"A friend of mine who wrltte play came
to me tha other day and told me that he
wanted me to do a little collaborating with
him." said an experienced racing man.
"When he unreeled what ha wanted of
ma I got In willingly enough, for It looked
kind of Interesting.
He' a writing a horse racing play and
he's making the hlg feature a poolroom
aoena. What he wanted of me wa to get
the poolroom color.
"The work got me In a amoke dream
over aome kinky call-offs that I've listened
to In poolrooms the country over Hnce I
first found out what past performances
meant. '
"The bluest dump that I ever saw a
whole roomful of men stand for hippened
In a poolroom In Sausallto, across the bay
from. San Francisco, seven or eight yeirs
ago. It wasn't the biggest In the bundle
lht all hands dropped though that was
a hnp Item, too but tn the ornery way
that the sklda were pulled from beneith
tha bunch.
"There Was a race at Louisville, In which
the afterward famous Hanastar, then a
2-year-old, was booked to go for the first
time. Tha tip on Hanastar was all over
the country, and particularly strong on
the coast.
"There were about men In the room
when tha first Una oame tn on that race,
nnd when Hanastar was chalked up at
( to 1 they buffaloed each other to make
tha ticket writing counters. The favorite
In the race was a tried trick named Ban
ished, that. Inter on, couldn't beat a hair
In Banaatar's hide. Banished was a 4 to 5
thing. But the crowd was all fur the Ban
as(ar soft money at 6 to 1.
"I don't believe the room took In a 15
note on the favorite. But when post time
came around the room stood to disconnect
the. wires, turn off the electric fans, slap
up the shutters and go right Into sudden
and eternal liquidation In case Banastar
copped.
"And that's the way It was rlgg!d when
tha key trouncer, a big man with a more
leathery throat than Jack Adler owns, gave
the They're off at Louisville' bawl.
A Chance of Icene.
"Banastar was leading all the way by
four lengths, and when he was still four
lengths In tha stretch the proprietor of the
room' petulantly tossed a paper weight
through tha glass door of his private office
and growled at his manager that he could
be hunting for ' motor man's work oh'the
morrow.
"The 800 chaps wha - had gone -to the
Banastar twist-Up with all the rags nnd
old Iron and bottles' coin they could dig
were Just rolling on the floor, a lot of
them, with the pure ecstasy of the slttm
tion. Tne cautious ones - who hud to be
shown were watching the mouth of the
Inger-out us if he'd been a judge about
to dish them out their sentences.
"After Bannstur led into the stretch by
four lengths the key stopped working for
.a. few seconds. Then tha sounder got to
.trilling agnln.
" 'Winner, Banastar!' yelled the operator.
J--.J' About half of the 800 started te box
iind wrestle and Jump on each other's lints
over the success of the great thing. But
In the middle of all this they heurd the
bull voice of the operator, who stood u.
on his platform to give his lungs full play;
'" 'Banished gets It by a Up!' he shouted.
'Banastar second!'
"I've seen 'cm rolling out of the gate and
toward home with a lot of the baby blue
tint on their maps In my time, but I never
saw 800 men curl up llko cuterplllurs before
!A' grate fire llko those 800 did. It was the
quickest transformation from rapture to
gloom that ever came under my notice, and
there's good reason why the recollection
of It should stick along with me, for I had

stove and the bath room oil cloth.

J'l went over from Cincinnati to Coving
ton one to get a lift down on Billy Oliver's
horse, Warrenton. It was a long distance
raca on one of the Jcw York tracks.
"Warrenton didn't look the winner on
peper figures, but I had heard something
and I decided to go to It with all the loose
Junk then on me. When I made the Cov
ington room I found that the whole push
had tha Warrenton steer, but that didn't
make It look any the worse, although It
put a crimp in the price.
"Warrenton was a 10 to 1 whls at the
track, but ' the beat the Covington people
would scrspe on the board, In view of the
aU-hands-around tip, was 6 to 1. I took
that with all the change I knew, and fig
ured to put the room $3,000 to the worse on
my own little ticket If Warrenton should
connect.
"The room shut down on Warrenton bets
when the sheet writers had written 260,000
worth of the thing. The Covington room

