LiiYp.ir B navin? elapsed since
peace was definitely concluded be
tween France and Germany, the Im
perial Chancery has submitted to the
Federal Council of the German Em
pire a nal report upon tho manner
ia which the French War Indemnity
Las been disposed of. The total sum
exacted from France by her conquer
ors os tho prico of peace amounted,
as will be remembered, to considera
ble more than $1,000,009,000, every
cent cf which has been expended,
distributed to the several German
states, or invested in newly create d
Imperial institutions by its official
administrators beforo tie conclusion
of the financial Year, 1877-8. It
would appear from tho report in ques
tion that nearlv the whole of this
vast treasury above four-fold the
National debt of Prussia bas been
devoted to curroEes indirectly con
nected with the development of
Germany's military defences. The
Imperial share of the indemnity is set
uow n at about SoO.'jiju.uuu, imny
million cf which, in coined gold, lie
deposited in the Julius lower, at
Spandeau. and constitute a fund
w herewith the preliminary expenses
of Germany's next war may be paid
in hard cash. Other $140,000,000
have been employed in founding the
Imperial Military Fund, while the re
maining ?S0,000,U0o odd were spent
in strengthening the delences oi t.i
caas-Lothringen and ia remedying
the damage done to property in those
rovencies during tbo war ot Ifc.U-l.
The balance of the indemnity was
diviued in exact proportion to the
rcsoective numbers ot their several
copulations, amonjr the German
States wbicb bad participated in the
France and German struggle, namely
the former North Gertraa Confedera
tion, Bavaria, Wurteniberg, Paden,
and Ilesse. The portion allotted to
the North German Confederatioa,
was dedicated by Ac; of Parliament,
July 8th, 1S73, to the liquidation of
the v ar Loans, the re-armament ot
the imperial forces, and tho augmen
tatioa of tho latters numerical strength
end fighting capacity. Similar dia
positions of their shares ia the migh
ty spoils were made by the minor
German States. Prussia epent her
8nrplns ia constructing strategical
railways and in fortifying her eastern
frontier. Thus the colossal sums
rung from France in the hour of her
defeat and humiliation mar be said
lo have been entirely absorbed bv

