whereabouts, 1 gave UP in despair and,
for the time being, put the case in the
pigeonhole.
Fully six months afterward another
affair of an entirely different character
took me to a city in a distant state,
and one afternoon 1 dropped in at
good-sized fancy grocery to make some
inquiries about an address. While
was waiting to speak to the proprietor
1 heard an unusually fat man giving
the clerk an order for a gallon of rasp-
berry vinegar and impressing him par
ticularly to send the best quality Nat
urally, the stuff reminded me of my
missing counterfeiter, and after the fat
gentleman went out I asked the clerk
carelessly who he was. He keeps a
restaurant at No. - replied the
young man. L wonder if he is as par
ticular about his white pepper also,' I
remarked on the impulse of the mo-

Why, that's funny h. said. I sold
him some extra strong Imported white
pepper only yesterday. 1t seemed
hardly possible that it could be any
thing more than bare coincidence.

trail l strolled around to the res
taurant that evening and the first man
| laid my eyes on was the long lost
silver dollar expert. He was eating
raw oysters with vinegar and pepper,
and l was so pleased with myself that
let him get through before tapped
him on the shoulder and told him he
was under arrest. 1t tuI'red out that
he had struck town only y veak before
and had called for his f>..orite condi-
ments at this particular cafe. They
weren't on hand in the place, but the
proprietor promised to get them for
him, and the result was that the cpl
curean counterfeiter dfd seven years IN
the United States prison at Columbus,
Ohio.
But those are rare strokes of
chance added the old officer "Once
in lifetime is about their average"

fortunately when it was too late to re-

to 107, 1t was not worth that figure when
the unloading commenced.
He was landed high and dry with it
all, and the Street told him he was well
come to it. He tried to sell and found
that there was no market. Then came
violent demands on him to pay up his
numerous call loans, and in order to re-
spond he had to sell regardless of price,
and thus a whirlpool was created which
finally sent the stock down to the price

PoLITENEss WITH SAD RESULTS

At Washington the other day it was
raining hard and the street cars were

bedraggled, relates a gossiper at the
capital. Among them was General Joe
Wheeler. Next to him was a woman
wearing a macintosh, who rose to get

leaning against the car seat. He grab
bed the umbrella, ran after the woman,
caught her at the door and said: "Par-

took the umbrella. General Wheeler
resumed his seat. Then a woman on
the other side of him gave a little
scream and said: why. you nasty lit
