The officer dropped his paper and looked
up, stolidly. at the speaker.
II am not here to make charge, but to
ask help at onee?" cried the young man,
following up his first statement before the
sedate sergeant had an opportunity to speak.
Take it easy. SIR" said the officer, calm;
ly, tapping bell at his side. ''Where did
the affair occur?"

The two policemen who had been sum-

After half an hours search about the

turned to the station as wise as when they
left it.
No one on board the vessels moored along

The Five - Cent Piece.

Some one abou. the Philadelphia
mint has n mania for putting new fac
es on coins and unfortunately cool
judgement and good taste seldom at
tend the performance. The five cent
pieces has been struggled with often
and once more coined atresh. The ar
list, having exhausted bis fertility Of
invention. has produced coin resen-
bling IN size and one Of its faces the
lalf eagle, and on the other face be
has omitted to say that the coin rep
resents cen ts instead OF dollars; so some
one has el!hed ore Of the pieces and
begs to know why it is not as good as
the half eagle it resembles. 1t is not
a counterfeit, because it is genuine
Issue Of the mint; and as It does not
say VIVA. the ", which is the only
expression o. us Valuer uleh'S, IL may
as well be taken to mean dollars "a
cents, At any rate, q plated coin so
closely resembles a half eagle that it
may readily be taken for one, and
consequently the new idea CT the mint
comes at once to grief and extinction
notwithstanding the beauty claimed
for it. II is not, however, better look
ing than the old piece, and there seems
to have been absolutely no excuse for
its creation, except the restless d asrs
for change so natural to the managers
OF the coinage.
