Counterfeits.
During the past decade strange
people liave moved to some of tlie
quiet places of the far south aud
.Brandle county has had its share of
them. As a rule they brought northern
energy into lazy neighborhoods,
and they prospered accordingly, geitinggood
liviugs where nature was
kind, aud laying up something for
rainy days.
Braudle is also the name of the
county seat, one of the delightful old
towns where it is always afternoon
except when asleep at night.
.But for a whole hour one day it
woke up.
Johu Heath was the State's attorney.
He was a young man who had inherited
the olVice aud the wealth of his
uncle, old Judge .Bodge.
Heath was looking at the world
American fashiou over the toes of his
Iwisvtu orwl Whorift* rIV\r>? ill I
and asked if there was anything new. |
"Now, ?*heritt," was the reply, "why
ask that ? You know the only thing
that goes on in this office is the cloek."
"Same down my way. I'm tbiuking
of hiring somebody to commit a
crime so as to have company."
Just then a curious-looking person,
medium in height, shoulders bent,
hair gray almost to whiteness, face
wriukled and yellowish, entered
almost on a ruu.
"My name is Faith?William Faith"
he said. "Used to live in Wisconsin,
but daughter's health was bad and 1
looked for a warmer climate and
moved down here. You're the law
officer, ain't you ? Yes. Well, I
bought a small ylace about five miles
out of town for 5>2CM)U, paid $1UU0 down
and gave a mortgage. A mouth ago
I got the rest of my money from
Wisconsin and I put it in the bank
here. Day belore yesterday three
meu came along and wanted to buy
the place?offered me S3U00 if I could
show I was able to pay the mortgage
A+f SJn I t?an\a fn fftivn VOQfprHuv
aud got tbe money, and this morning
we struck tbe bargain aud they counted
out their cash and I counted out
mine and they put it all in a box and
sealed it aud give it to my daughter
Matilda to keep untii to-morrow, but
after they left we got kinder curious
and?"
"You opened the box and found
nothiug but paper" interrupted Heath.
"Old man, you have been buncoed?
swiudled."
Mr. Faith fell back in his chair as
if in a faint, but suddenly he jumpped
up, exclaming, "There they go, now!
There they go, now!" aud tore out of
the office after them, the sheriff and
Health following and all shouting at
three men iu a wagon.
The men evidently did not know
exactly what to do. Apparently they
first meditated fight, but when they
saw Sheriff Price draw from the recesses
of his wardrobe an ugly looking
gun, discretion made them ha t, anu
where the team slopped was almost in
front of the Brandle bans.
At that moment the excitment was
greatly inteuitied by the appearance
ot a Haxen Daireu, uiue-eyeu auu altogether
attractive young woman, wbg
was crying hysterically and asking
ber father if tbey would get back tbeir
money.
One of the three men in the wagon
jumped down and asked Mr. Faith if
ne would talk the matter over
privately. He invited Mr. Faith into
tbe bank, and with perfect sangfroid
asked the cashier if tbey might use
the private room for a few minutes.
Miss Faith insisted on accompanying
her father, and when be said it
wa3 not necessary she replied, with
great temper: "You've made a fool
of yourself once to?day, and you shan't
do it again if I can help it."
After the interview, which lasted
less than ten minutes, Mr. Faith came
out with bis daughter close behind
him. When he started for the door
she grabbed bim by tbe coat and said:
"No, you don't. Put the mouey back
iu tbe bank?every cent of it. Don't
go out with it, or you'll lose it again."
The old man acted as if dazed, but
did as he was bid, and shoved through
the grating 10 new one-hundred-dollar
note*. The cashier looked at them
sharply, then put tbem under a
microscope, and tinally said: "I don't
like this uew money, it may be counterfeit."
"They're the bills we got from you,"
said the well dressed man, speaking
to Mr. Faith.
"That's a lie," was the response.
"I gave you the ones I got from the
bank, and-you know those weren't the
ones," addressing the cashier.
The cashier corroborated him.
The well-dressed man seemed knocked
out aud called his associates in.
