A DUPE THBOUGH IGNORANCE.

A clever dodge on the part of a London loan advertiser
'las succeeded in duping a Manchester tradesman, whereat
the good people of Manchester, judging from their local
press, are powerfully irate, The dodge was an old one with
difference. The Spider advertised loans onpersonalsecu-
Tity. The fly asked for £lOO. The spider consented, but
wanted £3 3s. for the travelling expenses of his agent to
?ay the money in propria persona'. The dupe demurred,
whereupon his enemy sent down "a half cheque" (!)
'or the amount of £lOO as security. The tradesman
was "green" enough to conceive that this fragment
)f a document was worth having, doubtless ignorant of
the fact that bankers never pay a mutilated order. It is
needless to say that the money was not raid. The confi-
iential messenger, who was to band it to the tradesman,
met with an accident on the road, and has not yet sutii.
ciently recovered to appear at Manchester.
