! RoGUEs CHEATED-Two rogues in
! Albany were recently sold very neatly.
J A shrewd citizen had just drawn twenty
five hundred dollars from bank, and
they saw him put it in his pocket-book,
and mistaking him for stranger from
the country, determined get his money
He heard them talking together, and saw
them following him, and, suspecting
their object, determined to trap them.
The story isa good one sta.si3s $3.50.
| One of them asked, "Can you tell me
where Hudson street Isl" sF a IS f.
Don't know. I'm stranger in the
city just come from Cumberland" repli
ed the agent, remembering that he had
been spotted as countryman by
the young man who propounded the
query. tas M ,s g
After answering the question, the agent
continued on up North Pearl street; as
he entered Shermans real estate agency
office, he noticed that his tEo friends !"
still logged his steps
They remained outside the door, await
| ing his return, surmlsing, no doubt, that
he would not remain there long. And
they were not disapp -inted, for in a few
minutes "their man made his appear
ance again on the street. gS
Ofcourse they were totally ignorant of
what his business was in the office. Be
| ing aware that these men were following
him for no good purpose, the agent very
wisely left all his money with his friend,
Mr. Sherman, and then stuffed his wallet
with scraps of newspapers.
He then sauntered out, determined to
"see the thing out. J"
| He pas ed up Maiden Lane, crossed
Eagle Street. and was going along near
the Capitol Park, when he was again &C
costed by one of the men, who inquired
of him what time it was. q
| "Cant tell you; left my watch at
home" replied the agent. 81
"Can you give me change for ten
dollar note?" - &@3
"Guess / can accommodate you, "replied
the agent. At that the sharper handed Il
greenback to the agent, and the latter
drew forth his wallet, stuffed with scraps
of newspapers He no sooner did So
than the thief sna ched the wallet from
his hand, and ran off, with the speed of a
deer.
Of course, the agent did not pursue,
| but chuckled to himself over his good
luck in getting SO for an old wallet filled
with newspapers. He expressed himself
we'll satisfied with the exchange.

wen they were in Louisville on business !;
not that they were acquainted W tn him, but,

what he looked like. Such visits were pecu-
| liarly painful to q sensitive nature, though
| Prentice had no recourse but to endure them.
Reception rooms are not in use among prov
tncial" newspapers, and u knock at the door
is the only intimation of a visitor, before he
enters tbs room. One OF these enthusiastic
individuals shook Prentice warmly by the
hand one day, when he had come as he said,
