WANDERING DOLLAR.
An Excellent Example OF How Fast
Money Travels.

Thirty years ago II was common for
school-boys, when hard pushed for so
called composition, 10 write an imaginary
autobiography Of some everyday object,
coin, for example, or knife Some Of the
fiction thus invented was undoubtedly
strange enough, but not much Of IL could
have been stranger than tho adventures OF
gold piece MS narrated Tor fact by one OF
our exchanges n appears that young
woman I'm New Jcrsoy had gold dollar
that she especially valued Tor tho sake OF a
monogram macribed upon It,
The coin was attached to bracelet by
chain. One evening ip February, after
slcigh ride. its owner missed 1t, and the
broken chain showed plainly how 1t had dis
appeared Search was at once made, but
without avail Finally an advertisement
met the eye ~ q loufcr about town, who
said that ne had found the dollar below the
steps Of the sleigh the morning after the
ride, and had spent u fur whisky at n
saloon
The friends Of the Young lady determined
TO find the keepsake II possible. The bar.

the very day the butcher gave II TO him,
aud that the ticket agent made some re-

The search was continued. The agent
remembered the dollar, aud said that he
laid n aside Tor fcw hours, but that II

and ho had instructed him to place IL aside
for few weeks Unfortunately, In the
absence OF the clerk, gentleman desiring
several hundred dollars in gold. prcpara-

with the amount, aud the little piece had,
IN some way, been mixed with that sum
and gone westward. Tho gentleman =

January 3, 1886, little after midnight,
and on tho ocean nearing 1T, Helena, was
the good American ship Frank N 1hayer,

Soon after the midnight watch was changed
the captain was reused from sound sleep
by hearing his name called In tone OF

above the companion-way he received n
number OF stabs In the face, neck and head,
but lie managed to see that his assailants
were two Manila Indians, members Of his
crew.
He fell TO the floor beneath, where the In.
dams followed him and plunged their knives
into his side, leaving linn for dead. The
carpenter, the lookout man and mate were
killed. The balance Of the crew were
