The Treaanrer Knew the Money W Ooo4 Ex-Treaaurer Jordan frequently amnses his friends by telling of an ex citing experience he had while treaanrer of the United States. Mr. Jordan occasionally indulges in joking re marks, uttered with a seriona countenance. It was the indulgence of this proclivity, says the Washington Star, while connected with the Treasury Department, that came near resulting in his introduction to a pair of handcuffs and incarceration in a dingy cell. Mr. Jordan had occasion to mftke a trip to New York just at a time when a new $9 bill was issued by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. It happened that the treasurer, on the day of starting on his trip, drew a portion of his salary, and the cashier handed him a bunch of the new $5 bills, which had reached the office within an hour. When he arrived in New York, Mr. Jordan proceeded to purchase some needed articles and handed the clerk one of the new bills. The clerk had never seen money that looked like that bill, which was spotless and uncrumpled by handling. He examined the alleged money and the man who gave It to bim with equal care. Mr. Jordan watched bim with suppressed amusement, and remarked in a matter-of-taot way: "It's good money. I made it myself." That was enough for the clerk, who went to the cashier's desk with the bill. There was a hurried conference, and a message was sent to police headquarters over the telephone. In a short time a couple of detectives In citizens' attire were standing on either side of the treasurer of the United States. They waited there to watch developments, fumbling their handcuffs in their pockets. In the meantime the cashier studied the new bill further, looked carefully over his counterfeit detector, and rummaged through treasury circulars relating to the issuance of money. Finally he came across a description of the new $3 bill which was to be issued by the Treasury Department His message had not yet reached the clerk, who was exchanging significant glances with the detectives and watching Mr. Jordan, when the latter, getting tired waiting for his change, and realizing that his new money was probably puzzling the cashier, produced his card. At the same moment the cashier's message that the money was not counterfeit reached the clerk, the dectectives wandered off witb crestfallen coun tenances and the treasurer proceeded to the nearest bank, where he exchanged his new bills for money that had passed through a thousand hands and was far from being sanitary.

CHAPTER XV. Egerton Tvcut with Stamlish to Waterloo, and they accomplished the journey almost in silence. The porter at the hotel Informed him that the detective had been there that morning, and would probably call the next, but bis comiug and going were extremely uncertain. Egerton hud therefore left a note for him. When they reached Enstport the wellknown common was half bidden by thick sheets of rain sweeping before a wild southeaster, while the heavy, Icaden-col-ored, threatening waves thundered along the beach. Neither uttered the thoughts which the

