CHAPTER I. A GENTLEMAN OF CRIME
"UXTRY! Uxtry! Read about the big bank holdups!"

Graham Wellerton stopped as he heard the newsboy's cry. He proffered a few pennies and received the
final edition of a New York evening newspaper. He glanced at the headlines as he walked along in the
bright illumination of Forty-second Street, then thrust the sheet under his arm as he entered a subway
kiosk.

While he waited on the platform for an uptown local, Graham Wellerton again surveyed the headlines.
His eyes ran rapidly down the columns.

After a few short minutes of swift perusal, the man quickly learned that no new clews had been gained by
the police relative to the crimes that had struck at noon that day.
Subway riders were reading their newspapers with avid interest when Graham Wellerton boarded his
local and took a seat in a corner. His own newspaper tucked under his arm, Graham surveyed the
composite crowd in the car and wondered what their varied reactions might be concerning the chief news
of the day.
