It was In tho good old days of tho
arly nineties when horso racing nour
ished udcr a kindlier law In Now
York than It docs today that Tom
Eagan had tho distinction of being ofTl
clal stationer and printer to tho book
makers and poolrooms of tho city. Ho
supplied them with pencils and pads,
blank books, Ink nnd record books and
did whatever printing their business
called for. Ho It was who printed tho
colored tickets Issued to thoso who
bet on the races In tho poolrooms or
on tho track. Theso tlckuts, which
were filled In at the tlmo of tho bet
ting, served as a record of tho transac
tion, and In case the bettor was lucky
ho received hlB winnings on presenta
tion of tho ticket.
Tom's business with tho poolrooms
nnd bookmakers had thriven nnd it
sccmod that tho neat little prollt from
printing the tickets would continue so
long us Tom Eagan continued to run
his printing presses.
One day, however, Mr. Eagan got
word that thero were counterfeiters at
work. Fake tickets were being print
ed and filled out to dupllcato Eagan's
tickets, and every once in a while win
nings went to a holder of tho fake
ticket instead of to tho real winner.
So betwocn Mr. Eagan nnd tho pool
room operators a new system had to
bo devised. Thereafter tickets wero
printed In several colors, according to
tho number of tho ticket. That Is, all
tickets numbering between ono and a
hundred should bo pink, all between
Rested His Camera
ono and two hundred should bo green,
and so on throughout tho list. Each
day a different color was used for a
different set of numbers, and as this
codo was communicated secretly to
the poolroom men It was hoped that in
this way they could detect tho fraudu
lent tickets.
Still tho trouble continued. Appar
ently tho dishonest printer printed his
slips on overy color of cardboard
overy day. Then when tho races wero
over tho mao who manipulated tho
fraudulent Uckots would manngo to
seo over tho shoulder ot tho holder of
the winning ticket, noto tho numbor
and tho color, select a ticket ot tho
right denomination and color from his
own collection, fill it in and, on pre
senting It to tho bookmaker or pool
room operator beforo tho lawful win
ner arrived, ho would get tho win
nings. Called In Frank Peyser.
Something had to bo dono and It
was clearly up to Eagan to think what
it should bo.
"I know who tho crook printer Is,"
ho told tho poolroom men", "but 1
haven't evidence enough to convict
him. However, I think I can stop the
Ihbuo ot tho fnko tickets." Then
Eagan eont for Frank Peyser, known
to bo ono of tho sharpest young race
track detectives.
, "1 have spotted the man who does
tho fake printing," he told Peyser,
"but 1 can't prove it, and I don't know
as it would do much good if 1 could.
What wo want to dovis to get a photo
graph of him and hnvo It sent to every
poolroom nnd every bookmnkrr in UiIb
part of tho country. Then they will
know him nnd enn steer clear of him.
Now, what I want you to do Is to get
tho photograph. Ho runs n printing
shop down on Droadwny and Twenty
soventh street." Engan told Peyser
tho name ot tho suspected printer nnd
Peyser said he would get tho photo
graph If anyone could.
First ho went to see the printer on
tho pretext of wanting to do some
business with him, taking caro not to
arouse his suspicions. Then, when ho
had secured his confidence, he went
to n nearby photographer.
"Thero Is a fellow around hero," he
told tho photographer, "whoso picture
l'vo got to hnvo. Ho Isn't anxious to
bo photographed, either. What 1 want
you to do is to hang out on Twenty
Bovdnth street nnd Hrondway and wait
till you see me. I'll come out about
noon with my friend nnd when you seo
us you can level tho camera and take
tho picture."
This agreed upon, Peyser went to
see tho printer, with whom he had al
ready arranged to hnvo luncheon. At
noon they rounded the corner of Twenty-seventh
street nnd Hroadway, Pey
ser talking eagerly to the printer aB
they walked along. Tho photographer
was seated on a bootblnck stand, hav
ing his shoes polished, camera In
hand, on tho opposite comer. Ho lov
oled tho camera at tho dishonest
printer nnd Peyser continued to talk
vigorously.
Unablo to get tho right focus from
tho bootblack stand, tho photographer
swung down nnd started out In the
street. Then ho rcBted his camera on
tho wheel of an express wagon that
happened to bo standing at a conven
ient dlstanco and started to focus
again.
"Say," said tho printer to Peyser,
"who Is that fellow over there and
why Is he 'mugging' me? What have
I dono that would make anyono want
a picture of mo?"
"You!" exclaimed' Peyser, with a
laugh. "Nobody's 'mugging' you.
Why, thero does seem to bo a camern
man, but how do you know he Isn't
aiming at mo? Guess I'd make as
good-looking a plcturo as you would."
"I don't llko it, anywny," said the
printer, and tho keen eyes of tho de
tectivo did not miss the nervouB coin-
on the Wheel.
prcsslon of his lips. Tho printer
pulled his wide-brimmed hat over his
faco and shrunk his chin down on his
breast. "They can got a plcturo of my
hat if they want it. That can't be
much good," ho growled.
Took the Photograph Himself.
After lunch, during which Peyser
tried to got the printer's mind oft tho
camera episode, ho left and hurried to
tho photographer.
"Sorry, Mr. Peyser," ho said, "but I
couldn't get any results. Your friend
pulled down his lint and that'e all I
could get." Ho held up tho dripping
ncgatlvo that ho had been developing
nnd showed only a blur of a hat that
would bo ot no uso as an Identifica
tion. Peyser hurried on with his discour
aging news to Eagan.
"What are you going to do about
it?" asked Eagan. "My poolroom and
bookmaklng business means a good
deal to mo nnd I'll loso it if wo don't
put a stop to thoso fake tickets. What
nro you going to do?"
"I am going to tako tho plcturo my
self," said Poysor, "and I am going to
