The counterfeiter's work executed by

perts very much as a very fine painting
would come to the attention of q master
critic. There are many good painters
and not a few bad ones, but there are
not many past masters.
This twenty dollar bill is so well done
that we know of only six living men ca.
pable of producing it," the Secret Ser
vice men would continue. "Of these six
two are in Jail serving sentences, two
more are being constantly watched and
living within the law, leaving only two
reasonably open to suspicion. These are
John Jones, Of Washington, Pa, and
John Smith, of Chicago. Let US look
over some of the artistic efforts of these
two gentlemen.
"Mr. Jones, we remember, was ar
rested two years ago in connection with
a ten dollar note, but got of for lack Of
evidence Let us compare his ten dollar
note with this twenty"
Placed side by side, the comparison
shows as much difference a. the products
of two different schools of painting. John
Jones obtains his most deceptive finished
effects by patient work on the most
minute details. He rather overdoes this
phase of his work, bringing out some of
the finer touches more infinitely than in
the genuine article.
