man Of business-like air called at the house
of Mr.. Cummings. Next, the early visitor
brought forth book. He gave the book
and the two envelopes at the door, telling
the servant to deliver the book to Mr.. Cum.
mings and have him sign for the tele-
grams. As the kilograms were prepaid
he had no hesitation in signing on page
where the book was made to open by
means of an elastic band The numbers
on the kilograms were written, and oppo-
cite each of these numbers, further toward
the edge of the page, was rectangle in
closed in a blank border, of sufficient di-
mansions to admit of long signature.
Over each of these rectanges was printed
the word signature" in large, black let
tiers Mr. Cummings unsuspiciously
wrote his name within the first rectangle,
and was proceeding to do likewise in the
one below, when he noticed that that part
of the paper touched by his pen appeared
TO move slightly, while the rest of the leaf
and Mr. Cummings looked closer at the
book, and discovered an ingenious
fraud That part of the leaf which
was incosed in the lower portion of
the rectangles had been carefully and
sIloollIy CUT OUT, anu, VIII WHltc
back ground, it was very difficult to dis
cover that the leaf was not perfect That
part in the interior Of the upper rectangle
had been cut above and below, leaving the
ends intact, so that piece of paper could
be slipped in through the slit on ore side
and out at the other, thus filing the space
with a counterfeit blank for the reception
of the signature. A blank check of the
Butchers and Drovers' Bank, in which
institution Mr.. Cummings keeps his bank
account, had been very ingeniously folded
and placed under the leaf, SO that, while
the line for the signature of the check
came directly into the lower rectangle, the
other end of the check passed through the
slips above in such way AS to present to
the signer just that portion of the check
where an Endorsement is usually written.
When Mr.. Cummings signed the first
blank he indorsed the check, and had he
signed the other he would have given his
signature to the check Had the check
been fastened bya little mucilage, so as to
keep its place, it is highly probable that
the discovery would not have been made.
Mr.. Cummings as soon as he saw the
fraud ran to the door and called to the serv-
ant girl to hold the messenger for a mo-
mcnt till he could get down, but the young
man, who was, of course, eagerly watch
ing for any signal of danger, dashed out
in the street and made his escape.
