check for $15. Just before the boy
arrived Mr.. Hackett was called to the
telephone and the voice from the
other end said it was Dr. Thomas H.
Phillips of No. 624 Franklin street
calling. The doctor is one of Mr..
Hacketts customers The man on
the other end of the phone told Mr..
Hackett he had sent a boy to his
store with a check and he asked the
grocer to do him the favor of cash
ing it.

the Market Street Title and Trust
Company at Fifty-second and Market
streets, Philadelphia. 1t was for SIS,

could not be found when he went tt

ed DR. J. w. Bastian and in another
