There came near being work for the
| secret service detectives of CHER Wilkie
at Kansas City the other day. AT one
of the department stores, says the Chi-
cago Chronicle, a woman bought some
handkerchiefs and pair of towels. Tho
clerk footed her bill, ~ cents, and the
woman laid a paper bin on the counter.
The clerk, a girl, looked at 1t hastily. II
read 81 1000 She had never seen a 81 900
bill before in her life and the amaze
ment it caused made her speechless
With her mouth open in wonder she made
out the check, showing that 40 cents was
TO be taken out of $1,000. The girl who
acts as cashier fell back in her chalt
when she saw the bin She didn't have
change for it, and, after gazing at it in
wondering admiration for a moment,
rushed out to find the manager. He ask
ed for the customer who had offered 1t
and the girl led the way to where the
woman was waiting The clerk had re-
covered from her surprise enough 70

The manager said: Madam, what ala
you buy?"

What did you give the clerk7"
Il gave her dollar bill"
mo, you gave her this, and II Is worth
less" the manager said sternly.
Perspiration stood out on the woman's
face as she looked in wonder at the bill.
She fshed dollar bill out of a hand bag
she carried and paid. BY that time she
had figured out an explanation. She has

they have mock transactions in business
and nrintp6 IN look q Onch like
money as the counterfeiting laws of the
country win permit are used. The clerks
had been so stunned by the big figures
that they did not see that it was not
money at all, but fake bill
The atmosphere of mystery which
hangs about psychological phenomena,
says the Philadelphia Ledger gives pc
culiar interest to dream stories of any
sort, and few dream stories are more in
terestng than is one the heroine of which
was Mrs. Annie Yeamans. Though many
Of Mrs. Yeamans' greatest admirers are
unaware of the fact, the coincidence be-
gan her professional career as a horse
back rider with a travelling circus in Aus
tralia. In that capacity she visited near
ly every important city of the world,
among the number being Singapore,
where the show mentioned was "stran-
ded,"
Mrs. Yeamans was then a very young
woman and Jennie Yeamans now well
known on the vaudeville stage, had not
reached the age of 10. These two were
left comfortably quartered in Singapore
while the husband and father journeyed
to Toxic in search of employment with
another circus supposed to be organizing
there. With the mother and a coolie
named vi Lung. This fellow a stalwart

but Mrs. Yeamans distrusted him pro-
foundry and could not help showing it.
The distrust may have been engendered
by instinct, though probably its cause
was the fear inspired by the knowledge
that vi knew his employer to have a con-
siderable sum OF money hid in her room.
Whatever was responsible for Mrs Yea
mans terror, it influenced her to pur-
chase a revolver and to place the weapon
under her pillow whenever she retired
She also changed her apartment taking
enc through which a person must pass
in order to enter that in which Jennie
slept with her nurse, and in which the
money was secreted.
Shortly after these preparations had
been effected the actress, who was in
clined to laugh at her own timidity,
dreamed most realistically. She thought
| that, from the bed in which she was Iy-
| ing, she saw the coolie enter and stand
| in the doorway which admitted to their
bamboo home. The moonlight at his
| back silhouetted him clearly, and, while
she watched. the great form assumed a
drawn-up posture and it's owner began
crawling silently across the floor. I'M

ed to regain his standing position. Mrs.
Yeamans, followed him, detected yellow
forefinger on the handle of the drawer
which contained the money and then she
heard cry. Jennie was awakening. The
figure at the dresser was inert a second.
Afterward 1t moved to the couch. A long
hand closed about the throat of the little
one there and all was silence Mrs. Yea
mans, witnessing this, vet unable to
move, finally freed her tongue and cried
out at the top of her lungs. The sound
woke her, frightened. and sitting up in
bed, she reached for her revolver. Then
she glanced apprehensively at the outer
door AS she did so the moon came from
behind a cloud, revealing the door open
and VI Lung standing in the way She
inquired sharply: What are you doing
here?" The coolie replied that he had
heard her call and had come to see what
was wrong. The explanation was feas-
ible one, but Mrs. Yeamans says she shall
never cease to consider her dream a
warning and to put her fadth in II rather
than in the word of the Chinaman.
