There is acounterfeit S. with picture
of Garfield in circulation. It is what
those who detect counterfeits know as
a photographed bill," and is all the
more dangerous on this account, as it
is sure to be accurate. The principal
defect in the bill is in the grayness of
the ink with which it is printed, while
the genuine is black as jet. This is a
bill that a be readily passed upon
an unsuspecting public.
The law regarding the passing Of
counterfeit money is not understood
by everybody. If you pay for goods
in a store with a bill, and you have
your bill brought back to you as mot
a good bill," your telling is one of in
d~ignation, and your next thought is
that you will try it somewhere else.
You took it as good, and you will use
it as though it were good.
Now, the law does not allow this.
You are liable to arrest for Offering a
counterfeit bill, and if the shopkeeper
chose TO prosecute you for trying to
pass one off on him, he could do so,
in spite Of your plea hat you did not
know it was bad. Ignorance of the
law is no excuse, and you are held
guilty until proven innocent.
Justice, however, takes prompt note
of the cases of the really innocent, and
you can always clear yourself, provided
you do not try the same bill twice. If
you find you have e doubtful bill your
fret act is to go to q bank to make in
q.4ries regarding it. If it is a coun-
terfeit you lose the money.
In the recent raids in New York, St.
Louis, Pennsylvania and Long Island
a most startling discovery vas made,
and that was that the bills were being

work one day, and the next day because OF
some little indiscretion In eating, he may be
able to do nothing at all. Most cases OF
dyspepsia start with constipation. Consti.
patton Is the cause of nine tenths of all hum
sickness. Some of its symptoms are sick
and bilious headache, dizziness, sour stom
ach, loss of appetite, foul breath, windy
belchings, heartburn, pam aud distress after

He wrote a letter that night, and

entirely beyond explanation. The heart
of man is not to be played with. But
I hope you will marry Henry Arm
strong and be happy. 1t doesn't matter
what becomes of me. Your neglected

Alice read it and laughed and cried
in turns over the words.
Two hours after its receipt Ned fol-
lowed it in person, with a highly in
jured air.
And she, because she was very soft
little person, ran to meet him with a
glad face.

want to marry Henry Armstrong, at all.
But you said we could only be friends,
and mutual critics, and-Ned, girl

ideas and he cried with a tremulous
voice: ''If you'll just stick to me, Alice,
I'll love you we'll enough"

But each had strong foundation OF

Both Alice Hartwell and Ned Nor

In life and with each other they were
in no wise reticent as to what they
should demand of the world.
They had been friends from youth
and when the girls return renewed
that friendship In all its intensity the
gossips had much to say of long set
tied matrimonial understanding.
But the young people laughed the
idea to scorn.
1t was the subject of conversation
one August afternoon as they sat to-
gether in the cooling shade of the vines
of the Hartwell porch.
"The very idea," laughed Ned; "these
old people here haven't any idea be-
yond marrying and dying; can't they
understand that there are some other
contingencies of existence beside
these?"
"Of course not" answered Alice, also
laughing, "and they would deem it rank
heresy to hear you say so. You must
remember that Blanktowu has its code

as the laws of the Modes and Persians."

can only conceive of such friendly rela-

sex shall not be considered, where one

can't be any mistake there; they have