burden of military harness hitherto

THE WIDOW KEEB.
Penis McClaia and Dick Renshaw
were two of the most expert and suc
cessful counterfeiters ever known in
the Northwest. Both were bold,
shrewd men, who bad defied the laws
and evaded justice by one artifice or
another for years, and were noted for
their courage and coolness in the face
of danger.
Counterfeiting was their specialty,
and it was said among the profession
th6t "Dick Kensbaw and Denis aic-
Lain bad turned out some of the best
work ever put afloat in the West." !
Tteir last exploit had been the
counterfeiting of the ten-dollar notes
of a Chicago bank, and so perfect
were tbey that hundreds of people
were victimized and the bank officers
themselves could hardly tell the spu
rious notes from the genuine. Ilen-
shaw and McLaia were suspected,
and Hogh Graham, a detective of
more than ordinary ability, was de
tailed to work out the case.
With patient perseverance, he
traced thodaring criminals from one
haunt to another, until he finally dis
covered that bis men bad taken up
their abode with a widow lady who
resided about half a mile from the lit
tle village vt M . on the fluincy
k Burlington Ilailroad. 1 lib widow
Mrs. Heed by name wag a quiet,
lady-like person, and by the village
folks generally was considered a very
worthy aud highly respectable worn an
Graham felt quite sure that she knew
nothing about the true character of
ber boarders, who represented them
selves to be real estate men looking
up the value of land ia that locality,
and were only known as Mr. Day
and Mr. W illiams by the unsuspecting
villaeers.
While Graham was making cau
tious inquiries about the widow and
her 6traoge lodgers, in a small back
room on the ground-floor of the lady's
modest cottage, those two lodgers
were seated in earnest conversation.
The one, tall, and rather fine looking,
with black hair and ey and Bome
what slow to speech, was Denis Mc
Lain. The other, short and stout,
with a smooth, beardless face, and
cheeks as "osy as a girl's, was Pick
Uec&haw, "the best oote engraver
outside of the State Prison," as a
friend ot bis once proudly remarked,
in speaking of his talents.
Said Renshaw now known as Wil-
jliams, rising and walking uneasily tip
and down the floor :
"I'm euro it was Graham, and tho
fellow with bim !8 Jim Ilcming, a
bandy-legged Chicago detective, who
I saw ia St Louis last winter, the
time we put out the five. There's
no mistake, 1 tell you. I saw them
net eff tba train at M , not an
hour ago, and they mean business "
"Well, if tbey do, we must outwit
them that's all," replied the older
man quietly.
But how ? I fear we are run to
earth this time, Denis. We can't
give them the slip in this small town,
and the confounded telegraph will
bead us off which ever way we
turn."
"No, there's no hope of escapo is
that direction."
"What are we to do then ?"
"Do? Why, etay and take chances
where we are."
Dick looked at bim in astonish
ment, but said nothing, and his com
panion continued :
"We are in a very tight place,
that's certain, but I don't despair.
Graham is good on aia,ke. Vow
there is nothing here to convict us
not a dollar of the stuff on the prem
ises, and the dies and plates are all
safely ont of the way. I took good
care of that part of the busines. It
is now only 8 o'clock aod if we work
lively we will give Graham and bis
bandy-legged friend Borne trouble yet
before tbey catch us."
In a few words Denis explained his
plan of outwitting the detectives, and
when be bad finished, Dick nodded
approvingly, and they both left the
room together.
It was just 9 o'clock, cf a bright
June morning, that two men walked
leisurely up the road leading to Mrs
Reed's dwelling.
As they neared the house they saw
an elderly gentleman, with gray hair
and beard, hoeing corn in the field on
the opposite side of the mad, and the
larger of the two gentlemen, who was
none other than the clever detective,
Graham, pleasantly accosted tbe old
laborer :
"A Coe morning yon have for hoe
ing my friend, and your corn is look
ing nicely for the time of tbe ye ar "
The old man straightened himself
up with difficulty, and glanced curi
ously at the speaker.
"Yes, it's a promiein' crop; but the
land is good about here, sir, and good
land brings good crops most eeoeral
ly," answered the simple old fellow
"Ah, that explsioB it," laughed the
detective. "Could you tell us if the
house over yonder belongs to the
widow Reed if"
The old man pushed back bis worn
straw hat, rested the blade of bis boe
on his heavy boot and replied, with
great deliberation :
"Yes, that's the widder's ; may be
you are looking for board ?"
"Not exactly ; bat we have friends
etopping with her stranger ; though
I presume you have seea them ocea
6ionally at M. ."
"Well, ves, I've aeen a couple of
strangers thereby city fellers," said
the honest toiler thoughtfully ; "bat I
never seea 'em to speak to. They
don't be social like to country folks,
and keep pretty much by themselves
That is my bouse you see over there,"
pointing to a tumbled down old bui! J
ing, perched on a bill side at soma
distance across tbe fields. "I've lived
there nigh on to twenty years and
I've often seen tbe bidder's boarders
around of a morning long afore most
people are up. My wife thinks they
must be queer sort of folks for they
burn a light all night I hear tbey
may be inventors, matin' a new kind
of a machine to keep steam boilers
from bustia', and don't want their se
cret to get out"
Tbe detective's face beamed with
satisfaction.
"Here's a trifle for you," bo said
well pleased, and passed on.
The laborer pocketed the "trifle,"
and bent again to his toil, pulling up
the rich earth around the root ot tbe
young corn with renewed energy.
The widow Reed was a small deli
cate featured woman of perhaps forty,
with innocent bine eyes and soft brown
hair which was just beginning to
show a trace of "silver threads."
And it was the little widow herself
who opened the door to Graham
respectfal knock. To ber look of in
quiry, be Aid :
"I called to see Mr Williams. Is
be at borne ?"
"I will see," she replied, politely
and tripped away to ascertain.
She soon returned, and announced
that neither Mr. Williams nor bis
friend Mr. Day were ia their room,
adding:
"They usually take a walk about
this time, but are seldom gone more
than an bonr. Would you like to
wait or leave cards?"
that

