Another Good Thing Comes His
Way With Money to Invest.
NOT EASY AS HE LOOKED.
Caller Wanted Profit of 9 or 10 Per
Cent on Kit Investment ? Gave the
Major a Bogus Check That Mads

[Copyright. 1J0S. by T. C. McClure.)
Mujor Crofoot, grand promoter, had
been figuring, and ho was a bit lonely
He owed his landlady, bis laundress,
bis tailor and a dozen different men
who bad taken chances and loaned him
a dollar. He also owed for office rent
and a gas bill, and the last shovel of
coal bad been fed Into the stove. As
assets be bud tbe sum of ID cents lu
cash. He was wondering how to make
uotblng go Into something and leave
something over when there came a
knock at his door. He made no reply,
nnd It was repeated. It wasn't tbe

FLATS.
aggressive knock of a landlord after
back rent nor yet the half hearted
knock of his laundress come for the
lie was owing, but yet feeling that she
would never handle a penny of it. and
"at the third knock the major rose up
and opened the door, nud his heart beat
again as be found a stranger there.
"Is this Major Crofoot's office?" was
asked.
"It Is. Come in."
"I'm looking for the Major Crofoot
that has all sorts of good things to In
vest In."
'Then you have come to the right
place. Have a chair."
"Thanks. Now, then. I don't wish to
take up your valuable time. Have you
got anything good on hand? I want
something perfectly safe that will re
turn me 9 or 10 per cent on the money."
The major U'gan nibbing his hands
and almost gas|>ed for breath. An
other sucker had come along at last.
As soon as be could work up a smile
and control his voice he said:
"My dear sir. I have got half a dozen
of the best things going. When you
speak of U or 10 per ceut dividends It
makes me smile. I don't deal in such
small flsh. Anything 1 take bold of
must pay 30 per cent or 1 drop It."
"Good Lord!" ejaculated the caller as
he sat up.
"Thirty per cent at least, sir. What
would you say to stocks paying dollar
for dollar?"
"Can It be possible?"
"Perfectly possible, my dear Blr. The
Great American Chicken Gizzard com
pany Is going to do better than that
this year. The fowls are fed on chalk
and their gizzards thus whitened. They
are then cooked, spiced and canned.
Sve shipped 10.000 cans to the czar of
Itussla yesterday. He has no gizzard of
his own. you know-"
"And If I put In a thousand dollars I
get the same amount back In dividends
racb year?"
?There Is no more stock for sale, my
dear sir. I Just mentioned the Giz
zard company as a sample of my work.
There Is the Perennial Cucumber com
pany, but I'm afraid it's hardly good
enough for you. It won't pay over 40
per cent this year."
"But I'm willing to take 40 per cent,"
replied the man. "Gee whiz, but what
mau can ask for more than that?"
"Very fair, very fair," loftily replied
the major, "but nothing to brag of. Be
ing you have come direct to the office,
1 want to pick you out something ex
tra. Let me see. The Universal Glass
Eye company paid 60 per cent divi
dends two years ago, but last year
dropped down to 30. It will be still
less than that this year on account of
hard times. Lots of one eyed people
will stick a patch over the eye and let
It go at that If you'd come in a
month ago I could have let you in on
the ground floor of the Magic Rat and
Mouse Destroyer. The stock went like
wlldtlre, and the last was sold at $200.
We figure it will pay 400 per cent divi
dends for the next tweuty years."
"And I can't get in! Thunder, but
why didn't I know about if?"
Greatest Thing In World.
"Greatest thing In the world, my
dear sir. It Is a trap that goes to the
grocery and buys the cheese to bait lt
self and then comes home and follows
rats and mice into their holes to catch
them. Keeps its own tally and buries
its own dead. Senator Koraker said
he would rather be the inventor of that
trap than to be president of the United
States."
"But you must have something for
me," Insisted the callur In anxious
tones.
"Let me see! Let ne see! Hiunph!
How nbscntmlndoil 1 am this morning!
Just ns you knocked I was mnkli * up
the Incorporation papers for luy lu:;t
nnd t>est scheme. It's ouo ihat'll lay
over all others. 1 was saving It to be
gin the yenr on."
"Good! Good! What Is It? By
George, old fellow. If you put me on to
something good you shan't lose by It."
"You know what delicacies turtle
*oup and turtle steak are considered?"
"1 do."
"And you know the high price frog/
legs bring?"
"Yes."
"Well, that's the basis of the (Jreat
Western Banquet company. Just organ
ized. We are going to rent nine square
miles of Lake St. Clair flats and raise
our frogs and turtles and can them on
the spot. They will l>e canned In chain
pagnc, and the labels on the .cans will
be handsome enough to frame nnd hang
lu any one's parlor. Three turtle
Bteaks and two dozen frogs' legs In
every cau Killing nnd canning takes
place every day. We shall control the
market of the world. No bnnquct com
plete without our goods. The Emperor
William writes"?
"I don't care a cuss what thes.Ein
peror William writes, but I want some
of that stock!" Interrupted the caller
"What dividends do you figure on?"
"Well, last night I was figuring on a
straight 100 per cent, but this morning
I thought I ought to make a little nl
lowance. Many turtles die of home
sickness. you know, and a certain per
cent of the frogs are bound to Jump
the wire fences and get away. To he
very safe and conservative I have put
the dividends at 05 per cent. I think
that Is n rather neat figure, don't you?"
"Great! Great Scott. I've lieeu lend
ing money at i! per cent!"
"How? how much were you thinking
of Investing?" asked the major In a
voice that trembled In spite of himself
"Twenty thousand dollars, perhaps."
The major's knees grew weak and
wabbly, and he had to sit down, nnd
there was a lump In his throat as he
asked:
"And you? .voii win pay soiiiimmhik
down to secure the stock':"
"A hundred dollars Here's <a check
I'll Indorse over to you, and I'll come
lu tomorrow and pay the balance and
get the stock. By George, but I'm lu
luck! Just think of my Retting lu>ld
of something paying !>r> per cent divi
dends! You won't let Morgan buy the
whole thlug up and freeze me out, will
you ?"
Gives Caller Stock.
"No. You shall have the stock."
"And I'll remember you I'll buy
you a pearl piu out of the first divi
dend. If you want, when you get start
ed I'll show you how to catch frcgs
for cnnulng. There's a peculiar way
of getting hold of them by one Idnd
leg. Nluety-tlvc per cent! I can't help
but dwell on It."
"Yes; It's a good thing," replied the
major n? he shoved the folded check
into his vest pocket in a careless way.
"You will be In tomorrow V
"Sure, Mike. If I was a Frenchman
I'd kiss you for luck, but as I'm uot
we'll shake hands nnd I'll say ta-ta.
Tomorrow! Ninety-five per cent!
Whoop!"
When he had gone the major walked
up and down to calm Ills rngiug heart.
It didn't seem possible. lie couldn't
credit his good luck. Then at last he
took the check from Ills pocket and
looked at It to see what bank It was
drawn on. Ills eyes opened wide, and
he uttered a moan and staggered to a
seat.
It was drawu iu favor of "A. Suck
er," Indorsed by "Another Sucker" and
signed by "Uncle Itulie."
Then the light went out, and the
grand promoter bowed his head and
knew the bitterness of the green per
