Miss Weston,
Capitalist
BY CL0udise SissOn

There is an old saying to the eff.
feet that when a man goes a-fishing
he doesn't know what may happen.
Perhaps Mr.. Guy Hilton had never
heard anything about it. but he went
a-tishing and many things happened
that he did not look for.
Mr.. Hilton went with little party
OF three, and the quartette camped on
Loon lake and fished. 1t was called
Loon lake, because no one unless he
was looney ever went there thinking
to catch fish. After couple Of weeks
Mr.. Hilton was taken with chills and
had to go to a farm house and call a
doctor, and the other three broke camp
and went home.
In two weeks the patient was cured
and ready to follow. Then came an.
other unexpected thing. When the doc.
tor and the farmer had been paid Mr..
Hilton found himself stone broke.
When a man is stone broke he hasn't
Sc; nickel in his pockets. 1t would
be all right, however, when the pen
niless man got down to the village of
Rockford. Some merchant there
would cash his check on city bank.
He would want only four dollars for
railroad fare.
Mr.. Guy Hilton didn't look like a
confidence man. He wasn't SLY, sleek
and slick. Like any other man with
fair bank account and reasonable
trust in human nature. he wrote out
check for four dollars and asked the
leading merchant in tho town to
cash ii.
THAT game is too old even for this
village" was the reply.
Game? Game? ! have money In
this bank" said the astonished young
man.
But you ought to have 1t In your
pocket instead"
You can telephone the bank and
make sure it's all straight"
But Of what interest to me? I am
not here to help folks out of troubles
they get into"
How foolish the stone broke man
had been to apply to stranger, when
he could telephone to friend In the
city and have hundred dollars sent
up. He went to the postofice. which
