of a man to discern the mistakes in

And thirsty stretches of desert bare;
His garments rusty with wind and rain,
And oft unkempt is his ragged hair.

Her smile to hearten, to see the rise
Of red in her cheek-love's wage is this

Lies close III his arm as the day grows DIM

~ OBERT !. CLIFFORD, Of
- the United States Secret
Service, is Il lucky man. His
chiefs think he is the most
brilliant young detective in the De-
partment, and perhaps they are right,
but his luck is provcrbial, too, and the
combination is rapidly making his
fame.
His first great coup was the capture
and destruction of the famous Laredo
counterfeiting plant, which was then
dooding Texas with silver dollars of
full weight and fine workmanship.
The excellence of the imitation and
the true ring of the illegal dollars
were the admiration and despair Of the
authorities, and for months the best
detectives in the service tried and
failed to get trace of the Illicit mint.
Clifford was the third man sent to
Texas on the case, and he had little
reason to hope for success where older
and more famous men had met only
disappointment. The night of his ar
rival, leaving his luggage at the sta
ton, he set out to find Il modest board
ing-hOuse, and before nine o'clock he
was installed in the back bedroom
of one-stOry adobe house in Nueva
Leon street The old nag who an
swered his rap at the street door was
q Mexican, but the interior of her
house was clean and cool, and, as she
assured him that neither women nor
children We're among her rOOmers, he
struck bargain and moved in. The
next day he began to "size up the
town, and before dark he came home
with q mental list of half dozen
places whence the queer dollars issued
plentifully, and several specimens OF
the bogus coin itself.
On the front of the house in which
he now lived Clifford saw little tin
sign lettered:
