I Murray walked up and tapped him on
the shoulder.
"Ho do you do, Mr.. Johnson" he
said.
The gray-haired, dapper old gentle
man thus addressed, stared in polite
surprise.
You have the advantage of me,
sir" he replied. Il do not know you"

ed the officer quietly. Il am Detec-
tive Murray and you are my prisoner
on a charge of counterfeiting. have
in my pocket the bogus money you
passed at Markham"
Although in a none too sober condi.
ton the shock of this announcement
was enough to make Mr.. Johnson look
unnaturally grave.
Isn't there any way of arranging
the matter?" he queried. 1T appears to
be serious"
Wen talk it over at the JAIL" said
Murray, as he hailed a cab.
Arrived at the Jail, Murray searched
his prisoner and found more bad bills
on him. Telling the jailer to treat
the old gentleman we'll, and leaving
Johnson well provided with cigars and
other comforts, Murray turned to him
just before making his exit from the
cell.
I'll drop in to see you tomorrow,
Johnson" he said, when you'll be in a
little better shape to discuss matters.
But l may as we'll tell you that the
only arrangement you a make with
me is to deliver up the plates and
whole paraphernalia of counterfeiting.
On the following morning, June IL,
1880, Johnson made earnest PROPOSE
tons to Murray regarding a ransom to
be paid for his freedom. He implored
the detective to name any amount,
saving that he himself was wealthy
and possessed friends to whom money
was no object.
Murray smiled grimly. Neither is
money any object to me-in the form
of a bride, Johnson he said" Nothing
goes for me except those plates"
Johnson sighed. Il think you are
acting foolishly," he remarked. But

don't drink. A man does things when
he is drunk that he would eve dream
of doing when sober. If / had not
been under the influence Of liquor this
would never have happened.
The detective smiled at this bit Of
moral philosophy. He knew what the
prisoner referred to. Except when
drunk Johnson never shaved or passed
bad bills. The shavers and middle
men did not know the clever engrave-
at all. His identity vas a secret, ex
cent to the wholesale dealers.
On the following Monday Johnson
sent for Murray.

man; but it is years since l last saw

Murray, and take another good look

! wrinkled brow he pored carefully
through his glass over the different
designs, following the twist of every
line and letter. For three hours he

ton while Murray watched him.

a little liquid refreshment, and caught

able to check the exclamation OF de

For the person was none other than

Satisfied that he had found the home
of the Johnson family, but not wishing
to be seen by any of them lest he
should be recognized, Murray made ar
rangements with the occupants of ar
adjacent house to keep the johnson
residence under surveillance. For five
days after Johnnie Johnson entered
the house no one passed in or out ex
cept the butcher, baker and milkman

no positive evidence against the man
In the hope Of obtaining some proof
of wrong-doing he kept constant watch
on the house. Days and nights passed

jauntily down the street.
The detective saw and recognized
him instantly and proceeded to
shadow him. Johnson stopped in sew
eral saloons on his way down town
and Murray, entering each n as soon
as the counterfeiter had left, found
that he had paid for whatever drinks
he consumed in genuine money. Mr.,
Johnson's frequent thirst-quenchers
had a noticeable effect upon him and
finally he went to the railway station
and bought a ticket for Markham
When he boarded the train his patient
follower took up a position six seat
behind him. At Markham Johnson
left the train and the first place he
visited was a saloon. When he came
out Murray went in and induced the
proprietor to exchange the 81 bill
with which Johnson had paid for his
drink for it's equivalent in silver. Also
he had the saloonkeeper write his mi
tials on the bill for Identification pur
poses. Murray's eyes glistened as he
slipped the bank note in his pocket
for it was a newly forged Dominion
81 bill and the proof he required was
in his hands at last.
