that he Wou1u investigate wnen aay-
light came.
After breakfast next morning the
boy lighted his candle and started on
his trip. He had found the cellar door
fastened on his first exploration
through the house. What had struck
him as curious was that the fastening
was on the other side. An iron he
found In the kitchen was used as a
pry, and after ten minutes work the
door was opened.
Descending the stairs, he found below
cellar and subcellar, and down in
the latter were the wine vaults. The lad
might have looked for foul air on de-
scending the stairs, but there was
none. There was the BLACKLIST kind of
darkness in the cellar, with the heat
ing apparatus and its pipes rusted
away and fallen apart, The door to
the subcellar was also fastened on the
other side. The boy did not even stop
to wonder how the person who had
made these doors fast on the down
side could have afterward left the
house, but forced the second as he had
the first. In the subcellar were seven
large wine bins and large square
room. The air down there was purer
than on the parlor floor. A detective
would have paused to cogitate over
this, but the boy didn't He entered
the big room after housing among the
wine bins for awhile. and there he got
his explanation Of the blinking noises
he had heard the night before.
The room was the workshop of a
gang of counterfeiters. There were
bogus gold and silver coins lying about
almost by the bushel. There were
molds and dies and presses. There
were a furnace and several melting
pots. There were Jars of acids and
--fAssGIpdreds Of pounds of metal. There
were a table. chairs, lamps and dishes.
At the rear end of the room was a
small door, but this was locked with
key and could not be pFied open.
200 had seen bogus coins and heard
all about counterfeiters, and he was
soon aware of the Importance Of his;
find. When he had used up a couple
Of hours looking about, he returned
upstairs, fastening the doors behind
him as well as he could. He had no
impulse to rush off to the police, AS q
matter of fact, he remained in the
house for a whole week longer, going
out twice at night to purchase pro-
visions before he made up his mind to
go back to the tailoring business.
Then he went to the police. His story
was not credited until a detective had
accompanied him to the house Then
It was figured that the door from the
room led into the big sewer in the al
ley, and the police made a descent on
a boarding house block farther down
and captured three men who had been
counterfeiting for the past four years
and sending all their coin abroad.
They had used the big sewer as q
street to come and go and had carried
nil material that way. M. QUAD.

Dor is nearly all Of the African race

of whiskey.
The negro loves his dram. Some
of the best farm labor l have ever

negroes. 1t lured them to the towns
where they could obtain liquor, and
excessive use often brought them
to grief-either the town lookup OF
the changing.
Liquor not only destroyed or i'm
paired their usefulness but kept them
poor and shiftless. Rows at dances
in towns or country are almost in
variably caused by mean liquor.
Murders have resulted.
The love of drink, too, has lured
hundreds of efficient hands from the
farms to the cities or public works.

improvement in our farm labor in
