Gated Brockway's companion in room sc
on tine 9Th of October. 1888. Officer
Reilly found letter in the writing-room
where the man Reilly was watching had teen
writing, and this gave Il clue to his identity.
He proved to be Lewis Il. Martin, who was
known as q verytkilfal printer and enGraver.
and one OF the abiest clectrotypers ever
known.

rest of the gang as soon rs the search war

The raid was made.
Foster and Martin were caught in the midst
of their counterfeidng paraphernalia and
taken to the central Office The apparatus
seized consisted OF plates. dies, stamps, and
everything necessary for forging Morris and
Essex 81, 900 7per cent. construction bonds
payable in 1901. and Central Pacific railroad
81 600 per cent. gold bearing bonds, includ-
ing the London stamp of the last named. A
large number of bonds were also found, and
also set-up type used to print the certificates
on the back of Central Pacific bonds signed
by Coils p Huntington.
In room Sc ut the Sc. James Hotel. which
Martin had been occupying for nearly n year,
we found twenty-one counterfeit Morris and
Essex $1,000 Z per cent. bonds. All they
needed were the signatures of the president
and treasurer to be put on the market. We
also found quantity of tracing paper, with
which attempts had been made to trace the
signatures OF Sam Sloan and Treasurer Chas

Martin furnished the capital.
He carried on the scheme with his money,
but Brockway did most of the work. They
would have foated the $1,000 bonds in this
city and in Europe Experts testified that
they could not tell the genuine bonds from
the counterfeits.
Brockway got five years.
Martin got ten.
Foster spent twenty-five months in the
Tombs. He left the state and is now on a

of Mrs. John Doe. and she buys new service
to show her friends. The old service is sent

sells it for its weight in gold or silver. and Is
satisfied. Cochran could take gold punch

its weight in gold, say $50. This punch bowl

state and realize go, 500, or maybe $500 on
a single piece.
He dealt in n similar manner in gold and
silver jewelry and other articles which he
took from the old metal offered the govern

CHAPTER II

CHAPTER II.
OF all classes of criminals the counterfeiter
J shows the most eunning-a cunning that is
peculiarly his own. The bank burglar, the
pickpocket. the sandbagger, all belong to a
different circle in crime and do not associate
with each other. but the counterfeiter is in his
sown estimation far above all other classes of
criminals. The cunning OF the majority of
criminals is not. it is true, equal TO that of the
counterfeiter, whose flxity and tenaeity of
purpose makes possible the accomplishment
of his great robberies. He prides himself on
his accurate knowledge OF chemistry, his
ness and patience, enabling him to work and
wait for months, yes years, before reaping his
harvest of wealth.
The most remarkable counterfeiter that
ever vlctimized a nation. man l caused to be
placed behind the bars. was William Z. Brock

He was the king of forgers.

/ Pniar work, and he really believed in his heart
that II he could turn out bill equal to the

ter security in workmanship than the govern
meDt made.
He came near doing it. too.
This mans life shows how ones moral
perceptions can become so perverted that he
will not himself believe that he is doing n
wrong. although committing n great crime
against the whole community. He would
not dream OF robbing a man OF his watch or
his purse. but he had no hesitancy in steal
ing millions by counterfeiting government
securities.
Brockway sincerely failed to see he was
felon. He believed his arrest and conviction
was the persecution OF an innocent and virtu-
Gus man under the forms of the law.
Strange man was Brockway.
CHAPTER Ill.
Cochran the gold thief
We often read about and meet men who
lead double lives. but Henry s. Cochran, who
recently stole more than Sl3i000 from the
Philadelphia mint, where he had been
weigher for number of years, was the most
remarkable case of DR.. Jekyll and Mr.. HYDE
l ever came across.
l went 10 Philadelphia in September last
and succeeded in securing full confession
from Cochran. Before obtaining this confess
sion learned all about one of the queerest
types of humanity imaginable. I followed
his history from year to year. and found him
to be one OF the queerest of mixtures of good
and bad. the good prevailing one day and the
bad the next.
He was an old scoundrel.
He had been Il robber for years.
He was a low. cowardy brute to his family,
beating and bulldozing his wife, who was
obliged to secure divorce from him because
of inhuman treatment.
And then again he was philanthropist in
way.
He had smile, a warm grasp of the hand
for all and a cordial How are you this morn
ing?" for everybody he met. He had kind
word and assistance for anybody in distress,
but one of the most curious phases of this
mans nature developed early in my investiga-
tion.
Pretty young women profted by it.
Cochran was an angel in disguise-a verita-

THE OBDURATE GERMAN.

