LONDON. Aug. 20.-All the reports coming from the countries south or the Balkans are to the effect that n lasting peace has now come to the nations that have been recently at war. It was feared that Bulgaria would have attempted once again to take some of the northern provinces of Turkey but the financial condition of that country will probably compel her to remain at peace to the terri- tories taken from the enemy or to their old territory and quiet is grad ually settling over it all.

to her for advice and aid. Among
them had been the Norris brothers.
Gertrude Briggs had taken them all to
her heart, had given them all the bene-
fit Of her large experience, had intro
uuced them each to a strange man who
she said, was a very skilful engraver.
She had taken their money, and then,
when her dupes became restless, she
mad showed each letter that settled
the case beyond peradventure. Hav-
ing got their money, she got rid Of
them by the simple eXpedient Of con-
cOct1ng a letter which told that some
one had tipped off the secret service.
That always settled it. The dupes re-
tired quietly, sadder and wiser and
poorer. 1t was a clever scheme, and
among those who fell into it were the
NOrrises.
But the Norrises were different. IN
stead of beating a hasty retreat in dis
order, they had collected their scattered
faculties, and, once having realized
how neatly they had been trimmed.
William the electrician. had brought
his fist down on the table before Ed
ward, the pressman, with a resOunding
oath, Now, Ed, we've been stung. We
know the game Let's so to it; let US
sting some one else"
Norris Brothers Get Busy.
Their first move had been to get
real engraver interested. Having got
the cleVerest man in that line for
miles around, their pressing need had
been to find some one to finance the
scheme. They looked about. and at
last hit on Fuerst in Detroit and Selby
in Wisconsin as promoters.
Fuerst and Selby never reaped
penny in return. however. Nothing
came back-nOt even a counterfeit bill.
When they became restless, the Nor
rises told them that everything was
all right that the final step would be
taken soon, that all was not quite
ready. They would hear something In
q short time.
A Crooks Quarrel.
In the meantime. a disagreement
broke out among the NOrrises and the
rest of those who were doing the actual
work of coUnterfeiting. They began to
quarrel over the division Of the spells,
and in their quarrel they ignored the
promoters altogether. The result had
been that the precious plate had been
taken quietly up to Bay City where
the paper, the press. the ink, and all
the other necessaries had been secret
" gathered. There they had actually
started their mint"

Great Cases Of Detective Burns---By William j. Burns
X---The Mysterious Counterfeier

IT John Peters, professional shower"
Of couutarfeits, had walked into
= the little shop Of a notion store
keeper in a small Connecticut town
two days earlier than he did some 20
years ago, the secret service might
still be looking for one Of the cleverest
and most mysterious craftsmen who
ever engraved bad money.
II happened that the notion store
was kept by a poor little pathetic fig
ure Of an old woman who was strUg-
Cling against a merciless fate TO keep
the breath Of life in a broken and over
worked body by means Of the scant
profits Of the store. When some one in
making a small purchase, gave the little
sh0pkeeper a counterfeit silver dollar,
and got good, right ringing United
States coin in change. 1t was calculated
10 say the least, to cause the poor little
old woman to do some haFd thinking
over that bad dollar and over bad
money in general
IL was Just because the little old
shoplzeeper was thinking that way that
she was the means OF star LlnS the secret
service, through me, on the crau Of
what proved 10 be the case OF the nqys-
teriOus COuuterfeiter.
II was not the slIver dollar that was
mysterious in this case alJnousn II y as
the dollar that really started II j ne
dollar was. as a mater Of fact, only
very poor Imitation Of the genuine.

It merely happened that that was the
ureparatiOu for the reception or the real
mysterious counterfeit Two days later

same little notion store, made pur-
chase that represented nearly an aver
age days business, and Jauntily tossed
down q yellow $50 bill, as beautifully
executed a work Of art as ever came
from q versatile engraver not in the
government employ
As the little notion store keeper fun
bled in her reticuIe for the change, her
fingers passed. with a tremOr, over the
counterfeit dollar she passed over the
bad dollar, but not over the thought IN
her mind. "Is this bill gOOd2 must

now. The plant had been raided. And
yet the net result was only adding an
other man who would not talk, could
not be made to talk, about the one
point that interested me The elusive
engraver Of that beautiful plate, the
real man Of mystery who alone Of all
the gang was sought as the great men
ance to the integrity of the currency,
still not only was not caught, but was
not even known.
CoIIaring the @PrOmOters.7
The only thing to do was to follow
out my policy of one quiet arrest at a
time, to locate the men whom the in
quisitive neighbOrs had seen going in
and out of the plant One Of them
proved to be a railroad man named
Leonard. He also confessed, but II
was just a repetition Of the other cases.
he was only a small part of the plot,
and either did not know or would not
tell anything that pointed toward the
engraver.
The next step was learning from the
others Of the existence Of stiu another
member Of the gang. He proved to
be a small business man in Detroit,
whose name was Fuerst. Then from
MIN was learned the existence of a
sixth member small manufacturer
named Selby, who ran a little factory
over in Wisconsin.
Gradually I was working backward
toward the truth I took a long step
Fuerst and Selby had put up most Of
the money to finance the scheme-in
short were the promoters" who had
backed the thing
A step backward toward the real
mystery was taken when two more
men who had been seen at the silent
house in Bay City were discovered.
They were two brothers, one an cleo
trician, William Norris. the other a
pressman, Edward Norris.
Now at last the trail was getting
warm For here were the men who
had really conceived the scheme in the
first place. A clever pair they were,
these men who had laid the plans and
had got the others interested. They
had received their inspiration from the
widow of a previous rather noted
counterfeiter named Briggs, Of Find
lay, Ohio, and they had received it by
the rather peculiar process of having
been themselves stung.

after her arrival that was speeding