sight of the f a miliar place conjured up In both. Once n sigh so deep n to bo almost a moan, broke from Egerton, and he said in .1 hoarse tone: "What an ending to it all!" After a short halt nt the hotel thoy drove to the office of the lawyer who had been instructed to act for Col. Callander, should his offer of a reward produce any result. Mr. Briggs was a short, dumpy man, with whiskers meeting under hia chin, and a round, jovial face. He rolled somewhat in his walk indeed, gave strangers the Impression of being a sea-going solicitor. He was a little exalted in his own esteem by being mixed up with such swells as Standish and Egerton, and by the sort of halo the whole business had cast around him. He received them cordially. "Very glad to see you, gentlemen! The man Tom Ilitsou about whom 1 wrote, has not come yet, but lie will be here presently. I don't know that whot lie has to tell is of much importance. Steu into my private office." As he threw an inner door open, a sailor of ordinary type presented himself at the entrance of the oliice. "Oh, there you are, Ritson! Come along." They all went into the private room, where Standish at once took n chair. Egerton remained standing, and the lawyer retreated to his usual fortress, the armchair behind his knee-hole table. The sailor, holding his cap in both hands somewhat nervously, but with an air of some importance, kept rather close to the door. "Come, Ritson," said the lawyer, "tell these gentlemen your story." Ritson shifted from oue foot to the other. "Well, sir," he began, "this was the way of it. You sec, I'm an Eastport man, and I shipped aboard the Macedonia, one of the Commercial Steam Navigation Company's ships, in London Dock in September last. We put in here for a day and a night, and I had leave to go and see some of my friends as lire out Westdene way, but I was to be at my post nt seven next morning, as we were to sail with the tide." Egerton muttered a half-innrticulnte exclamation of impatience, and Briggs said aloud, "Come, get on, my man." "I must tell you it all from beginning to end," he said, "or I can't do it no wry." "Give him his head," murmured Standish in a low tone. "So," continued Ritson, "as my aunt's husband was a jovial, hospitable chap, 1 thought I'd not stay there all night, for maybe I'd drink a drop too much and oversleep myself. We sat talkiu' and chattin' till past midnight Then I says j good-by and started to walk Into Eastport I had had a drop, but only a drop. I know what I was about. It was dark when I set ont, but by an' by the moon rose, and by the time 1 struck the top of the common there was plenty of light, though every now and again a big cloud wonld come sailing across the moon. When I got alongside a pretty bit of a house, the first you come to aftr crossing the sand-hills from Westdene, I thought how quiet .nd comfortable everything looked, and thought there was a faint glimmer of light in one of the lower windows, nigh the near end of the house. While I was looking and thinking a figure comes out of a gate at the side of the house, carrying a short ladder on his shoulder. Ho put It down and stood with one arm round it, through the rungs, ns if thinking what he'd do next. There was something so quiet and stead fan in his way that it never struck me be could be after any mischief, though it did seem a bit queer his being (here with n ladder at that hour. Just then the Eastjjcrt clocks chimed out three-quarters I guessed it must be quarter to two, and that I had best make for the town as fast as 1 could. When I got a few paces off I turned and looked back, but not a sign of the man or the ladder could I see. I got into the old Mermaid Tavern, and to bed. Next morning we sailed." "Do you remember the date of this occurrence?" asked BriggB. "I do, Bir. It was the twenty-second of September and the birthday of my aunt's youngest boy, so wo drank an extra glass of grog to his health. Of course I thought no more about it. We had an uncommon rough passage across the bay, t,ad were obliged to put into Gibraltar to refit. Then we went on to Constantinople, from that to Port Said, and back, and I was left behind in hospital. Altogether I have been over six months out of England, for I came home as third officer of a small sailing ship, and it was a terrible slow tub." "When did you land here?" asked Standish. "Four days ago, sir. Then 1 beard of the murder, and the reward, so I came along here to tell what I had seen tJ at night, and you can take It all for what it Is worth." "What was the man like the man yon saw with the ladder?" continued Standish. "A tall, straight kind of a chap, about " He paused and gassed hard at Egerton. "About that gentleman's height and build." Egerton drew himself np to his full stature and looked straight at tie speaker with a stem, set expression, as if nerving himself to face some imminent danger, "Look well," he said. "Much may depend on the apparent height a nd nze of the figure you saw." "yes," returned Ritson, slowly. "He was about your height, but a little broader, it seems to me now." "How was he dressed?" asked Standish. "In a longish jacket something like a seaman's jacket; but what I noticed most was that he had neither hat nor cap on. Clothes and hair an' all looked dark. Of course I could not see very clear the light was shifty, and there was the garden and strip of common between me and imt" "Did he look like a seafaring man?" asked Briggs. "Well, sir, he wnrn't unlike one. You see, I didn't take time to look much, for, as I snid before, it didn't strik me ns he hadn't a right to be there he moved deliberate like."

"It sounds rather corroborative of our suspicions." said Standish. "Y ju are cer

tainly like thnt Spanish Ballot in height and figure! He would not have worn his

red cap on such nn errand, either!" Eger

ton bent his bond in acquiescence, but did not apeak. "I heard tell of that Spanish chap," re

routed Riison, "and I well remember puss-

lug a foreign looking era ft 11 couple of

hours after we weighed anchor. Mie was on much the name tuck as we were, but the brevsc hivd if Med her, and we soon

showed her our heels. I read her name as we passed, Veloz." "I'm afraid we can't get much help out of this," said Briggs. as he made a note or two on the paper before him. "Not at present, but it may come in usefully hereafter," observed Standish. "1 should like this good fellow's evidence taken down and duly sworn to, that it may be available in his absence." "That is quite right, Mr, Standish. I'll see to it." "Can you remember anything else that might possibly lead to the identification of this man?" "I don't think I can. sir. I did fnney n hen he was turned half towards me that there was something reddish under bis jacket, or facing the jacket." Egerton compressed bis lips and made a slight movement, as if cuius to step towards the speaker, but checked himself and continued profoundly still. "Ha!" cried liriggs, "I remember those vagabonds generally wore red bands or Hashes under their jackets. 1 think thU tliickeus the case against the Spaniarl." "Yes, it looks like it," said Standish, thoughtfully. "All I hope and trust is that the poor girl never caught a glim wo of her murderer that she never woke. It is too terrible to think of!" be added, with sudden deep emotion. Egerton grasped the back of a huge high-backed chair near him, saying, in a low, fierce tone: "And he still lives!" He drew out his purse and put nunc money in Ritson's hand, "'flint's for your trouble," be added. "Slamlish, there is no more to learn. You will find me at the hotel," aud hastily left the room.