hnvo It ready In forty-eight hours."
Tho next day when Peyser went to
finish his alleged business with tho
dishonest printer he was armed with
a camera of his own, only no ono could
seo It. Tho camera was a. diminutive
I instrument hidden uuder tho lapel ot
his coat and tho eye or tho Ions wna
arranged Just under the buttonhole. A
rubber tubo that worked the shutter
ended In a bulb ttlnred n Peyscr'rf
pocket. Again Peyser called at noon
and started out with tho printer when
ho went to lunch. Ho led tho printer
Into tho sunshine on tho pretoxt of
wanting to sec something on tho sunny
slilo of the street. They wnlked leis
urely along, Peyser with his hand on
tho bulb In his pocket.
"Funny thing about that photos
rapher yesterday," the printer began
"I would llko to know what anyone
wants to get my picture for. I thought
for a while that maybe you had some
thing to do with It."
"Say, you talk like a pickpocket,"
laughed Peyser, his hand still on the
bulb. "Only pickpockets and thieves
get nervous when they have their pic
tures taken. If 1 didn't know you I'd
nlmost think you had something henvy
weighing on our conscience. Hut ub
for mo having anything to do with
say. haven't I treated you fair?"
"Sum you have," said tho printer
Ho faced Peyser eagerly as ho spoke.
Peyser's hand In Ills pocket closed
over tho bulb. There was a sound of
a click, drowned by tho dishonest
man's voice. "Suro you have never
pulled anything off on me. You're all
right." '
Within twenty-four hours tho picture
had been developed and printed, en
larged and copied and was in tho
hands of every poolroom operator and
bookmaker anywhere within a radius
of a hundred miles of New York, and
was on Its wny all over the country.
Tho next timn the fraudulent printer
tried to play the races ho found n cold
welcome, and before mnny weeks had
passed ho had mnda up his mind that
there was more money In printing
menus for local rcstuurauts nnd pro
grams for cheap shows on Hrondway
than there waB in making green and
pink nnd blue nnd yellow tickets for
tho race track.
Early Acquaintance With Crooks.
This was Just one of tho mnny do
tectivo games In which tho clever
young detective, Frank Peyser, showed
his ability to protect the public on tho
race track. Ho began llfo on tho East
side In New York, and very early In
llfo made the acquaintance ot some of
tho most notorious thieves nnd crooks
of tho city. After school hours ns a
boy he used to meet them and listen
to their conversation. They wore
cleverer than the other people he knew
on the East sldo and they interested
him, but contact with them fostered
no deslro within him to emulate their
ways.
One day about tho time ho left
school ono of these rough acquaint
ances of his asked him to tako a walk
up Broadway with him. Peyser ac
cepted the invitation. They walked
up through the Howcry and then, as
tho evening shndes began to gather,
they turned into Hroadway, crowded
with men and women pressing home
ward after work. Suddenly, as they
pressed near to a man in tho crowd,
Peyser saw his companion's hnnd rlsn
nnd stealthily close over a meerschaum
plpo that fallowed its rich hues over
tho top of a pedestrian's pocket.
Though still nlad, Peyser knew that
If ho were caught In compnny with a
pickpocket tho fact that he himself
waB Innocent wouldn't bo of much
avail at the police station. As his
companion pocketed the valuable plpo
u cold terror seied Peyser and ho did
Just what any other normal boy would
havo dono under similar circum
stances. Ho ran, and ho went right on
running till ho didn't hnvo breath
enough to run liny farther. When ho
camo to a stop his mind was made up.
Ho had decided that whatever his fu
ture calling might be, ho would never
bo a crook of a thief.
When, a llttlo Inter, Frank Peyser
applied nt the Pinkerton detective
agency In New York city for a posi
tion, his previous experience on tho
East side qualified him for immediate
employment in the race-track depart
ment of the agency.
Success In Department 8tores.
In this position ho was on duty at all
tho big race tracks, nt Hclmont park,
at Jamaica, at Sheepshead Hay, Brigh
ton Beach, Qravesend and Morris
park, on the lookout for pickpockets
and dlshoneBt bookmakers. So suc
cessful was he In handling pickpockets
that after six years with tho Pinker-
tons ho was callod by tho New York
Wanamaker store. This work required
greater skill even than tho race-track
work, for It is better, nccordlng to tho
department Btoro creed, to let ton
shoplifters go than to make ono falso
arrest. However, Mr. Peyser was no
blunderer and in tho thirteen years he
worked in that department storo his
employers didn't havo to pay a cent
for damages and falso arrests made by
him.
Ono of tho first things that Mr. Pey
ser always aBked the amateur shop
lifter when ho had taken her to his
office in the department storo and had
forced a confession was concerning her
health. "Are you in tho hands of a
doctor?" ho would sny, nnd then, "Are
you taking medicine for your ail
ment?" Usually the answer to theso ques
tions would como In tho affirmative.
Then Mr. Peyser would nsk to exam
lno tho mcdlclno beforo going further
with tho nrresL Usually a whiff of It
would bo enough. It would tell him
that tho offender wns unwittingly un
der tho Influence' of opium or etlior,
nnd in nine cases out of ten the poi
sonous drug was taken as a mcdlclno,
In theso cases Mr. Peyser would usu
ally let his offender go
Mr. Poyser Is now at tho head of a
detective buieau of his own and from
his offices, overlooking tho busiest sec
tion of Broadway, directs work all
over tho city.

"Why. yes, little one." Fred re

Ingly calm.
"Well, you'll never bo a great sur

"Again, why not?" Fred smiled,
condescendingly.
"You a surgeon like father!" May
cried, vehemently. "Why, you big

Nobody but father cnught tho sig

he didn't mention It.
