« > • • - b. r A 8HKGWD SWIfTDfcE Oiwofthe sharpest cases of swind­ ling that has recently occurred in this •trinity took place yesterday at one of •ur;promtivent dry goods stores, no t far from the corner of Winter and Washington streets. A finely-dressed lady entered the shawl department e»f the store in question'and, after careful examination, selected a camel's hair •bawl, costing about. #100, for which •h« tendered in payment a $1,000 bill, which was carefully scrntinteed by the cashier, who, doubting his power of discrimination, dispatched a messen­ ger to the bank to ascertain the genuineness of the bill. Meanwhile the lady customer had become anxious to procure the change, and had ap­ proached the locality occupied by the manoffcerip when the messenger re* turned and anneunced In an audible tone that the cashier of the bank said that the bill was good. The lady, upon hearing this, waxed exceeding wreth, and demanded to know "wheth­ er he thought she would attempt to pass a counterfeit bill." Of course apol- egies and explanations were of no •vail, and assuming to be highly indig­ nant, she refused to purchase the shawl, demanded her money and departed frem the store the very embodiment •f righteous indignation. A couple of Hours afterward she returned consid­ erably molified, and confessed that she was pleased with the shawl, and that Iter inability te find one which she liked as well was the only reason she returned, and she concluded to take it, which the obliging salesman proceeded to hare prepared, while thecorteous cashier, disdaining to entertain a sus­ picion against such a lady, proceeded te count out the $900 change, with which and her shawl the lady departed. The feeling of that storekeeper can better be imagined than described when he awoke to a realizing sense of the fact that his lady customer • had. after all the precaution, succeeded in passing upon him a counterfeit $1,000 bill. It appears that anticipating just what had occuried, she had provided herself with a good bill, which played its part in the early 6tagesof the game, after which it retired in favor of the counterfeit--Boston Express. mm Trade in ail CASES where you can do your BEST! and in that WAY feather your NEST! but first care­ fully READ the new FALL and WINTER price LIST.