CHAPTER XVI. When Standish reached the hotel, he found Egerton impatiently awaiting him. He was walking up and down the room, where luncheon was laid, and on the table stood a carafe of brandy, more than half empty. The sight of it reminded tftiindish that he thought Egerton had drank an unusual amount of wine the uight before. "We shiiil scarcely catch the train," said Egerton, as they sat down to a hasty meal, of which he hardly nte anything. He was very silent during the hour which ensued, and scarcely seemed to hear the comments Standish made on Ritson's story, his assertion that there was but one man nbout the premises. He only remarked abruptly: "No, I never thought there was more than one in it, and I fear I feel sure he will not soon be caught." The first part of the return journey was passed in nearly complete silence. Then Egerton, who had been looking at a continental Bradshaw, exclaimed: "Standish, I will go to Spain and hunt up this Pedro myself." "Indeed! What has " "I have frequently thought of doing it," interrupted Egerton, 'The fact is, I have not felt strong enough to undertake the journey hitherto. But I am the right man to look for him; I speak the language: and he is probably lurking in my mother's country. I knew most of the influential families in Valencia when I was there, uot

many years ago. 'lney will not have quite

forgotten me. Yes, I think I can get off the day after to-morrow. Too lunch time has been lost already." "My dear fellow," cried Standish. "do not be rash. Consult your medical adviser. Even your success will not bring poor Mabel to life, will not restore the charm of his existence to Callander, nor " "Give back the color and savor to mine," interrupted Egerton impulsively. "I nssuro you, Standish, that in my present mood I see little or no charm in life. If I could bring this There, I cannot tnlk about it. You do not dream of the extraordinary mixture of feelings which distract me." He stopped abruptly, and then went on iu a forced tone: "I am not quite an Englishman, yon see; I feel more acutely; none of you quite consider me nn out-and-out Englishman. See how Dorothy Wynn refused me; she couldn't bear me." "The whim of a very young girl," urged Standish. Egerton shook his head. "There is wonderful ripeness and decision about Miss Wynn," he said. "She is more like twenty-nine than nineteen. She disliked me with her intellect as well as her heart. However, I shall never again offend iu the same way. Yes, I'll go to Spain. It has no associations with the Immediate past, and I shall go alone." "You had better go with Dillon. I fancy be Is free just now." Egerton made no answer, nor did Standish press the question. They discussed Egerton's plans till they neared the metropolis, and Standish remarked how clear and defined they were. They had evidently not lieeu thought out on the spur of the moment. Theu thoy spoke of Callander's probable return, and Standish fancied he could trace a certain reluctance on his companion's part to meet his friend. "He shrinks from the pain of seeing him," thought Standish. "It is natural especially as he is evidently weakened and depressed." At Waterloo they parted, each going their own way. Standish found various letters, invitations and notes awaiting him, amongst them oue from Miss Oukeley. "Do come and see us ns soon as you can. We have heard that you went down to Eastport, and are dying to know the reason why. Have you found out anything? "Imagine! Mrs. Callander is to nrrive the day after to-morrow. I hail a letter from Miss Boothby. The poor old thin? seems quite worn out. for my aunt has been very unwell, and you may imagine what that means to her attendants. "If Mr. Egerton is with you, pray bring him. He is more interesting than ever. Yours truly, "HENRIETTA OAKELEY." "I hope Miss Oakeley has not communicated her knowledge or suspicions to Dorothy," said Standish to himself, when he finished this epistle. "I do not want her to be dlsturlK'd with any fresh information; she is In a pitiable state of nervous depression as it is. I wish Henrietta Oakeley would take her and the children abroad, to some place qui.e unconnected with the past. I must talk '.o her aboi t this." Looking at his watch, he found it would not be too late to present himself after dinner. He felt somewhat uneasy until he had seen Dorothy, and was certain the first glance at her face would tell him how much she knew. "The ladies had left the dinner tal le and were lii the drawing room," Collias informed the late, but welcome, vUitor when he ooiiod the door. Miss Oakeley was at the piano when Standish was shown in, and Dorothy sitting on a low chair by the lire; the dancing light played upon the red goldinbrowu of her hail',' the pale oval of her delicate, pensive face; she was more dressed than he had yet seen her, that is, her black dress was ojK'iieil in a long V. an Inner edging of white crape almost filling up the spaec, her elhow sleeves showed lier slight white arm. Siattdisli was almost .'lightened to see bow fragile, how fnlry-likc she l.i"kcd: she ought now to be looking.' none like her own bright self. The iei n ral.ve power of yei'th

