Of the country and could easily pass
myself on as a resident of that sec
ton. Mr. Boutwell, wrote me an or
der on Treasurer Spinner for the sum
of five thousand dollars. This was
done in the presence of the two de-
tectives. It was understood that the
counterfeiters would not make a deal
OF less than ten thousand dollars OF
their money. For this they were to
be paid flve thousand dollars in good
money. While the detectives insisted
that the counterfeit would pass just
as readily as the genuine, they could
not explain why it was being offered
at fifty cents on the dollar. The two
detectives returned to Philadelphia
and ! agreed to meet them there on
the following day.
That afternoon / chanced to step
into the Office of Mr. william A. Rich
ardson, at that time assistant secre-
tary of the treasury. He was lawyer

mept by the sudden turn of affairs. At
first he turned slightly pale. but finally
smiled and said: Look here, the gov
ernment can't hurt me. l was only
trying to Doodle you. Put up your re-
volver and I will go with you peace

He went with me to my room In the
hotel where had first learned the par
ticulars of the origin of the Doodle
game. which was successfully played
for years afterwards under different
names. 1t finally grew into what was
known as the green goods game. The

able to walk along upon the outer
verge of the precipice of crime with

originator of the Doodle game. The
precious package with which he ex-
pected to get five thousand dollars in
good money from me was nothing
more than strips of white paper cut to
resemble bank notes in size. There
was a good five dollar greenback SO

of Mr.. Rolls being in Cedar. AS
they were acquainted with each

but the logical sequence of
correspondence that their friend
ship should ripen into love and
marriage follow.