but they knew when they had enouch of a
good thing.
"The operator hurled it at us that they
were off when they key began to fuss, and
named us the three cockroaches .that had
sailed out to do the hading. Those three
were atlll Juggling for the front at the
quarter, when, after calling off their names,
the operator made a morgue of the room
ana a slub-stiff of me particularly,' by
howling:
" 'Warrenton was left at the post!"
"The keno cracks thnt those Porkopolis
players lot out of their systems over that
announcement didn't aerva to get ma out
of my atun. I was walking toward the
poolroom door, .bubbling to myself Xbont
shoemaker starters nnd barrier bulldozers
and things Ilka that, when. With my hand
on the knob to go out, I decided that I
might as well wait a few seconds to find
out the name of the winner, anyway.
"I'll let you Hx up your own mental pastel
of the kind of a mob there was In that
Covington room when the operator, with a
look of .nstonlshmont on his chart and a
mouth all drawn sideways, called out:
" 'Warrenton wins, easy, by four lengths!'
"It was the high kite, instantly, for
every man In tha room, but yet it seemed
unbelievable. The operator himself didn't
look as if he believed It.
" 'Get that again!' the proprietor of the
room bellowed at the operator. 'Cut out
the dossing and get It right!'
"The operator began to hammer his key,
and In a minute he had the reply. -
" 'It's all right,' he sung out. 'Warren
ton wins. lie was left at the post at that
and standing atlll turned the wrong way,
but he snags by the four lengths.'
"Nobody going out of that Covington
room that afternoon looked as If he had
ben made the Patsy except the proprietor
of the plant. -
Freak Mare Breaks the Bank,
in a South Chicagq poolroom, nve or
six years ago, I saw a red-headed natural
born financier take a chance and stand to
haul down a large thing or to accept a
dtep dent on a twU that was going on
several hundred miles away at the old Fair
Grounds track in St. Louis.'
"The town had been rocking with one
pf those go-to-lt-the-tlrst-tlms-out tips on
Tulla Fonso, a mare that spent her days
Jogging around the. St. Louis tracks, and
sik-h a crazy actor that during a great
part of her career she was barred . In the
betting.
"There were about 1,W0 men packed la
the huge South Chicago room on the day
tho Tulla Fonso mare went after a long
retirement, and when the chalk showed
her to be a W-to-1 grab they all loped for
the price until the books were tilled to the
gun'ls end the room refused to take any
more of It. When the shutdown came
around the room stood to get at leaat q
75,(KJ guuge should the craiy mare connect
first with the tape line.
"She conneoted all right, but Immediately
after the announcement of the result the
operator gave the screech:
" 'There's a kick on thut St. Loo race.
Foul claimed against Tulla Fonso.'
"The red-topped financier hadn't bet a
dollar on the race. He was a noted hand
book man, and still is. out in the big mud
mug town, and a chance-taker from away
back In the deep embowered.
"He aaw the Tulla Fonao peopla ehrlvel

wears the throat-latch,' the bunch were
saying to each other . She's a bum and a
bug at the post and In the race and nrnh.
ably she's knocked eight or ten hnr...
down. Tulla's name Is glue.'
"It sure looked that way. at that There
was no reason for anybody familiar with
the character and conduct of Tulla to im

when the betting came along, and tens of
thousands went down In the Hot Springs
rooms for the horse to show.
"'Yellow Tall wins!' sung out all the

Yellow Tall.'
"Then the plungers who had gone to the

themselves over' the fact that they hadn't

" 'Yellow Tall Is disqualified,' chirruped
the operator a little while later, and then

up on the counters and gave the glaij yell

Yellow Tall horse to show and they couldn't

the operator, 'and Is placed third.'

