As he te usually a fair specimen of the follow who wants something for nothing, and doesn't much care how he gets it, the fact of his undoing isn’t « matter for supreme regret. It ts customary for ¢wo crooks to pull this time-honored swindle, one posing 6 an Indian who speaks no English, or very little, the other acting as the tool and confidence man who induces the sucker to buy the brick. ‘The story told by the ‘‘con” man, after he has made the acquaintance of the chap he has picked out as the most probable mark, ts that on @ recent trip (to Maine, let us say) he tn his wanderings through the hills came across an! Indian whom he befriended in a «mall way. In return the Indian had told him of @ cave in the woods from which gold was extracted, The Indian had brought a bar or brick of this gold and exhibited it to nis friend. The friend might have the brick for, #ay, 81,00, the gold being worth many times this amount. ‘The trouble with the befriender of Indian was that he didn't happen to have the thousand dollars with him, so he had come to the city to raise it. Now, the gentleman would propose an arrangement—4f his acquaintance would advance the thousand dollars necessary to the purchase of the gold bar he might have $2,000 back immediately thereafter, or as soon as the brick had been avid. Or they might go partners in the matter, dividing the gains after the original $1,000 had been subtracted, The bar was worth probably $10,000, Having selected with much care the prospective sucker, it 1s unlikely that the latter will pass up the opportunity to make easy money. So the trip is made to the wildwoods, and in due time the Indian comes stalking around the edge of ‘a rock, the brick concealed about his clothing. He gravely greets his friend and nods to the come-on, When he shows the brick the men produce a «imiet which the confidence man operates. Apparently he selects a point at random for boring, but in reality he taps a carefully prepared spot where gold has been filled in The two take the flings and leave the marked brick with the noble red man, promising to return. ‘The nearest goldsmith will pronounce the fillng# pure gold, and little time will be lost im hiking back to the country where the Indian {. ‘The money 1» paid over, The sucker ts allowed to keep the brick in his custody uml @ wale can be mad Shortly after the confidence man makes some excuse for leaving the sucker for a minute. He forgets to come back, When the purchaser of the gold brick takes it to the golismith to get @ valuation he 4s speedily let into the fact that for his thousand dollars he has @ piece of “stage prop” worth a couple of dollars. He seldom locates the confidence man, and, If he did, there would be Uttle satisfaction to him, because the latter could claim that another brick had | been substituted apd thet the original brick, from whtoh the filings were taken, was pure gold, And he even less often finds the Indian.
