet subdued hubbub as John J. Felix hurried through the smoke-laden atmosphere and thrust $50,000 into the "Cashier" window of a fake poolroom to bet on a fako horse, running in a fnke race duly programmed to yield half a mll llon dollars by means of a fnke wire tapping scheme. It took in actual time just six ticks cf the clock for a talonlike-hand to reach through the "Cash-* ier" window, grub the $50,000 and Jerk the notes hack to tho other side of the partition. That was the last that Felix ever saw of his money. If was the afternoon of February 6, 1905, when this famous bet was made. The poolroom was very close to the old Fifth Avenue hotel, and it was fitted up to play tho plausible, poolroom part in a most-natural and convincing way. ...? ?* miu nu? n muuuiuciurer 01 musical instruments, with n place in East Thirty-first street, just off Fifth avenue. He was a man who took an interest in observing the various methods by which an opinion on a hazard might be backed with money. Somehow Felix's predilection for paying attention to pastimes of chance became known until it reached westward through Thirty-first street to the vicinity of Broadway, where men of rapid-fire gambling tondencies congregated. it also became known at the same tlmo that hidden in a secret compartment of the Felix office safe were 50 $1,000 bills, "Just aching to bo taken out for n walk," as the Broadway gamblers and crooks put it. IT THE corner of Fifth avenue and ?V Thirty-first street, four o'clock. February 5, 1905?the day before the $50,000 was grabbed by the taloo-like hand of the fake "Ftrtfiler"?an immaculately groomed and garbed genjtloman gave his mustache a final pull and a pat ns he mentally closed all the details necessary to properly approach Felix and acquire the $50,000. Tracy entered the Felix office the quintessence of urbane suavity. Pro IP"" V' vv: RT MTLL. SOUTH CAROLIHA i King' of Wiretappers One of tils f $50,000 k Seconds Hi e You Get It Right!" "You Bee, Mr. Felix, tliere'B a very close friend of nilne, a very close friend indeed, who Is In a position to give advanco information connected with Lorse racing. He can't give the information a long way ahead, you understand, not any more than you and I can give it. That's only a guess or an opinion when it's given that way. He gives, or can give, positive information immediately after the race is over?before anybody elBO gets it!" TRACY'S piercing glance seemed to look through Felix as ho uttered I the words "before anybody else gets it." The "king" saw at once by the intent expression of Felix that the bait had caught the fish at tho very first nibble. He went on: "Step back here, won't you, and sit down while you tell me more about it?" said Felix eagerly, for he saw possibilities in the preface that strongly appealed to his interest in hazards.' Tracy went further back in the place and sat down near the safe in which reposed tho $50,000 he was destined to got. "There isn't much more to say?I sec you about understand it all now," he said. "Yes?I see?how it can be done," answered Felix with coinurehenslve earnestness and a bettor's gleam in his eye. "Of course," purred on Tracy, "it may not seem to a great many that tho scheme is exactly square. Dut then you know, Mr. Felix, the whole horse racing game is not square. My friend Ib the soul of honor in all other things, Mr. Felix, but in this one matter he avers that it Is only paying these race-track-poolroom sharks back In their own coin. And I think I pretty nearly agree with him. A number of stock broker friends of mine are in on the scheme and are already making a good bit of. pocket money from it. giving my friend ' who retards tho information a decent percentage for his trouble. I'd like you to meet some of these brokers, Mr. ! Felix. What do you say to a little ; walk right now. I'll Introduce you as one of us, and they'll be quite free | with you. To prove It. juBt say laugh! lngly to them 'Retarded Information,' and you'll see them nod and wink | their knowledge of ^vhat you are talking about. There is not the slightest I reason, Mr. Felix, why you shouldn't be a very rich man in a very short while." ^ IOHT gladly Mr. Felix went with Mr. IIV Traey-Tcrtnpkinsao the Fifth Avenue hotel, a few blocks distant. Off j one of the main corridors was a suite | of stockbrokers' offices. Tracy pulled a key from his pocket, opened one of i the doors and ushered his companion within. It was a genuine stockbroker's oflflco, all right. Folix didn't know i it, but the brokor and his clerks had gone for the day. They hadn't tin* least idea who Mr. "Tompkins" was. j The key he used was a "skeleton." "I have a little cash I might try j on this scheme," said Felix to Tracy ; as they shook hands in parting. "Sup: pose I meet you tomorrow ancf bring ; it along. If the thing looks good I'd like to gg in it." "Surety, Mr. Felix, surely," said Tracy, with his breezy, well bred l smile that-was so captivating, "Just ns i you say. Try it out tomorrow. I intend to use the system myself. Watch me grow?as to pile. We'll go to a ' poolroom right near here. I'll have '"!? imi'"i in TiYintfirffiir - - : * +< T\ - - % r <?! gf>> .v *- * ' '.