much impressed by Mr.. Towards ap

looked as though he might be United

Howard proved to be an remarkably
interesting talker, however, and Mr..
jennings was soon on friendly terms
with him.
Finally Howard took the note for $500
from his pocket and asked Mr.. jennings
to cash it for him. Mr.. jennings, who
is very careful in such matters, looked
up the men whose names purported to
be signed to the note, and who Howard
said he represented.
He found that they We're wealthy pso-
pie, the benefioiaries of will of their
father, business man, who had recently
died. He also knew that they were in
need OF cash with which to pay better
ments flor land in New Jersey. owned. by
them.
This investigation made 1t appear to
Mr.. Jennings that the noteswas all right.
So he took the note and advanced the
money That was the last he saw of
Howard.
When the note was presented for ooIleo.
ton. however, the persons whose names
were affixed to the note declined to honor
it.
A complaint was made to the police
and warrant was granted by the court
for Howard g arrest.
