There came an accident by which the

You may have seen an April fool hat

stone under It. and It 18 a trap for the
unwary.
Mr Masters hnd never run across an
April fool lint. He had never kicked a

ways kept his feet under him Would

Then the stranger got an option on
the ten acres on the hill and on two
stores, the tannery, the sash factory
i ml eight or ten other places. In each
Instance ho offered a price and that
,,,-lee was at least three times what the
nroperty wns worth.
What did It nil meant What was
going to happen? It was no use to

wanted more options. Some said It was
some said petroleum: some Iron
or copper or lead It was e?cti report

There followed Just what might have
been expected nnd Just what the
stranger did expect. ? By the time he
had secured options to the number of
twenty Whitewater wns seized with a
fever The price of real estate began
lumping. A house nnd b>t worth $1,000
one dav were held at $2,000 or more the
next. There wns n gravel ridge run

was that diamonds were to he found In
this gravel. There was a creek Just
south of the towu. It was contended
that tho hidden petroleum would be
found there. Under tho land on the
hill was supposed to be a great reser

For two weeks there was no business
but buying and selling. The congrega

the town thnt didn't chnngo hands at
least three times. In a quiet way the
stranger sold most of his 0Pl,?? at

about. The stranger had disappeared.
Of a sudden no ouo wanted to buy
Before noon there wns a rush to sell
inside of- twenty-four hours the
pffipertles were, being offered for $3->0
It is always so In the reaction. W hen
the town settled down n bit It found
thnt It hnd been set back twenty years
and would have to pare its potatoes
very close to keep out of bankruptcy.
And the stranger? Ob. he didn t
count, ne was simply the agent of the
man higher up-thc man who had kick
ed the April fool hat No one.k1nl?^
hln.. but all had felt him. He had kick
ed tho town as well as the hat. Mr.
Masters was noted for bis dignity an
not for a spirit of revenge, but when a
millionaire has made an ass of hlmseir
and driven his toos back to his heels as
well he wants other tilings to happen,
doesn't be? Aprils have cotno and
gone since that panic, but 'here have
been no more old hats to kick.
