The grand promoter ant In hi office doing a little mental arithmetic. II wna owing hi landlady f'.'l for board nd lodging, and he had ttiut morn ing given him nolle that he must pay or leave., II couldn't pay, and he didn't want to leave, and he was fig uring on bow many honeyed words It would take to permit him to bang on a week longer In hope that something would turn up. There was kuock at "tvn solo riTi cow and tbkss hood 1 ron THia." the door. It might be a creditor and It might be some one of whom he could borrow 60 cent. He took hit chance and bade the knocker come In. It was Uncle Reuben from tb coun try. There wore burdock on his trou sers, corn Bilk on hi shoulders and this tledown la his hair, and hi smile wan as bread and Innocent as a sunflower. It just carried one back to mother flapjacks and maple molasses to look at him. . "Say, I'm looking for a feller" be announced a be stood In the door. "Ik you want the corn doctor or Ut dentist?" queried Major Crofoot "Nope; I'm looking for a feller named Crofoot-a feller who speculates and makes a bar"! of money every week. They say be had an office In this building, and I want to see Mm. Zeke Stebbtns was telling about blui at our postofflee the other night." "I am the man," said tb major as be rose up and placed a chair for his call er. "Sit right down. You have come to the right place." Tbanky. So you make lots of mon y for other folks?" "Yes; I divide up a few millions oc casionally." "You do, eh? Waul, by gaul, you are the critter I'm looking for. I've bean trying copper and silver mines and wheat and stocks and haven't made a red cent I want to bit a sure thing this time." The major's heart thumped like an engine. Lie re was innocence and sluj pllcity and confidence; He hadn't bad to bunt it up, but It bad walked dl rectly Into bis arms. He saw any wberes from $10 to $50 in It, and he Dlnched himself to sue if h was awake. "Just sold five cows and three hogs (or this," continued Uncle Reuben as le took out bis wallet and exhibited a check for $190. I can spare It for a good investment, but it's got to be a sure thing. Zeke said you didn't deal In anything else." "Your friend was correct I specu late to make, not to lose." The Major's Motto. "That's the sort of a man I like to deal with. My motto has always been to first get a sure thing and tben go ahead. I never could see wby a fuller wanted to speculate and lose. Oot anything extra good on band jest now?" '" ' " ' " " "The best thing I've had on band for five years," replied the major as he tried bard to conceal bis emotions. "Yes, I was just figuring out the profits when you knocked, and tbey are so tremendous that I'm a bit upset over the figures." "Yes, I notice that you are changing color.every mlnlt or two. Let's hear about it That's what I'm after profits bigger 'n a bouse. No use fooling around six months to make a hundred dollars. Zeke said you sometimes made a hundred for ono." "My friend, I bavo promoted sixteen gigantic enterprises, and each and ev ery one of them has been a magnificent success, I am now about to launch the seventeenth, and, as I said, the profits will be something appalling. Your coming In here this morning Is an act of Providence. I was Junt looking around for an innocent, honest man to act as treasurer of the new incorporation-some one that can b trusted with 110,000,000 at a time."
