LOST $6 AND WATCH
BY 500 BILL TRICK
Colored Woman Is Victim of An.
cient Swindlins Device.

The old game of finding 800 bin
in a pocketbook on the street. which
game. by the way, is so old that 1t is
past the draft age, was worked on a
colored woman yesterday named Jane
Dyson. a resident of Seat Pleasant
Md. making the woman poorer by 81
and gold watch.
Two colored men approached her at
Fourteenth and H streets northeast.
the Dyson woman told the police, and
told her that they had found a 800
bill and were willing TO split it three
ways.
As evidence OF good faith on the
part of the woman that she would
not say anything about their fipding
this money, the two men asked her to
put up a cash deposit which they
were to hold until the bill could be
changed. The woman gave the men
IS and her gold watch and made ar
rangements to meet them a few hours
later at the same spot She went
back to the place where she first saw
the two men and waited She waited
until she got tired and then notified
the police.

Generally, the novel is dramatized

employed as the basis for the novel. The
latter is the case with "Thc boomerang, =
which Mr.. Gray has written from the
very popular play of that name, which
possesses such merit that IN the hands oi
capable actors il has furnished amuse-
mcnt to thousands.
Even more keen will be the enjoyment
of reading Mr.. Gray's book-to those
who have seen the play presented, rs
we'll as these who have not. For ne has

Indeed it is a question whether the
enjoyment in reading The novel Is not
really greater than that of seeing the
play, no matter how we'll acted. There
is more intimate acquaintance with the
characters, much more effective OPP
portumitv Of thoroughly realizing all that
they say and all that they do. The
reader may turn back the pages at will,
and by second reading Of what has been
presented before, get kecncr appreciation
ot the rapid developments and the radical
changes in the current of events AT any
rate, the result of MIR Grays work is a
splendid success.
