Twenty >ear* ***?? l' Pat Crowe iiud been unwise enough to appear anywhere in Washington, much !<*? at the office of the head ?f U* department of Justice, as he did r* cently to interview the eral, they would have grabbed him, and put him away for 100 years orw. lu those day. Patrick was about the most wanted fugitive anywhere on the face of the globe. On his head I wtt a price of $50,000 and there was no stipulation attached to the reward re gardlng the condition of the ?a Crowe when delivered t o. b. l>ead or alive it was all the sura* to justice. Holdup man, gun fighter, banfc thlef, train robber and kidnaper, l'at Crowe was a flvo-minute egg In' the t'"fete5l" /of crime. Physically powerful, his unusually Intelligent mind recklessness made him a particular ^y dangerous person. He put a mansa root on his career when he kidnaped the Oudahy boy, son of the meat packer, and separated the millionaire k from $25,000 in gold coin as ransom. All of that lies back In the fast dim mlng past, back in the thicke^ng shadows. Pat Crowe is u very differ mtAort of person nowadays The bhvck hair has turned snow white? ns 'white as the "snow" he denounces with the fire and fury of bis c?ltl^ temperament ? and there ar* haW * hundred tiny wrinkles crossing a criss-crossing the pink expanse of his good natured face. , Has Spiritual Rebirth. His physical strength hasn't wasted a great deal, and Pat would be a mean customer to handle In an rough and tumble. The big change, the whacking big metamorphosls. is in the innards of Patrick? a spiritual rebirth. The hard boiled egg and reckless criminal of 1002 is the gen i e, self-ordalned reformer of 1022, tre mendously interested in wvlng boy^ and young men from the viaoua habits he sees Increasing every day. ^ "Sleighridlng . to hell," ?ays * & Crowe, meaning that the drug habit is Increasing steadily and enormous y, for "sleighridlng" is one o t the pi turesque words in the argot of the dope fiend. It Is good, sound, slung, built on constructive rules that Llndley Murruy or Brander Matthews could scarcely sniff ttt *no. pu^rffJ tended). l(,or in this singular argot ??snow" means the "dope," the drug; for heroin, morphine and cocaine ar^ as white as the driven snow and th.e suggestion Is simple and effective. When a party of addicts meet to gether to whiff themselves into ob Uvlon the conceit has it that they are on a sleighing party, traveling snjoo^h ly over the "snow" And it is this frightful sleighridlng which will rul the republic, usserts Pat Crowe, unless the government at Washington takes hold with a strong hand, ? -There are 2,000,000 snow birds In the United States to-day," says 1 at, referring to the documents he went over the other day with Attorney Gen eral Daugberty. "They spend between $4,000,000 and $5,000,000 every day for the dope. There Is no question- but that the evil Is spreading or that It will continue to spread. Spreads Crime Like Pestilence. "Back of the traffic Is an Interna tlonal ring, one or two of whose mem hers I could almost name, and they are seized by hundreds ol agents to whom human life Is abso S than nothing. They are 'served by the cunning of serpents and the cruelty of wolves. ?The result Is that the heads of the snow Ting net something like $10, 000, JSo a year profit from the traffic In the United States alone.

The heads of th. .now ring are greater criminals than Judas Iscarlot. Their vendor, are be neath the level of white slavers.
