Originally they were exact synonyms; q

use of tally-sticks one would think, must be-
long either to remote antiquity or to regions
beyond civilization and its accompanying
school arithmetic; yet such is by no means
the case. That it still survives in rural
France is attested by an American educator
who has Travelled much in that country.
Sitting among a group of blue-bloused
peasants before the fireplace Of country
inn, the landlady of which also conducted the
village bakery, he noticed hanging from the
mantel two great bundles of sticks Exam
lining them, he found that each rod was
about eighteen inches long and was split up
more than three-quarters OF its length, the
split portion being covered with notches,
while upon the handle was inscribed name.
The mistress Of the inn observed him
puzzling over these mysterious objects and
good naturedly explained that they were

from which 1t had been originally taken and
then with knife notch was cut at the
point of contact at one side, so as to mark
both pieces of wood. When one side was
thus scored full the score was carried down
the other junction.
As soon as the account was paid the tally
stick was thrust into the fire.
: The visitor carried away a tally as a
curiosity, but on showing 1t in England he
was surprised to learn that farmers wife
in that part Of the country in which he was
staying kept her account for butter ana

CASE ".

CASE w.
THERE can be little doubt that old
Capt. Boynton--George B. Boynton
staged the dramatic production
that made Senior Nopistoles national fig.
ure in Santo Domingo. 1t was the Captain
who furnished the arms and ammunition
used in that private battle refereed by the
Sefior. AS battles go 1t fell short of word
Importance but 1t had its distinctive
points.
We know to begin with that Capt. Boyn-
ton was smuggling arms to both sides of
the political quarrel that was wrenching
Santo Domingo at that time. am unable
To recall the names of the leaders of the two
factions engaging in the revolution. 1t really
doesn't matter. There was another revolu-
lions during the whole week preceding the
one over which Senior Nopistoles main
tanned supervision.
Staging a Revolution
BY Aid of Referee
J This particular revolution, which, unless
my memory fails me, took place between
o'clock one balmy afternoon and dinner
time, differed from the rest only in that
It had the distinction of having a referee.
Therefore inasmuch as this tale has to do
with Capt. George Boynton we shall review
that particular revolution by way Of estab.
fishing the proper background for the Cap
tain.
The fighting took place near Monte
Christi ON the north coast Of Santo Do
mingo. The administration had drawn up
its army in the public square and the in
surrectos were girding themselves to do
battle with the loyalists right there in
front Of the palace.
There were numbers of Europeans and
Americans in Monte Christi at the time
and they looked upon the coming conflict
without enthusiasm. The darned things
interfered with business. Concessions
meant nothing whatever except trouble.
Somebody ought to take over the Govern
ment and administer it on a permanent
basis Committees from the foreign colony
waited upon the President and upon the
chief of the rebels, beseeching them to
listen to reason and go on home.
Look here" they complained, we've just
had revolution and business is poor
Can't you chaps get together like good
fellows and arrange some sort Of com
promise? At least can't we have these
scenes on certain stated days-say every
Thursday afternoon--so that we can have
at least five days a week to attend to oul
business affairs?
Moreover" the business men continued
"sooner or later you will injure some one
OF us and no matter who wins you'll have
America or Great Britain or Germany
down here raising the devil about It."
But the two patriots were adamant
They felt like revolution and there wat
going to be a fight right there. A figh
was something like children, the warriors
contended liable to happen anywhere.
There was an American cruiser in tn,
harbor and to the commander of this yes

and with that $4,000 he would evolve $780,
900. In a remarkably short space of time,
you understand. he would have minted suf-
ficient cash to finance the revolution that
would place an anti-Castro man in the pal
ace and invaluable concessions in the hands
of the Captain.
Incidentally with his percentage of the
output of his coin mill he would buy in
the stock Of the Orinoco Company. The
plan was comprehensive and magnificent.
The one great trouble with it was that the
enemies of Castro visualized themselves
victorious but empty handed. In other
words they beheld themselves holding sne
entirely empty bag while the genius, the
Captain. would possess everything worth
having.
The Captain prevailed upon q book
seller, B. N. Monson, to seek the nec'
time seeking die makers. He went to the
Klemm Brothers, firm Of excellent repute,
which had made mint supplies for foreign
Governments He told them he wanted
eight sets OF dies, and gave them Vene-
zuelan coins as models. He agreed to pay
$4,000 for the work. Monson was less sue
cessful. He visited capitalist after capi-
talist. They were not enthusiastic. Pres
emily one of them telephoned the United
States Secret Service and l was detailed
to give the matter my attention.
1t is, of course violation of United
States laws to counterfeit the currency OF
another Government All that l needed
was to learn that the Captain had actually
made the stuff. One of my associates, pos
ing as wealthy ranchman from Montana
or some such place. managed to attract the
attention OF the Captain, and the Captain
was warm in his praises Of his schemes.
He held back nothing. He told US all he
had in his mind. There was no trouble
about it. Candor was one of the Captains
many charms.
We arrested Monson, the Captain and
the Klemms. The latter gentlemen proved
that they were entirely guiltless. They
had been deceived by the Captains forged
papers. The United States Commissioner
declared that he had no jurisdiction In the
cases of Monson and the Captain, and we
took the matter to the Federal Grand Jury
and l rearrested Monson. The Captain
was not available. He was in Trinidad
Monson's attorney cabled the old chap,
saying that it would go hard with his
client unless the Captain was present.
"Am coming back at once,' was the Cap.
tain's reply by cable. "Never deserted q
friend in my life"

And the Captain did return by next boat.

To dispose of the revolution in hand,
permit me to tell you that Senior Nopistoles
failed to induce the two warriors to call

"Come up and argue little with these
two Napoleons." cried the Americans and
Europeans. "See IL you can't do something
to make these fellows keep the peace.
There's not whole pane Of glass in town
since the latest revolution. You'd better
come up and give US hand"
BY the time the American naval officer
reached the public square in front Of the
palace the battle was about to begin. The
revolutionists had taken their proper
places, had loaded their cannon and double
shotted their muskets. The Government
troops, clad in their dress uniforms, were
parked in menacing attitude on the palace
steps. ..
Between the two defiant lines strobe the
American naval officer. He blew his nose
harshly and called upon the two generals
TO come forth and talk. The civilian popu-
lation. having taken to the roofs and well
sheltered windows, where one might behold
the battle in reasonable security. emitted
a mighty cheer as the American called the
two principal warriors into the centre of
the ring for instructions.
"See, see," they shouted, and the oppos.
ing armies saw and Joined the applause.
1.-The brave American officer comes I'M
armed. He carries no weapons. He comes
alone. He is magnificent. No pistols at
his side. No sword In his hand"
Before the shouting and the tumult had
died away the American officer had won
his name.
"No pistoles. No pistoles," cried the ad-
miring populace. HE has no pistoles
Senior Nopistoles, Senior Nopistoles!"
The cheering was so tremendous and the
enthusiasm so infectious that the two
armies became somewhat disorganized.
They got together and cheered in mighty
unison for Senior Nopistoles because he was
brave man. There is no question in my
mind that our old friend Capt. Boyn-
ton was among the enthusiastic spectators.
You see, 1t didn't matter to the Captain
whether there was a fight or not. He
knew that there would be more revolutions
and that one can't stage an effective revolu-
ton without firearms. And Captain George
was one of the best of all the purveyors Of
firearms.