hospitably remarked : i
"Perhaps you would prefer waiting
in their room, as it ' is cooler there
than here." Glancing at the dazzling
sunlight, which was just commencing
to flood the windows of the little par
lor. '
Both visitors eagerly assented to
the lady's proposition, and were at
once shown to the room of tbe ab
sent counterfeiters. There the un
suspicious widow left them and turn
ed to her coasenoia amies.
As may readily be supposed, the
detectives were not scrupulous
about examining ".be appartmeat and
its belonging in a most thorough and
business manm-r. Bat nothing was
found not a ;ga of anything calcu
lated to implicate the inmate with
tbe crimo of maViog bad monev.
For a "den" of counterfeiters i;
was certainly all very natural aud
homelike. The detectives looked
I puzzled, and were still confident that
tcey were oa me ngui nous..
Minute after minute passed away,
and no sound broke tbe stillness save
tbe splashing and rubbing of a stout
servant girl, who was waging mine
littie summer-kitchen adjoining the
room in which they eat. To and fro
she walked from tnb to boiler and
starch bowl, ber fcleeves rolled up,
an old blue sun-bonnet drawn over
her heated face, and girt around tt-e
waist by a wet sudsy apron
An hur went by. Mr. Williams
ana his companion had not returned;
and the detectives were about to
6ummon Mrs. Reed for tho purpose
of making further inquiries when tho
cood lady presented herself at tbe
door, and said, in a tone ot gentle
apology :
"1 am afraid you Cad it rather
tiresome waiting. It is quite unusu
al lor tbem to remain away so long."
"Did they leave no message?" as-k-ed
Demiug.
"Not that I know of," she answer
ed simply enough.
"Have you any objections to ask
ing your servant ?"
"None at all. I should have
thought of it before."
She instantly withdrew, and a mo-
ccout after tho hsteuiug detectives
beard ber interrogating the stout do
mestic, who appeared in no amiable
mcod.
"Did Mr. Day Ieavo any message
with you, Amanda, when he went
out this morning ?"
"Leave a message with rue ?" enap
cd Amanda, giving tho sheet she was
wringing a vicious twist around her
arm. "Why should he leave a mes
sago with me ? But come to think
cf it. Mr. Williams left a note as he
was a goin' out and told me to give
J, in i.n if vnn actrnfY ohnnr him '
"Tupa why do ytj not do bo,
Amanda, without keeping tae waiting
all this time ? Give ms tbe note now,
if you please."
"Because you did uot ask me. And
with washing and a hundred things
to do besides, it went clean out cf my
mind. The notes around here some,
wheres ; I forgot just where I put it,
Ob, its there on tbe winder sill !"
And with this waspish icform&tioa,
Amanda snatched op her backet ot
clothes and went to hang them upon
the line ia the back yard, while her
mistret-8 glad apparently to be rid of
ber ungracious servant, took the note
and immediately returned to her anx
ious visitors, who had heard every
word of the above conversation
"Vou are right in your conjunct
ures," she sard, "Mr. Williams did
leave a message, or a note which
amouots to about the same thing, and
no doubt will explain what now
seems so ttrange."
She tore open tbe note, and it did
explain with a vengeance. It ran
thust
Dear Mes. Reed Business of
great moment calls us away at once.
We will not return. Inclosed piease
find remittance for two weeks' board,
in addition to which we akogive you
our personal effects, which we find in
convenient to lake with us at the
present time.
With thanks for jour maoy kind
nesses, I remain, respectfully,
"O. W. Williams"
Poor Mr 8. Reed was astonished.
"I don't understand it 1" she gasped
sinking into a chair. "I don't under
stand it at all!"
"But I do !" cried the enraged Gra
ham, springing to bis feet "Deming,
we are completely fooled, and, while
wailing here like a couple of idiots,
tbey have given us tbe slip."
"Who are you ? What can you
mean ?" exclaimed the wid jw, in
great alarm.
"We mean, madam, that your late
boarders are two of the most acoom-
plished counterfeiters ia the Uuted
States, We are detectives and are
here to arrest tbem that is we came
for that purpose ; but"
"Gracious heavens! what do I
bear ? Counterfeiters ! and 1 thought
them perfect gentlemen," interrupted
Mrs. Heed, now terribly agitated,
aud trembling in every limb.
"X'eriect scoundrels! icis is a
devil of a business after all the troub
le we have had," said Graham turn
ing to his companion. "They are off
on the train that left M half aa
hour ago, and all we can do is to tel
egraph and stop tbem, if possible, be
fore they can reach Qoincy."
Mrs. Reed was pale with fear and
consternation, io know that she
had been innocently harboring two
such dreadful characters naturally
filled ber with horror and dismay.
"Perhaps tbey are concealed some
where about tbe place, and have not
gone off at all ;" she faltered, hardly
daring to speak abjve a whisper.
"They may be biding in the barn or
the wood shed or the bouse at this
very moment," looking around ap
prehensively and with a risible shud
der. "Amanda and I are alone
what could we do if they should be
here? "Tbey might murder us in our
beds or burn tbe house. It is fright
ful to think of it ; and tbey were so
gentlemanly, and paid their board so
promptly !'' historically bewailed the
widow, "sinking back into ber chair,
quite overpowered by tbe horror of
her unprotected situation. -"Don't
alarm yourself madam.
They are far enough away, I'll war
rant yon, to prevent yoa from " pre
vent you from presenting them with
a pair of bracelets to-day," was the
baffled Graham's grim reply.
But the poor' woman was still skep
tical, and tearfully implored them tor
at least search the bouse, and not
leave her at the mercy of a brace of
villains, who might be secreted with
in sound of their voice, for all that
they knew to tbe contrary.
This the officers did cot believe,
feeling eonviaced that the game bad
taken wing; nevertheless they made
a hasty search of the house and oat
buildings, running against and nearly
capsizing tbe irirtable Amanda, who
was carrying a tnb of sods, and who
resented the indignity by aa offend
ed jerk which came near deluging
tbe luckless Deming with its soapy
contents. - .
Of course, tbe search was useless.
No counterfeiter were unearthed,
The callers decided

