still be moaning the quietude of the
county, but finding material for end
less speculation in Mr.. Faiths eXper-
ience, and they wondred what had
become of the Faiths, for the old man
sold out and moved away soon after
the affair.
But a month later an unsigned
letter came to Heath from New York
city. The writing was evidently
disguised and there was nothing on it
tnat could possibly lead to the identity
of the writer. 1t ran:
"My Dear Sir-Some things are too
good to keep. We got busted in
Florida, having run up against it too
h ard down there, and we started on a
hnncoing expedition toward New
York, living off the country, like
soldiers, as we travelled and we had
mighty good luck until we reached
your heathenish land.
"There we found William Faith
the saints protect that name!-and he
seemed about the easiest thing we had
ever run across. We did him up In
our best manner, and that yellow.
haired angel beamed upon US like q
heavenly vision. But O, what a
difference in the morning! That old
sinner can give US ell cards and then
beat the band. He showed those
counterfeits on US and he had us. 1t
took all we had gathered from the
whole trip to make up the thousand,
and even then if that cashier had
known beans from watermelons we
would have been your guests on the
charge of counterteiting.
"But the slickest trick all was the
way be fiimtlammed the thousand we
handed over and then handed into
the bank the thousand he had drawn
the day before. o, he is a jewel!''
But of course this was not evidence,
and even if it were, nobody to this
day knows where the alleged William
Faith and the tlaxen-haired daughter
have gone.
