Many Checks Were Paid.

That was the first Of many checks. In
a very short time Wilson developed into
a local Monte Cristo. The Local hotel did
not please him. so ne built a modern
house Whenever his account AT the
Blackstone National became low he went
10 Worcester. and from the Bay State
House would telephone an order 10 Moen
10 come over and bring your checkbook.
Moen always did a. he was told. In one
year his name was upon paper for ap-
proximately 500 90 that Wilson put
through the Blackstone Bank.
In Worcester and UXbridge II soon be-
came a matter OF gossip that IL was Phiip
l.. Moen who was the fairy godfather
Why nobody knew. though the most popu-
lar guess was that Wilson's knowledge
about the manner In which the patent
for making barbed wire was secured was
the secret

there he married a Miss Farnum. WHO
