Jack Cleland who had visited his

after they had reached the big Broad

You've got to sell an order Of green
goods to some one. You are lucky
because I've already found your man
for you. It must be some one, SO why
not our friend Solomon? He's already
delivered himself"
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

desk.
Just at that moment there was a
knock on the locked door of the Of

top of the desk and kicked the waste
paper underneath before he went to
answer the summons.

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

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 was afraid some
thing had happened to Floyd and Gle

did not suspicion anything further
and then he suddenly decided to go to
his room and investigate his newly
acquired wealth.

for particulars.
Its perfectly simple" explained
Cleland. Il once did young fellow
good turn and kept him out of lot of
trouble. He's the trusted messenger
in the Nineteenth National bank here
now. This bank is the clearing house
for a lot of smaller banks and also
gets the biggest part of the citys de-
posits. They get thousands of dollars
in old and dirty money every week
which they turn in to the subtreasury
on Wall street, getting new bills in re-
turn. This young friend of mine has
been the messenger and made the ex-
changes. He says they never even
open the sealed packages of bills that
he takes to them and which have been
certified TO by the officers of the bank.
The subtreasury simply KS the
| amount on the back of the package
and forwards 1t with lot of similar
bundles to Washington, where the old
and dirty money is never counted, but
lust ground up and destroyed. He has
thought the whole plan out and says
he can substitute phony package for
the one with the old bills in 1t. He
| has to have some one in the deal with
him. for he would never dare to try to
get rid of the old money. l saw him
this afternoon and tomorrow he will
have to make his regular weekly trip
and the package already is made VI
with $50, 900 in good money in 1t. Al
he wants is half for mis- share and
can give him $4,000 in 500 and $500
clean bills and take the package.
