My Fourteenth and Fifteenth Days’ Adventures. By the Mysterious Mr. Rafiles. to the Four Raffles Pointers. ‘The Mysterious Mr. Raffles’s height is 5 ft, 7 inches, me The Mysterious Mr, Raffles’s weight is 130 Ibs, His eyes are dark brown, His hair is dark brown, slightly mixed with gray. Funny thing you didn’t see me down at Midland Beach yesterday. Gave everybody the finest. chance imaginable to win | that hundred, but the crowd, including a fine bunch of| police and detective sergeants, all missed it. Anybody who can ride on a Staten Island ferry~hont, | while about everybody on board {s armed with his ple-| ture and everybody on the lookout for him, and "get way with it, must be pretty*good. That happened yesterday, and me, Percival Plcikle- face, otherwise the Wise Guy, slid closely and unob- | werved, by the thousands who somehow had got'the tip| that I was Gooked for Staten Island, | To sit on the guard rail of the ferry-boat Stapleton, | | surrounded by four mien, all discussing the possibilities, of my capture, Join with them in talking as to where | and how to get myself, swap cigars and furnish matches to the crowd, and then fade away without any of the sleuths getting next, is the tind of work Mulberry street will clase as "fairly good.” Some Real Raffles Nerve. To walk into the rallroad station at Midland Beach, Where three men, one of whom {8 a detective sergeant from Mulberry etree, hear them discuss tho fact that “Raffles is sure to bo In Staten Island to-day,” ask the eopper who Raffles is, and get the reply “Aw, he's a | 4 As a matter of fact T have Before relating my adventures of yesterday I want impreas this fact upon those who are Interested in search now being made throughout Greater New York for the Mysterious Mr, Raffles, Will Not Deny Identity, I hnve recelved many letters during the past two weeks from people complaining that thoy have addressed on the street’and [ hayo denied my identity. Study These Carefully and They May Help You to Win the $100. The simplest solution of this matter is to send in to ken no partionlar pre- | cautions to conceal my identity other than changing my clothes, and this to demonstrate that the police method | is to rely on tho clothing for identification, and that IL is rubbish, | day fer The Evening World. git all that’s comin’ to him, you bet.” Mulberry street might possibly | wise guy wot's comin’ down to turn this place over to-| Fe shows up here he'll The Evening World office with your complaint a com- plete description of the clothes worn by the man whom } you declare to be the Mysterious Mr, Raffles. call that “pretty! ‘That will end all argument, ‘as The Hvening World has rd strong,” but to go in bathing and have to get fished| ™y description on file from day to day, and sf you just out by a couple of life-guards and then have two police-| 4 men maul me about tn an effort to restore the “simple | i life,” and still keep my identity under cover—well, the| sleuths up in Mulberry street might call that “going ‘ the limit.” u If I want to get captured in this town ft’s a cinch fl have to walk around with a sign posted on my back| my declaring I am “The Mysterious Mr, Raffles.” During the two wooks J have been at liberty I have! in talked to no less than a thousand different persons, I| thr have gone in restaurants three times a day and slept in Manhattan every night. | eines | wh w Cashel Byron’s Profession, By G.

I will not deny identity. And personally I think I could remain undiscovered Greater New York all summer unless I slipped up ‘ough carelessness, Here are a few instances that cause me to think so: Remember that man in his shirt sleeves who carried (By Permindca| of Georges Munro's fons, te man, who, having received a sharp| "Come, come,” sad Cashel Byron, Gopyight. 1808 by George Munro's Sona) Kick on the ankle, was ating by Lydia's. | admonitority, Mout Beiter keep your justice tn according tthe aggressor| motith clean sf you wish fo your x CHAPTER I tiseatentnaty Que bine If lked teeth inskie it, Never you mind ‘who ih i ere ue with & starting gah one al alanmed, fo? he hastl- offers to do an; i fon th MAg Rpente? { A Man of Mystery, as he refrained: tr yf Zyl: | the toes of 4 eitind thliny “and ex: et OARNW, heiress, had come | thet to her, he honesty Saline, yoving’ Sime other Of with hts h up to town from her country seat, | Shatms he ‘had’ depen: ‘BON Nake 1 Wiltatoken Castie, for a few weeks | studied tponeratiany nate ort vie il Mets ee Psi forbay to of the London season.

You remember, Miss Hanlon, of Jersey City, how you crossed over and played with one of the little tots, asking her how ehe would like to go down to Coney Island? ss They Missed that $100, Remember the chap sitting on the camp stool who looked at a bright, now, shiny tin watch and told you {t was 10 minutes past 10? That's the chap you wera on the lookout for, Sorry you lost the hundred, but lake my tip and try again, How about the youth who managed to tumble off the the bristling red mustache? The stolt man was o sleuth from Mulberry streot, and I played the part of the human torpedo. Much obliged, sergeant, for helping me up, but why didn’t you grab off the hundred? Remember the young chap at the rife range who nearly put the joint out of bubiness winning olgars? Quite a crowd watched the sport, but all failed to grasp the fact that it was Raffles who ‘was getting the smokers, Remember the old lady, Mr, Policeman with a white handkerchief around your neck, who said she had lost her grandson? Also remember the young fellow you ‘asked to go down the beach and “take a look?” 1 was it. Midland Beach was to me more or less of a disap- pointment. There was @ good-sized crowd there, to be fure, but there wasn’t enough doing to make it worth while, particularly after I discovered that there was ab- solutely no chance of my being captured. Gave All a Fair Chance, If I overlooked giving everybody who was on my trail down there yesterday a good fair chance of iden- tifying me, it can be reckoned as an oversight, as I certainly went after everybody ‘who looked to. me as though they were on my trail, But it was no use} they oll wanted the hundred, but they couldn’t win {t on the level, and that's the only way it can be won, To Bill Ferguson, Tom Fredericks, Charile Stal and Harry Pdwards, all of the Bronx, who confided to me their intention of capturing Raffies, I extend the hand of sympathy, There was $25 apiece, boys, that you fafled to collect, but don’t tell any one that the chap who talked with you on the train on the way to Midland Beach was tho Mysterious Mr, Raffles or you won't hear the end of it. in addition to Midland Beach I took a ride on the Coney Teland bonta yeaterday afternoon, and in the ning went up to Fort George. Just the same result— everybody failed to capture me and win the $100 reward. ‘This is the trail I followed yesterday: Took a car at Fourteenth street and Broadway at 9.16 for Gouth Ferry and crossed to Staten Island on ferry-boat Stapleton, reaching St, George at 19.20. Took train for Midland Beach, and was there until 1 o'clock, Reached Battery again at 1.45 and took 2 o'clock boat for Coney Island, remaining on the boat Taurus and returning to the Twenty-third street pier in Manhattan, Then took elevated to One Hrundred and Twenty-fifth street, changed to a surface car and arrived at Fort when I came down town on @ Brooklyn Avenue surface car, Down at Midland Beach, When 1 arrived at Midland Beach the crowd rather Mght.
