THE CONFIDENCE TRICK TOUCHING FAITH IN UTTER STRANGERS.

The confidence trick season, which always revives with the spring when visi tors are once more flocking to London, in getting into its fult strkle again. writes John Blunt in the taily ni, and almost every day now one may read of some sari Lale of woe

Why visitors from the Dominions and America should display such extravagant large shins in their pockets, why they should display such a touching faith in Complete strangers, and why they should hand over their money "temporarily " just to prove that they have such faith are mysteries, which I have never been

able to fathoni.

It is not ns if the victims were people ignorant of life. On the contrary, I im agine that most of them are persons who have had to carve out their own fortunes and who are shrewd and capable as Bess men. It may be true that they haye not see much of the guile of cities, bi they must have had considerable experi ence of the guile of life.

SICH FOOLS,

Their actions are inexplicable to me. and though one cannot but feel sorry fur a man who is cheated out of a large sum of money by a rascal, one also feels irritated with the än for Jeing such a fool as to be cheated in such a way.

But I suppose it is possible that a per son who is extremely astute in ordinary business dealings may become little wiser than a child when he is on a holiday,

In

business he is naturally cautious and wideawake,,,but the holidays spirit may make him expansive and trustful This is the only explanation I can sug- gest, and even that does not seen at alt adequate.

For the conddenre. trick. like the Spanish prisoner trick, has been explored again and ain in all its moves and yet it seems just as successful now as ever it was,

THE SAME OLD STORY.

Perhaps that is why the people who i work show so little originality. Apar ently it is a certain type of man; noj more gessary to invent a new kind of swindle than it is necessary for a spider to invent new kind of web. But the Ries don't warn other dies, wherds the newspapers are constantly warning man. kin against coullence tricksters,

The confidence trickster flatters you by first trusting to your honer. Your hold his money, while he goes for a walk, and. then, having proved that you are as true as steel and feeling, presumably, a vir tuous glow all over you, you are quite prepared in your turn to take a stroll while he is holding your money.

And, indeel, it is possible to argue that judicicas flattery is the one key that un- locks all doors. I am not at all sure that the great success some people attain, ur, at any rate, the great popularity they possess, is not mainly to be traced to a highly developed power for sable fat
