AND THE FEUD CONTINUED

For seven whole years bitter
feud had existed between the
Browns and the Roblnsons, next.
door neighbors, the trouble having
originated in the depredations OF
Browns cat.
Neither had dreamed of making
II up until one day the cat died,
and Brown decided that, while
burying II. he would also attempt
to bury the hatchet. So he sent
the following missive to Robin
son:
"Mr. Brown sends his compli-
ments TO Mr.. Robinson, and begs
TO inform him that his old cat
died this morning"
Ten minutes later Robinson's
reply arrived.
'Mr. Robinson" Il read, "is
sorry to hear of Mr.. Browns sad
bereavement, but he had not
heard that Mrs. Brown was ILL.,"

Splendid idea Humphreys re-
Piled, and next day they both
punched their entire $4,000 each
on a horse-which. OF course, lost.
Humphreyes was overcome with
sorrow and wept real tears, but
not. 1t can be readily understood,
as many as Hiram did. He and
Humphreys consoled each other,
however, and Il was finally agreed
that Hiram should go home and
raise some money and return and
meet Humphereyes and win back
what they had lost and handsome
fortune besides. Meanwhile Hurl-
burts check was put through the
banks and collected, and Hiram did
not then have the faintest suspt
cion that he had been trimmed"
e This was one Of our little epi-
sodes in gay Miami. but II was
only one of the little money-mak-
ing schemes which profited us that
season. Indeed, during the very
period while we were establishing
confidence with and working up
the Hurlburts for $4,000 Humph-
reyes pulled off a little trick that
won him $4,000.
While travelling around the town
Humphreys made the acquaintance
OF two or three fairly prominent
clergymen, several doctors and
other men who were visiting at the
hotels, and who were of eminent
respectability in their home cities
further north. II was decided that
Il would be diversion for them
to see real prize fight.
Back home In their own cities
these people would hardly like 10
have 1t known that they had been
in attendance at prize fight but
they were off on a vacation and
did not mind seeing one on the
quiet In Florida. | do not remem-
ber all of the details Of this little
episode, because Humphreys man
aged IL almost alone. and so much
OF my time was given 10 my atfen-
tions to Mrs. Huriburt.
At any rate, Humphreys staged
a fight between two pugilists. One
of them went into the ring equip
ped with a rubber sausage affair
which was filed with chickens

the little bladder of blood In his
mouth, and the fight started.
Just as things had warmed mp in
about the third round one OF the
fighters landed a smash over the
other lighters heart. and with an
awful cry the fighter with the
sausage bit through the skin OF the
thing and emitted out of his mouth
an enormous gush of blood, which
spread out over his chest. With a
CHASTITY groan he sank to the floor,
and at that moment four or Ave
policemen, with big badges, rushed
In. climbed into the ring, and one
OF them shouted:
"The mans killed! You are all
held as witnesses"

