We have had the pearl-bedecked countess who came over in the steerage Wo have had a bridal kiss 2Siin feet above Broadwa) and Forty-second street And 1 h a number of little things After piloting American soldiers overseas between floatin- mines and Hun submarines. Captain H?rbort J Slabery could not stand mere routine rou-tine job aft.-r his ship went out of commission and the war over. ur. perhaps, he could not get a routine Job, Anyway, he fell In with a holdup hold-up gang, who initiated him Into their custom and sent him forth to garner J in honest living The captain's firs: attempt was his lasi. Fur the gang j faded on the approach of d policeman anil Slabery, dashing out of a cigar I store with the contents of the till. .dashed into the officer's arms. j While Slabery was being questioned by detective.-., a patrolman amazed Mi.,-, present l;, .salti inir the prisoner. The patrolman. who had lraeled across on Slabery's boar, could not believe be-lieve the captain was really a holdup gangster, This Incident got under 81a-berv': 81a-berv': skin and he explained t he Workings Work-ings of his gang with 0 conscientious thoroughness which hs made u necessary ne-cessary for the authorities' to shield him from the gangsters' vengeance.
