WERE NOT TO BE CONVINCED
Violin Makers Work So Good the
Critics Would Not Accept 1t
as His Own.

While it is no easy matter for 9
violin maker to rival the famous
Stradivarius instruments, an Ameri-
can maker once did this, and did 1t
in so effectuai manner that experts
pronounced his violin genuine
Stradivarius. The successful man
was George Gemunder, who died some
ten years ago. His remarkable abil-
ity as a maker of violins was known
to many a distinguished player, such
as Ole Bull, Remenyi and Wilhelmj,
but he achcieved-so runs the story
his greatest success at the last Paris
exposition. To that exhibition he sent
an imitation Stradivarius, and, to test
its merits, had 1t placed on exhibition
as the genuine article.
A committee Of experts carefully ex-
amined the instrument and pronounced
1t Stradivarius. So far Gemunder's
triumph was complete, but now came
a difficulty. When he claimed that it
was not an old violin but a new one
made by himself, the committee
would not believe him. They declared
that he had never made the instru-
ment and pronounced him an. impos-
tor He had done his work too well.

/ must think rapidly, and act as
quickly. Yet, If what Grant had said
was true, that he had already posted
guards on each side the house, then
escape by daylight was practically inn
possible. From all l could see there
was no concealment close at hand,
and while the fellows were without
arms, yet their numbers were sufficient
to make any attempt at running their
Zines extra hazardous. And had much
at risk, for if taken it would be as a
spy, and not mere prisoner Of war.
There was no place for concealment in
the library, but there might be up
stairs, In the attic, or on the roof.
The chance was worth the trial, and
there could be no better time for such
an experiment than while the three off,
GERS were at breakfast. Whatever
servants remained about the. house
would be busily employed also, and
probably should have the entire up

make the venture had my hand on

"0h, you have overheard? You

library, but there was nothing said
between you two to make me suspect
your identity"
"You supposed me to be the beuten-

the same; at least sufficiently similar
to deceive me, and he never addressed
you in way to arouse my suspicious.
Is your brother named Eric?"

"He will carry it out" quietly, her
eyes, no longer smiling, on my face.
There has never been friendship be-

relations with Captain Grant have be-

exercise some authority over me. He

"Then your brother is not here?"
Certainly not; Eric is in no danger
but, Major Lawrence, you are"

ROBBED ST. JoHNsBURY GIRL.
Miss Edwina Blodgett Lost Diamond
Ring This Week.

| St Johnsbury, Oct. l9.-The authori-
ties are looking for the man who broke
into the house of Mr.. and Mrs. Harry
Blodgett Tuesday morning, overcame
Miss Edwina Blodgett and robbed her of
diamond ring.
Miss Blodgett's story of the affair is
that she heard some one in the room
about one O'Clock in the morning and
thinking it was her mother said, rs that
YOU mamma?" A large man flashed an
electric light on her and then grabbed
her and dragged her from the bed strik-
ing her a blow with a sofa pillow.
Whether she was rendered unconscious
by the blow or tainted she cannot tell
but when she recovered consciousness the
burglar had escaped and her diamond
ring was gone. Other valuable jewelry
on the dresser was not disturbed.
Miss Blodgett thinks the man must
have entered her room through a win
dow opening on the veranda and pulled
a spring lock and went out through the
hall. She was unable TO give any fur
tber description of the man other than
he was large. States Attorney Simonds.

specimens of Confederate bills to be

Gentlemen:
Believing that your post will be in

issued by the Confederate states of
America for exhibition purposes in tho
post headquarters, | take pleasure in
sending you an assortment of the same.
"These notes came into the possession

the war department to the treasury of
the United States in the year lS67.
"The treasury department has no.
complete series of the notes, and in
presenting such specimens as are now
in its custody the department feels as
sured that proper disposition will be
made for their safe-keeping so as to
render them of permanent value to your
Grand Army post as historical relics.
Very truly your,
