' Did [ ..rot ptiow this tpunoue com that wub pa&ned o!f on me by a darkey not a month ago?" said M?e yen tinman, at the fame time imucuiag hie hand into the depths of one of His trousers' pockets and tnkinj; therefrom what looked like k genuine silver 'trade" do] ar, of the sories of 1887. "1 would not take $2 for it,1' replied tue Lee county man. "It is the most unique specimen of the silversmith's art 1 ever saw. Just look here," said he, giving the innocent dollar a tap in the palm of his hand and instantly it parted in twain. Only on one edge it was hold together by u delicately concealed spring and revealed the heretofore hidden photograph of a pretty woman, apparently about 30 years old, rather stout, with blue eyes and light hair?evidently the picture of some man's wife. Upon close examination it can bo seen that two silver dollars were hollowed out and the two opposite parts fitted together so neatly that it was only by accident that it was found to contain a secret spring. How it came into the possession of the negro is not known nor can his identity h><? fnlltr tablished. The only thoory that an be advanced in, that it wn? the property of some travehntr man who adopted thia method of carry'up his wife's photcyrrnh r.ud donbtiefiB paid it. out through mistake, ihinkina that it was only one of the ordiit&iy filver dollars so common in tiio south?
