will call No. one came to the office of
agent No. two a few days ago and
nslfpd 'o. '2 if he had anv trood buys
on hand, saying ho was in tho market .
for something good, Xo. two said ho
had one silt cdircd buy but hesitated
about showing it because ho hnd no
contract on it and frankly told No.
ono that be hod no contract, tho lat

nize Xo. two's right if the land was
purchased, on tho strength of this tho
property was shown and the owner's
name given, putting No. one square
on his honor.
The property did not suit him ap

turned it down hard, thus putting
dealer No. two entirely oft bis guard
and ngent No. 1 steered direct to tho
owner and purchased the property
amounting to several thousand dol
