the feeling that he is entitled to some |
property that some one else is keeping

ed as If he possessed plenty of ON |
mon sense, says the Philadelphia
Ledger.
Even now l f1atter myself that 1
know a little of life n the world, and
1 have read the newspapers enough to
be alive to the fact that many unprin-
cipled men max a livelihood by dis
covering claims that never existed; but
I'm ready to admit that I felt more
than elated the other day when 1 re-
ceived notice from n Of these agen-
cies that I'd better call, as l might be-
interested in a case they had under
investigation.
This mar questioned me as to my
family history as far back as L could
remember, and it wasn't long before L
was as much interested in the matter
as he seemed to be. There was no
doubt he had studied up our branch of
the family pretty industriously, for he
told me many things that got me in
tereSted In his scheme at once. n [
began to feel that if there were i'm
posters in the business at least he
wasn't one. According to his way OF
figuring there was $3.50, 600 tied up with
red tape in one of the English courts,
| to which l came in on the ground floor
for one-fifth.
4 began to feel that perhaps my
mother was right. after all. when she
commended that the family had been de-
frauded out of a large Inheritance. and
1 felt sorry that I had once told her
that if we were kept out of n prop
erty it was by the rightful owner.
When the man saw I was interested
he grew eloquent and dilated upon the
ease with which the fortune could be
obtained. Of course it o require
money. but l would be q fool not to ex
pend a little when the return would be
so great. l allowed him to exhaust him
self in picturing my good fortune. and
then l sprang a little scheme Of my
own.
