Interesting Conciusioa of m Episode In the
Green Goods Game.
The observant barkeeper recognized one of
his customers as a green goods man. whose
name is not unknown to the investigators OF
the Lexow committee. He was a tall. we'll
groomed fellow. with square jaws and cold
grey eyes. His companion evidently was not a
New Yorker: nor was he n couutryman. lie
wore II gold watch chain almost big enough TO
hold a steamship at anchor. The barkecpcr did
not see the strangers watch, but he naturally
conjectured from the manner in which the
green goods man looked at the watch pocket,
that there was II watch there. IL was apparent
that the green goods man was after the super"

green goods man ordered beer tor two. The
stranger went over To the lunch counter while
the harkeeper was drawing the beer, and the
green goods man. with seeming carclessness,
passed his right hand over the strangers glass.
The barkceper caught n glimpse of II phial in
the hand, and he knew that the strangers beer

barkeeper was getting no. under the collar. He
was about to send for the cop ON the post when
the green goods man started toward the lunch
counter. and the stranger came back to the bar.

had less beer In i by half an inch than the
much of a drinking man. lie inuocently
swapped glasses with the green goods man;
while the barkeepcr almost burst a hood vessel

Here's how. said the green goods man. as
he raised his glass and touched that OF the
stranger. Tho beer disappeared. and the green
goods man, with the look of a hawk about TO
pOunce upon its prey, went out with the stranger.
They fingered at the door awhile, and the bar
keeper came out and smiled what he wished the
crook to believe was approval of his little
scheme. The stranger wanted 10 go one way

green goods man decided To go with the
