THE KINGD GEMS ARE F + Here’s the Story of Bill Butts, the Boy Detec- tive, of the Great Sleuth's Feat. HOW THE SPARKS CAME BACK, Or, i THE RETURN OF THE KINGDON JEWELS. By BILL BUTTS, THE BOY DETECTIVE. CHAPTER I. Ting-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling! ‘ Thus rang the door bell in the home of the famous detective, James Vallely. TAKE EM Away: Mrs. Vallely, who had been pollsh- ing her husband's diamond stud with a shoe brush, went to the front door. A boy about thirty-seven years old was standing on the stoop. One side of his face was clean- shaven. On the other s..e he wore what Mrs. Vallely took to be a stiff black beard. He wore a gold cap and a plug hat, A pair of overalls several sizes too Jarge cncased his lower limbs, On his feet he had rubber boots, A full-dress coat and a green sweater completed his attire. “Is this the residence of James Vallely, the renowned sleuth?” asked the stranger in a peculiar voice. “Why do you ask “Pecause I want to know,” “But supposing I should not tell?” “Then I shall look in the city di- rectory.” Mrs, Valiely shuddered, “Then this is where your husband lives?” persisted the stranger, taking his whiskers from the left side of his face and putting them on the right. “It: 1s," responded the - intrepid woman. Without another word small package. CabT a) SY 2 the mysterious stranger placed in her hands a CHAPTER Tl. Capt. Titus, Ohief of the Detective Bureau, ing-room of his home. He wore an attitude of deep dejection. His corned beef and cabbage was untasted. ‘urses on the cards,” he muttered, “that fortune teller steered me wrong.” A sound at the door caused him to start. Suddenly a man entered room, It was James Vallely, the dotec- tive, In his hand he held a small pack- age. This in itself was remarkable. Detectives do not usually carry their packages in thoir hands, “You have not e@ten your din- ner, sald Capt. Titus, sternly, , Bat at the table in the din- the ‘Toe “How do you know 7” ‘ “Because there is no soup on your shirt front.” James Vallely smiled, Then he glanced stealthily about the room. “Did the guy come with the box?” asked the Chief. “He did.” “What was in it?’ “Tife Kingdon jewels, stolen from the mother-in-law of George Gould in the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel an the morning of June 3, between the hours of 5 and 9 o'slock.” “Were they all there?” “Every one.” “Let us see the box.” Yallely handed over the mysterious package the Stranger had left at his house. “You have opened it,” remarked the Chief. “How could you tell?” “Because it is wrapped up different.” CHAPTER Il. All was excitement in Police Headquarters. Messengers ran In every direction, hunting newspaper reporters, At last the young men of the press were gathered in the Detective Bu- reau. Capt. Titus appeared, With him was James Vallely, the detective. “Are you all here?” asked Capt. ‘Titus, “We are,” answered the reporters, “Then Hsten and I shall tell you the story of th mysterious recovery of the Kingdon jewels, “A strange man left them at {Vallely’s house this afternoon. “Vallely brought them to me. “To-morrow I shall give them to Mrs. Kingdo: “Has anything like this ever happened before porters. “Never.” “Have you caught the thieves?” “Certainly not.” CERYAINLY WoT asked one of the re- THE END, NICARAGUA VOLCANOES. | POLICY (Correspondence of Associated Press.)

HE WON'T BE ALLOWED TO OPEN UP. “Vice and crime are not going to exist in this precinct. ALL THE LAW-BREAKERS MUST GO! In this declaration Capt. Miles O'Reilly, the “Terror” from Brooklyn. transferred to the Oak street station hy Commissioner Partridge, declared permanent war to-day on all gambling in his precinct. 2 Most notable, perhaps, is the Cap- |tain’s unequivocal statement concern- ing De Lacey's. De Lacey's Park Row pool-room is one of the oldest in the city. Despite “shake-ups,” crusades and reform movements fn the past, De Lacey has reniained at the same old stand, and his place was open for business when all other downtown pool-rooms were closed. “1 KNOW DE LACEY.” O'Reilly asked Patrolman Nolan, as the.men were lined up before him to-day for instructions in the’ Csp- tain's crusade, Te Lacey's is on Nolan's “beat.” “No,” answered Nolan. “How long have you been here?” “Five years.” “Weill, Roundsman Ahrens,” said the Captain, turning to that officer, “you introduce this man to De Lacey the first chance you get, and have him watch him closely. “IT have been here only twenty-four hours, and I know De Lacey. He is not going to be allowed to open up, “IT understand that there are some policy shops in the lower end of the precinct, I want you men to close them up. “Whenever you see an un tal number of men golng into a candy store or a tobacco store, I want you to investigate carefully. “Vice and crime are not going to exist in this precinct.” Later in the afternoon Capt. O'Reilly said to an Evening World reporter: “There simply will be no pool- rooms in this precinct. Personally.1 know little of De Lacey's place, but if he thinks he can do business he is mistaken. ACTION AT ONCE. “If any person will bring me evidence of a pool-room I assure you !t will not be doing business an hour after the in- | formation is presented. “In my tour of the'precinot last night |L found everything orderly, The sa- loons, with the exception of those that | | have all-nigh® *icenses, were closed. In | Cherry street resorts where I had been | told disorderly persons gathered, the tables weré piled up last night and there was no nolse.” Evidence that Capt, O'Reilly had frightened the gamblers into a ante was plain Jn the neighborhood of Park Row to-day long before ¢he hour for | the ruaning of the first race. Every few yards there were keen-lwoking men who were evidently on the lookout for | new wardmen, A man with the earmarks of a ward- man new to the precinct was watched aud followed, Nearly all the places, including De | Lacey's, were closed, | NO FRICTION. | Commissioner Partridge to-day denied | the reports of friction between himself and Mayor Low regardng the shake-up, He said: “Why is this talk about friction be. tween the Mayor and myself continued?

I’m a broker, not a gambler” That's what Peter De Lacey said when asked if Capt. Miles O'Reilly had closed up his pool-room at No. 33 Park row. “I don't know this new police official,” De Lacey said. “He certainly can't mean me when he says I must move out of his precinct. He has some one else in mind. T coudn': move if I wanted to. I heve leased these rooms for five years yet, and besides he would have to move all of Wall street if he moves me.” But the place was closed tight, no reports of races were received and no bets made, os PANIC CAUSED BY A WASHINGTON.

He proposes giving them & series of lectures on “How to Be a Peliceman and How to Act and Look Like One.” He gave the first lecture of the series to-day. “You men muat shine your shoes and keep them shined,” he auld. “I don't care if the | roads out this way are dusty; it's up to you to keep a shine on all the time.

The local club wants a team that will be worthy of the name of New York. No expense is to be spared in the collecting of expert exponents of the nationa} game, and any day from now on one can expect to see new names adorn the Glants’ batting order. That is what Mr. Freedman says.
