By O. O. M'IN'TYRK.
New Tork, May 3 —A shuffling
figure of the underworld with a drag
ging leg and a withered arm appears
af police headquarters twice a week
He Is expiating a past in such a way
that even calloused criminal hunters
uro heartened.
A year ago he was one of the brood
of Broadway Jewelers whose little
shops are ''fences"—a hole In the wall
for thieves’ loot, lie participated In
n $350,000 Jewel robbery. In that he
received the plunder and bid It In his
safe.
The keenest sleuths were on the
rhas* but they found only Mind al
•ys. The Jeweler was going home
v night. There was a thump at the
imso of the brain and he sagged to
(he sidewalk, th# victim of a
paralytlo stroke.
While he was In the hospital an
assistant opened the safe and stole
the Jewels. When the jeweler re
covered sufficiently to discover his
loss he made underground overtures
to headquarters to return the jewels
In exchange for what he called
‘peace of mind.**
fie was given a chance. Bit by
bit he has made good. More than
$200,000 worth of the various Jew
els have been returned. He exacted
a promise that he should not be
shadowed and the polio* have kept
their word. They refuse to tell where
ho lives. They only say "uptown."
The underworld received word
from the Jeweler that th# doctor had
given him a short time to live—nine
months at most. "I want to go out
square,” ho wrote, "and I am going
to clean up my last Job. If those I
have 'stood by’ don't stand by me I
won't squeal but somebody is going
out with me.”
Tho denizens knew him as a man
of this word—one who would turn
klllpr If necessary. The Jewelry had
been broken up and distributed to
various other "fences" but piece by
place It is being recovered and taken
to "headquarters.
Nothing takes th# average man
back to the Stone Bruise Ago so
much as an old-fashioned cookie,
brhere Is a little cookie shop on
^^•nty-nlnth street that doe* a
thriving business. Children of this
generation do not patronize It. But
Its customers are mostly men past
middle age who go there to buy a
paper poke of cookies and perhaps
go to their home* to munch them and
drtam of the day* when th# world
we# young.
The speakeasy has found lodge
njfTit In many big skyaeraper* down
town. On the glass door may b* a
algn In gold letter* reading: "John
.Idpes, Cement Contractor.” Inalda a
rlerk or *o earrles on what look* a*
tlinugh It might he a legitimate httal
n«S«*, hut there Is another door always
locked Which may only he entered by
signal rap*.
"Rain” started a flood of play* de
r icting primitive, unvarnished life In
tit* 'irole*. Only on* other—"Whit*
Cargo"—has caught on. A* a result
a theatrical costumer ha* a window
tilted with South Sea Island costumes
with a sign reading: "Tropical cog
fume* at less than one third the orlg
ln«l cost.” ft ha* also been discov
ered that there Is only on- Hawaiian
orchestra in town. Si* years ago one
musical agency had di playing at
various resorts.
It la only K:. minutes by motor from
Ken ty second street to a village that
otter* tho peace of an Isolated village
that might he thousand* of mile*
little* away. There la the humble
wooden church and the little country
Isitirc where lounger* gather and chaff
*tg‘,flung from group to group. There
are old men rocking out their last
days on Ivy clad porch#*. Silver
haired women quietly knitting at
front room window'*. Chicken* pc k
n|s„it In the road. It Is the one spot
pikir New York not despoiled of small
tdjwn atmosphere by the automobile.

They gained Ihn beach; limy
reached Ihn ahlp whom very pret
ence hud continued unsuspected. Tim
breeze WAS fresh mid they stood nwny
at once, Hy AtinrlAA there won no
morn sign of them then Iheie hud
been at sunset, them wits no more
due to Ihn way they had taken then
to the way they had come. It waa ns
if they had dropped from Ihn nklea In
their awl ft, silent passage, but for
the absence of Tlosnmund and Lionel
Tressllian, the thing must have been
accounted no more than a dream of
those few who had witnessed It.
Aboard the caraek, Hakh el-Rnhr
bestowed Rosamund In the cabin over
the quarter, taking the precaution to
lock the door that led to the stern
gallery. Lionel he ordered 1o he
dropped Into a dark hole under the
hatchway, there to lie and meditate
upon the retrlhutlon thnt had over
taken him until such time as his
brother should have determined upon
his fate—for tills was n matter upon
which the renegade was still unde
cided.
Himself he lay under the stare that
night and thought of many things.
One of these things, which plays some
part In tha story, though it Is prob
able that it played but a slight one
In his tho.ughts, was begotten of the
words Othmant had used. Whnt, in
deed, would be Asad's welcome of
him on his rfiturn If he snJled Into
Algiers with nothing more to show
for that long voyage and the imperil
ing of the lives of two hundred True
helievers than Just two captives
whom he Intended, moreover, to re
tain for himself? What capitgl would
not he made out of that circum
stances by his enemies In Algiers and
by Asad’s Sicilian wife who hated
him with all tho bitterness of a ha
tred that had Its roots In the fertile
soil of jealousy?
Tills may have spurred him In the
cool dawn to a very daring and des
perate enterprise which Destiny sent
his way In the shape of a tall-masted
Dutchman homeward bound. He gave
chase, for all that he was full con
sclous that the battle he invited was
one of which his corsairs had no ex
perience, and one upon which they
must have hesitated to venture with
another leader than himself. Rut the
star of Rakh-el-Bahr was a star that
never led to aught but victory, and
their belief In him, the very Javelin
of Allah, overcame any doubts that
may have been begotten of finding
themselves upon an unfamlar craft
and on a rolling, unfamiliar aea.
This fight Is given In great detail
hy my Lord Henry from the particu
lars afforded him by Janper Leigh.
But It differs In no great particular
from other seafights, and It Is noqe of
my purpose to surfeit you with such
recitals. Knough to say that it was
stern and fierce, entailing great loss
to both combatants; that cannon
played little part In it, for knowing
the quality of his men Rakh el Bahr
made haste to run In end grapple.
He prevailed of course as he must
ever prevail hy the very force of his
personaJity and the might of his ex
ample. He was the first to leap
aboard the Dutchman, clad In mall
and whirling his great scimitar, and
his men poured after him shouting
his name and that of Allah in a
breath.
Ruch was ever his fury In an en
gagement thnt It infected nnd In
spired his followers. It did so now.
and the shrewd Dutchmen came to
perceive that this heathen horde was
as a body to which he supplied the
brain and soul. They attacked him
fiercely in groups. Intent at all costs
upon cutting him down, convinc'd
almost by Instinct thnt were he felled
Ihe victory would easily be theirs.
And In the end they succeeded. A
Dutch pike broke Borne links of his
