of the following strange story, related
to him by Lennon himself:
A few days before the carrier was
engaged in delivering mail from door
to door along Vine street, Philadei-

street and back again brought him to
the narrow stairway of dingy brick
house, in front of which hung an enor-
nous brass key bearing the word
'Locksmith" Here he paused to draw
a little parcel from his bundle.
AS he did so he heard some
thing fall with a metallic clink upon
the stone pavement. He looked and
saw that it was silver dollar, which
rolled toward the gutter and came to
stop close by the curb. fastening
to pick it up, he instantly dropped it

THOSE NEEDLESS QUESTIONS AVID HOW no ANSWER THEM

The register of the Stillman House

Richard Spears, Providence, r. L.
but that gentleman, when found in his
room showing samples OF hardware to
a prospective buyer, regretted that he
could not throw any light on the par
ticular dollar his visitor held up to his
gaze, and remembered distinctly that
he had given the conductor a two-dol-

came from a section, he said. where
people took no stock in silver dollars.

when a man got off the train at Erie

An hour later he was driving along the
country road some miles south of the
town inquiring for the Wickliffe farm.
AS he finally drove up to the house
which was his destination he was con-
scious of a strange excitement This,
he realized, was probably his only re-
naming chance to trace the coin by
whose mysterious power he had been
drawn into this wild chase with the
hope of identifying its former owner.
He took a hasty note of the general
features of the place. 1t had a COM

fond OF making chemical experiments.
One day after having tried ono In
which corrosive sublImate, n deadly
poison. had figured, he sat down to
solve a difficult problem in algebra.
He had habit of biting his nails when
in deep thought aud until he began to
feel intense pain he did not realize that
owing TO the experiment the nails wero
saturated with poison so powerful
that even the smallest portion was
dangerous Instead of rodsing tina

he took down an encyclopedia, referred
to the article under poisons and fouhh
that chalk was recommended In cases
OF corrosive sublimate poisoning. There
was chalk In the coach house, but TO
reach Il he had to break down door.
After taking the chalk ne sat down
quietly and proceeded to complete the
solution of the algebraic problem.
When he appeared at the breakfast ta-

admitted how near death he had been.

declaring himself republican and for

To the young man who still
clutched the silver dollar sleep was
impossible. A multitude OF exciting
faneies crossed his brain. The de-
velopments he hoped to bring about,
the curious solution of the sroblem,
ture of one so dear to him.-all this
murdered sleep for him as effeetually
as did the crime on Lady Macbeth's
soul. 1t drove him into the smoking
car. where he sank into a seat ami
planned and conjectured between
puffs of Havana smoke until the train
reached Albany. So completely alb
sorbed had he become in the solution
of this knotty problem In which his
accident of the morning had involved
him, and so convinced was he that
the information must be for the time

TO dread what was clearly inevitable

Two days later, In speaking Of the
seizure of over forty thousand bogus
silver dollars and the clever capture
OF three of the most dangerous coun-
terfeiters that ever attacked the cur
rency of the United States, the Daily
News said:
"The most remarkable part of the
whole story is that one of the coins,
fresh from the machine of one of the
counterfeiters, fell out of a third story
window near which he was working,
was picked up while almost red hot by
a letter-carrier, and passed as genuine
through various hands until it reached
Buffalo, where, by the merest accident,
it came into the possession OF Mr.. An
sci Hobart. Of the Secret Service. That
gentleman noticed an imperfection at
one point of its rim, and succeeded in
tracing the coin to the headquarters Of
the gang on Vine street in this city
where, under the cloak of locksmith
shop and green grocery business, six
hundred of the spurious coins were
turned out daily. SO admirably were
these counterfeits executed as to defy
scrutiny save by experts of the govern
ment. The coins were not cast In
molds after the ordinary fashion, but
we're struck with a die, and plated so
thickly with silver as to Withstand
tests by acids. The defect which led to
the discovery was found only in the
one coin already spoken of, and 1t is
supposed that it was this defect that
caused the piece to spring from the
finishing machine and fall out of the
window"
