BENIN smiled suavely at the police

Trade Dollars Coined in italy.

A silver dollar is now being coined
by the Italian government especially
for it's trade in the African colony Of
Eritrea and it is likely that this new
dollar will become the medium of
trade all around the Red sea. For
100 years the most widely used coin in
the Red sea district has been the Aus
train Marie Theresa dollar, of which

is estimated that Mt least one-thirl OF
these have been melted down in the
last seven years. The new Italian
dollar greatly resembles the Marie
Theresa dollar. because the Arabs are
so conservative that any radical
change would have prevented its in.

"Drop That Hand" Ordered Clinton.

the lady opened the door Of the room
in which Ellen had left the maniac.
No sound came from within. Her pal
lor increased. Shuddering with dread
Of what might be within. she rushed
into the room. Ellen followed, still
more fearful Of what they might find.
Clinton was reposing in the depths
Of big "sleepy-holow" chair, as
peaceful and still us if asleep. Amy,
perclled on the arm of the chair. was
stroking his forehead and closed eyes.
She looked about at the intruders
and touched her lips for silence. But
her patient had opened his eyes. At
sight Of the frightened ladies'. he cap
tured Amy's hand and sat up in the
chair. his face red with embarrass-
ment.
"Oh keep your seat! Do not dis.

Kirkland.
Amy freed an arm and slipped It
about his neck. "You are calm now.
Aren't you. dear?" she soothed.
"Yes-yes, Of course" mumbled Clin.

But instead Of Oheyins he flung him.

roar Of laughter. The outburst was
far more violent than the first. 1t
did not end until he lay helpless from
