WORKING A SWiNDLE.

one day visited a specialist in mental
diseases in Madrid on behalf of her
husband, who, she said, was sufferer
from religious mania. Having explain

the afflicted husband.
The ladys next scene Of action was
a jewelers. shop in another part of the
city, where she selected diamonds to
the value of $1,000 on the understand
ing that she would buy them if her
husband approved. Would some one
accompany her home in cab and the
money would be paid Immediately? A
trusted clerk was sent, and with him
the lady drove back to the doctors
house. In an anteroOm she took the
stones Gust to show them to her hus-
band" Then, entering with sublime
assurance the doctors study, she in
formed the specialist that her husband
was now in the anteroom and ready to
be examined.
Leaving a visiting card, the lady tool;
her departure, and the doctor, bidding
the supposed patient enter, proceeded
at his leisure to ask professional ques-
tons. The jewelers. man was puzzled
at first, but soon he realized that he
had been made the victim Of clever
fraud. The doctor, however, interpret
ed his agitation as caused by his COM
plant. and when after two hours mat
ters were finally explained the lady i'm
