SWINDLER BEATS
THE GROCERS
CLEVER GAME WORKED BY THE
SMOOTH ONE BY WHICH HE
GETS GOOD MONEY FOR A
VERY POOR UHECK.

Working a swindling game which
has been operated with success in
the city of Portland and Eugene,
but for all that new to the general
public, and certainly both unique
and clever, a swindler entered the
city several days ago and COM
menced operations on the merchants
and in all cases, save, one, he sue
ceeded. The merchants are now en-
deavoring TO apprehend him AMI
Sheriff Minto last evening took intp
custody George Brown, and while he
has been identified as the guilty par
ty by several persons, the sheriff
was not satisfied this afternoon that
he is the swindler, but rather in
clined to think that he is innocent
of the charge lodged against him.
But be that as 1t may, certain 1t is
that there were two out of three Of
Salems leading grocery stores who
bit at the game, whoever put 1t up,
and Il cost them just $15 each TO
learn that they had been made the
victims OF a fraudulent check artist.
How Game Was Worked.
The first victim of the swindlor
was Weller Brothers. In this in
stance the swindler secured rooms
at the Olive lodging house and tele-
phoned the firm to send some groc-
cries to the place as he had house
keeping rooms there. He also told
them to be sure and send along
with the delivery man enough mon
ey to make change FOR $40 bill as
this was the smallest money he had
The firm sent both the grperies and
the money as directed.
where the swindle came in, When
presented with the bin he inquired
II his wife had not paid II, saying
she had gone down to the store for
the purpose, expecting TO reach II
before the dellverymen departed
Upon being advised that she had not
settled the account he informed the
deliveryman that he did not have
enough money about him to pay the
bill and therefore would have 10
tender his check. The check WINS

may be, and signed by Harrison

Guess she'll be mighty careful what

chuckled as she disappeared down the
walk to the Sunday school room.
Polly stood motionless where Mandy
had left her. She hardly knew which
way to turn. She was happy, yet
afraid. She felt like sinking upon her
knees and begging God to be good to
her, to help her. She who had once
been SO Independent, so self reliant
now felt the need Of direction from
above. She was no longer master OF
her own soul. Something had gone
from her, something that would never
never come again. While she hest.
tated Hasty came through the gate,
looking anxiously over his shoulder.
swell, Hasty?" she said, for it was
apparent that Hasty had something
important on his mind.
Its de big one from de circus" he
whispered exc1tedly.
1.-THE big one?"
"You know-de one what brung you. -
"You don't mean"- Polly's question
was answered by Jim himself, who
had followed Hasty quickly through
the gate. Their arms were instantly
about each other. Jim forgot Hasty
and every one in the world except
Polly, and neither Of them noticed the
Mortified Miss Perkins and the Widow
Willoughby. who had been crossing the
yard on their way from the Sunday
school room with Julia. 7.

There was no answer. She had turned
away with trembling lips. "And Ruth

and drew her face toward him, mean
ing to prompt her.
'Entreat me not to leave thee" she
| pleaded. Her eyes met his. His face
was close to hers The small features
before him were quivering with emo
ton. She was so frail, 50 helpless, so
easily within his grasp. His muscles
grew tense, and his lips closed firmly.
He was battling with an impulse to
draw her toward him and comfort her
In the shelter Of his strong, brave
arms. '"rhey shan'tv' he cried, start
ing toward her.
| Polly drew back, overawed. Her
soul had heard and seen the things re.
vealed to each Of us only once. She
would never again be a child.
Douglas braced himself against the
back of the bench.

INJURED. Her face was averted; her
white lids fluttered and closed.
Nonsense! OF course you can.
Come, come; I'll help you" Douglas
spoke sharply. He was almost vexed
with her and with himself for the
weakness that was so near overcom-
ing them. "And Ruth said, 'Entreat
me not to leave thee'"-
"Or to return from following after
thee she was struggling to keep
back the tears" for whittier thou

younger than Mandy had ever seen

Polly had turned her back at the
sound of Mandy's voice and crossed to
the elm tree, drying her tears Of hap
piness and trying to control her newly
awakened emotions. Douglas felt in
