THE SCHEME WORKED

Detroit Free Press.

RED BURGESS was a young fellow of 24, and. after thi fashion of youngsters of that number of years, he was desperately in love. The younr woman who had led him captive was four years his junior pretty, popular. and poof, and

just coquettish enough to keep Freddie on the ragged edge most of the time—a not unusual characteristic of young women under similar conditions. In addition to this, he had an idea that the girl loved or, rather, permitted him to love her, because his father was very rich and promised Fred a handsome sum on his wedding day. To a girl fond of society, as Harriet was. Fred knew that money was an object, and. while he was ready to furnish the money to a wife, he did not wish to furnish the money for a wife—a nice distinction that some men with money sometimes overlook.

Fred's father was a handsome widower of forty-five, and was more elder brothei than father to the boy, and their comradeship and community of interests were the subjects of many pleasantries among their friends. •"How about the girl. Fred?" asked the father one day, as they sat in the library. "Which girl?" smiled Fred. •, The best one, of course." "You mean Harriet?"

Fred's face grew longer. '.'"Well, pop," he said familiarly, "I dbn't know exactly, and I don't like to say what, I think." "Out with it, my bo}'," urged the father "between us we ought to be a match for any woman alive." "I don't want you to be a match for this one," ventured Fred shyly.

Mr. Burgess bowed his acknowledgments. "Permit me to say equal to any woman," he smiled. "Granted," said Fred "and I think we are but you can't 'most always sometimes tell,"

The father indicated some "surprise. "She isn't going to fly the track, is she?" he asked. "No, not that she's going to stay on and make the race, but I'm afraid it's entirely for the purse that's up." "O ho," laughed tbefather "she's making a shy at the shekels, is she?" "No, pop," protested Fred "I wouldn't say that ou!y I'm afraid she might be."

Mr. Burgess became thoughtful and Fred was silent for some time. "Frederick, my chicken," said he, after a while, laying his hand on the young man's shoulder, "I have a scheme, a great scheme," and he tapped his dome of thought with much personal pride. "Where did you get it, papa?" asked Fred banteringly "import it?" "No, my son I manufactured it right here at home," again tapping his forehead. "Now you sit down and let me tell you about it." "Wait till I brace myself in order to stand the shock," said Fred, seating himself deep down in a big easy chair. "Let her go, pop, I'm ready," and pop thereupon proceeded to let her go.

Three months later Mr, Burgess and Fred were in the library of the Burgess mansion once more, Fred having returned only that day from a visit to some friends in England. "Well, father Burgess," he said, with unusual impatience, "how did the scheme work?" "My boy, my boy," groaned Mr. B., lugubriously, "I'm not in it sixty seconds." "Wouldn't it work?" asked Fred, in a disappointed tone. "Let me tell the harrowing tale," and Mr. Burgess fixed himself comfortably. "A month after you left, in my coy •and diffident manner, I asked Miss Harriet one day on the street if I •could walk home with her. She was just too sweet

for

anything"—Fred

•winced—"and said it would charm her beyond expression. Sol walked along with her, talking about you and other young men. Miss Harriet was enraptured to hear what I said of you and of the other young men, and then very demurely said she thought older men were so much nicer. Then I was charmed, and •when we reached her home she invited me to call with such a winning grace that I couldn't resist it, and accepted the invitation in my very best style."

Fred got up and tramped around the library awhile. "Confound the women!" he said. •"Did you go?" "Didn't I go?" responded the father with a semi-whoop. "Well, I should say I did, and until four days ago I didn't give orie of those other youngsters a ghost of a chance, at anything. By the way, Fred," he added, regretfully, "it costs like the mischief to court a girl right, these days, doesn't it? I had no idea it was such, aive.ifpen^iye iuxury."

Fred looked at his father in amaz$ ment. If this thing continued-ho

felt that something disagreeable would happen to him, but he said nothing. "Well," resumed Mr. Burgess, "four days ago, at 8 p. m.. I called "or the dozenth time, and my mind was made up to have that girl in the family, even if I had to prove myself a traitor to do it."

