A sanknots Tragedy.

a banknote in England was crime
punishable by death the histories of
many notes were tragic in the ex-
IRENE. The circumstances of one
memorable case are peculiarly sad. A
young man called Rowland was ac-

from the writing table In his study. Al
though 1t was not proved that the note
had ever been In his possession or that
1t had been cashed, the circumstances
were considered suspicious enough to

who was popular and of irreproacha-
BILE character, was sentenced to death.

note for which his life was sacrificed
was found In recess in the library
chimney, where it Is supposed draft
had carried it.-LondOn Tit-Bits. I
