Richard Harding Davis, the greatest of today's American authors, and a man whose researches Into criminal men and their methods have become wqrldwlde has written a stpry about "The Disreputable Mr. Raegen." e It said first that Mr. Raegen is not wicked, but his being under suspicion with the New York police has a great deal to do with the story. When Mr. Raegen la least Buspectlng it be be comes the victim of a hardy crook who, by his deft manipulation, places an empty pocket book (from which the roll of bills has been taken) in Mr. Raegen's coat pocket The crook gets away with the money until his crookedness overcomes his caution and 1 the Inevitable arrest made. Under suspicion of being the actual thief Mr. xlaegen suffers arrest, escapes, etc., end finally takes refuge In a room wher he receives the sal vation of his soul by finding a little child, deserted by H guardians, one of whom Is the actual thief first concerned. How everything Is straightened out and the guilty made to pay the penal ty can only be seen at the Isis tonight and tomorrow. , It Is worth seeing. Richard Harding Davis never wrote a better story. The suffragette picture is still a drawing one and the Latin quota tion will be translated In tomorrow's picture advertisement. .
