to pick up some easy money, I

On the following morning they were
convinced that the deal was a good
one when they went to the Nineteenth
National with Cleland, and visiting
the safety vault section of the bank,
met Danny Roberts as that young man
came out of small compartment in
his shirt sleeves with a package of

also seemed to notice his presence at

chance that he was invited to make
the fourth man in the game
The play was not resumed after din

about all he could afford, but the party
to retire for the night. Solomon,
Floyd and Cleland had all agreed to
make their headquarters at the Hotel
Astor during their stay in New York
and see more of each other. The
drummer had told them that his home
was in the city but that he hoped to
look them up during their stay.

Jack Cleland who had visited his
friends room in the hotel ten minutes
after they had reached the big Broad
way hotel.

Another little game in which Solomon
may win a hundred or SO may add to
his good feelings, and III put him over
few high jumps while the lights are
burning brightest on the Great White
Way"
The trio met in the lobby of the
hotel a few moments later and Solo,
mon insisted on having just one drink
before they parted company for the
day and then also insisted that they
dine together that evening. The only
dissipation Cleland would indulge in
that evening after dinner was the the
alter to which he consented to accom-
pany Floyd and Solomon. After the
theater, however. Floyd was indeed
the gay man of law away from home
for a good time and he put Solomon
through such PAGES as to endear him
to the heart Of that boisterous person.
This journey through the tenderloin
was followed by another. Solomon
Fixed the gay life but was beginning
to have pain in his pocketbook. SO
that when the third evening after his
arrival in Gotham, Cleland proposed
another game OF cards, saying that he
wanted revenge for his loss on the
train, there was ready consent on the
part of the westerner, who proposed to
make some one else pay his expenses
if he could Cleland already had found
tae drummer telephone number and
invited him to dine and join them in
another little friendly game.

planned that it was the office of a
friend who dealt in curb stocks and
was seldom in, but allowed him free
use of the place. The trio were wait
ing when Danny Roberts, carrying a
suit case, entered. He Immediately
took from the case two packages, ex-
actly alike in appearance and as to
outer signs and seals. Quickly cutting
one of them open, he disclosed large
bundles of money. 1t took half hour
to count this out and ascertain that
there was $4,000 in the lot. Fifteen
thousand dollars in large bills were
placed in the hands of Danny, who
hurried away. In Ave minutes the
old bills of perfectly good money
were divided into three packages of
equal amounts and tied up into neat
paper-bound parcels on the roll-top
desk
Just at that moment there was
knock on the locked door of the Of
flee and Cleland slammed down the
top of the desk and kicked the waste
paper underneath before he went to
answer the summons.
"It was only customer looking for
my friend" he remarked. as he re-
turned and raised the top of the desk,
disclosing the three neatly tied par
cells. You fellows had better take
your bundles and separate. We will
all meet at the hotel for dinner"
Solomon and Floyd, acting like two
conspirators, agreed to take separate
conveyances uptown to their hotel and
to meet there later and drink to their
good luck.
Two hours later, when Floyd had
not put in appearance, Solomon began
to feel nervous. He vas afraid some
thing had happened to Floyd and Gle
land, but for another half hour he
did not suspicion anything further.
and then he suddenly decided to go to
his room and investigate his newly
acquired wealth.
"Stung!" yelled Solomon when he
undid the parcel and found a tightly
bound package of tissue paper with a
dollar bill on each outer side. And I
never once thought Of the old green

was allowed to carry away few dol,

SURPRISED HIM

lescence did not seem to care for any
kind of food.
II knew something of Grape-Nuts
and its rather fascinating flavor, and
particularly of it's nourishing and
nerve-building powers, so l started the.
boy on Grape-Nuts and found from
the first dish that he liked it.
His mother gave it to him steadily
and he began to improve at once. In
less than month he had gained
about eight pounds and soon became
SO well and strong we had no further
anxiety about him.
"An old patient of mine, 73 years
old, came down with serious stomach
trouble and before I was called had
got so weak he could eat almost moth

He had tried almost every kind OF
food for the sick without avail.
Il Immediately put him on Grape
Nuts with good, rich milk and just
little pinch of sugar. He exclaimed
when I came next day why doctor l

II am pleased to say that he got
well on Grape-Nuts, but he had to
stick to it for two or three weeks,
then he began to branch out little
with rice or an egg or two. He got

hopeless condition. He gained "a

Parasites on Sheep.

Some authorities claim that sheer

than one year before it is plowed anC
reseeded, owing to parasites, but il
has been shown that sheep have beer
kept free from parasites by the use
of tar, turpentine and salt. Bore two
inch holes in pine log, fill with salt
and smear tar around the top, and
sheep will tar their noses while eat
ing salt. Sheep soon learn to eat tar
One sheep raiser keeps it mixed with
turpentine and salt, where it is acces
sible at all times. About one-hab
pint of turpentine to one peck of sail
is the proper proportion.

Keen the Teeth Rjcht.

A bulletin of the Colorado expert
ment station says:
Remember that the horses feed is
not cooked, and therefore his teeth
must be in good condition to properly
masticate his food T. will we'll pay
every farmer to examine the teeth
of all his horses at least twice a
year. 1t is worse than throwing feed
away to give it to horses that can
neither masticate nor digest it. Poor
feed and bad teeth are responsible for
three-fourths of all the COLES and
other digestive disorders of the horse.
Horses are worth money. 1t pays
to keep these things in mind.
