note in payment. MIR. Flanagan took the
note and stepped down to the First National
Bank to consult Mr.. Armstrong, the cashier,
in regard TO its character Alter due exam
nation 1t was pronounced a counterfeit. Mr..
Flanagan returned to the store, but the man
had taken the hint, and lel hastily a few
