The yale ing World's My Fifth Day’s Adventures. it - By the Mysterious Mr. Rafileg, ' Duvid Bolasco, playwright, theatrical manager and foe of the Trust, was given an opportunity yesterday Ww win the $100 reward offered by The Hvening Worlt for the capture of the Mysterious Mr. Raffles, who's me. ‘That Mr, Belasco is keen none oan deny, Yet in the @lare of midday, with the attendant effect of policemen, detectives and throngs of gay villagers circling about us, I talked to him at the corner of Forty-second street and Broadway, and he failed to nab me, To be sure, my approach was not heralded by a brass band or a squad of mounted police; it was unnecessary, for I am practically as well known at that corner of in hattan ds is the man I was interviewing, ‘Mr, Belusoo was crossing Broadway when I saw him, and I hati to hurry a full blook before I caught him. I recalled a previous meeting when I was able to do him a favorable turn, and thon we talked for some time on the safety of the Belasco Theatre, which, as everybody knows, was pronounced one of the safest in New York ‘at the time of the crusade following the Iroquois Theatre fire in Chicago. ‘Yet Mr. Belasco never suspected my ren! {dentity, Gowever, he is only one of hundreds I have talked with since starting on my wanderings through Greater New ork with a reward of $100 for my identification. Hotel clerks, cabmen, waiters and'men with whom T have associated for years pass me by without so much as the slightest nod of recognition, and yet I have as- sume no disguise and my picture ie well known to all, For more than twelve hours yesterday I walked and rede about the streets of Manhattan, and not once was I _Home Mogozine, Saturday Evening, June 8 Dicked out for the man for whom the majority in Greater New York is now searching. T stood in front’of a large billboard up on One Hun- dred and Tenth street on which was posted a life-size picture of myself. I stopped because two m were ‘pointing at the poster, and as I stood a foot behind them I overheard one of the mon say: ‘ “I'd like to bet The Hvening World { could pick that guy out of a cfowd anywhere, The only. trouble about the game is {t is too hard to go looking for him,” At that moment I was seised with a violent attack of| coughing, which caused the man who wanted to bet to turn end look me over. That was all the good it did him, however, for with a “Come on, Bill, let’s ramble,” he started toward Fifth avenue. At another time I jumped on a Forty-second stroet crosstown ear at Seventh avenue, going west, and landed amidships of Fireman No, 1925, who stood on the rear platform talking to Conductor No, 1089 and Policeman No, 4487, of the Kighth Preeinct, After straightening myself out I acotdentally stepped on the policeman’s foot; for all of which I was shoved inst e car. Ite number incidentally was 1287, Did these three men have a good look at me? Well, I guess they did, judging from the conversation directed at mo until the car reached Tenth avenue, where I alighted. fi BB they. all failed to recognise the Mysterious Mr. ames, Later, during the rainstorm, I sat for an hour in the er garden of the Parkway Inn, Fifth avenue ‘yndred and Tenth street, but attracted no special attention, although threes men who sat at an ad- joining table hed a copy of The Fivening World spread out, and one read aloud the story of my Thursday's ad- ventures, Down on Broadway it was just same, Crowds of and very few paying people, all looking at somebody e! any attention to me, Mven the policemen refused to pay the slightest attention to me, Down at Chambers street I arrived just in time to see The “Little Black Man Helps Ten to Win Prizes.
