only have about $1,000 to my name, So
l will have to get some one to go in
the deal with me. You two can come
in for $4,000 each. Are you on? And
wait minute, you needn't agree right
now, but meet me at ten o'clock in the
morning and go with me to the Nine
teenth National and see my friend for
yourself"
The two agreed to meet Cleland on
the morrow and said goodnight. "And
what do you think of it," inquired
Floyd as they went down on the ele-
vator. I'm little afraid of it."
"Well, let's look into it, anyway" re-
turned Solomon. 'If there's chance
to pick up some easy money,
want it,"
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 a small compartment in
his shirt sleeves with a package of
papers in his hands and a pencil be-
hind his ear. Danny looked the part
of a busy clerk and they heard him
whisper nervously to Cleland that "it
was all right" He added that he
would be at the appointed place at
precisely IL o'clock.
The appointed place was small
dingy office of a dilapidated build
ing on New street. Cleland ex-
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. It took a half hour
to count this out and ascertain that
there was 100000 in the lot. Fifteen
thousand dollars in large bills were
placed in the hands of Danny, who
hurried away. In five 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 a
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.
1T was only a 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 was 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 /

see sure and quick profit, and asked
for particulars.
Its perfectly simple" explained
Cleland. Il once did young fellow a
good turn and kept him out of a 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 city's 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 O KS the
amount on the back of the package
and forwards it with lot of similar
bundles to Washington, where the old
and dirty money is never counted, but
just ground up and destroyed. He has
thought the whole plan out and says
he can substitute a phony package for
the one with the old bills in it. 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 up
with 100000 in good money in it. All
he wants is half for his share and l
can give him $4,000 in 500 and $500
clean bills and take the package. l

whats the game, Floyd?' inquired
Jack Cleland who had visited his
friends room in the hotel ten minutes
after they had reached the big Broad
way hotel.
well, old top, you know what we
are on here for" was the reply.
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. 1t must be some one, SO why
not our friend Solomon? He's already
delivered himself"
The trio met in the lobby of the
hotel 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-
theater, however, Floyd was indeed
the gay man of law away from home
for 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
liked the gay life but was beginning
to have a 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
the drummer telephone number and
invited him to dine and join them in
another little friendly game.
Again Solomon won, but his win
nings were small. The salesman, also,
was allowed to carry away few dol
lars for his evenings work. Floyd,
however, made a heavy winning and
Cleland lost $4,000, playing with the
feverish recklessness that comes to
the average loser at cards. The game
broke up when the salesman an
nounced that he would have to quit
and get few hours sleep before ap'
pearing at his place of business. Gle
land went off to his room with q
crouch, refusing even to take a
'night-cap" drink. Solomon, however,
readily accepted Floyd's invitation to
take in some of the all-night restaur-
ants.
81 wonder If our friend has left town
without saying good-by," remarked
Solomon to Doc Floyd two days after
the poker game in which Cleland had
lost his money to Floyd. He had not
appeared since that time.
II wonder?" replied Floyd. Lets
inquire of the clerk at the desk and
see il he's gone" Acting upon this sug-
gestion they learned that Mr.. "McCle-
land" the name under which Gle
land was known to them, was still in
town, and in fact was in his room at
that moment.
Lets go up and see what ails hin"

missed you for a couple of days and
thought we'd look you up. Haven't
cut us out, have you?"
ITO tell you the truth, fellows,
haven't felt very cheerful since made
that losing. I'm only salaried man,
you know. and can't really afford to
play that kind of game, even If my
salary is big one. It isn't that I'm
worrying about just now, though, for
I've got q chance to get more than
even. My conscience will hardly let
me do it though, and besides I've got
to have more money than I've got to
put the deal through"
Buck up, and tell US about it" broke
in Solomon. And say, kid, don't let
your conscience put too much weight
on you. Throw it away and get rid of
the handicap, but don't do anything
to get into Jail. l don't mind telling
you that there are two or three places

piled Cleland, Frightening perceptibly,
polished actor that he was.
Eyes, go ahead and out with it," re-
turned Floyd. "You know we lawyers
hear some strange stories now and
then and can't afford to be too partic-
ular as to our clients"
"Well, I'll tell you on one condition"
agreed Cleland. "That condition is
that you come in on the deal with
me. I haven't got enough capital to
put it through, anyway. There's no
danger in it, and it's a sure way to
make big haul"
Both Floyd and Solomon agreed to
come in on any deal where they could

~ With all chances for a hitch in
the great championship battle
between Jack Johnson. the negro
heavyweight title-hoider. and Stanley
Ketchel, the middleweight leader, APP
rarently set at rest by the assurance of
the principals and their managers, at
tention of tho fight-loving public this
morning became focused upon Pro-
moter Coffroth's arena.
Mission street, the great thorough
fare leading to the ringside, was alive
with gaily colored automobiles Colma-
bound. for the spirit Of the Portola fes-
tival already has spread over the city.
and the fight today is looked upon as a
fitting curtain-raiser to a week of ex-
element. Street cars decked in bunt-
ing and flags long before the noon hour
carried heavy loads of men on their
way to the bleachers. Before the gates
opened at II o'clock there was a long
line In waiting. There was every in
dication that Coffroth would come up
to his expectations Of a $4,000 house.
Sporting men are here from all over the
country.
No work was done in either camp
yesterday. Johnson showed himself in
the downtown streets, driving his au-
tomobile and smiling his golden smile.
He talked with easy assurance. and
appeared to have no shadow of doubt
that he would pass the crisis in his
career as a fighter with flying colors.'
Ketchel was out for a short run on
the road. His manager said he was
not doing any worrying over the out
come. Both men are reported to be in
the best kind of shape.
Fight enthusiasts and trainers. who
have watched both men in their work,
expect to witness a great battle.
Johnson's chances are told in his
superior weight and reach, while
Ketchel has a hard blow and a game
ness that is devoid of fear.
Statements made by the principals
on the eve of the 2o-round battle indi-

In tho case of Jackie Clarke and

1t was decided hat no punishment

II was because it was pointed out to

asserted that he was not receiving a

py JACKIE Clarke and his sympathizers
was one which deserved condemnatory
action, n a rule was then passed
