COBB A RUGGED pe--on, who had acquired a considerable fortune in the **■ wet-goods business and kindred lines of endeavor in the old wide open days in Denver, decided to invest some of his savings in oil and mining stocks. From this beginning he presently progressed to the point where he became an active partner in a stock-brokerage establish ment in Chicago. The venture, so far as he was concerned, did not prove a success. Between two suns both of his partners vanished and he was left to face a large deficit. Expensive litigation ensued.

A fellow that I knowed would drop in to see me and show me some jewelry or silverware or somethin’ and ask me what I’d give him for it. I’d ask him where he got it and he’d say to me: T lifted it tonight at Jones, the Banker's house.’ ‘All right,’ I’d sav, ‘I’ll give you so much for it and take my chances on cleanin’ up a little profit on the reward that’ll be offered. He’d say that suited him and I’d hand him the money and he’d beat it out of town. Then, next momin’, sure enough, there’d be a piece in the paper sayin’ the residence of Mr. Jones the banker bad been robbed the night before, and I’d know I’d bein' doin’ business with a square my.” (Ataer!can News Features.