Tbe widow stood ia tbe doorway,
and watched them disappear with a

apron, rolled down her Eleeves, and
with tho old man who came in at
that moment, retired to the room eo

Times uf last Tbueday made a brief
mention of a duel near Jacksonville,
Fla, bstween Rafael Toledo and
Yndalecio Piua, two Cubans. It ap
pears that tbe difficulty grew out of a
love affair. Pina is not a full blood
ed Spaniard, and with the taint of
the Indian in his blood lurk traces of
tba law of taions. Toledo was a Cu
ban, from the towa of Bcquecal, and
bore an excellent character. Pina
met Toledo designedly at noon on
Wednesday, aod asked him to secure
arms aad walk to the banks of ibe
oreek not far from the city borders.
Toledo evidently understood that his
enemy meant to appeal to the pecu.
liar Cuban code, in which no seconds
are required. A persoa passed up
the creek, which is now shaded with
green and bordered with flowers,
heard several pistol shots, but sus
pected nothing wrong. It transpired
tStat Toledo bad been shot dead In
stead of running away Piua returned
to Jacksonville, procured a back and
was driving tbe remains into the city
when arrested. Pina does not re
gun his act as a ctioie, arguing tbat
in pursuauce of aa old custom each
took hid lite into bis own bauds.
F'i;r chambers of the pistol taken
from Toledo's body were empty, and
Pina's pi-uol showed that be bad fired
three shots. Had a surgeon been
summoned immediately, Toledo's life
could have been saved, for he died
from exhaustion, produced by the los
of blood.
A romantic rescue is reported by
tbe Leesburg, FU, Advance: An
ardent lover boarded bis frail bark
last week on Lake Eustis to visit bis
heart's idol. The young lady stood
upon the veranda watching his ap
proach. She saw, too, a dark cloud
rising in tbe southeast Soon the
angry looking clouds overspread tbe
blue canopy of heaven, the wind rap
idly increased to a storm, and seeing
ber lover's danger she bravely enter
ed a boat to go to hia rescue. As
she pushed out from tbe shore she
saw bis boat make a lunge, as if mad
dened by the resistance of the waves
and wind, and go over. No time waa
to be lost ; the danger ahead seemed
to give ber tbe strength the desperate
occasion required, and after rowing a
mile against wind and tide she reach
ed the disaster, took ber lover oa
board, whom she found perched upon
tbe npturned boa', and rowed bsxilo
shore.

mother told tbe officers tbe place of

either end of the bridge and demand
ed bis surrender, when tbe fugitive
leaped forty feet into the river. Un
injured by the jamp, he sought the
