The Stranger

A traveler who says he is from a foreign country. While passing through Hadleyburg, he suffers an offense that angers him. To gain revenge, he devises a scheme to expose the prominent citizens of the town as vain and corrupt. His scheme involves tempting each of these citizens to tell a lie in order to claim a sack that the stranger says contains about one hundred sixty pounds of gold. In one of the notes he uses in his scheme, he signs his name as Howard L. Stephenson.
