Our rival, the rascal : a faithful portrayal of the conflict between the criminals of this age and the defenders of society, the police . ashed out of thesands of remote placers of prodigious richness, in El mouths of these tempting bags are untied and their loadsof glittering dust are dumped on a table. You can handle thedust yourself, says the spider to the fly, and the dupe revelsin the novel sensation of plunging his hands into the heap andclawing over the yellow grains. Take a spoonful home withyou! says the spider, and the fly goes off with a neat littleparcel of good gold dust, which has been slily exchanged forthe spoonful which he scooped up and allowed the obligingspider to wrap up for him. This trick of substitution is nearly as old as the first specula-tion in gold mining, but it is still current, not only for thesale of portable gold bricks and dust, but for passing offmountains of barren rock as prolific gold and silver when examinations are made and samples taken forassay by the agents of the purchasers, it has been shown thatthe pretentious mine was nothing more than a gigantic gold.
