tiGIlSacJl01l ciOScU.
 One day recently I nan with a son. brero oil strolled into the office of Wade, Scales < Co. He took the blank slip of paper offered him and wrote tAi. on il:
 Mr. Nobody. from Nowhere. This is my name until after our conversation.
 "Gye that to the boss, he said, am! tell him think he'll be glad to sec me. :
 Curiosity more than anything else led the staid and digniied Mr Wade to al= low this unconventional visitor q chance 10 get into his private office. Once there, Air. Nobaiy said "If III show you AAere thcre is S&1. zoo due this firm and easily eoIieetah5e, $I.500 that you 40W nothing aho9t. what will tie Information be worth 10 me-
 don't see how H's possible" said atr. Wade. "that cvea Nth our great business there could s1e that large amount due Us and ae EdoW nothing about fl -
 ''Ieil Ae what it's worth To ne if ny Information is correet-apa I'll prove to yoel h5 yoHr own boGlss inside of five minutes that 1t is cafreet-and then well proceed 10 business
 Information that this firm is so fool- ish as not to know that an easy collect able $l,,o0 is due is worth $50 to any man who will prove it. Show me that Wc are such business idiots, and I'll l give you S.90 right out of my own pock- ct. More faan that, ii hy the fantest chance what you say should prove true and We can collect the s1, ,5oo, I'll give you q third of it.