Fred almost forgot himself, but ho exercised all his powers of restraint. "Said 1." continued Mr. Burgess, "after I had beaten around the emotional bush for half an hour: 'Miss Harriet, you have become verj' dear and near to me.' "Yes?"' she smiled, 'I'm so glad.' "'Thank you,' said I, 'and now, without further preliminaries, I want you to be my wiffc.'"

Fred stood up straight and looked down fiercely on his father. "Yes." said that gentleman, as if Fred were enjoying it, "those were the exact words I used on that interesting occasion, and I used others and kept on using them, but she only shook her pretty head. "Just think," said I, coaxing my very best, "how nice-it would be for you to be Fred's stepmother.' "Now, Mr. Burgess,' said she ia response to this argument, and she smiled iu a way that made me want to grab her, 'don't you think it would be ever so much nicer for me to be Fred's wife?'

Fred laughed hysterically and kicked an unoffending ottoman clear over the table. '"No, I don't,'said I tryiog to take her hand. 'Well, I do,' said she. dropping her smile and getting red in the face, 'and that is where we differ to an extent that you, with all your money and good looks and palavering and experience can not hope to change in a million years. If there is anyother relation to your family that I would prefer, above being Freid's wife, it might be to be your stepmother just long enough to give you the spanking you deserve, for trying to persuade me to be disloyal to Fred, while he is absent and can not see what is going on, so he could put a stop to it. Good evening, Mr. Burgess,'and with these unkind remarks to your devoted and loving old father, my dear boy, .your dear Harriet flouted out of the room and left me sitting therfe feeling like an idiot, four stories tall and as big around as a barn.'

Fred jumped up and threw his arms around his father's neck. "Pop. old bov." he exclaimed joyfully. "you're a trump." "Yes, my boy, I know it," sighed Mr. Burgess, "but you've taken the trick, and I'm going to deduct from your wedding present what it cost me to court that girl while you were away, and I wish you would tell her so with my compliments."

CUTTING GOLD C3IN\

A Shrewd Method of Swindling— Arrests Made By Baltimore •. Dctectives,

Baltimore Sun."

Joseph and Etta Foster, who were arrested on the charge of mutilating United States gold coins, have been turned over to the United States authorities. One of the Government's secret service officers said that from fifty to seventy-five cents worth of gold could be obtained from a ten dollar gold piece, and double that amount from a twenty -dollar gold piece by shaving off the reeded edge ot the coin and then re-reeding it. The effect would be to decrease both the diameter and weight of the coin. Coins treated in this manner may be easily detected by the touch when placed in a stack of coins of similar denomination of the right size.

Cutting or sweating gold is accomplished by various methods. A common one is to heat the coin to a certain temperature and then place it between two pieces of bolting cloth and rub it briskly. The metal being Softened by the heat easily rubs off and the particles are caught by the bolting cloth. Another method is to place quantities of coin in a canvas bag and shake thfcm together until a sufficient quantity has been rubbed off. Still another, which is practiced only on a large scale, owing to the expense, is to place the coins in an acid bath. The acid eats the gold away from the coin in a uniform manner, leaving the impressions of the die as clear as when the coin left the mint. It is only possible to detect the difference in the value of the coin by weighing it. It is estimated that from one-twentieth to one-tenth of the weight of the coin can be removed by this method. The gold is afterward collected by means of electricity.

A RAILROADER'S STORY.

Now York Sun.

"It was in the spring of '92 and I was in Pennsylvania, half on business and half for pleasure, for there was a peculiar rocky formation that I wanted to look up down there. I had walked out to the place of my geological ^research, which was near East Concord, and had pretty near tired myself out walking and climbing when a (reight train came slowly along.' At that time I knew every engineer on that division, and this engineer, whose name was Wind, slowed up and took me aboard. That's where I put my foot in it. If I'd only be content to go back on my feet I wouldn't be wearing my hair low on the right of mv forehead."