There was a hurried conference and
they asked to have another conference
with Mr. Faith. It was grauted, aud
the youug ludy again stood by her
father, to the manifest admirauou of
the gathered population.
She came out with him and steered
him straight to the cashier's desk aud
another pile of notes was pushed
through the grating.
"This is the money I paid out to
you yesterday, " was the comment of
cashier, whom theexcitment was making
so nervous that 1*? had to say
something or faiut.
"That's right, " said Mr. Faith.
"And you can give that o'her stuff'
back to the men. I only want my
own and 1 feel pretty low down
ashamed for making sucn a fool of myself."
Here Heath and the sheriff', who
had been watching the proceenings
and had kept a faithful eye upon the
three men, came forward.
"You are ready now to swear out a
a warraut agaiust these men," said
Heath to Mr. Faith.
"Father" said the girl, "dou't you
do another thing, but come right
home with me."
" But," said Heath, "we must have
something to arrest these men for?we
must have his complaint."
"I dont't want nothing else to do
with'em," replied Mr. Faith, with
emphasis. Iu vain did Heath aud
the sheriff' try to stop him. He had
all he wanted, his money was safe in
the bank aud he was not going to
bother with anything or anybody
nnv Inneer.
I Heath told the sheriff to watch the
men while he had a talk with the
cashier.
"Can you swear that these notes are
counterfeit?" he asked.
The cashier paused, looked, flushed
and stammered. His self-possession
was gone. "I suspect they are," he
said, "but I could'nt swear to it. I
really don't know. I?i" and lie
broke down.
"Then you don't know whether
they are or not ?"
And to this he gave a reluctant.
"No."
When the spokesman found how
things were going he simply walked
to the cashier anil asked for the return
of the money, and no one could keep
him from getting it. Then, with a
bow to the attoney and the sheriff, he
said: "Gentlemen, as you have nothing
against us, I trust you will permit
us to resume our journey," and with
set faces they drove off.
Heath and the sheriff held many
quiet conferences in the old office,
1*
still be moaning the quietude of the
county, but finding material for endless
speculation in Mr. Faith's experience,
and tbey wondred what had
become of the Faiths, for the old man
sold out and moved away soon after
j tbe aflair.
But a month later an unsigned
letter came to Heath from New York
city. The writing was evidently
disguised and there was nothing on it
tnat could possibly lead to the identity
of the writer. It ran:
"My Dear Sir?Some things are too
good to keep. We got busted in
Florida, having runup against it too
hard down there,and we started on a
buncoing expedition toward New
York, living off the country, like
soldiers, as we traveled and we had
mighty good luck until we reached
your heathenish land.
. "There we fouud William Faith?
the saints protect that name!?and he
seemed about the easiest thing we had
ever run across. We did bim up In
our best manner, and that yellowhaired
angel beamed upon us like a
heavenly vision. "But O, what a
difference in the morning! That old
sinner can give us ell cards and then
beat the baud. He shoved those
counterfeits on us and he had us. It
took all we bad gathered from the
whole trip to make up the thousand,
and even then if that cashier had
known beans from watermelons we
WOUIU nave ueeii yuur gursis uu tuc
charge of counterfeiting.
"But the slickest trick all was the
way be fiinoflammed the thousand we
handed over and then handed into
the bank the thousand he had drawn
the day before. O, he is a jewel!"
But of course this was not evidence,
aud even if it were, nobody to this
day knows where the alleged William
Faith and the flaxen-haired daugnter
have gone.

k Strong Talk In nono?ylIables Hade 'Jjf
By an Ohio Mttn.
In these day9 of turgid eloquence, i V|
which public speakers seem to vie with ,;5S
>ue another to see how many triple iral
ointed words they can lug into aspeech ? 'M
ind seem to scorn the strength and
jeauty of short words, an address de- '
ivered many years ago by A. P. Edg- - I'-a
:rton, of Ohio, has peculiar weight and
s an eloquent argument in favor of ,ill
ihort, direct methods of speech. Mr. v>w
Edgerton served in congress and was ;<jgB
si vil service commissioner under Presilent
Cleveland. The address was de- * , i'Jj
ivered in 1882 at the commencement $
>f the Fort Wayne high school, in Inliana,
and, while it was impromptu,' ?
kod not at all a studied eirort at mono- -v.;
yllable diction, each of the words con- ' . '/Y ains
a monosyllable. Not, only that,
)ut as an oratorical effort it ranks high. {ft
Fhe address is as follows : ?