Well. In Hurlburt's presence
Humphreys put into the bank over
$4,000. And, Ia Hurlburts pres
snce, he made out check, payable
to the club. for $26000 Hurlburt
was very much impressed, when he
heard that Mr.. Holmes" intended
TO bet ali HIS money on race that
afternoon. His excitement kept
growing uatil. indeed. we began TO
fear that the prospect OF seeing
Humphreyes win double his money
that day was more than he could
stand.
Keeping close to Humphreyes's
elbow, Hurlburt went with him TO
the little room where the telegraph
ticker gave the name OF the horse
to bet on few moments later. He
saw Billy place the $4,000 on
two-to-one horse. which meant that
Humphreyes would win $50.000
and, of course, get back his origi-
nal s25, 900 that he bet.
The picture was too alluring.
Hiram insisted on being In on the
thing, too. He wrote his check on
a New Hampshire bank for $25.000
and made the same bet that
Humphreyes had made.
In a few minutes the announce
ment was made that the horse had
won and Dady's cashier calmly
counted out $4,000 as the win
nings, and then counted out and
paid back the $4,000 Humphreys
had placed as his bet.
The cashier then started In TO
pay Hurlburt his $4,000. when
Dady. the proprietor, ssuntered up
and said:
wait! waitt" he demanded.
Take back that money. Hold IL.
These bets, both of them, were
made by check. We can't do bust
ness that way. Nothing but cash
is accepted. You"-he pointed TO
the cIerk-"you should have known
that"
That was Humphreyes's cue.
But" said humphreys. zoo
know my check is good. I've
placed bets here before"
"Oh, yes, of course, I know-Pm
sure everything In all right. But
nevertheless, we have to do busi-
ness In a business way. Checks
are not our way. That's all. Just
take your check--we will hold your
winnings; it's right here; We don't
melt away in a minute. Come back
with your checks cashed, and
you'll get all you've won"
This was what they had to do.
Now, of course, II was easy enough
for humphreys to get his check
cashed. For Hurlburt 1t was hard
er. But who wouldn't get a check
cashed, even one on distant New
Hampshire bank, when he knew
that fifty thousand dollars would
be his II he succeeded. So finally
the thing was done.
Then the miracle happened,
while Humphreys and Hurlburt
we're on their way back. And the
suggestion, for the miracle, came
from Hurlburt, who by this time
was ready for anything.
"Why not leave all this money
right here" said Hiram, "and bet
on a race tomorrow IL We put
all our winnings on race and
double this whole bunch OF money
II will be something worth while"

into a gambling establishment run
by a famous crook from Delaware
named Dady, where horse-rsce bets
were taken. The stage was all
rigged and Hurlburt was allowed
to see how the thing was done. and
on his first visit was permitted TO
win 5000. or course. Hiram had
first been tiptoed into a room In
another building where he heard a
telegraph ticker give the advance
tip on the winner Of race.
Next day Hurlburt was around
bright and early. and wanted TO
know when Humphreys would
take him 10 the club house again.
That afternoon. at race time, Hurl.
burt was again taken TO hear the
tip come over the wire and again
was allowed TO win his bet in
Dady's poolroom 81 900 this time.
Hiram looked at the money, nm
gered Il, put II In his pocket and
went home to his wife at their ho-
tel. There was $1,000 OF real good
money which he had certainly won
in those two bets. There could be
no doubt about it. The thing was
exactly as president Holmes" had
said. Sure enough, those people In
that club house had established
some kind OF wire scheme where
by they had got information in ad-
vance and were able 10 know the
name of the horse that had won
the race so that they could place
a bet on him without any possibil-
ity of losing money.
The thing certainly looked abso-
Iutely all right, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Hiram Huriburt were excited be-
yond words Humphreys was
anxious to have me keep In close
touch with Mrs. Hurlburt TO make
sure that they we're convinced, and
remained convinced.
She acted I'm a constrained sort
of way, gave little hints that she
was thinking OF buying certain
things, and when l asked her In
wide-eyed amazement how she
could think OF such extravagances,
she made evasive answers about
their expecting to come into some
money very soon. II was perfectly
clear to me that they had not the
faintest misgiving.
OF course, Hurlburt had no large
sum, of money with him. His let
ter OF credit for four or five thou
sand dollars was not enough to be
worth the bother. We had fxed
the sum of $25,000 as about the
proper limit of what the old skin
flint could be expected to be
robbed.
Dady, the gambler, who was pro
prfetor of the exclusive club
house" at Miami, where we intend
ed to take" Hurlburt now came
forward to "bankroll' Humphreys,
This means that he supplied
Humphreys with $4,000 in real
money to stage the final act OF the
tragedy.
Dady, OF course, was a crook, but
one OF those captains Of industry
OF crookdom who finance others OF
the profession in need of consider
able capital. There are such men
in every city of the world, to whom
other crooks, OF good standing, can
go and be financed. The commits
sion charged Is 25 per cent.
