'Wberever the idle rich of the country assemble lo pass the Sum- mer or Winter mouths there also gather the swindlers and gratters. who live on them. and Florida is one of their chief hunting grounds. How a rich New Yorker was swtndled out of $100,000 without knowing perhaps. that he was swindled. is told by E. H. Smith, a writer for a newspaper syndicate. He does not mention names. but voucbas for the truth of the story. lSince no charge was niade against the swindlers, it might well be risky to name them. and ‘at is more than probable that tlie victim would re- iuse to prosecute, knowing that he had no chant-e lu recover his rri0- ney, but an excellent chance of be- ing the laughing stock of his friends.‘ 0t course. the swindle has to do with race track betting, which is Lira favorite rrrctllurn. now that It is no longer possible toscli counterfeit money to citizens other- wise law-abiding.
