Tpresented myself at tho bank, and
sending my card to the manager was
ushered at once into his parlor. After .
few remarks upon the money and stock
market produced the bill, remarking
that l had acuriosity to show him which
had been sent me by correspondent IN
Paris. 1t was certainly curiosity. 1t
was n thing entirely unknown in the
history Of the bank TO have bill Of ex-
change bearing the signature nf cabi-
net minister certifying that tho Internal
revenue tax had been pnid ON 1t. This,
along with the circumstance that the
bill was made payable to myself, evil
IDENTIFY made considerable impression on
the manager aud confirmed him in his
good opinion Of his customer, The un-
usual features Of this bill of exchange led
him to relate some Of the inner events
Of the banks history. during which I
asked him what precaution the bank
took against forgery He told me a for
gerry On the bank was impossible.
But I asked "Why impossible? 9th
err banks get hit sometimes and why
not the Bank Of Englnnd?' 10 that
question he gave long reply, ending
with the assertion that "Our wise fore
fathers have bequeathed us system
which is perfect. " "Do you wish me to
understand you have not changed your
system since your forefathers' timey"
said. Towhich he emphatically replied,
mot in tho slightest particular for a
hundred years, In conclusion l told
him should bo fully occupied looking
after my different business interests, but
would give him a call if found time.
I also said l would have the bill dis
counted and take tho cash away with
me instead Of having it placed to my
credit. He called an attendant, gave the
necessary order, and the cash was hand
ed me- Bidding the manager goodby, l
repaired to our meeting place aud show
ed the notes for the discounted bill.
Even George was satisfied that my credit
at the bank was good for any amount Of
discounts ON any sort of paper.
Everything now was ready for my de-
parturo from England. For some weeks
my partners had been busy preparing for
the completion Of the operation.
The first lot of bogus bills were ready
to go into the mail at Birmingham as
soon as was out Of the way, it having
been decided that l should then be out
Of the country. So one Monday late in
November packed my baggage, and
after many warm handshaldngs | bnde

of our town house, fine suppers and our
boxes at tho opera. After that | saw
them for brief hour on tho coast of
France aud once more said adieu When
we met again, it was in Newgate. l
need hardly say that for the next 20
years we had no boxes ut the grand
opera, no four-in-hNnds, nor yet amy fine
suppers. but all that which was merely
external passed away, consumed in that
fierce flame, but all that was manly and
true remained--thati is, our devotion and
courage and our high resolve to conquer
fate and live for better things
