she would turn to bag of salt.
Near to Walker was a vacant
house, the very thing for Aunt
Mollie" a new home. She could
get it if she would act quick. She
was introduced to a real estate
agent. The house and lot was
valued at $500, for which Aunt

confiding in Walker, she thought

She wrote Walker, and he re.
piled that should he turn over her
deed they" would make HIM
pay the whole thing. He didn't
tell Aunt Mollie" that nobody
had ever yet succeeded in max
ing him pay anything, and that
he owes everybody that would
trust him. Growing more sus.
picious, Aunt Mollie" sent a
lawyer over to see what could be
done. She gave the lawyer $40
for his expenses and he reported
they would relinquish her deed
upon payment of $50. That is
the amount of the holdup, but
Aunt MOllie' will do well to get
out of it so lightly. Had the old

been robbed of her last penny.
Aunt Mollie" is a good woman,

her and her family for over
twenty years. They have always

THE CONFIDENCE GAME.


When the confidence man, the
hypocritical wolf in sleeps
clothes, starts out to do his fel.
low creature, his chief depend.
ence is upon tlattery. He be.
lieves, and not without evidence,
that the compliment, or more
properly speaking in such cases,
tlattery, is the skeleton key that
unlocks every heart and opens
every pocketbook. Vanity OF
vanities, all is vanity, saith the
preacher" and on this world old
truth the system of the hypo-
critical flatterer is built.
To say that all men love praise
is a good crop estimate, so to
speak, of human weakness. AS
a matter of frank truth, all of us
do love praise; every one of Us
can be tlattered; every mothers
son and daughter of us are amena.
BILE to the soothing influence of
compliment, but few of US are so
egotistical as to care for fiattery
that is open, unblushing and in
exhaustible. 1t must be applied,
to be agreeable, sparingly and
iudiciously, as if it were a pre-
cious ointment-not thrown at US
with a scoop shovel, as if it were
a substance 50 sweet and ad-
hesive that some of it could be
trusted to stick.
The artistic tlatterer also scores
in having nice sense of apprO-
priateness. When he means to
play upon our vanity he does not
meet us on the street and,
apropos of nothing, pass us a

US to have glass of grape juice.
He bides his time until he finds
US in a receptive mood, and then
he steers the conversation gently,
imperceptibly, until he has got
ten us in the middle of the stage.
Then he turns the calcium light
full upon US, and when he passes
the flowers of speech across the
footlights to US they seem so
natural and spontaneous that we
accept them without a word of
protest.
Being past. master in this art,
and knowing that mankind
which also includes wOmankind
is hungry for tlattery, G. N.
chameleon Nutty) Walker of
Critic fame, uses that gift of his
oily tongue as tool to reach his
coveted graft, the same as bank
rObber uses his jimmy to reach a

had some tlattering remark to
make about them. One was the
best looking in seven states, an.
other the purest Christian, and
so forth. Early after he came
here, and soon after he fleeced

that Aunt Mollie" White was
the purest Christian and the
best woman since Mother Eve.

and make him comfortable. The IL
brary will be at his disposal"
Magniff, thoroughly disconnected
stood glowering at the comte, uncer'
tain whether to buster or to accept
this most distant hospitality. And
then, with most charming courteous
ness of which, | am sure, l should
never have been capable. the cheva-
lier's mother arose.
II shall see to 1t that your sheets

as though he were the most welcome
guest THE grounds are at your dis

Magniff swung on his heel and

CHAPTER VII.
The Stolen Treaty.

The Stolen Treaty.
(Magniff lays down his hand, and I
find his cards stacEed.)
At last the day arrived on which
the safe containing my bonds was to
be opened. My bonds, l say-well,
hardly mine, since / had blindly sold
them to the tanker for paltry $780,
900, not knowing their value to him,
when might have utilized his need of
them to force Magniff to release my
grandfather from his mortgage. 1 re-
fected with some bitterness upon my
folly. Still, even $4,000 was not to
be despised. That would enable my
grandfather to meet his interest and
thus retain Clichy for at least two
years, during which period much might
occur
AS to the future of myself and
Charles / dared not think. Marriage
was out of the question under the pres
ent circumstances Every penny that
could be scraped together had gone
to pay the interest on that miserable
mortgage, and in three months more
the interest must again be met.
1--WE shall be driven to giving exhi-
billions in our monoplane for bare
living sun-goddess," said Charles to
me, gaily. l could not re-echo my
fance's mirth. Since the loss or theft
Of the treaty draft Charles had been
suspended from his Office in the diplo-
matte service Of France. feared, too,
that suspicion had fallen on him. He
had no other source of income than
fantry regiment, from which he had
been detached for special service of
the state
Despite the fact that, IL accordance
with my agreement with the financier,
was to receive $4,000 upon the safe
being opened, arose on the appointed
morning after a restless night, over
whelmed with misgivings. Empty and
vain as they appeared to be, could
not but recall Leopold Magniff's
threats. his self-conf1dent assurances
that the chevalier and stood on the
brink of ruin. What schemes had he
prepared for us? What might he not
have done, being in possession of my
key, as felt sure he was? l voiced
my fears at the breakfast table. but
Charles laughed them away Much as
he hated US, he argued, Leopold Mag
milf would hardly dare utilize his pos
session Of my key to remove the bonds
from the safe, since they could not be
negotiated, and he would merely be
placing himself within the grasp of
the law.
You win find the bonds in the safe,
Anne" said Charles optimistically.
"Or, rather, we shall"
"You will come with me?" l cried,
and all my fears and doubts immedi-
ately resolved themselves.
We asked advice of my grandfather,
who cordially approved Of the cheva-
lier's suggestion. For you see," he
said, 'our little Anne came to us in
such an unexpected fashion that she is
liable to disappear, perhaps in the
guise of some beneficent fairy, after
having saved Clichy to US, If we per

known him. His great age-eighty

to manifest itself. Not that his viSor
