When he had finished reading the circular, he was gasping at tho magnitude of the posai- bilities which seemed suddenly to have opened before him. His hand trem- bled a¢ he turned hungrily .to the printed slip that accompanied the cir- cular, It purported to be a newspaper clipping, setting forth that, in spite of the utmost vigilance of the ofiicials, certain engraved plates had stolen from the United States Treas nry, from which notes —exactly the eame as the genuine except that they did not have the sanction of the Gov ernment thousands of dollars’ worth. lowing extr been The fol y fair samole of the of the article TUT wphistry “As the case stands these people in | New York liave everything their own way, for their shrewd work seems to It seems to bo a positive fact tht they are in posses sion of duplicate Treasary plates ex- netly the same ae those used by the Government, and the paper is similar to that upon which the genuine notes are printed, Itis a profound mystery how and from whence they obtain it they do business, | gent rated ’ were being printed by the scoundrels are dealing in are so fine and perfect that there is not one chance in ten thousand of detecting them, andall the detectives have failed to unearth the slightest clue to makers or users," Lyman Tarsney had never been des- perate or depraved. His sins had been chiefly of omission rather than of com- mission, He had never stolen aught except precious time, and the happi- ness and comfort of his wife and chil- dren. He had always been one of those sanguine souls who are content to wait patiently for something to turn up, | instead of rolling high their sleoves and turning up something for them selves, In the old home State he had done fairly well, till finally he had conceived the belief that in Missouri was located the El Dorado where kindly nature re- { turned a maximnm of reward for a | minimum of toil.

She | bad uttered little complaint, but had toiled on, her life out at the | washtub in the hope of one day re turning to the dear old home com | munity. Sometimes she said hope fully “Maybe my health will be better when we get back home.” The younger children knew only by morrow,’ ton years in wearing hearsay about the old home, but they in the belief that happiest place on earth, were all strong was the They to go.

Out of the hoard the husband and father, too, must be well clothed and provided witha railway ticket. He had added but little to | the fund, possibly five dollars in all-— but then he was the husband and father, Mrs. Tarsney was afraid of banks, and so the slowly growing hoard was kept in the old pewter Sugar bowl. “It won't be so very long now,” the | poor woman said, hopefully, and then | a paroxysm of coughing shook har. i “My dollar a day will count up pretty | fast, and Johnny and Jimmy will make a great deal while grapes last.” Lyman Tarsney lay awake all night | long, torn by doubts and indecision, | He believed he loved his little flock. | He wonld have done right by them long ago, he told himself, if only some- thing had turned up to give him a chance to do so, The something for | which he had so patiently waited had | been along time in turning up. jut now, he thought, the opportunity had | come; he had his chance at last. | Just asthe first faint gray was creep- ing up in the east, Lyman Tarsney arose from and stole | sugar-bowl beside his sleeping wife the battered old pewter and its contents, every penny of which rep nted so much | of patient self-denial, of toil and pri- vation, As he slunk room Mrs, Larsney, y yme slight noise that he «1 uneasily the if and | man pas i a repronchiul v called to him, But the poor w 1C¢ had man did not awaken, crept out of the b ard in his clut and no with the to the Admission | m was wrapped in darkness He could hear the regular breath. ing of its sleeping inmates.

This evil is in creasing every year, and the adjacent fields show tho bad effects. During the present season in Maryland the fields have been dotted with the com mon white daisies to an extent that actually threatens the erowding out of the grasses and clovers in the meadows, In Baltimore County there are rosds where the sow thistle, teazle, wild car- rot and many other noxious weeds are annually allowed to grow in rank pro fusion.
