' There are people imbued with a cer tain love of adventure, and there are other people abnormally curious I be long to the latter class, and my curiosi ty often gets the better of me. My friend mtson; who is a memoer of the secret service on the police force. the night before bad been relating to me some rather interesting reminis cences of bis experience with a certain element of society known to us as ''confidence men," and he was inconsid erate enough to arouse my curiosity. Curio, he said (that is my nick- fame among the boys), "your desire to investigate all phases of humanity may lead you into trouble one of these days, but if you have a mind to try the experi ment and will follow my instructions I think I can provide you with enough amusement to-morrow to last you for several weeks." I couldn't stand the . pressure and jumped at the chance. "You have all the natural require ments, said Wilson. "You look very preen and unsophisticated, and you will at once become an object of inter est to the confidence 'steerer, The part you will play is a simple one. All you have got to do is to make the oppor tunity and the 'steerer' will do the rest, liemember one thing1 under no cir cumstances bet or loan mone to any one you chance to meet." Then Wilson gave me my lesson. A suitable wardrobe was arranged forme to impersonate a green country youth, and bright and early the next morning I alighted from a train at the North vestern depot. I was looking for a con fidence man.and though Wilson assured nie I would not meet with any serious injury or serious trouble so long as I kept my eyes open, still I must confess I felt a certain sense of nervous uncer tainty which in a timid man might be attributed to fear. ; My instructions were limited. When . I reached the depot in the garb of a country youth, all that was required was to conduct myself as a stranger naturally would; stand around the waiting-room for a few moments, and it no one approached me to go to the street and gaze up and down as if un certain which way to proceed. ! I first waited in the depot until the passengers had all left, but as no one approached me I decided to try the street. Here I met with no danger sig nals other than a lot of cab drivers, who tried to persuade me they knew more of my business than I did myself, and insisted that I wanted to take a ride. But I was looking for a confidence man, and I gave these fellows to understand that I was a very positive-minded coun try boy. Between Erie and Huron streets on Wells there is a small dry goods store with rather an odd display in the win dow, and as I came along there were several people standing in front in specting the wares. As I always want to see everything that anybody else considers worth lookin'g at 1 stopped also. Among the spectators was a man who looked to roe to be a Swedish emi grant, and as his curiosity was appar ently as abnormal as mine we were Ioth standing there when the rest had gone. As I was about to move on the Swed ish emigrant turned to me and in broken English said: Meester, yo can tell me var Ay fint State street?" It would have been just as easy for me to tell the truth, and there was no apparent reason why I should do other wise, but it was my mission that morn ing to appear in the light of a stranger, so I answered that I was a stranger in the city myself and could not tell him where to find State street. There seems to be an affinity of soul between stran gers m a strange land, and the Swede warmed towards me. Ordinarilv the Swedish emigrant is not my choice of companion,but I had been disappointed in my morning escapade, and when he asked me which way I came from and where I was going I allowed myself to gradually drift into conversation. I informed him I had just come in lrom Dakota, where I had been working on a farm, and was on my way to my home in Ohio. C. B. IKVnrE. Limy and 7e4 Stable. BABY BURNED.

