Our school histories give very little con-
cerning the Mound Builders; perhaps. be-
cause we know so little about those ancient
people. However, it is impossible to read
of the mounds and the fortifcations of the
Aborigines of America without speculating
as to the origin and habits of Americas
first people.
The following paper may not be histori-
cally correct but those parts which appear
to the reader to be mere speculations may
be given little thought.

telegram about the mine was soon be-

the silver and gold that were to pay for
it piled on the table. She resolved to
run no risk of delay by having the
message sent "to collect" Then she
dashed off, as quickly as she could, 4
brief and very graphic account of the
disaster which had overtaken the
Caloric. If this account was slightly
exaggerated, Miss BREWSTER had no
time to tone it down. Picturesque and

their places in the long boat. She
hurriedly counted the words in the new
dispatch she had written, and quickly
from her purse piled the gold that was
necessary to pay for their transmission
Then she sealed the two dispatches in

4 COUNTERFEITER CAUGHT.
The Police of Syracuse Make an Inn
pOrtant Capture.

On Monday the 18th Harold Marquisee, OF
Utica, \. Y, was arrested in Syracuse, n.
Y, on warrant sworn out by the DR.. VIII
lians' Medicine Co., charging him with forg-
cry. On the 18th of December Marquisee
visited photo-engraver in Syracuse, say
ing he was the representative of the DR..
Williams Medicine Co., and arranged for the
making of full set of plates for the direc-
ton sheets, labels, etc, of the famous DIR.
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. News
of this reached the home Office, and no time
was lost in arranging for his arrest when be
en- the 18th, and was accordingly arrested
and is now in jail in Syracuse awaiting ex-
animation, which occurs on March I'd.
This arrest proves to be an important
one. In addition to various plumber, such
as medical books, typewrlters, rugs, etc,
found in Marquisee's trunk when arrested,
the police also found counterfeit coin both
IN the trunk and on his person; and in q
search of his apartments in Utica found a
complete outfit for counterfeiting consist
ing of crucibles, bellows, nickel, lead,
bismuth, antimony, a small blacksmith
forge, a charcoal furnace, and several plas-
ter-of-paris molds. The United States mar
shals want him just as soon as DR.. Williams
Medicine Co are through with him, and, no
doubt, he will be sentenced for a long pc
Rod.
In selecting Dr. Williams Pink Pills for
his counterfeitIng operations, he showed his
knowledge of the proprietary medicine bust
ness: FOR these pills are in such great demand
that they are easily sold at any drug store in
the United States. His scheme was to work
the country druggists and sell his imita-
tons at discount of from per cent 10 D per
cent, explaining the reduced price by the
fact that he had picked them up in small
lots and at discount from dealers who were
overstocked. BY working fast and making
long jumps. he would have secured many
hundreds of dollars in 4 short time. The
proprietors of DR.. Williams Pink Pills are
most fortunate to have caught the rogue. be-
fore he had fairly started. and to have thus
kept these spurious goods out of the market.

Standing with her back to the doc,
was Edith Longworth. When she
had entered the stateroom Miss Brews-
ter did not know, but her heart beat
wildly as she saw the girl standing
silently there. as if she had risen up
through the floor.
What are you doing here?" she de-
manded.

Edith calmly, putting her hand over the

For a moment the two girls stood
there, the one flushed and excited. the
other apparently calm. with her back
against the door and her hand over the
electric button. A glance through the
window showed Miss Brewster that the
mate had got into the boat, and that
they were steadily lowering away.
Let me pass, you-you wretch"
'.All in good time" replied Edith
Longworth, whose gaze was also upon
the boat swinging in midair. Jenny
brewster saw at once that if it came
to a hand-to-hand encounter she would
have no chance whatever against the
English girl. who was in every way her
physical superior. She had her en-
velope in one hand and the gold in the
other. She thrust both of them into
her pocket, which, after some fumbling,
she found. Then she raised her voice
