Those
Papers I
y. The Plan by Which They Were
V Carried From London
to New York
? By STEPHEN TROWBRIDGE
One morning n hi e in London on tak
ing up raj- newspaper after breakfast
to scan the news my eye fell on a per
sonal which read as follows:
Wanted.? One versod In smuggling de
vice* to carry valuable paper*.
Now, If there was any man who
could beat me In methods to pull the
wool over customs ofli< era 1 would
have been pleased to meet him.
I had begun m.v labors by working
the hollow boot heel racket; then 1 had
a lot of diamonds fixed up In cherries I
to ornament a woman's bat nnd hired a 1
passenger on the ship going over with ]
me to wear It She got through all
right, but caroe down on me for all the
profit or she would peach. 1 made '
some money by having the tiny works ,
of a lady's watch put In a chronometer,
the space around the wheels and pivots 1
being tilled wlib valuable Jewels. A j
was tumor on the top of ray head was i
cut open by a butcherly customs man
and disclosed a big diamond, the profit
on which would have been $2o,000.
The diamond and the profit both went :
by the hoard, i'ussiug over the Swiss
line Into France, I bad a bouquet in
which there was $10,000 worth of Ge
neva watch works. A lady confederate
carried It safely over for me. and she
didn't bleed me either, for she didn't ;
know she carried anything but flowers, j
It occurred to me to get on my feet !
again by securing, if jwssible. this ad !
vertised Job; but. though 1 knew ways j
and means. I was the best known man
In the .business to the customs men.
and (hat would make me the worst
mau to successfully iiirry valuable pa
pers. for It was evident th.'t the owner
wished to get them through secretly,
and all my luggage w> >ild l>e turned
Inside out for smuggled m>od*. He
sides. the papers might be bulky, and
that would make them hart) to get
through. They couidn't bp wound
'i was orvr* thi r ai-khs is ni9 oFrin.'
around the bod.v like In'-e. and they
conldu't be carried in 11 false wart on
the nose
1 spent a whole day trying to think
up a plan to pet these papers through,
providing for dangers similar to those
to be met in a ctistoni boose, but fail
ed At 4 o'clock the ne\t morning 1
awoke and lay in t>ed thinking. My
brain always works better nt that time
than any other. I worked out a scheme
which 1 consider the crowning device
of my life
Hy 0 o'clock I h:id ensiled n reply
to the nd.. and the n^t; morning's
I>ost brought nie a reply i was In
vlted to call at the oflicc of a promi
nent firm of solicitors. I went to the
address nt once and was introdtx ed
Into the private of'.ice of the head of
the firm. Mr. Fdwiinl Collamore.
"Now. sir." ho snld to mi-, "1 am
ready to listen to your fitness for the
work of cnrrylng some legal documents
to New Vork. of which any ordinary
messenger would l>e robbed on the
way. if not murdered as well."
1 gave him a history of my work In
deceiving customs officers. lie was
quite pleased at some of my devices,
especially the carrying of wntchworks
in a bouquet, and asked me If papers
could not be carried in that way. 1
told him that depended on the person
or persons who would try to get pos
session of them. He was sufficiently
impressed with my accomplishments to
tell me all about the work he needed
done.
Vlsconnt B., one of his clients, had
married an American heiress owning
an immense property In New York.
There were other persons? the count
ess' half brothers and sister? who were
interested. She had recently died, and
her husband was having n big tight
with these persons for ttie property.
His ense hinged on certain papers
which were In London and must be
j transmitted to the surrogate's office
in New York. Unscrupulous attor
npys were acting for the American par
ties, who knew of these papers and
that if they could get possession of
them some $10,000,000 would pass to
their clients. "Now." said Mr. Colla
more, "can yoti transmit the papers
safely? If you can you will be paid
tO p#r ceht et tie viwoont's Inherit'
?nee."
? "How do yon know that 1 will not
turn them over to the N??w York per- 1
tie* for twice that?"
"I have a plan for preventing your
doing so."
I "Your plan would fail. However. I
can give yon a scheme of operations
by vhlch yi>u can work with me. 1
shall need a confederate. You may
name tbut confederate."
"Proceed."
"I shall require a few carpentet'a
tools, which 1 shall take with me on
the ship, and a tiny pot of paint. 1
Mtippofie from what yon have told me
that the moment the papers leave your
vaults the enemy will know it"
"1 have been told that we have spies
here In this office, and the best Lon
don detectives are watching us."