The speaker paused to lift an iron gray'lock of hair from his forehead, showing along scar. "That's where I lighted after more flipflaps than would take a circus peformer over two dozen elephants," he continued. "Somewhere up at the end of the Cattaragus viaduct, you can find the timber that made the hoh:. But that doesn't tell you the story. There's a steep grade there and the train was hard to control. We hadn't fairly got started down that grade when Wind, looking a little grave, turned to me and said: 'There's something the matter with the air brakes. They're not working.' "'Well, ybur engine will hold the train in oheck, all righti won't it?'I asked. "The enginper glanced back over the train, then turned and looked ahead we were rattling out at a pretty lively pace now and it was getting livelier every minute. The old locomotive was daucing a ,]ig. Wind put his haud on the throttle. His fireman was scared. 'She'll hold it in check,' he said slowly but loudly, for the engine was noisy. 'Yes she's got to hold the train, or he broke off. 'Cattaraugus viaduct is very far ahead,' he added coolly. "This struck me unpleasantly. Just between us and the viaduct was a sharp curve on a very nast}r embankment, and if we struck it at that speed—well, I didn't like to think of that 'if.' But I was -.thinking of it very "hard in spite of myself when Wind spoke again. 'We've got to slow up before we get to that embankment,' he shouted, the words rattling from his, mouth as the cab shook and quivered. 'There's only one thing I'm afraid of. If we can Ah!' "For a minute I didn't understand just what had happened. All that I knew was that old 109, the locomotive, had bounded ahead like a live thing, and was running away from the rest of the train. I turned to

Wind. His face was all pinched up, and bis eyes looked like gimlet holes. Leaning over tome he bawled in my ear: 'That's what I was afraid of. Coupling pin jogged out. Bad business.' 'What are yOu going to do?" I called back. "'Only one chance,'he answered in the same tone. 'Got to save the train. Got to catch her on the fly and hold her, or it's a case of smashof the worst kind, and there's men in the caboose. Jim.' he added, turning to his fireman, 'it's going to be a bad business, and a turn of a hand will finish it the wrong wav. You can't do ahy good. If you see a chance, jump. You'd best jump, too,' he added to me. 'There's \yater down here a bit further and you'il come out easy.' "Well, I didn't want to jump, and I didn't really see why I should at first. But when the engineer began to slow up a little and 1 looked back at the pursuing train, then I saw plenty of reason. Unless I get in the road of an avalanche some time, I never expect to see anything look so big as that train did. It came thundering down on us like a tremendous living, destructive being, and mv heart took up so much of my throat that I couldn't swallow. Even at that time I remember noticing my companion. Jim's eves were fairly popping out of his head, and he clung to the casing of the cab as if he purposed to take it into eternity with him. But Wind was enough to give a man new courage. The pinched look had gone out of his face, and his expression was steadfast and composed. His eyes wide and steady, were fixed on the plunging monster hehind and the hand that grasped the throttle was instinct with nervous force and readiness. There was only fifty yards between us and the cars now, and it was rapidly decreasing. Nearer and nearer it came, until it seemed as if it must leap and hurl us from the track. We were on a small embankment now. I caught a glint of water below, and wondered vaguely if one's body could be recovered there. Then something flashed past me, there was a .veil—and there were only two of us in the cab. Old 109 at the same instant leaped forward out of danger. But two wrinkles appeared on Wind's forehead. "Let her out too quick," he shouted. 'Jim jumped and shook me up. We'll have to try her again, Hope Jim struck the water.' "When heard that we were going to get in the way of that mountain slide .again, I felt like a man who has been invited Jo catch a cannon ball in his teeth- I wanted to jump if I'd only dared, but there was no water betowliow only hard ground. Moreover, I was wasting time in thinking out chances that might be my last moments for prayer and re­

pentance, and that train was coming down On us again. This t|me I a a heap. As nearly as I canj n»inQm ber I huddled up, with t'fie ideaa that I would prefer to be fouud piece after the crash, rather

