Even if he comes back there are plenty left on the eastern edge of the Tenderloin to hold up the pace he set. : “Every once in a while McClusky sends his bulls out to round up the hard-visaged crooks who hang out on Broadway and Seventh avenue, but he overlooks the soft-handed ‘con’ men who hang around the swell food foundries in Fifth avenue, There are more glad- rag young grafters doing business in the Tenderloin these days than ever before, and they operate as openly as though they had licenses from Mulberry street. “Go into an upper-register hotel on Fifth avenue any afternoon and you will find a gang of faultlessly attired youths sitting around smoking cigarettes and showing socks that make the rainbow look like a tank- ful of tar. Half the time you could take the whole bunch by the feet and shake thelr pockets inside out and there wouldn’t any more cash fall on the floor than you can find in an incandescent light bulb. At other times they have the pazaz in bundles that would block the rapid transit tunnel. “They never work, and they make as good a front qwhen they are broke as when they are upholstered with the long green.

The check goes back to the confiding geezer who has thought that he was buying wine for an inti- mate friend of the Vanderbilts, and he becomes deaf and dumb. He wouldn't make a holler for all the phony checks that could be shoved on him, because it would mean that everybody would be wise to him for s come-on. “Nearly all of the young’ grafters who make Fifth avenue their headquarters have a scheme. Now and then one of them gets sloughed, and it comes out that his parents are eminently reepectable people in Ala- bama or Ilinvis or Ohio or some other State remote from the salt air of the ocean, The political drag that. these guys can exercise through their folks is something nertis a wonder the proprietors of the hotels and res- taurants where these thieves hang out wouldn't give them the run,” said the Cigar Store Man. 3 “They would," replied the Man Higher Up, “but the MY LITTLE Boy, vere's | A.
