"Of course he would not sign the ratifi-

This the latter took to a skillful en-.
graver, who produced it on steel in tn,
highest style of art, with the name OF
the author, in the handwriting of the
literary schemer, below it.
Next he employed a printer to set
up in type footnote written from the
points furnished by Mr.. Diamond, and
mentioning that gentleman by name.
From this an impression was skill
fully made at the bottom of half

Ten days after Tremaine had OBJ
tanned the idea of his literary scheme"
in the Partisan cafe, he held in his
hands his special copy of the wealthy
socialists great work.
1t contained by way of frontispiece
q handsome portrait of the disguised
schemer, and the foot-note upon page

the others in the elegantly bound vol

This was at once forwarded to Mr..
Diamond by express.
1t was accompanied by letter,
thanking the banker for his kindness,
and announcing that NJ. Fortunat

That gentleman received his caller
cordially, almost gushingly, and they
were soon lunching together like old
friends.

laughed the banker when the meal was

"The sheets came to the bindery this
evening" said the man in conclusion.
Couldn't you procure me set of
them?" asked Ste. Marie.
"For what?"
"For Napoleon-no, Pll make it a
louis dor"
"Good" responded the workman.
"The shop isn't closed yet. III bring
them now."
That evening and half the night was
spent by Tremaine in reading the
work of NJ. Jules Fortunat.
But first he wrote, and Ste. Marie
posted, letter to Henry Diamond, 9
wealthy banker of London.
This letter, to which he boldly signed
the name of Jules Fortunat, asked Mr..
Diamond to kindly furnish him with
the amounts deposited in the various
savings banks Of London during the
decade just past.
"By an oversight I omitted it from
the main body of the work" the latter
went on, "and must insert il in tbe
form of a note. / will be pleased IN
give you full credit for the same.n
Three days later Tremaine received
the reply at club, where he had
asked to have it addressed.
Mr.. Diamond not only furnished the
desired information but expressed de-
light at having been afforded the op
portunity, and, what pleased the
schemer still more, invited the author
to call upon him when again in Lon
don.
In the meantime Trcmaine had sal

up so that even Jean Ste. Marie did
not recognize him.

truth is that Sitting Bull, VIII was only a
medicine man, ran away from the fight
and viewed it from hill When the
massacre was complete he descended to the
battlefield and filled his belt with scalps
torn from the dead. The real leaders at
the Custer massacre were Ped Cloud who
headed the Western Indians, and Gall,
who charged at the front of the Eastern.