"Very well, s?>nd the papers to the
ship In any way you like and deliver
them to me In my stateroom, which
you will entciiKe for u.?. As soon as ynn
have secured It c:ibU- some one yon
know in New York t'? e ? it for the j
return trip. Thl< d. shall pro j
ceed further."
"1 will atteud to t h?- i t or at once
How about your conn
"He may go w:tli i. .? - a i ???? crip an-!
will take the paivr* frnui uje in New
York."
"But 1 don't under cn.l the neo-wlty ;
for these details
"They ere more necc*.*irj on my ?c i
count than on your*. A long experi
ence enables me to get these papers
through for you. but that experience
makes me a suspicious character.
ahall be searched by the customs of
(jeers tn New York. But there Is this
advantage In your employing me. Like
ly your opponents will Ret on to the
fact of my taking the papers to Amen- j
ca. If they don't I prefer that 7?*
should see that they do. Tbl? will
concentrate suspicion on me."
"And insure failure."
It took some time to convince Mr. 1
Collamore of the expediency of em
ploy Inir me. In fact. I was obliged to
give blm my whole scheme before he
would do so. When I told hlui all he
engaged me at ouce.
1 wus given the papers la his office
and went direct to the ship, watched
by several detectives, who remained on
the dock till the ship had suited. Once
In my stateroom I took my carpenters
tools from a satchel. loosened a board
In the floor, put \u the papers and.
putting back the board. dabbed a little
mint on It. so that its removal would
not be noticed. To make more sure 1
removed the bo*rd under the berth.
I was conscious of being watched i
the way over, but I did not know
whether my watchers were in the
service of the London or the New York
parties Interested In the papers. One .
man. a middle aged gentian. I sua- I
reeled of being my confederate, who
was not to make himself known to me
but I was not sure It d.dn t matter
n, me how ciosely I wa? watched, for
as soon as 1 had concealed the papers
under the floor of my stateroom my
work was done. When we arrived at
New York and I went ashore I was
accosted by a customs man who knew
me well by:
-Hello. Bob! What racket are yon ;
working on thla time '
He took me and my baggage Into a
private room and went through erefjr
thing He found ncthing dutinble. not
even my carpenter'' tools, for I had
thrown them overboard Finding not
ing he let me go 1 had not got a block
from the dock before I was attacked
by a gang of roogbs. <-ne of whom
doubtless disguised, searched me. A
policeman picked me up half dead, put
me m n cob and sent me home.
My confederate bad received fnll In
struct ions from Mr Collamore. A
couple of hours before the ship Balled
the former went aboard the ship.
companled by one who purported to b
his daughter, but Who wrs really a
typist In the employ of a legal Arm
who were Mr. Colic more* correspond
?nts The confederate, having obtal
ed the kev to his stateroom the one
I had occupied on the Inst trip from
Ei-gland? went there and. with tools
he carried in h!s suit case. I look up
the board In the floor, secured the pa^
pcrs. the typist concealed them on her
person and. when the "All ashore. ,
1x11 was rung, bidding a tearful go*
bv to him who purported to be her
father, she went down the gangplank,
and In another hour the P"P*? '
deposited In the vaults of a safety de
posit company
According to the contract I had mad*
before leaving London. 1 was given
$2fi0 a month till the estate was set
tled. when 1 was to receive a million.
I was paid the $200 regularly, but
when the final settlement wag made I
was put off with a beggnrly half mil
lion on the ground that after all the
viscount had been obliged to compro
mise with the American heirs.
However. I am quite comfortable
and do not need to practice any more
schemes, for I can get on very wen
from the income I enjoy from the pro
reeds of my last venture. I 1,Te
I London and am much respected,
i though 1 am known to be a retired
! smuggler. You see. of late years smug
gling has become fashionable. The
I wives of American millionaires do the
principal part of what is done in that
line tind do it on the other side of .he
big pond. As for the English, they so
t dislike our protection system that any
man who can beat an American cus
toms officer Is popular among them.
But I'm getting tired of I/indon.
I'm thinking of going to Ireland. The
pride of family Is going out In Eng
land, and there Is no country where
It Is still held In respect except "mo?*
the older families of the Emerald Isl
If that rascally viscount hadn t beaten
me out of a part of my pay for getting
bis bloom in' papers through I cou?
have set up a racing stable In treltnd.
