1 he typewriter was clicking away at
a great rate, and a man vr.,* sitting
near watching the Dying fingers o f the
operator. H e wus waiting to see tbe
attorney who was the employer o f the
operator, and when the attorney final,
ly entered the visitor did not observe
his approach.
“ Hello,” exclaimed the proprietor of
the office, “ what are you looklug at
my typewriter so absorbingly for?
Have you been dreaming that he was
a lovely maiden iu disguise, or some
other fairy story like that?”
"N o,” replied the visitor, ” 1 was just
tryiug to realize how difficult a feat I
saw a man perform yesterday, down at
one o f the hotels, where there Is oue
of the fastest operators In town.”
"W hat did he do? Jump a board
bill?”
“ No, that's easy. What he did was
different. A man who was with hint
had some sort o f trade on, 1 don't know
what, but Just before they proceeded
to conclude it, the other man said he
wanted to w rite a letter to his partner
In Chicago. He had It already draft
ed in pencil, and he took it over to the
far side of the writing room and hand
ed it to the «iterator, saying to he csre-
ful, us It was very Important, and to
get It done at once. Then he joined
the other man. but before they began
talking a third party called the first
man aside for a short talk. As these
two talked, the operator at the machine
clicked at the letter, and the man who
was waiting for some reason, watched
the operator very closely as her fingers
flew over the keys.
“ The letter was finished at least three
minutes before the talk was, and when
that was done the operator handed
the man the letter in an envelope duly
uddressed and went back to her ma
chine. The man put the letter in his
IMK-ket just as It was handed to him.
" 'I hope you will ixirdon me,’ lie said,
turning to the waiting man, 'for so
much delay, hut It was unavoidable.
However. I'm ready now to close with
you at the prices named.’
“ ‘And I'd see you hanged before I ’d
sell to you at any price.’ said the other
man in a suppressed tone, greatly to
the surpriRe o f the man with the letter
in his pocket.
“ In another minute there would have
been a fight on. but I rushed in, us did
another party, and in the excitement
the man with the letter got aw ay and
disappeared. In response to our In
quiries as to what It was all about, the
man told us that he hnd made a study
of training the e.ve to quickness, and
that he practiced It whenever he saw a
typewriter at work. He had so per-
feeted himself In it that he could fo l
low the fingers o f the fastest operator,
and he could read whatever he might
happen to be writing. In this case he
had done the same without thought,
because the man with whom he had
the trade on was engaged for the mo
ment. Before he had rend five lines of
the letter, however, he discovered that
the man was making arrangements
with his partner in Chicago to swindle
him out o f $5,000. It was a cold-blood
ed cose o f steal, nnd the wonder to him
was that he hadn't hit the scoundrel
first and told hint why afterward.
"Th at was all there was to It,” con
cluded the visitor, “ except thnt we
tested him and found he could do what
he said, and now, If you don’t think It
is a difficult feat, you watch your op
