women. Their business Is to 90 doctor
and prepare the goods n to deceive the
sharpest. In order to make the decep-
ton a. undetectable a possible the
goods are made to appear old and part
~ worn. Gold watches are first rubbed
with mud and water, and then q few
scratches are carelessly but very artis-
tically added to complete the verisimili-
tude. In the case of rings the insides
are made TO appear worn, and pieces Of
jewelry rubbed on those portions which
would ordinarily receive most wear and
tear. Now, here is the queerest part of
the whole job. All Of the tickets are
torn up and destroyed as soon as the
goods are pledged. Hundreds of
watches, rings, brooches and other ar
ticles of virtue and bigotry,' ~ Sairy
Camp used to call them, are got rid of
in this way every year. Fortunately,
there are not a great many people in
the business, but it is very profitable
and a nice, easy job"
