That evening he started for Grand
Haven, carrying with him small
handbag and leaving behind fairly
good-looking medium-sized yalise.
The following day young man
alighted from the Grand Haven train
and; going to the hotel, presented a
letter from the diamond dealer, which
read as follows:
Dear Landlord: I am closing deal
for fine pair of horses and a carriage,
with which / shall leave here to-mor-
row morning for Muskegon. / am
trading a few diamonds on the deal,
but the man has held me up for 5000
boot money, which / wish you would
let the bearer have for me- / also
have on another diamond deal, which
| expect to clinch to-day. Yours ETC."
Not daring to entrust the messenger
with the diamond mans thousand dol
lar package, and not feeling justified
in opening it, the landlord instantly
sent the two hundred in cash out OF
his own pocket. First, however, ne
questioned the messenger and learned
that he was an old resident OF Grand
Haven, and knew everyone there,

pointing, especially 10 the landlord.
On the following morning, the hotel
people began discussing the matter
oritc freely. The landlord brought out
the envelope, upon which was written
the diamond dealers name and the
amount Of cash enclosed, and although
he claimed to feel perfectly secure II
was plain that he was much per-
picked.
At last, not hearing from the young
man. the clerk went to Grand Haven
and. to his astonishment, found the
landlord there walking the floor in his
anxiety to know what mad become OF
the man whose package, containing
$1,000, he held in the safe, and for
whom he had borrowed 5000 from q
merchant friend couple of days be-
fore.
A valise, similar to the one left at
Muskegon, had also been left at the
Grand Haven hotel.
Putting two and two together, 1t
was plain that both landlords had
been duped by this smooth CRATER,
and thereupon the envelopes were
opened. Each was found to contain a
lot of brown paper, cut in the exact
size of dollar bills.
On comparing notes. the hotel men
found that his methods were the same
in each case. In both instances he