"This day we close for the year the .j
i'ort Wayne free schools, and we now
?art with you, the girls and" boys we -"m
ire no more to teach. ,?"^8
"I say girls and boys, for when
hreescoreand ten years have come to -i
rou you will be glad to have your JJ
riends say that health and peace of >'- ?
aind have kept your hearts warm;
hat you wear no brow of gloom, are - Sty
lot borne down with age; but still, in If
leart, are 'girls and boys.' When 1
hree-sore years come, and I hope they J
vill come to all, the tide oftimewiu '
oil back and tell you of your school- , 7
ime days, when the fair, the kind and * V.J
he true found love; but the false *3
leart found no friend, no tongue to s*?
jraise. These days bring rich gifta to
ige, and when you shall cease to think gs
if them your fire has burned low and 1 V
'our light has gone out. You have ; .V
>een here taught in the hope that the
ree schools of Fort Wayne would help . ;
o make you of use to your friends and
o the world, would give you faith in
ill that is good and true and lead you , $
o seek worft, for that you must seek . ij *
ind do if you would have a good name, 1
vealth, a home, a charge to keep or a
rust to serve. Go forth with a bold,
rue heart to seek the work for you to A y
"Keep in your mind that the hours $j|
o work run through each day and ' *
hat God's great law of life is, 'In the
weat of thy face shalt thou eat bread.'
"Now, for you,young man,this truth ^
s told.
"Go where you will through the $$
vorld and you will find on the front
ioor of shops and mills, of stores and
>anks, aud on ships, on farms, on :?
oads, in deep mines where men toil
or wealth ; where laws are made that
nake some men too rich aDd men of
vorth and work through ali our land
?i? ? i? i
UU puui j wucic uicu ujr law axe mu^uv
,o plot with sin, to spurn tbe right,
bat charge and cost and spoil may
nake old 'Quirk's' law firms rich;
vbere law is so plead that the judge
nustguess to find what's law; where
juacks most flgbt o'er sick men's pain
ind dead men's bones; where types
ire set and none to mind the proofs;
vbere priests do preach and pray and
vbere schools are taught this sign,
Brains Will Find Work Here.'
Dont fear. Step up and ask for work;
>rains will get it. Don't let I dare not
vait on 'I would'?libe the cat that
oves fish; but dares not wei ber foot.
If it be said, 'what can you do? will
fou learn a trade?" say, 'I have none;
)ut I can learn one and put brains in
t.' wnen you go 10 a piace wnere
arains should hunt for work and be <
sure to find it, it may be said to you.
Do you see that plow ? Can you hold
md drive Jit deep?; That plow in its
ivise use, gives all men food.
"Do you see that wheel and that
;rank and those shafts aod that press,
md do you hear the rush and the hiss W
)f the steam which moves them ? Can
fou make and hold and run them?
Dan you build and drive the works
md wheels which make the wealth of
;he earth and cause it to roll and to
float to and fro from place to place,
vhere it is the best man to use it?
"Can you spin the threads and
weave it which makes robes for kings >
md sijks for the rich and vain, and
Iress for the poor and all that skill and
irt have wrought by loom and hand v
'or man's use? ^
"These things are all shot through
vith threads of light?the light of
niud and art aud skill which shines
>aoh day more bright and dims all the
>ld by some new found light as the
'ears go on."
If you have a irood watch and w?nt It re
aired bo 11 will keep time, you know the
est Ih always the cheapest. Mr. Bernau only
eeps the bent materials. Jewels and malnprlngs,
and as he does not charge any more
ban any one else for same amount of work,
he cheapest In the long run will be to give
dm your watch for repairs.
