that It Is up to me and I'll officiate to
the best of my ability Although I may

Plays with Auto Dealer*
I am giving you all this bee.vise I
«. an t ynii in c> i .iftor me in earnest
and not with the idea that I am "ncif
to trick you into working overtime in a
fruitless chase. Some person in this
City will be richer by a large wad of
bills before I leave here and it will be
up to tho man. woman or child who
takes this tip and goes after me on
legitimate lines to collect the money.
I told you in yesterdays story that I
Would go after another bunch of busi
ness men during the day— and I did.
For two hours I worked in and among
the offices of your automobile dealers.
asking all sorts of foolish questions,
getting cards and catalogs and in sev
eral Instances the very names of the
men I talked with.
They were all well up on the matter
of automobiles, but when It devolved
Itself to penetrating the incognito I
assumed, there was simply "nothln"
During the afternoon. Just for exer- !
else, I strolled for two hours along
Broadway, Spring and Main streets,
looking the ground over for another,
midday meeting place in the near j
future. I saw about a dozen of those I
with whom I have talked during the j
past fow days, but they all passed me !
by, without so much as a nod. Strange,
Isn't IT?
I had half a notion to take a chance
with Captain H. D. Ryus down at the
White garage during the morning, but)
Captain Ryus is a fairly Foxy Quiller. j
and I decided to wait a bit before really |
going after him.
By the way, Cap.. I'M still waiting
to hear what you have to say about
taking a chance, such as I may want
to take with your big POPE-HART
FORD touring car In the course of the
next few days. Of course If you
haven't anybody on tap who can
operate the car skillfully we will for
get it, as I will need about the best
chauffeur In this country to tackle
what I have now In mind. Let me hear
from you — I'm getting anxious.
If any one ran tell me how I man
aged to get through this little bunch of
"wise ones" yesterday I would like to
bear some one say something.
Just as a starter I went after a tall,
smooth faced, light complexioned man,
wearing a gray suit and black derby
hat, who was In charge of the Superior '
Auto company's store at No. 130 East >
Ninth street, where I managed to get a i
rise out of him by asking whether he
had a garage for the storage of Haynes
automobiles.
Ab an answer this chap handed me
his card, which I noted bore his name,
"E. W. SEHRING," declaring at the
same time that if my brother's ma
chine arrived in Los Angeles he would
send his man down to the car and as
sist In the unloading.
Never Suspect Raffles
At the Standard Motor Car com
pany's plant. No. 118 East Ninth street,
I related at iensrth to a young lady
stenographer, whom I discovered in
charge of the office, that I had four
FORD automobiles which I wanted
stored for the summer, which brought
forth the information that if I sent the
machines over they would be well
taken care of.
A short, lipht complexioned, smooth
faced man with a bunch of orders in
his hand and wearing dark trousers,
white shirt, without a coat, who was
in charge of Chanslor & Lyon^ Motor
Supply company, No. 030 SouTh Main
street, listened to my story regarding
the purchase of a gas tank, .inrl finally
declaivd ho would sell mo tho best tank
on the market for $35. Hr- gave me his
card alter I had promised to bring my
brother around later in the day to look
the tank over.
At the offlco of the Stoddard-Dayton
Motor company, No. 1013 South Main
street I encountered short, smooth
faced, dark complexioned young man
•wearing a gray suit, who told me, after
hearing my yarn concerning the stor
age of an automobile, that be could not
take care of my machine, as he had no
garage.
At No. 1018 South Main street, the
Helnemann-lvar.son company, I found
a short, smooth faced, dark complex
loped younj man wearing a light suit
and a light gray cap, who Informed me
that it would be a pretty hard matter
for me to get a large ga.s tank, as he
declared, "Th< re are mighty few in thla
town."
As I left the store he even went so
far as to alap me on the back, with
the remark, "I'm sorry l cannot ac
commodate you."

THE MYSTERIOUS MR. RAFFLES TALKING TO CAPTAIN PAUL?
FLAMMER £
street, . the Hughson & Merton com
pany, I asked a tall, dark complexioned,
smooth faced young man wearing a
dark checked suit and black derby
hat, what he had in the line of gas
tanks. As an answer he demonstrated
the "Never out" lamp, after which he
presented me with a catalogue and his
card, which had the name "J. G. Coch
rano" written in lead pencil on the
botton.
At the office of the Wayne Auto com
pany, No. 1203 South Main street, I
bothered a short, dark complexioned
chap with a smooth face, who was in
charge of the store, long enough to dis
cover the price for storing a Wayne
automobile. He regretted the fact that
he had no garage, but declared that
as soon as the machine arrived in this
city he would be glad to lend me a
hand in its unloading.
He gave me a card with the name
"Bennett" engraved on it.
Over at the office of 11. O. Harrison
company, No. 1214 South Main street,
I met a short, dark complexioned,
smooth faced young man, whose name
I discovered later was "M. C. Barker,"
said he had no place to store .-. Peer
less car, which I declared would arrive
In this city within a few days, but sug
gested that I carry his card next door,
where be was quite sure I could get
what I was after.
Going next door to No. 1218 South
Main street, 1 repeated my query to a
young lady bookkeeper In charge of
the office, who referred me to Mr, Lee,
whom I found in the rear of the store.
Mr. Lee said ho could take care of the
car very nicely for $17 a month.
Walking back to the office of the
Tourist Auto company 1 asked a tall,
smooth faced, dark complexioned man,
whom 1 suppose was one of the sales
men, what sort of a gas tank I should
buy for a Tourist car. He replied that
he was sorry that he could not give
me the information, as the auto man
was out, but added that if I would
wait a few moments the manager would
return. After waiting rive minutes • I
left the place, picking up a catalogue as
I passed out.
New Victims Today
At Pico and South Hill streets I
found the office of the Success Auto
mobile company, where I asked a tall,
Smooth lac.d, light complexion, , I man
wearing a gray suit and black derby
hat, the price of storing a Winton car,
to which he answered that be could
take care of it for $20 a month.
As I left he presented me I, is card
with his name, "M. 11. Green," printed
on it.
That wag all there was to it. The
automobile men "fell" Just as easily
as did others in this city with whom 1
have taken chances during thu past
nine days. To make the game stronger,
