Copyrlf ht, 1WT. by P. O. Kastment.
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."
"I never cheated a man in my life,"
