Counterfeiters and Detectives.
The secret service has discovered a
new and dangerous counterfeit of the
81 Indian head silver certificates. They
are photolithographs on pasted sheets
of linen paper. with silk threads be-
tween the sheets. The type used in

should be 4: If two. b; and if three
c. There are two prominent black
