"There's a man lu the front office
I^pking for some property in Boonton
county. Perhaps we can sell him the
Gardner tract. You go In and talk It
up at what you think you might get
out of him. then call me and auk what
I think about stjllng at the pTice you
? give. I'll ask If you're crazy to part
with such a proi>erty at the figure, and
we'll have n sham battle over It. I'll
go out uiad, and you sell the property
because you're mail- too. See?"
"Good scheme. -We'll try it on."
Dobson of Dobson & Crain went into
the front office, where he found a
'you n ? man who In his innocence ad
mitted that lib! father had recently
died and left him $10,000 and a small
farm. His purpose was to sell the
farm and buy a larger tract Home
where which was liable to improve in
value.
"I've got Just the thing you want,"
said Dobson, taking out a beautifully
drawn map. "There's 800 acres of it,
which "we can sell you at $100 an acre.
This will leave you a conple of thou
sand for improvements besides your
farm. There's only one trouble about
my selling it to you. My partner Is
dead set upon our taking It ourselves.
I would be In favor of It, too, but
we've got so much now we can't pay
the taxes."
The young farmer studied the map
deliberately and after he had finished
said he would go and look at the prop
erty. Dobsou touched a bell. Au office
boy entered and was directed to call
Mr. Cram. The Junior partner came
lu and was iuformcd by Mr. Dobson
that lie had offered the farmer the
Gardner tract at $100 an acre, where
upon a violeut quarrel ensued, "at the
end of which Mr. Cram left the room
lu a huff, threatening to enjoin his
partuer from making the sale. Dobson
was so angry that he vowed the trado
should be made before Cram had a
chance to Interfere.
The young man took the hook and
paid two ten-dollar bills to kind the
bargain. Before he left the office he
had drawn a check on his bank for
$8,000 and hud a deed for S00 acres
of swamp and hill land, the latter cov
ered with a second growth of worth
less timber.
"Goodby, Mr. Dobson,' he said at
parting. "I shan't force t your effort in
my tiehnlf. and I hope It won't pet
you into trouble with Mr. Cram."
He liad no sooner gone than the two
partners were congratulating each oth
er on the sale.
"Shake, old man." said Dobson.
"You played your part beautifully."
"But you landed lifhi. He's as Inno
cent as a kitten."
Two years passed during which nei
ther Dobsou nor Cram heard anything
of tbo Gardner tract or its purchaser,
when one day Crain said to Dobson:
"The young man we scooped with that
swamp and timber land In Boonton
county is lu tlie otlier room and wants
to see you. Look out for him. Some
one may have put hlui up to getting
even. The law can't touch us, but ho
may have some game to play."
"Trust me for games."
Pobson went in where the young
man was waiting, with outstretched
hand and eyes beaming with kindli
ness.
"Mr. Dobsou," said the youngster,
"that property has turned out better
than was expected. There's coal on
It."
"Good:" exclaimed Dobson. slapping
the boy on the back. Inwardly he sojaL
"Why didn't you say gold or dia
monds?"
"Yes; they say it's the finest anthra
cite in the state."
"Splendid!" Another slap on the
back.
"I'm Indebted for my' good luck to
you. Do you remember how you sold
me the property ^bof ore your partner
could interfere?"
"Yes; I remember that."
"Well, one pood turn deserves an
other. I've got an offer of $250,000
for the proj>erty from n coal company.
I feel that I shouldn't keep all tlfls
good luck to myself, seeing that you
were so kind to me. I'll divide. I'll
sell to you for half, $125,000, and turn
you over the coal company's written
offer, pood for thirty days."
"My dear fellow." said Dobson, striv
ing to maintain a countenance that
would not betray his seeing through
the stupendous game, "you are the
very soul of honor. I'll speak to Cram
about It "
Going to Cram's otllce, he shut the
door and as soon as he could control
his laughter told him how the young
farmer was trying to pay them In their
own coin. After a pretended consulta
tion he returned to the boy and said:
"That partuer of mlno will be my
ruin. Do you kqpw, he's so mad about
my selling the property to you that he
won't consent to my having anything
to do with the matter, and our part
nership forbids, any purchase unless
both consent I'm awfully sorry.
There's a gentleman waiting to see
me."
There was a coolness in the last
words, a steely look In the eyes, that
was not lost on the youngster. He
?4ve nt away, not in anger, but In sor
row, and thinking what a despicable
man Mr. Cram was.
A few days later Mr. Cram rushed
into his partner's office with a newspa
per in his hand.
"Great Scot, Dobson! What's this?
'Big find In coal. Sale of a tract in
Boonton county. A young farmer
made rich.' "
He went on to read that the story
told them by the grateful boy was true
and that they had thrown away a for
tune. EDWAKD B. KIMBALL. _

Joe Kanaka, a Jap, was in ijursuit
of large game a few days ago in the
vicinity of Knik. Instead of being
armed with a thirty-thirty, or any
fire-arm, he carried only a coil of
rope. Seeing a black bear feeding
near a prospector's trail he sprang
upon the hour's baolt, nnd quickly had
a noose of the rope around bruin's
neck. The Jap held to one end of
the rope and succeeded in tangling
the bear in its coils, but the bear
tore Kanaka's clothing to shreds and
stripped it from his body. When the
bear was thoroughly tangled, the Jap
beat Jiim into submission and led

Hansen, T. R. Wilson, P. J. Collins,
Messrs. Ward and Cromer, and the
Harper brothers. The ground is a

will put in a plant, Mr. Regan says,
that will cost from $150,0(JJ) to $200,

known from two seasons' working to
be rich. Conservative estimates place
tho average at $1 a yard. The gravel
is from two to thirty feet deep, with
