MoRGAEs SCHEME TO SAVE.
Master Financier Shows Jeweler q
Trick in Purchase of Pearl-Later
Tells Victim.

NEW YORK, June 29.-J, Pierpont
Morgan is revealed as sleek trader In
small things by story that has just
become current and goes far TO explain
how he hypnotizes dollars and makes
them walk into bis pockets.
A big Broadway jewelry house came
into possession of splendid pearl. 1t
was decided to offer 1t for sale private
ly, and Mr.. Morgan was given first
chance.
A stenographer wrote to Mr.. Morgan
that IL be wanted the pearl, which was
set In scarf pin, he could have 1t for
$4,000. In the event the pearl did not
meet with bis approval--it was for
warded with the note-the financier
was asked to return IL by the messen-
ger.
Mr.. Morgan read the firms COM
munication with interest. He was
delighted with the pearl and after
closely inspecting it, rewrapped 1t In
the tissue paper and thrust 1t into his
trousers pocket. At this point, High
Finance took the center of the stage.
Calling his cashier, Mr.. Morgan in
structed him to draw two checks--one
for $4,000 and the other for $4,000.
The $4,000 check Mr.. Morgan placed
In the box that had contained the
pearl. He had the package carefully
tied and sealed with wax. The $4,000
check he inclosed in letter, In which
he wrote that If the firm was willing
to accept that amount for the pearl,
the box might be returned to him at
once. In the event, however, that the
firm was unwilling to accept less than
$4,000 for the pearl, the $4,000 check
was to be returned without delay.
In less than an hour the messenger
returned fetching the box In which
was the $4,000 check. When the mes
senger had taken bis departure, Mr..
Morgan chuckled. Just before he
sailed for the other side Mr.. Morgan
met one of the members OF the jewelry
firm at a dinner and related to him
the story Of the two checks. The
jeweler ayerred that his firm had lost
money by the transaction.
"If you were losing money" asked
Mr.. Morgan, "why didn't you keep my
$4,000 check?"
The jeweler is said to have bowed
low.
81 can understand now, Mr.. Nor
gan," he declared, show it is that you
have earned your place as the leading
financier of the age"
