A Trick ON n Pawnbroker.

A Montreal pawnbroker short tine
ago advanced quite sum Of money on
q very valuable solitaire diamond ring
and agreed to sell the ring at reasonable
price for the pledger. Soon after young
man came into the shop and asked for
diamond rings. Among others, the soli-
taire was shown him, but after examining
he left without buying The next day the
broker noticed something wrong with the
ring, and ON examining II became con-
vinced that the stone had been changed,
and that instead Of valuable diamond
he had only worthless piece Of glass.
Ten the person who had pledged the
ring demanded its return, and began to
make considerable fuss, so that alto
gether the pawnbroker found himself ON
the horns Of most uncomfortable dilem-
ma. Luckily for him, he succeeded In
getting on the track Of the young man,
and after great amount oftrouble forced
him to return the stone. He fully believes
that 1t was deliberate plot to swindle
him by the two persons.
