an Ingenious trick to accomplish his pur-
pose. Early lsst week the man called on
Walter II Cooke, n wealthy resident, and
bnrRHined for y piece OF woodland on Mr..
Cookies estnte, on Sandy street. No tale
was ff~cted at the first meeting, but on the
day following the stranger called again and
agreed 10 buy the land at the owners price,
provided immediate possession was given,
so that he could have the timber. The pros
peetive buyer Informed Mr.. Cooke that he
would call the next day to make settlement,
but requested Introduction to a hardware
dealer In order 10 purchase the necessary
tools. Mr.. Cooke complied with the re-
quest. The stranger waited until Mr.. Cooke
departed, when tools to the amount OF $50
were purchased. Thinking that Greene was
friend OF Mr.. Cooke, the merchant readily
accepted check for SEA, giving Greene $4s
In cash to make up the difference. Before
Greene departed he left orders for the tools
to be delivered to his workmsn, who would
call next morning. The merchant Is still
awaiting their coming. The check has been
returned from the New York bank on which
1t was drawn as mo good" The police 10
whom the onse was reported have learned

note, dwelling as he did especially upon
the good resulting from associations Of
