Eleven o'locle struck ! Twelve 1 and still Aunt 'Stasia sat there, re- solvedto die sooner than yield to the drowsiness that weighed down her eyelids. At length she started up at the sound of footsteps on the rude plank bridge that spanned the trout brook at the foot of the lane. 'There they come!' said she, springing to her feet, and bundling a shawl around her head. Her eyes could scarcely pierce the starry dark of the summer night,but there were figures coming up the lane and she could faintly distinguish the sound of muffled voices.. Creeping down into the shadow of the old smoke -house, Aunt 'Stasia there awaited her prey, and bounced out upon them as they advanced. `Oh, you've come, have ye?' she screamed. 'You lazy, good-for-noth- in', tricky things. But I'll teach you a lesson you never learned. before. Get in there, quick !' Opening the smoke -house door with one hand, she used the other as a propelling force to push the amazed new comes into the dismal old place, turning the rusty key• in its wards with a jerk, and then twirled around to confront their escort, a tall young man, who, having lingered to close the lane gate, was just making his wav up through aforest of tall w 'We two. wart i' the brook Free manila' sun ti' nuns, Andplay'd around the ingle nook,.

TWO FAIR CONSPIRATORS And finally when at last Aunt Aunt 'Stasia's shrill voice calling up the stairs abruptly terminated their castle in the air. 'Prudence! Charity; Where be ye? What ye 'bout?

It is•one of the most interesting places in the Nation's. -Capital, and it is perhaps due to ,,the fact that, as the bulk of the community lead honest and industrious lives, the eareers of those who pursue the op- posite course are of more or less interest. At any rate, whatever; the motive, it is well known that every- thing that relates to erime and criminals,: possesses a fascinating in- terest for the average man and woman. To gratify this' tendency or weakness of human nature, as well as to furnish a practical object lesson of what Uncle Sam has done in the past and what he is likely to do in the future if he finds anybody attempting to usurp his right to coin money, there is always on exhibi- tion a collection of pictures of noted counterfeiters, and also of the tools which they use. Whenever an officer of the govern- ment seizes a counterfeiter, he con- fiscates all the spurious money which he is able to find and the best speci- mens of the skill of these men are framed and hung up for the inspec- tion of visitors. The collection shows some Crude work, as ° well as some exceedingly skilful work. It is very evident, however, even to the casual visitor who inspeets this exhibit of the skilful dishonesty of the country, that Unele Sam has introduced so many improvements in the manufacture of his paper money, tbatitispractically impossible to counterfeit it. with. any success. Even Breakaway, who is admitted to be the cleverest engraver that ever. .engaged in the business, was unable to reproduce the paper itself, and the result was that the notes he te, the turned out were rather easy to detect. inspector asked teachers who took in the production of silver coins, to hold up their however, the counterfeiters have their local papers , hands, and out of one hundred pre- more opportunity but still, such a;( sent only six responded.
