markable counterfeit twenty dollar United

deceive even persons accustomed to handling

more remarkable Is the fact that the work on
the note is executed with pen and ink. All
the intricate figures and curves, all the heads,
the seal, the fine engraving work, and even
the fiber in the paper are almost perfectly
counterfeited by the pen and ink. The sigma.

wonderful piece Of pen work. 1t was de-
