He bowed. There was nothing else
to do, nothing that he could say under
the circumstances. To use his chivalry
as a wedge to open an acquaintance
never occurred to him-but his whisk-
ers did occur to him. Hastily he backed
into his staterOom and closed the
door, presently he rose and surveyed
himself critically In the small mirror
over the waShstand.

damnable. In a careless moment, Fate
had accorded him a glimpse Of the

|Barters Real

Woman Tries to Make
Some Easy Money, But
Loses Her Savings.

Buying a fake $1,000 bill for 5000

Seventh and II streets northwest
yesterday by two colored men, who
produced what looked like a per-
fectly dazzling $1,000 bill.

they said. I'VE can't use this bill
and must have it changed. Can you
do it?"

replied the unsuspecting woman.
"All right, you give US that 5000
and well give you this bill. We need
the money right away. and you can
keep the extra $500 for your
trouble"
So Elizabeth drew her 5000 from
the bank and met the men at New
Jersey avenue and r street north
west at 1890. What followed is too
painful to relate. Suffice il to say
that when Elizabeth arrived at No. 8
precinct station she was in a far
from happy frame OF mind.

The reason for the reduction of the
force and the cutting off OF one shift.
is due to the fact that the bureau
has caught up in it's work OF print
ing the Liberty bonds.
James l.. Wilmeth, director of the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing.
Is not filling the places OF employees
who resigned. In order that those now
employed may be able to stay on.
Mr.. Wilmeth is not certain that the
decrease will come on June /. but he
estimates that it will come between
that date and the beginning OF the
fiscal year. which Is July /.

The bonds were temporary ones and
did not require SO much work. with
the new bonds however, more work
Is required on them and the bureau
has only been able to maintain q
speed Of about 100000 a day. This is
considered remarkable by many ex-
perts on plant production and the
bureau Is being held up all over the
country as a model With the revenue

The bureau estimates that in addi-
