An Unknown Man Shifts Bills on a
 Small Boy.

Yesterday afternoon about o'clock an unknown man. pretending to be playing, persuaded a small boy named Grake to let him see a five dollar bill which the boys father had just given to him. Then apparently teasing him the man put the bill in his pocket. At this the boy be- gan crying and the unknown fellow said: Here, son, take your money" The bill he handed back, however, was two dol lars.
 By the time the boy saw that he had been swindled the man had made good his escape and the cries of the boy to catch him were of no avail. The incl dent took place on the corner of Second avenue and Twentieth street, and the tears of the boy attracted the attention of the passers-by, who were touched by the distress of the little victim of heartless wretch.
