SHE CAUGHT ON.
A Woman Who Took Advantage Of
Las,

Conversation.
A Few years ago widow and her
daughter were occupying a section in
| Pullman sleeper on the Missouri
Pacific railroad. The partition be-
tween the two sections was so thin
that it was not difficult for a CONVEX
sation carried on in one section to be
heard in the other The lady tray
eler heard the two directors discuss
ing plan OF consolidation whereby
the stock of the Missouri Pacific was
bound to be greatly enhanced in
value.
1t was then worth but two or three
cents on the dollar She was on her
return trip to her home in Hartford,
Conn. The conversation of the two
| directors ereyed on her mind She
revolved it over and over again until
her home was reached, at which time
a $1,000 note due her was redeemed.
She sent for her attorney, detailed to
him the conversation she had heard,
and said she was almost resolved to
invest tho s., 900 in Missouri Pacific.
The attorney, installing her an
nounced resolution for irony,
laughed, but the woman of wealth
| persisted.

The attorney obeyed the instruc-
tions of his client, invested the

proposed consolidation was consum.
mated and the Hartford widow real
lied for her s., 200 investment $3.50
600 AT the first blush this incident
is set down as proof OF luck.
1t was simply an unexpected ex-
hibition OF what in Wall street YER
nacular is termed nerve" on tho
part OF quick cared and quick
witted woman Not one person in
10000 would have given any heed to
the conversation referred TO, and not
one OF thousand who might have
heard and needed and who happened
to have the money, as the widow had
it, would have dared to invest il.
These incidents and illustrations
might be expanded until volumes
were filled, says the Cincinnati
Times-Star. The evidence would be
cumulative that eyes and ears and
brain make what the thoughtless
term luck
