Because you are going to give

"Whereupon the millionaire secret

felt confident. His friends with
whom he had taken luncheon had put
up job on him. They were testing
him as to that statement of his that
even II he gave his word of honor
to thief he would keep the word
inviolate.
"'Well, thought the millionaire,
I'll show those buffers
"'You are q cool rascal, said the
millionaire to the visitor, but / sup
pose there is nothing else for me to
do but to yield to. your game, since
/ am here alone and utterly defense

you, but I'll get you yet, mark thati"
'All l ask you to give me your
word about, sir replied the visitor,
is that you will not stop the payment
on the check. After | cash the check
l shall attend to the matter of my
own safety
Put your gun down then and l
shall go over to my desk and write
you the check
And he did write the check and
hand it to the visitor The check
was on a bank right around the cor
ner from the hotel.
Now said the visitor, ready to
depart, you are giving me your sol
emn word of honor as a gentleman
and as business man that you will
not stop payment on this check?'
The millionaire nodded, and the
visitor left. The millionaire sank
into chair and laughed aloud when
the man had gone.
I'll show these rascals up for
putting up that job on me, he
chuckled. They'll have to own up
that l beat them at their own game.
Probably they'll be up here in half
an hour or SO, with the man they

this man hands me my ten thousand,

stop payment on the check
But his friends didn't turn up,
nor did they appear to respond to the
millionaire's chuckles when he met
them at dinner that evening. Then
he up and told them all about it.
They gasped with amazement. They
told him, with all solemnity and
truth, that no job had been put up
on him. He had simply been victim

(which is exactly what happened,
and the way it happened was this:
Seated close to the millionaire's
table at luncheon that day, and over
hearing their talk about the inviola-
bility of their word of honor, was
Alonzo ]. Wakeman, the celebrated
forger and all-around con man, who
wasn't known in his true light at the
hotel at that time. This Wakeman
had been Mayor of Duluth and had
come close to getting into Congress
from Minnesota at one time, too, but
he fell into bad ways and took to
forging. Wakeman heard talk be-
tween the millionaires and he deter
mined to profit by it, that's all. He
knew that If he stuck up the million
aire right on top of that talk the mil
lionaire would conclude that the job
had been fixed up on him by his
friends, and he won out by acting i'm
mediately on that presumption.

check and went to Europe. He was

syntax chiefly by Erasmus; the re-
mainder by Lily, tho book being then
the joint production OF four of the
