this was rather q slow process, and at

the wrOngaoer.
On one occasion, for instance, the
police received information that there was
gang of false money makers in . certain
street; but notwithstanding every effort
they were unable to ascertain in which
house the coiners worked. The services
of the female detective were thereupon
requisitioned, and she was despatched
to the street ia question to see what could
be done. After walking up and down

giving alarm, admitted the detective into
the house. The sudden entrance thus oh.

metallic sounds proceeding from the
coiner's workshop, before the latter we're
aware that any stranger was in the house.
They were not long in discovering their

up from the cellar, where he was vt work,

melted lead at her head. Fortunately
the poke bonnet thst she wore saved her
life; the burns that she received were not
fatal, though they destroyed her hair and
its roots. The police arrived in time, on
hearing the alarm, to arrest eighteen
coiners. The chief, who was first aware
of the surprise, was able to escape, but he
