started the conversational ball in mo-
tion.
We'll, gentlemen" he said. Il sup
pose we will have to get down to
business"
Very WE'LL" responded Walker;
I've had a talk with my friends and
they say that if you will take the
stamps in wholesale quantities you
can have them at twenty-five cents on
the dollar of the amount they repre-
sent"
That seems quite reasonable" re-
piled the detective. Have you got
any of the stamps with you?"
YES" was the response, here is a
package of them" and suiting the ac-
ton to the word, he handed big bun
die TO the supposed merchant.
Mr.. Oldbach opened the package,
examined it very carefully, wrapped
it up again and put it IN his pocket.
Walker laughed.
q think you have forgotten some
thing" he said.
What is it?" was the reply.
you haven't paid u.s. said Walker.
ooh. indeed. that was an oversight.
Well, perhaps l ought to tell you now
that do not intend to pay you"

establishment he arose from his seat
and stood with his hand on the back
of his chair.

why, what do you mean?"
Oldbach arose now and said quietly.
Il mean that all three of you are

against the counterfeiters.
At that time Mr. Apologize was the
chief operative of the Secret Service
division and had charge of the New
England district, with headquarters in
Boston. One who knew him well has
said that he possessed good judg-
ment and tact, and that he was clear

of men, frequently said that MIR. Ap-
plegate possessed in a marked degree
the requisite qualities for detective

his persistency and his steadiness of

had been proven. and he was regard

After he had fully digested all of
the facts that were in the possession
