girl, it is entirely different. Their ro-
nance is written all in loves most senti-
mental characters. A sweet voice float
ing over the wire, pretty face seen
afterwards, lonely old Widower with
susceptible heart, courtship in which
flowers, and jewelry. carriage and auto

readable of the two.
Her Sweet Voice.
1t CHANGED that e. r. Whitney, cap
italist of Montreal, came to New York
last year for a long stay. He took rooms
at the Astor house. One day he called
up business friend at the Grand Union
hotel. There was difficulty in getting his
party on the wire But it wasn't Cen
trails" fault
Instead of initiating the rather hasty
tones of Mr.. Whitney, as does the aver
age Central, or giving him BUSY" this
operator on the other end of the line real
ly tried to get the call for Mr.. Whitney.
So sweet was her voice and so charming
her manner that the impatient business
man at the other end was much i'm
pressed.
He got his party, an appointment was
made and next day found Mr. Whitney
at the hotel to transact his business. The
interview over, again he sought the tele-
phone. At the switchboard sat charm
ing young girl. Mr.. Whitney gave her
the number he wished, and when he
heard her ask "81OO Cortlandt" over the
wire, great light came over him.
Her Pretty Face.
At once he recognized the voice-it
was the voice of the day before, when he
had been so courteously treated over the
wire. If the voice had pleased him, the
sweet-faced girl who gave him his call
delighted him. Mr. Whitney is 70 years
old, but he hasn't forgotten the gallantry
of youth. In the twinkling of an eye he
had recalled the incident of the day be-
fore. and the blushing girl owned up that
it was her voice that he had heard over
the wire.
Now, Mr.. Whitney is man OF decis-
ion. He admired the pretty telephone
girl and he decided that it would be
saving of time if he could be nearer
her when he wanted to use the phone.
1t isn't necessary to recount right here
that perhaps there were other infiu-
ences that caused his decision.
At any rate, on the very next day
there appeared on the register OF the
Grand Union the name "E. R. Whit
ney, Montreal" He took an expensive
suite and the Aston House knew him
no more.
Devotion Itself.
Every day found Mr.. Whitney at the
Central" Office of the Grand Union ho-
tel. Nobody could satisfy his wants as
could Miss Bennett. They chatted
pleasantly enough while he was wait
ing for his calls and finally the day

A Remarkable Fact

about ''Pusheck's Kuro" is that it does
what no other medicine can do. 1t affects
the grand trio-the Stomach, the Blood
and the Nerves-that controls and regu-
every function. 1t corrects the digestion
and assimilation of food that keeps up the
body, it purifes and enriches the Blood
and corrects, regulates and strengthens
the nerves. This explains why one medi.
cine permanently cures so many appar-
emily different diseases. Other remedies
work on one of the organs only and can
not cure completely; Pusheck's Kuro re-
generates the entire system. Good health
will assist to happiness and wealth more
than anything else. Pusheck's Kuro will
help you enjoy health, happiness and long
life This remedy is 81 at Druggists or

Early Struggles.

and her successful overcoming of OBJ

What the Lovers Say.
Of Cupid's work, Mr.. Stokes says:
''We are not two; we are one in spirit"
And Miss Pastor echoes a like sentiment
when she says: Life is a riddle, of
which love is the answer. Our souls met
and we knew that we belonged to each
other"
The gray-haired lover steps forward
with the spring of youth and says: "See
here, I'm not an old man. I've never had
a days illness in my life, and the insur-
ance companies have accepted me for all
the insurance that l can carry. re-
gard myself as the most fortunate of men
Il wouldn't change places with any

And the blushing maiden demurely
adds: "Our wedding will be a very
quiet one, and after that we are going to
Europe" And whole fairyland of a
new and big world opens up before the
vision of the girl whose horizon has been
limited to one land, and to the noisy
whirl and hustle of a big city.

DETECTIVES CAPTURE
COUNTERFEITER GANG
Secret Service Agent John F. CrOnin, Aided by
officers Steele and Boyd, Show Great
Cleverness and Bravery

Through the combined efforts OF
Secret Service Agent John r. Cronin,
Chief of Police Auble and Captain of
Detectives Flammer, a counterfeiters'
den was raided early yesterday morn
ing and the seven occupants, all of
whom were smoking opium at the time,
were arrested.
The den IN which evidences Of the
manufacture of spurious coins and i'm
plements for the raising of checks were
found, Is located in shack In the
rear Of 1O46 East Thirty-ninth street.
The men arrested and charged with
counterfeiting coins and altering United
States bills are; Frank Weller, Joseph
Castro, Thomas Weller, d. ". Latham,
Bert A. Preder, William II. Carroll and
Henry r. Pearson.
For several weeks United States Sc
cret service men and local detectives
have had these men under surveillance
and their final capture early yesterday
morning was accompanied by an unus-
ual display of bravery on the part of
Detectives Steele and Boyd and Secret
Service Agent Cronin.
cronln confIscates Material
The capture of the seven men was
made in two arrests, the first occurring
at ! o'clock yesterday morning and the
second at o'clock yesterday aftern )on.
On the occasion of the second visit
to the den by the detectives and Agent
Cronin all of the materials used in the
manufacture of counterfeit coins and
the raising of United States bills was
confiscated. 1t includes complete outfits
of cruclbles, metals, plaster of paris
casts, bars of silver, seven sets of
stencils, used in altering bills and a
complete collection of colored inks.
These men, of whom Frank Weller
and Joseph Castro are said to be the
leaders and who are at present wanted
in San Francisco on a similar charge,
have been operating all along the coast
for the past ten months, according to
the police, and the United States secret
service agents throughout the western
coast of the United States have been
waiting for the opportunity to trap
them. The work of the alleged counter
feiters is of the most skilled character
and requires the eye of ar expert to
recognize the raised bills from genuine
ones. Every detail has been carefully
fixed" by the counterfeiters.
Officers Show Great Bravery
When the detectives made the capture
of the men yesterday morning Secret
Service Agent Cronin and Detective
Steele stationed themselves near the
front entrance TO the shack in the rear
of 1916 East Thirty ninth street and
Detective Boyd took a position near Il
rear window. At n given signal Cronin
and Steele broke in the door.
No sooner had this been done than
Frank Weller made a daring leap
through the rear window. This was
done so quickly that before Detective
Boyd had seized him, Weller was half
way over the rear fence. In another
instant Boyd had his man handcuffed
and dragged into the shack.
On breaking down the door the men
inside were discovered smoking opium.

him to open the safe and deliver up the

that he was not connected with the

went there to pay a visit to David

the time when there was a flood of

Henry T. Pearson, who was among
those captured yesterday, recently

ing in the Santa Clara house on North

There are many other counterfeiters