* *?. *> - - r ??ij? i [ qne of the clerks in the Fifth Avenue hotel broker's office keep at the tele! phone wire connected with the poolroom. Soon as my friend at the track opens the re'gular telegraph wire and iuv iuivi uiauuu ou utuv "o can apprise ua over the broker's wire of the winner the clerk in the office will call me up at the poolroom and I'll know how to place my bets. And, as I stated before, I'm bound to win You see how?" NEXT day?a fatal $50,000 day for Felix?he met Mr. Tompkins and was escorted to the "nearby pool- j room." It certainly had all the marks j of the genuine betting rendezvous. ! Everything was going on just as it is ' going on in poolrooms where there are no "wire-tapping" schemes afoot. It seemed that "Mr. Tompkins" had hardly time enough to walk from tho "Cashier's" window to the side of ! Felix before tho "telegraph operator" j announced in a loud voice, "Rollins- I by wins!" Instantly Tracy was surrounded by a group who congratulated j him. "Fine tip," and "Put us wise next titnr," were tho comments. Felix saw Tracy later hand in his "ticket" i to the "Cashier" and receive a veritable mountain of gold certificates in re turn. At least they looked like genuine money. The fact is, a few of the outside bills were tho regular notes is- \ sued by Uncle Sam's bureau of engraving. Felix felt an instant envy to think that another had got such a great haul of money that should have been his ?at least he should have won an much. He had cleaned his office safe of its $50,000 and it rested against his beating heart in the inside pocket of his waistcoat. Another race started. A number of beta wero made by men standing nround. They seemed bets, all right. The men went through the regular betting motions and it all looked proper to Felix. Some of the men pulled away fair sized "rolls" when the result was announced. THE telephone bell jingled again. "Mr. TompkinB is wanted right away," called the telephone attendant. Tracy fairly leaped to the booth. Felix followed him close, determined not to miss anything this time. Out popped Tracy, so quickly that Felix well might have wondered how he had time to get anything over the telephone. "What's the horse? What's the horse?" he urged of Tracy as the "king" went on a hop, skip and a Jump toward the "Cashier." "Old Stone?be sure you got it right ?Old Stone," snapped Tracy. Anybody in the room could have heard j what ho said, although he went ; through the pretense of putting his i lips close to the ear of Felix. The fact is they all did hour it. They knew Tracy was going to say It. Most of them already had their overcoats on and were edging toward the door of ! the "poolroom." Tracy stopped at the window a second. tugging at his pocket to unloos*en his wad. Felix couldn't wait for him, although the tip catue from him. He planked his roll of gold certificates down in front of the window and then thrust them through into the hand of the "Cashier." "Fifty thousand dollars on Old Stone!" He stood to win $500,000 on the wager! Felix was afraid the size of the bet might cause the proprietors to refuso it. He need not have been nervous. A ticket was thrown to him. For tho first time ho thought of having beaten "Mr. Tomrkins" to the window. Where was Mr. Tompkins, anyway? Nnwlinrp in oii>ht "Hurry call came for Mr. Tompkins?he had to go," said the telephone attendant, and Felix noticed he had his overcoat and hat on. "Funny he didn't stay to bet on that last race," said Felix In a puzzled way. "He had a pretty sure tip. I bet on It." "Oh. Mr. Tompkins is a truo sport," snid the attendant. "He figures what he don't got today he'll get tomorrow, flood day. That's the last raco. I'm going home." Felix waited until the "telegraph operator" called out, "Summertime wins!" You know how he felt and acted. Figure out how you would look in the "movies" if it suddenly dawned on you that you had lost $50,000 in six seconds. Hut ceme to think ; of it. no one can figure it out until ho actually loses it. Felix looked for the "Cashier" and lie had gone. He turned round to ask the "operator" a question and he was gone. Ry the time he wheeled about again the bettors were gone. TRACY had a very good start, for tho instant Felix placed his $50,000 in tho window, ho left the room by a back way, and opeuing a door bdhlnd the "Cashier" that active receiver of bets handed hint tho full Follx roll. Down to police headquarters hurried Felix. They threw out tho net "Ilig" Laweon, one of Tracy's chief associates, fled to Australia, whore he still is. After a hunt of several months they caught The "king." FTo was tried and convicted. You might think that this properly ends the chronicle. Not nt all: It only begins the strange part of it. Tracy had money and a good lawyer. He carried his cnso to the court of appeals of New York state. And a decision of this august tribunal released the "King of the Fake Wiretappers." Why, and "how? Ilecause Felix clearly intenddil to swindle as much as Tracy did. You must come into court with clean hands. "It pays to bo a predatory genius." said "King" Tracy as ho walked forth a free man upon the announcement of the court of appeals' decision. K?1 .J "*?
