an error. He has a letter from the
chief of the secret service depart

ilege of carrying these counterfeit
notes when properly stamped. This letter
Rook showed Special Agent Mulkcy. who,
however, paid no attention TO it, claiming
that the secretary of the treasury is the
proper person to grant such permit,
while the law states that the secretary of
the treasury or any other proper person
may issue such permit, and when Rook
was in Washington City it was decided
that the chief of the secret service was the
proper person. There has lately been q
new chief of the secret service. and this

Imperial Millions.

In next Sundays REGISTER will begin
one of the most intensely interesting storie;
ever published. 1t is by that celebrated
novelist, Julian Hawthorne Life and
love animate the entire narrative, and the
elements of mystery, jealousy and revenge
serve to complicate the situation and in
volve the characters in plot that it re-
quires nineteen chapters to unravel a
mysterious murder casts a dark shadow
over the opening chapter, and the novel
closes with a touching tragedy. But the
general tone of the story is anything but
depressing, and the interest is enchanted
unto the end. The plot turns finally upon
the use of hypnotism in aid of schemes of
villaiuy and shows how dangerous the
practice of this art may become in the
hands of INSCRIPTIONS operators. This
story is American in its scenes and its SEN
timents and is one of the finest creations of
its eminent author.
