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:"

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.

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

gamblers and crooks put it.

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

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.
