After an interminable wait the telegraph
instrument began to click. A man walked
over to the blackboard and wrote the name
of the winner. The name he wrote was

vinced by Doe that he had made a mistake

overjoyed. But before he could cash in il
was announced that there had been a mis-

A GAME" OLD AS THE HILLS

The scheme which, it is said, was en-
ployed to fleece Walker is as old as the hills,
and although it has been exposed by news
| papers dozens of times its operators still
find victims. When a banker of this city
was asked by the writer how he explained
this fact, he replied. grimly:
There is only one way, and that is that
dozens OF fools. not one, are born every
day. and the fact that there is something in
human nature which acts to hypnotic q
mans common sense when proposition is
put up to him for getting something for
nothing"

man. Louster told the police that he was
a grocer in his native town, but had made
| enough money to dabble in real estate, and
! had accumulated snug bankrol, when
Hartman came along with a proposition.
Was Louster interested in helping engineer
a real estate deal whereby. with his valu-
able knowledge, he might reap riches which
would turn Croesus green with envy? Was
he? He certainly was.
II was Hartman's scheme, according to
Louster's account. TO buy up options on
| land in Florida that some Baltimore capl-

them at enormous advances. To prove his
standing Louster went over to Harrisburg
and had his check for $4,000 certified.
