CAN YOU FIGURE IT OUT2

During the silly season. and for the
amusement of puzzle solvers, we sub
NIT this from the Kansas City Journal:
A banker going home to dinner saw a
$40 bill on the curbstone. He picked
it up, noted the number, and went on
home to dinner. While at home his
wife remarked that the butcher had
sent bill amounting to $40. The
only money he had was the bill he
had found, which he gave to her, aud
she paid the butcher. The butcher
paid it to farmer for calf, the farm
err to the merchant, who in turn paid
it to washwoman, aud she owing
the banker note Of $40. went to the
bank and paid the note. The banker
recognized the bill as the one he had
found aud which to that time paid $50
worth of debt. On careful examina-
ton he found the bill counterfeit.
Now. what was lost in the transaction
aud by whom?
