weeks before his arrest there were

After a Long Chase.
Wilken was caught after years of
search, during which it is declared he
circulated counterfeit bills of the face
value of over 100000. And If he
hadn't stayed at the little town of
Santa Cruz, where persons who spend
one type of bill are easily found, he
might not have been arrested. In
larger cities the bills always had been
discovered days or weeks after they
had been dumped on the town.
1t is believed by many that Wilken
has the secret of making the "distinc-
tive" paper used by the government
for its notes. Some. of his bills are

The Country Dance.
In the evening all join in the old-time country
dance. The very name suggests quadriIles, Ian
GERS, twO-steps waltzes and even, perhaps, the
schottish. These delightful recreations, still OBJ
served come from the mother country" and have
fourished in east Virginia for three centuries.
Nothing is more joyous than Christmas dance

season is inherited, where the servants are ne

are on hand to wait on the ''wite foxes"

Nine o'clock chimes from the timepiece on the
parlor mantel. The lively bevy of maldens are
trooping down the broad stairs. What visions of

they charge the very atmosphere with coquetry.
Young gentlemen offer hurried requests for the
dance. Then the real revelry begins with the
