by the week. And when Banker
Charles had presented his card and
was shown into the private Office
of President Fredericks," he was
overwhelmed by the magnificance
of it all.
President Frcdcricks" was that
playful little scamp, Mr.. Buck
minister. He sat at a mahogany
desk that almost filled the room.
A double row of pearl push but
tons was at his elbow. There were
several telephones on the desk. He
was talking into one when the
banker entered.
'T'll have that block of steel
stock for you in the morning, Mr..
Morgan" he was saying. Eyes,
yes; that's quite all right. Your
check for $15O,000 will be all
that's necessary. Well, good-by,
J. P. III see you next week in
Newport"
Buckminster hung up the re-
ceiver and studied the bankers
card through a pair of Oxford
spectacles.
"Now, sir" he said briskly,
what can | do for you?"
IL have 1000 shares of Decatur
Copper for SALE" said the banker.
Buckminster looked startled. He
recovered himself quickly, but the
cunning banker had noticed his
concern.
your stock is worthless, Mr..
Charles" said the broker. Frank
ly, Pm surprised at your visit"
The banker, who had been
coached beforehand, turned to go.
"Wait a minute" said Buck
minister. "There is a remote pos
sibility that operations may be
started in that mine" He
blushed and gagged, as if he had
made terrible blunder. "I'll give
YOU three cents a share for it,"
he added suddenly. mot penny
more"
81 want two dollars a share"
said the banker, with a knowing
smile.
"What?" cried Buckminster.
"Come back to earth. I'll give
you four cents, and Pm swindling
myself at that"
The bargaining started. At the
end of half an hour the broker
met the bankers terms of two
dollars.
at beats me how you knew we
were looking for it," he said in a
puzzled way. 81 guess the cat
must be out of the bag"
He scribbled out check for
$4,000 on a Chicago bank in
which the conspirators had de-
posted 100000 that morning.
The check was part of the prop
critics, and made things seem more
real than ever.
When Banker Charles cashed
the check and handed the money
less his $4,000 commission-to
Mr.. Weed he felt that he had
never made money so easily in his
life. He envied the lucky Mr..
Weed and his list of stockholders,
and he could hardly wait to tackle

him. He was electrified to learn
that a Major Faversham had call
ed from Chicago to say that the
fiscal agents had arrived with him
and could not stay later than eight
that evening. There was just time
to catch a train which would get
them to Chicago at o'clock.
AS the train neared Chicago Mr..
Weed offered to take the stock
certificate over to the brokers'
office while Banker Charles went
to the hotel direct. After the ne
gotiations Mr.. Weed would meet
him with the money and they
would split it.
Banker Charles went lickety-
split to the hotel and asked for
Major Faversham.' The clerk said
that no one of that name was
registered there. The banker
rushed madly about, but could find
no trace of Judge Osborne, the
major or the financial agents any
where. His $8,500,00O plans were
up in the air. 20
As an afterthought he called a
taxicab and drove to the brokers
Office, hoping to find Mr.. Weed.
But all he found was an empty
suite of offices, and all he got was
the elevator starters explanation
that the party that engaged them
had vamoosed without paying the
rent. Banker Charles began to
experience symptoms of headache.
Now, if he had that stock certi-
ficate he might be able to say
something to the police. But that,
too, was gone.
He rushed around TO the ad-
dresses of the men from whom he
had bought stock. They had all
moved away. In Kokomo he learn
ed that Mr.. Mcintyre had rented
the farm the day before, and had
vanished the next day. The bank
er finally got lingering suspicion
that he had been thoroughly
feeced.
When he took the stand at the
recent proceedings in Chicago, dur
ing which We'll, Buckminster,
Jimmie Head and Tarbeaux were
sentenced Tor neeclng Banker
Charles Worden, of Fort Wayne,
in the same way, he still refused
to believe that Professor We'll, of
whom he had often read in the
newspapers as "The Yellow Kid"
was anyone other than Mr.. Weed,
of the Standard Oil Company.
"Well, well, we'll" he exclaimed
as the prosecutor pointed out the
professor and called him by his
real name-Weil. $50 that's Mr..
We'll. | can hardly believe it.
I've heard of him again and again,
but he certainly fooled me, just
the same"
We'll was a prudent man. Be-
fore the net closed in and his host
of victims appeared to testify
against him, he "salted away" his
winnings in his wife's name, so
that not one penny was recovered.
He is one man who need not worry
about the future when he is re-
leased from the penitentiary a few
months from now.

HOME CURING or PoRK

A number Of requests have been
made during the past month for IN
formation on Home curing of Pork
and q brief outline on same may not
he afniss at this time, Anyone wish
issg more detailed information can
write 10 this office and bulletin will
be mailed free of charge.
A very satisfactory curing mixture
for dry curing Of pork consists Of 40
pounds salt, 10 of sugar lwhite or
broWn) y OF pepper, (white or black)
red pepper " pound, Chilli Salt Peter
if used 2 pounds. This cure should be
thoroughly mixed and is sufficient for
1000 pounds of pork. Pieces selected
for curing should be thoroughly rub
bed with the cure, especially around
the bones and into shank end of hams.
Pack meat into box or on a bench
leaving a liberal sprinkling of cure
over each piece. Repeat twice at 5 to
6 day intervals, repack and leave till
cure is completed. Then sides or small
pieces will be cured in 1912 days.
Heavier pieces should remain in cure
2 days for each pound of weight OF
piece in order to become cured thor
oughly enough to keep all summer. As
soon as pieces are cured brush off ex-
cess cure and wash in warm water.
Then soak for " hour in luke warm
water to remove excess cure from ont
side. j. asa. z->' 8
Smoking Cured Pork 0
Hang pieces thus cured in smoke
house SO pieces do not touch. Suspend
4 or feet above fire and good idea
is to suspend a piece Of sheet iron
about 2 feet above fire to deflect heat.
Almost any kind of wood can be used
but dry oak or ash fold posts can be
used) are probably the most satisfac-
tory. s tos8 days should be sufficinet
time for smoking depending on condi-
tion of smoke house. After smoking
hang meat in a place where there is
good circulation of air as it will
mold in damp or muggy place.