The old special agent with the grizzled
muatacha took his cigar out of his mouth,
regarded It critically for a moment, and
then said slowly:
"I'm, yes; I suppose they have all sorts
of new tricks and are constantly devising
others, and I don't doubt that they succeed
In beating the customs house officers every
now and then. But they don't seem to be
doing anything spectacular Just now per
haps they're uncaugbt aa yet.
"You know, these people who make a
business of smuggling, and I mean the peo
ple who try to bring In thousands of dollars
worth of things at a time, are as keen a
a knife blade. They're not ordinary peo
ple; they've got all the daring and inge
nuity of the old-time successful cracksmen,
and It takes a mighty good man ot get
ahead of them. Sometimes the customs
hoise people, even the special agents of
the treasury, are dead up against It when
It comes to dealing with this cool and.clever
class of crooks. '
','Now, Just let me give you an example
of the astuteness ot one of them, at least.
It will show you the sort of thing we had
to deal with In the past. .
"One day a cablegram reached the Treas
ury department, signed with the name of
a treasury agent In France, stating that a
certain passenger on a certain steamer
bound for New York had with htm about
50.0"0 worth of fine diamonds which he In
tended to smuggle Into the country. A full
description of the man accompanied the
notification as well as a general description
of the stone. The steamer and the state
room occupied by the passenger were noted,
and we were warned that he might attempt
to change his appearance by removing his
beard, which was full and pointed at the
time the steamer aalled.
"The most Interesting part of the mes
sage was the statement that the passenger
would probably have the gems concealed
beneath a porous plaster spread across the
mall of his back. Therefore we were not
to listen to any of his protestations of In
nocence, nor to his eagerness to have his
baggage examined )n order to establish
that Innocence. We were to take him Into
his. stateroom and undress him and pull oft
the plaster.
"We had much amusement over the cable,
gram and also at the new variation of an
absurdly old device for smuggling, because
time and time again dutiable things had
been found wrapped In bandages which
concealed supposed Injuries. We also pic
tured the dismay of the man when we
(hould get down to his kln, as it were.
Aa Artist la Hie Craft.
"In due season the steamer arrived, and
with it the passenger against whom we had
been warned. There he was, and he had
actually reduced his beard to a pair of
thin aide whiskers and removed his mous
tache. We inquired and found that he had
made no mention of diamonds upon the deo
claratlon before the inspector.
"Before he had a chance to get ashore
one of the special agents went to him and
quietly arked why he had not declared the
diamonds he was bringing into the country.
He Jumped aa If something had stung him,
and then Just aa calmly stated that he had
no diamonds, that we could go through hla
baggage, his pockets, anything he had. He
aid It was most reiatarkabta to accuse him
of such a thing, but he did not fly Into a
rage; he acted Just at any Innocent man
would have acted under the clrcumatances.
Then we knew we bad to do with a good
'un.
"We wasted very little time over his bag
gage, although he bustled around with tha
keys at a great rate. One of the men
finally aald to him that It waa useless to
waate more time, and asked him to return
to his stateroom for a somewhat more
complete examlnalsoa. At this the passen
ger railed a great protest, and declared It

was outrageous to submit htm to such an
Indignity. When we reached the room we
asked him kindly to remove his clothing,
saying nothing, however, about the pIuHter.
By this time our man was at white heat.
He said he had only come to the stateroom
to avoid a scene cn dec!:, and he refused
to take off his clothing. Then he was told
he would have to be taken Into custody
and would undoubtedly be seurched.
"This further Infuriated him, and he be
gan a long rigmarole about being an Amer
ican citizen, with rights and all that aort
of thing, and we stood around and waited
until he hud finished. At last he cooled
down a bit, and even laughed, saying that
perhaps, after all, it was best to end the
farce by submitting. But he begged one
thing of us, and that was patience, be
cause, he said, he had been suffering for a
long time with a severe attack of rheu
matism in his back, and it waa painful for
him to get Into and out of hla clothing.
He added that he had been able to obtain
some relief from porous plasters, and that
he never went about without one on his
back.
"About ten minutes 'later we got down to
his skin, and there was the plaster, and
not at all strange to relate, it was uneven
and wrinkled, and quite lumpy in places.
Just at this moment, the psychological mo
ment. If there ever waa one, we acquainted
him with the contents of the cablegram
which had been received from the agent In
France, and you should have seen the look
that swept over his face. The rheumatism,
apparently, doubled him up In a minute.
He began to groan and protest, saying that
he must refuse to have the plaster removed,
but his protests did not avail him. We
took off the plaster and, of course, found
the gems arranged In a pretty pattern work
beneath It. And I tell you, he must have
suffered with his burden, because the stones
were cut, and each one of them had made
a hole In his back.
"And that Is the story of our taking nf
at leaat 250,000 worth of beautifully out
stones from our wily friend,"
What Lay Behind.
The old man paused again and again,
looked a the end of hla now unllghted
cigar. Slowly he drew a match from his
pocket and lighted It. As he puffed away,
he said:
"But that Itn't quite all. Here's the beat
part of tha story. We took the Jew
els, wrapped th;in carefully In a hand
kerchief, and went away, very proud of
tl e sagacity of the agent In Franc and
of the case with which we had carried out
our p&rt of the program. We took the
Jewels to the custom house and puff and
puff when they were examined puff it
was found puff puff that they were I
puff glass." j
The narrator cocked his eye at ua and
repeated; "Yea, glass. And that wily per
son with the plaster had sent us the cable
gram hlmtelf, and brought in a trunk
ful of things, because we had not looked
at all carefully through his baggage. Now,
what in the world could anyone do when
he waa up against a crook like that oneT
"Now, doesn't that give you sums lde

