ooh, HI" replied Quincy. We've
got everything our own way now. The
government detectives are all green
men and there's no danger of getting
caught unless a fellow goes and gives
himself up" Taking from his wal
let a $40 counterfeit note on the Ma
tional Shoe and Leather bank of New
York city, he added: Here's some
thing good enough to deceive the dis
ciples."
After some parleying Bower ac-
copied $500 of the queer for the dia-
mond, and I now instructed Bower to
stay away from Quincy for a couple
of weeks.
While Bower had been working

to my office every few days to work

what he said, and that he was regard

that l had no desire to make arrests
unless forced to do So, and that I did

a tame affair IN comparison with the
indulgence of these men. If there
were any letters of warning upon the
walls, all were too drunk to read them,
or they lacked a sober Daniel to in
terpret them.
Under the circumstances it seemed
advisable to allow these merry plot
tiers to pursue their way unmolested
until sufficiently off their guard to per-
NIT the successful carrying out of a
plan to entrap and %apprehend the en-
tire party.
Much of my time was now spent at
my New York Office in Blocker street
where, in due time, Quincy called
upon me for the purpose "of paying
bis respects and rendering some in
formation in regard to counterfeiters."
The artless appearing fellow said that
when quite young he had been foolish
enough to engage in counterfeiting,
but had long since abandoned it and
was now ready to render the govern

On Authority of Teacher.

A quick-witted boy, asking food at
a farmhouse too recently ravaged by
other hungry fishing truants, was told
that he was big enough to wait until
he got home.
"Of course, if you have children
with you hesitated the kindly wom-
an of the house, and was Immediately
informed that there were six children
in the party.
mo, 1 don't tell a fib, neither" was
the indignant protest later drawn
forth by the condemnation of one who
had shared the good bread and butter
thus secured. "Fib nothin'. We're
children six times over. We're chill
dren of our father and mother, chill
dren of God, children of our country,
children of the church an children of
grace. Teacher said so last Thursday,
and I guess she ought to know"

for months, and secured evidence to
convict about twenty of the Quincy
party.
While Butts had been busy with the
gang of showers, Bower had been de-
voting his time to Quincy and the
other leaders. On one occasion Bower
purchased $500 of counterfeit money
from Quincy, and this he handed to
me as l was on my way to dinner at
the st. Clair house. AS I entered the
restaurant I met Quincy looking as
cheerful and innocent as a Raphael
cherub. The rascal appeared with a
bland smile and informed me that he
had come there especially to see me
about counterfeiting TRANSACTIONS out
west. I took him by the hand, thanked
him, and invited him to dine.
We selected a table where Quincy
could talk without being overheard.
His information, as usual, was in
definite, hearsay, with no particular
point to it. He told me that my pol
icy Of being easy with the counter
feiters al working like a charm
that there was no counterfeit money
in circulation in the east-in fact, he
had not seen a bad dollar in six
months. At that very moment nv
hand was resting on the package of
counterfeit money that had just been
purchased from him by Bower.
A few days later Quincy told
Bower, in a boasting. way, of this in
terview and, in a burst Of enthusiasm,
declared that everything about the
government detective headquarters
was known to him before it trans
pired. He asserted that he was one
of my assistants, and was so pulled
up over his imaginary success that he
really believed he knew what was 60

The time now seemed ripe for the
