Miss Weston,
Capitalist

There IL an old saying 70 the ef.
feet that when a man goes a,fshing
be doesn't know what may happen.
Perhaps Mr.. Guy Hilton had never
heard anything about Il, but he went
ahshing and many things happened
that he did not look for.
Mr.. Hilton went with a little party
Of three, and the quartette camped on
Loon lake and hshed. Il was called
Loon lake, because no one unless he
was looney ever went there thinking
to catch FISH. After a 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
got a nicked IN his pockets. Il would
be all right, however, when the pen
niless man got down to the viilage-Of
Rockford. Some merchant there
would cash his check on a city bank.
He would want only four dollars for
railroad fare.
Mr.. Guy Hilton didn't look ike 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 q
check for four dollars and asked the
leading merchant in the town to
cash It.
That game is too old even fer this
village" was the reply.
Game? Game? 1 have money in
this bank" said the astonished young
man.
But you ought to have it 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 a friend in the
city and have hundred dollars sent
up. He went to the postofice, which

and apparently finds it hard to secure
a suficient number OF intelligent
birds. A goose recommended in "A
Book for a Rainy Day" would prove
an acceptable recruit. Il have heard

to the report OF Hon. Charles A. de
Courcy, chairman Of the committee on

apprehended. The others were either
convicted or executed or committed
to the insane asylum. In Chicago dur
ing the same period 202 homicides
were committed. Only one OF the Of
tenders was hanged, fifteen were sent
to the penitentiary and the others
were exonerated by the grand jury,
acquitted, discharged, or otherwise set

the slot.
"But-but / don't happen to have it,"
he replied. That's what 1 want to

Il don't see how you can do it with

master.

Better have a dollar or two now.

Mr.. Hilton went down to the depot
to try the railroad telegrapher. A ten
word message would be 20 cents. No;
no messages sent collect from strang-
ers. They had got through that sort OF
thing long ago. When the stone broke
man went to the inn. He had a watch
that had cost him $3.50 He laid it
down in front OF the landlord and
said:
Il want to stay for day or two UNI
I'll l get some money up from the city
by express, and this will be your
security. Please provide me with a
postage stamp, that may write let

The landlord hefted the watch as
he would a stone, drew the chain
through his fingers. and then winked
a long, lingering wink and replied:

bill Stacey, the constable, will be

him what I mean Bill can get on to a

Mr. Hilton walked back to the depot
with a resolve in bis heark There
would be train in about an hour,
and he would board II, and If the con
ductor tried to throw him off instead
OF taking his watch in liou of ticket,
he would fight for his life.

couldn't account for his detected look
aad nervous bearing. but hoped he had
received no bad news 70 take him
home.
Mr.. Hilton walked up and down the
platform. Then he entered the sitting
room and read the time tables and
other interesting literature Then he
walked a block up the street and
walked back again. Then he walked
straight up to the young lady and
said:

Il md myself in An embarrassing

and he laughed. Then she said:
'T-lost my purse once .whengI was
q hundred miles from home, and II
seemed for a time that I would have
to walk home. This will help you
out'~
She took a hve.dollar bill from her
purse, and extended It, but the con-
fused and blushing young man shrank
back, and protested:

to ask you for money. / just wanted
to tell you that-that-"
THAT you were what they call

There was some one looking in the
door as that FIVE dollar bill changed
hands. It was Constable Stacey. He
had followed the trail Of the suspicious
character. When he saw the money
passed and the two laughing and talk.
ing he scratched his head and said to
himself:
Mighty suspicious circumstances
and l ought to arrest 'em both and
find out their little game, but as it's
near supper time / guess won't put
myself out"
There surely was a little game in it
but arresting the pair might not have
brought it out. 1t was six months
later, when Tommy Weston had re
turned from South America, that he
backed Guy Hilton into a corner and
said:
Now, then, tell me all about it,"
''Why Fannie found me dead broke