There are lot of crooks Just as clever as
that one, and they're lying awake nights
studying out devices by which to get
ahead of the customs' authorities. It
wasn't so very long ago that we discov
ered a very protty little scheme by which
the government had been losing thousinds
of dollars of duties. It was In tha Impor
tation of rare and costly laces from Franoe,
and It' somewhat unpleasant.
"A rather careful tab had been kept
upon the lace branch of the smuggling
business, but It was found that many
thousands of dollars worth of valuable
pieces wers coming In under the very
noses of the officials. And at last the
method was found out by the horrible pro
cess of opening a dead body which had
been shipped to this country to a small
town In the west. Concealtd In the body
was a hermetically sealed, cai.la er, and
Inside this were found pieces of lace wo th
at least 215,000. You see, the smuggl r.
aa we afterwards discovered, had aevcral
times purchased the bodUa of the dead In
Paris, paying 80 francs for them, and
within them hud placed tin canisters con
taining the laces. The bodies were regu
larly shipped with death certificates' and
all complete, and Consigned to obscuie per
sons In out-of-the-way place In this coun
try, ostensibly the bodies of relatives who
had passed away abroad, and were being
sent home for burial In the family plot.

It was scarcely reasonable to suspect that
smuggling would be attempted In such a
way, and, Indeed, It waa a long; time be
fore the authorltlea got track of It.
Women and the Customs.
"Smuggling Is a peculiar thing," he con
tinued, meditatively, nnd it nppeals par
ticularly to women. There are many
women, at least there were, who used to
give the customs authorltlea no end of
tiouble. They were Ingenious, too, and
whenever we found a woman, one we al
ready suspected, the possessor of a small
dog, our suspicions were greatly strength
ened. It Is o fact that these women used to
make use of the dogs to bring dutiable
things into the country. Diamonds and the
like were not Infrequently found attached
to the collar of a pet, and there Is a story
that one woman had an extra hide on her
small dog covering Its back, and also many
yards of jace. Hollow toilet articles,
brushes and looking-glasses with false
backs, even tooth brushes with the handles
hollowed out, have been found.
"And there's another peculiar thing about
the relationship between women and smug
gling, Women who are the soul of recti
tude In all other things will not hesitate
to evade the law when It comes to smug
gling. For some reason or other they do
not consider smuggling dishonest, but
rather as an exciting sort of game to play.
Every woman who goes to Europe spends
hours of her preparation to return In de
vising means of bringing things in without
paying duty. She sees absolutely nothing
wrong in wrapping laces around herself,
and then putting on a Jacket to hide them,
and aa for gloves and stockings, why, she
la as disappointed as can be because she
can get orr only three pairs of thin silk
stockings and squeeze her foot Into Its shoe,
"Men are much more honest about the
things they bring In, and not long ago I
heard of a case In which a man humored
this smuggling tendency In his daughter,
but took good care that she should not be
discovered evading the law.
"HI daughter had purchased a valuable
diamond necklace In London and announced
her determination to bring It In without
paying one penny of duty. There was no
reason In tlie world why she should have
chosen to do this, as her father was a very
rich man and could have paid the duty
without noting its absence from his bank
account. But she wanted the exoltement,
and her fe-ther agreed to let her have her
own way. She brought the necklace In in
a small bag which her father asked her to
let htm hold for a moment or two, and It
