Mr.. Guest a big price for his land and he
Jumped at the bargain. So anxious was
he to close the deal which was to be 50
very profitable to him that lac lost all
sense Of prudence and exposed himself
not merely 10 the outrage
which he suffered, but even TO
physical injury and death Mr. Guets
cannot understand to day his recllessness
yesterday and no one that knows him
could understand ii were Il not for the
fact that men as cautious as he are
swindled almost daily by having their
cupidity aroused. That short, swarthy
