Half beside himself, the CRATER
showed the telegram to the farmer, and
said:
See here, I haven't the money to buy
your half of the gold bar, and haven't
time to wait to have it melted and di-
vided, SO I'll tell you what I'll do. If
you will give me $500 you can have my
half"
Naturally the farmer hesitated, if for
no other reason than to get a better
deal; whereupon the CRATER showed
him that by accepting his offer he would
be getting $500 the best of the bargain.
''Well, the farmer said, ''if can raise
$4,000 more than I have on hand, I'll
give you $1,000 cash for your share"
"All right" agreed the CRATER.
Take me to town and settle with me
and I'll start for Massachusetts, on the
first train for the, east"
The cash was, of course, forthcoming.
and would have been had the farmer
been obliged to mortgage his farm.

BY the sleeve you can gauge the fash
ion of ones dress pretty correctly,
though the skillful woman is able to re-
model last years apparel very success
fully by a change in some few details,
most important of all the sleeve. A
smart, long cuff, close-fitting, is the fea-
ture of the present fashion, and ii the
old sleeve is wanting in material the cuff
may be made of lace or some contrasting
goods; wash-stuffs are best liked, as this
Is primarily day of daintiness.
The cape sleeve is not exactly new,
but the one shown in the sketch has the
virtue Of being in good style and of be-
ing fashioned of two materials. 4 neat
sleeve is the one giving the outline of
the arm, but notice it is by no means
what would be. called tight-ftting. Per-
haps the most desirable model pre-
sented is the one with the long cuff and
double puffs; this one helping to bring
out the points now considered to make
up the good figure, breadth of shoulder
and tapering waist. The one-puff
sleeve is a pattern that is to be very
popular, and mayhap the puff shorter
than that illustrated will obtain with
study advance styles. The mutton-leg
will be in evidence this winter, perhaps
trif1e smaller than last year. Care
should be taken with this sleeve that
the under part does not bag or draw the
whole down into shapeless bag, as, un-
fortunately, was the case with the NUT
ton-leg of a season back.
Coming to sleeves for evening wear,
we select the very prettiest and most
becoming among the endless variety
on display We are partial to the short
sleeve that is really short, stopping
above the elbow. To some arms this may
be trying-the very angular and the too
large-but the addition of band and
bow of black velvet ribbon should make
friend than black velvet, anyway, the
one sure thing that can be worn, less
ening defects rather than accentuating
them. And again we call attention to
the touch of black which is to be a fea-
ture of the winter styles, either velvet
or satin employed to give the bit of con-
traSt.
The finish approved for the ordinary
sleeve is some simple turned-over cuff
of wash stuff, lace or batiste. Frills are
not the best style save for dressy af-
fairs, when the deep ruffles affected the
last two years may still be worn. The
fashionable bracelet looks we'll with the
neat back-turned cuff. can be seen to
more advantage than if yelled in long

should step into another room and call
the chief of police and turn you over to
him, what would be the outcome?"
''Well," said he, Il haven't given you
the name of anyone we have buncoed,
and as none of the 'rummies' have
kicked or made any kind of a squeal,
what could they do to me? I'd simply
saythat had lied to you, and that would
end it"
During the grafter's stay with the
farmer, the Indian had come every night
with letters, which he had left at given
place under the porch, and taken from
the same place letters from the High
Mark" to different members of the gang,
thus keeping them in perfect touch
from first to last.
I asked Charlie what average of fall
llres they had in such a wonderfully
strong play and learned that something
would turn up to spoil about one in
every five or six jobs.
When asked if he had lost all feel
ing of conscience, he declared that he
was as sympathetic as anybody, except
when it came to selling gold brick.
When dealing with rich man, and one
who was as avaricious as himself, he
had no feeling whatever, and, aside from
the satisfaction of making bunch of
money, he was glad to see the greedy
old wolf get buncoed.
A small piece had been taken out of
the brass or copper brick, and suffi-
GENTLY large piece of gold inserted, upon
which to enable the supposed assayer
to place his acid. With the exception
of this small piece of pure gold, the
whole brick was nothing more nor less
than brass or copper.
1t will be remembered that the Indian,
instead of burying the metal in the tim
bered lot, planted" it on the opposite
side of the fence, on land owned by some
one other than the farmer. This gave
the farmer no chance to claim the whole
chunk of gold, on the ground that it
was found upon his property.

Who was the Indian? How had he
come by the gold?
Should they report the case to the
authorities? Neither the CRATER nor
the farmer suggested this course.
Possession being considered nine
points of the law, they felt no DISPOSE

Finally the CRATER proposed burying
it in the farmers wheat bin for the
present.
At this point Charlie explained
that under no circumstances did he
call it gold brick" but always a
chunk of gold"
The wheat bin suggestion was fol-
lowed, and after filling the hole and
placing the shovel where it had been
found they carefully concealed the
gold underneath three feet of wheat
in the barn. The farmer now became
anxious to make certain that it was
really gold. The CRATER felt no doubt
on this point, but agreed it would be
best to have it tested.
At last che farmer suggested just
