Finally he consented. The ceremony
waa performed and while the couple
waited the preacher filled out the cer-
tIdeate of marriage SIM aadeed fhe widow
to Mtgn It a* a witness. BIih algned
what she thought waa the eertiflreto,
never thinking to auapect the preacher
of tny duplicity.
The preacher then foldod the paper
and handed It to the young groom and,
ae they stood waiting, ho gave them
a lecture on their respective duties to
each other in tlirir future partnership,
on the sanctity of the marital rela
tion and on the virtue of forbearance.
"And above ail." he concluded, "let
a i-ro be a religious air always In your
me." .
The couple went away and after pray
er* the proa<-h«»r and Ills wife retired for
the night. The next morning they went
away, after offering to pay for their ac
commodation. which the widow refused
to accept.
A short time thereafter Mrs. IfafTler
received notice from the Farmers* flank
of Klnora that her note for $1,000, duly
executed by her and flue at a certain
date, was In Its hands for collection.
She hastened to the bank to asssure
them that there must be some mistake.
She had no not.- out anywhere. Hut tho
bankers produc'd the note ant' sin* had
to arknnwh'dKo that ft waa her signa
ture upon it.
"Hut I never signed It, unless I did
It In my sleep," she sold. For n long
time she could nut remember when she
could have signed It. The bunk officials
told her to think hack over overy time
she had signed her name In iho last
month. Hhe did so mid told of the
Instance of her signing tho marriage cer
tificate.
'That's It." exclaimed tho bank cash
ier. "That's the omne gang of swindlers
that has been working all through In
diana."
When she thought she was signing n
marriage certificate, she was signing a
S |e for $1,000, which the alleged breach-
kept concealed beneath the other pa
pers, only exposing to her view the bot
tom edge of It, upon which she affixed
her signature. The next day he took
this note to the bank and discounted It

Lightning Hod Swindle.
This la .the very newest "con gome" to
be worked upon the honest farmers of
this country. It Is an evolution from
and an Improvement on the old lightning
rod fraud, by which farmers of the
southwest were swindled out of enor
mous sums that probably aggregated
millions of dollars. That also was work
ed by Inducing the farmer to sign a pa
per which afterward turned up a* his
note for from $100 to $ft,oog.
Miss May Heavy entertained a party of
young frienda at a beautiful Christmas

An Improvement on that swindle w as
worked more recently In certain parts
of Kansas. Oklahoma and Texas during
tho oil and gas booms there. It wan
customary for tho producers of oil and
gas to travel through the country that
waa supposed to he underlaid by oil and
J rns and get the farmers to sign mineral
rases, which entitled the operator to
prospect for them and to pay tho In nil
owner 10 !*>r cent of whatever was found
and aold.
A swindler, pretending that be xm an
agent for nn oil or gsa company, would
get lh* farmer to sign wlmt ho thought
wo* a contract for the mineral rights to
the oil under Ida land, but tin* docu
ment would turn up In the local bunk
with his signature to It.
The law gives the victim no redresa In
such cases, even though It Is plain that
he was swindled. All It Is necessary for
the holder of the note to prove la that
the signature to the note Is genuine and
the note Is cottsettblO.