ought to assert themselves by this time. At th? first syllable of his name, she started up and ran to meet bim. "How good of you to come at once, Paul! 1 know you wei.ld." "Mr. Standish! 'flu; is delightful! I am dying to hear what hvik you away to that wretched place." cried Miss Oakeley. coming over to shake hands with him, ''os, Paul, tell us evevlliu:.,' echoed Dorothy, "but first for i.iy piece of good news. I had quite a nice letter from the Colonel, lie will be home iu a week or two." "Ha! that is good, indeed! Now I have a little, a very little, to io! you. It leads, well really to nothing, an 1 it is painful do you still wish to hear ii':" 'I do!" said Dorothy in a stilled voice. "Yes, of course we do," cried Henrietta, drawing a low e:(sy chair by the tire. Dorothy nestled into the corner of a sofa, which was partially in the shadow, while Standish placed himself on an ottoman at Miss Oakeley 's left. He described the meeting with Ritson, and gave a brief summary of his communication. He mild not well make out what effect the.rnmtive had upon Dorothy, as her face was almost hidden from liiin, but when he came to that part of the story where Ritson said the man be had seen with the ladder was about the same height and size as Egerton, she uttered an inarticulate exclamation and let'. tied forward us if staitled. "How extraordinary!" cried Henrietta Oakeley. "I call this very important; it proves to uie, that the deed must have been done by that dreajfnl, horrid sailor. He certainly was very 1'ke Mr. Egerton. It seems such a shame. How dreadfully ill and worn he looks, poor fellow! I feel qt.ite sorry to see him. Do you know, I feel so convinced it was one of those bloodthirsty monsters who committed the murder, that I hae told Collins to take that wretched parrot aud sell it for what lie likes? Don't you remember, Dorothy, how I exclaimed at the strange likeness to Mr. Egerton? Dorothy, what is the matter, Dorothy? Oh, Mr. Standish, what " Hut Standish was already beside her. Iler head bad fallen back among the cushions, her hands, cold aud deathlike, h'y helplessly at either side. "She Is gone! She has fainted!" cried Standish, iu despairing tones. "For heaven's sake, call Nurse! I do not know what to do for her!" and he began to chafe her hands gently. Henrietta rushed first to the hell, which she rang furiously, and theu to the door, where she called loudly for every servant 1.1 the house, till the room was half full. "Just stand back, every one of yon, and leave the room this minute," cried Mrs. Mcllugh, authoritatively; "all she wants is air and quiet." (To be continued.)

SAND DUNES.

A Description of the Process of Their Formation. Along the shores of oceans and other large bodies of water, especially In the region of the estuaries of Iurge rivers, there are usually Immense musses of shifting sand. It is not within the scope of this article to descrlbo the formation of these sand banks. It Is sufficient to say, therefore, that they usually begin as long sand bars behind which there are sheets of still water. These shallow bays, in the course of time, till up with mud, becoming salt marshes intersected by thoroughfares, salt pomls, aud winding creeks. Iu the meantime, the long, flat sand bars have developed into sea islands, or benches. When the tide falls, the sand of the shore, ground into powder by tho waves and dried by the sun and wind, Is blown In the direction of the prevailing winds, usually Inland. The sand moves like snow, until it meets an obstruction, when a dune, or sandhill, forms, equal iu height to the obstacle. A section through a dune shows a beautiful stratification, the sand having been deposited ill thin layers, always carylng, however, with the nature of the sautl, the velocity of the wind, and the obstructions, large or small, which It encounters. These dunes are uot hurled bodily by the breezes, but little by little, forming and re-forming, forward and backward, clia'igiug, in fact, with every caprice of the wind, gentle and almost Imperceptible during a light sea breeze, but a stinging, blinding sand-blast In times of gale. In spite, however,, of nil these minor changes, the sand mass Is generally moving, perhaps only a feu- Inches a year, in tho direction of the prevailing winds. A great deal depends upon the day winds. In that at night the sand Is damp and firmer. Aud so mountains of sand are formed, which are often held temporarily by hnrdy plants, which have gained 11 precarious footing, but which sooner or later, unless watched and fixed, begin to shift, engulfing meadows, farmlands, lakes, bays.

"And that they may be peopled with beings that hope and struggle as we do? Oh, dltl you ever think of those people?" "No," he answered. "I never thought of them." Turning abruptly so n3 to face him, she exclaimed: "Why not?" Then Senator thought for ft moment ami then answered, coldly: "For tho simple reason, miss, thnt they don't vote in my district."

Tho Idon's Petition. Sultan Muley Abderralimnn, of Morocco, was very fond of wild animals, and had coolness of nerve In dialing with them. He was one day passing through the court of the palace, mounted on a magnificent white charger, when a lion which he had been in the habit of caressing sprang up the sldo of the horse, and placed his paws upon the sultan's knee. The horse, wild' with far, snorted and roared, aud the sultan held him In with a firm hand. Those who saw him, say that he was uot In the least disturbed. He put his bald on the lion's head and stroked it. Then he turned to the chief officer of the court and asked: "How many pounds of nient are given to this Hon dally?" The officer told him tho quantity. "Let the lion have ten more pounds," said his ninjes y, aud the beast, as if an actual petiJon had been granted, withdrew from the horse's side and lay down again, quite pacified. "These animals," said the master of the horse, "understand what is spoken, although they have not the power of speech to tell what they want." "Masballab!" gravely responded another.