The maiden saw his manly form
And felt her tender heart grow warm.
She met his look of glad surprise
BY letting fall her radiant eyes:
But seeing he still strobe away
She whispered softly, stay, oh, stay
The Dutchman shouted, Mix fer stay
Thou canst not love- the maiden cried,
Then let me rouse ambition-pride;
For this is Freedoms wide domain,
Here room to conquer power and gain:
Here poverty no longer bows
To tyrant wealth. Oh come, arouse"
The Dutchman said, mix cum arouse"
And so this youth from fatherland
Strobe on impassive, silent, grand,
To meet his fate without tear.
For soon, alas! he found his bier.

The creaking OF a boot has nothing
whatsoever to do with the class OF
leather out Of which it is constructed.
1t creaks for the following reasons
Every sole Of boot is composed of
two separate pieces Of leather In
walking, these two ieces OF leather,
in spite Of their being sewed firmly
together oft-n rub against each
other and hence the noise.
But boOt does not always creak
at the sole. IL may come from the
heel, and then it is caused by what
is known as the ''stifener," or the
material which is put in to make the
leather which covers the heel stiff,
becoming loose and moving about
The cure for the creaking sole is as
follows: The second sole must be
taken of, and some soft material,
like felt, placed between the two
soles, aud thencelorth the boots will
be nOiselcss.
If it Is the heel that is at fault,
the 'stitTener" must be securely
sewed in, and some French chalk
may be put in between it and the
leather, thereby lessening the fric-
ton BY which the noise is caused.
Sometimes standing the soles of a
lair OF creaking boots in oil for
twenty-fonr hours will have the de-
sired effect, but this remedy is not
always successful.

GROWING RAprsHEs.

1t is almost impossible to grow
raiishes in heavy clay soil. They
lie a warm light sand, or loan, the
former being best. Select some con-
venient spot for your work. Cover it
three or four inches thick with sand
and work it thoroughly into the soil.
If this does not give you good radishes,
give it more sand another season. A
little wood ashes, in addition to your
stable manure, or some good CONNER
cial fertilizer, will improve their quail
ity. The turnip type is easier grown
than the long ones, being less attacked
by worms. American Agriculturist.

FOOD AND FODDER.

We commonly use the words food
and fodder as interchangeable terms,
but there IS really q vast difference
between the terms. We might term
as fodder all that an animal eats.
whether it be meal, corn stalks, hay.
straw or ensilage, aud no matter how
small part of it is digestible AMI as
similable; but food proper should be
limited to that part of the fodder that
is digestible and easily assimilated.
We will understand by this that about
half or quarters of the articles
that the animals eat consist of fodder.
and have little to do with real food.
We sometimes make the mistake of
increasing the amount of fodder, but
not the food, and then wonder why
the animals do not show better results
1t is only by discriminating between
the real food value of articles that we
can arrive at any satisfactory system
of feeding.
If we simply wish to feed the ami
mails to increase the size of the manure
heap, it is cheaper to feed them fod-
ner and no food. If we wish to feed
the COWS for milk and cream. the
swine for good pork, the sheep for
salable mutton and wool, and the
steers for good, heavy weight beef, we
must pay more attention to food and
less to fodder. But little fodder in
the stomach is essential to good health.
If we should ever reach that stage
where the food could be so prepared
for either man or beast that all would
be digested, and no coase fodder intro
duced into the stomach, the results
would be anything but satisfactory.
The stomach requires coarse material
mixed with the fine to digest it, and
the proper ration is one where the
food and the fodder are properly bal
aneed. This is the great and only
purpose that fodder is fed to cattle
for. 1t is not to fatten or to strength
en-, nor to furnish milk, but simply to
dilute the rich food in the stomach so
that the juices can properly digest it.