Tor Sale and Guaranteed by Dealers, The: new gentleman became inter' ested and wanted to try it again, but the Swede said I bad paid for one drink and be would pay for he next. - 2o, the stranger wouldnt 'bare that,' 'so my Swedish friend said he"would play if we would allow him to pay for the drinks In case he failed to call the exact num ber. We both, demurred, but the Swede insisted afltl chose 21 ' Sure enough, that was the number again. . The slick loolcic g friend became more, interested at this, and volunteered that the Swede 1 I . J . . . ? 4 , A 1 . ' mm cociu noiuo )i again, apa wai ne woaia i bet any amount of money that he - I. couldn't. I said nothing, and 'the, j Swede said he never gambled, but i ber. ' ' Our friend excused himself for a mo ment to run across to the drug store, but asked us to wait for him. - Now this fellow looked to me.thqroughly like a sharper, and when the Swede ex plained the dice trick to me during his absence I could scarcely contain my self, v : . v "Ay don't van ten vin his money from him, said the Swede, "but I can do det ever time. Ay learn det in Noo York. Har been de var to doot." You see one side of the dice added to the one just opposite will always make seven, and the three added together will always make 21. Much as I have shaken dice this never occurred to me. When our friend returned and offered to wager $20 that the Swede could not guess the number again I was forced to turn my head to conceal my laughter. The Swede said he was sure he could, and did not want to win the man's money, whereupon the stranger be came a trifle sarcastic and made a few remarks about people's nerve that were decidedly distasteful to me. That Swede called me to one side and asked my advice. Now I may be wrong, but I have no sympathy with what are known as "fresh" people. The Swede had only $10, and I just made up my mind that we would let the slick man lose his entire $20, so I gave him $10 more. It was decided to let the bartender count the dice, to make sure of no mis take. Poor fellow, I really began to feel sorry for the man of polish, and half made up my mind to return my ten dollars of the winnings, accom panied with a little good advice not to . go and do it again. The Swede turned the dice box upside down and guessed 21; the bartender lifted it off, displaying a four, one and six on the top side, making a total of 11. The dice were turned over, and you have probably at some time had that peculiar feeling, wondering how it happened there was a three, five and one, making nine. The total, you see, was 20. No one said anything for a moment, and the bartender quietly gave the slick-looking man the money He courteously bought the cigars, and bid us good morning. The poor bwede, his Heart was broken. He had lost all the mone.y he had in the world and had a long jour ney beiore mm. lie saia ne naa railroad ticket, but not even mone; to provide himself with a meal. Al though he caused me to lose ten dol lars, I really felt sorry for him and gave him another dollar to get some thing to eat. That seemed to cheer him up a little. He gave me his name and the place where he waB going to work, saying he would send me the money, and I then bode him bood-by. Lost night Wilson called to see me. "Well, Curio, how did the experi ment work? Did you succeed in being buncoed?" "Not much. I never even saw a con fidence man. Guess you were trying to play a practical joke on me." "No, I was not. Did you follow my instructions?" "To the letter." "That's strange. You must try it again. So your venture was fruit less r "Well, no, it was not altogether fruit less. A ratber peculiar circumstance happened," and I explained all that had taken place from the time I left the depot. When I had finished Wilson looked at me in blank amazement for a moment and then lapsed into a con vulsive fit of laughter. Now I don't like being ridiculed and ' never did, and as I could not see where the joke came in insisted upon an ex planation. "Curio, my boy," said Wilson, "you are an object of. pity." That made me mad, but I kept quiet. "How it is pos sible for a man of your apparent in telligence to know so little I can't con ceive." i I muttered something about people I who were not fond of my style not be ing compelled to cultivate me, but Wil- " .

No, I did not know much about Minne sota, only having passed through the state on my way to Dakota, The conversation drifted from one thing to another , aa re walked along Wells street, until, .passing" by one of those institutions calculated to cheer the inner man, my new acquaintance asked me to have something warm. I am not a drinking man, but the weath er was cool, and I decided a stimulant would not be bad. so I accepted his invitation. As we were about to order some thing a well-dressed, genteel-looking man came in and spoke to us. "Going to have a drink?" . ' I answered that we were. ' "Well, I thought I'd have something my self .

The Swede consented, but said he only . knew how to shake one kind of dice. He explained his way of shaking, and the slick-looking man agreed that it would save time, so we proceeded. ' One of the party was to turn the dice box, containing three dice, upside down, end wo were all to make a guess at the number the tops and bottoms of the three dice added together would make, and the one farthest from the mark was to pay for tho drinks. Our slick friend guessed 17.' I guessed S3, and tho Swede SO. ; We turnod thobox over, counted the tops and bottoms, added them together. suppose you nave been wonder ing ever since how it happened." To be perfectly honest I had, but I ! wouldn't tell him so. fYoM see. Curio, you ran up against the little game known to confidence men as 'T and B. (top and bottom 1. You are not tbe first victim. Your Swedish friend is one of the bestrknown confidence 'stcerers' in Chicago, and the slick man is his confederate. And now. dear bov. the next time vou tro out looking for confidence men leave your money at home." "That -sounds well, hut you haven't told, me yet how it happened." "Well, von see. while vou were turned away frying to conceal your laughter from the slick man your Swedish friend was substituting dice made to order, on which, the top and ..bottom added together will rwt make seven." Perhaps Wilson was right, but to- ! morrow I'm going to see if I cant find a confidence man that CTl recognize as soon as I meet him.
