home with a pocket book full Of coun-
terfeit money as his only wherewith
to pay his expenses.
After everything had cooled down,
Mr.. Weisgarber. in a burst OF gener-
osity. was good enough to loan the
drover one or two hundred dollars TO
pay his a until he could reach
S%trasburgh, a little w at the 1901
of the Three Brother mountains. Inc
drover was silenced but not altogether
convinced. His money was all right
the day before, but he wasn't quite
sure it was of the right stamp wheh
he handed it over to the young maj
for safe keeping. Here was an e1eni-
MITIGATION of the little difference be-
tween the truth and a lie well stuck
TO. Time rolled On and John Hartz
career in crime became more and
more firmly fixed.
One day the sheriff came with a
warrant for the Flying Dutchman.
which meant Herman Weisgarber.
Colt en- Himmell. Vot ish dish!
he exclaimed.
A long explanation ensued and the
sheriff was greatly puzzled regarding
his duty. He was convinced nat
the accused man was innocent. and
he thought 1t might be a safe thing TO
leave him at his home and go back TO
the county seat and report before ma
king the arrest. When he reached
there he was told TO return at once
and bring his man. When he got back
to the Black Bear Inn Mr.. W~eisgarber
was out. He had saddled up and
rode away and might not return for
several days, perhaps never. But the
pood-natured sheriff didn't see IT that
way. He would come back again. or
he might present himself voluntarily
at the sherin's office.
The mother had now experienced
enough to satisfy her that h had
made a great mistake and that she
was tied to a bad man. Her life be-
came a burden to her. One day she
suddenly disappeared. After a long
search she was found dead with a
rope tightly drawn about her neck
hanging to a stout hook In the smoke
house. The scene was too much for

One day q drover came along the
pike with q long string of oxen and
stopped at the Black Bear Inn, and
engaged a pasture for his cattle over
night. The drover was new In that
part Of the country. and for safety he
handed his pocket book, containing
several hundred dollars, to John Hartz
for safe keeping, In the presence of
Weisgarber. Shortly afterwards when
the droyer was out attending to his
cattle, Weisgarber suggested the idea
to John Of changing the good money
In the pocket book for an equal
amount Of counterfeit that he had on
hand. John was easily persuaded. He
thought his step-father knew best. In
the morning the drover received his
pocket book and proceeded to count
Its contents. He at once saw that
the bills were of a different kind than
those he had been carrying. He
pulled q counterfeit detector from his
pocket and examined them. Having
satisfied himself that they we're bad,
he charged John with having substi-
tuted them. The accused mans face
turned red and he began to stammer,
but his step-father who was standing
by. came at once to the front and com
menced to talk In German to John.
Turning to the drover he protested In
badly broken English that the young
man was honest and hadn't even
opened the pocket book. Between the
two the drover got a tongue flashing
for his accusation that SO completely
upset him hat he was none too sure
that he ever had any money. He was
now in a bad tx; a long ways from

John. He now became dazed with
fear and excitement. He left the home
OF his boyhood on loot and made his
way to Philadelphia. where he CHANGED
to meet his step-father who was a
member OF a gang OF counterfeiters.
John was easily persuaded and he suf-
Tered himself to be led along step by
step until he was deep In the mire.
Our Civil war had brought a great
change in the finances OF the country.
Wild cat banks had gone out of ex-
istence and g new kind OF money was
In use. There was a great deal Of
counterfeiting going on and John
Hartz was one Of the number engaged
In It, Like the most Of the men of
his stamp he was unsuccessful In ac-
cumulating wealth.
A counterfeit beer stamp made
Its appearance In Philadelphia and |
found 1t necessary to visit that city
The night was dark and stormy and
1t was about the p~ortentous hour OF
100 a. M. when ghosts are said to
stalk abroad In CHASTITY white array,
that four detectives left their comfort
able quarters in the hotel with the ex-
p~ectation Of making an important
arrest. The IA they sought was In
visible during the day time and a diff
fcult man to encounter at night. He
had frequently been heard OF but had
seldom been seen by the government
detectives. When the officers reached
the appointed place they scattered
and took up their positions where they
would attract as little attention az
possible. Their mysterious mission
had been fully explained; a deal was
expected to be pulled OF. One of the
detectives was rotund of person. He
had. through n Of the counterfeiting
gang, been introduced as a beer deal
er who said he was willing to take his
chances with bogus stamps. and he
had bargained with n OF the coun-
%terfeiters for Ave thousand counter
felt lager beer stamps. and was to
receive them at a certain hour at a
designated place.
When the man put In an appear
ance to make the delivery he was to
be arrested. This individual, owing to
the darkness Of the night, was unable
to see the detectives stationed about,
and he walked with his carpet bag In