For five days I lay and watched ponderous trains, millions'of miles iu length, thundering down illimitable slopes, at incomprehensible speed' in pursuit of a pigmy man, myself, in an insignificant locomotive. Then I recovered conscious i? ess and shook the left hand of Engineer Wind, his right being in a sling. He had hung to his throttle and been hurled heels over head against the boiler and pretty badly battered up, but he had slowed up the train so that it made the viaduct curve successfully. As for me, I had brought up against a timber head foremost, but got off easy, with no other injuries than my scalp wound and a slight concussion of the brain, But it left me one heritage. When I have nightmare now it's always the same nightmare, and an overdose of Welsh rabbit is certain to bringdown that avalanche of cars on my devoted head."

The speaker raised his glass,newly filled, took a thoughtful sip aud set it down to answer a question asked by one of the others. "The fireman? Did he get out alive?" "Oh, yes. He struck the water all right. Wasn't even bruised just reddened up a bit on theskin. Found out it was good fishing there, went back the next week and caught some pickerel and has^been going there ever since. Cool hand that Jimafter he got out of the engine."

His Cow Comes High.

C&icag-o R33ord.

Thfere is a man in Chicago who pays $18,000 a year for the privilege of keeping a cow.

He is a sane man, a business man, a nan of family, and generally respected in the community. His poor relatives,declare him a freak and his neighbors shrug their shoulders and murmur things about rich men's whims.

The way of it is that he possesses a valuable building lot in a choice residence portion of the city, and, having nothing else to do with it, he put a nice little fence around it and quartered therein his pet Jerseycow. The cow was an artistic cow and harmonized well with the green turf and lila". bushes, so people rather admired the arrangement. One day a man came along who thought he would like to build a house on that particular lot, so he hunted up the owner and made hirn a spot cash offer of $300,000 for the land. His offer was refused, decisively and po litely. "But," remonstrated a relative, aghast, "that would pay you $18,000 a year! Why on earth did vou refuse it?"

The rich man lit a cigar and turned a protesting face on his accuser. "Yes," he assented in a puzzled way, "but what would I have done with my cow?"

He Knew Boys.

Detroit Frefe Press. yp%

The boy had applied for a job. "We don't,like lazv boys around here," said the boss "are you fond of work?" "No, sir," responded the bov, looking the boss squarely in the face, "Oh, vour'e not, ain't you? Well, we want a boy that is." "They ain't any," said the. boy, doggedly. "Oh, yes, there are we have had a half a dozen of that kind here this morning to take the place we have." "How do you know they are?" asked the boy. "They told me so." "So could I if I was like them but I'm different I ain't a liar," and the boy said it with such an air of convincing energy that he got the place.

It rarely happens that two breeds of chickens or turkeys can be kept on a farm without getting mixed.

disintegrated sections. Any- way, I didn't open my eyes until I felt a sharp jar, and then that ligkvenly spring and bound out of danger again. The train had touched us, but so quick and ready w.as the engineer's pull of the throttle that he had brought us a ways again—and a send, the fractional part of a second too soon. His face was red with anger when I opened my eyes again and looked around me. 'Too quick again, by God!" hp shouted hoarsely.-'It's now or never this time. I'll, stop her pow or we'll be in the ditch.' "It was now or never without doubt, for we could see the curve ahead, and not far ahead at the sixty mile clip we were going. Wind slowed up sharp, and I shall never forget my feelings as the cars bore down on us. This time'I couldn't shut my eyes. The fascination of imminent death held them on the thundering mass behind. 'Brace yourself and hang on,' shouted Wind, as he felt for a brace with his feet and gripped the throttle so tight that the muscles stood out on his arms like cords. '"Shall I jump?' I called to htm, but the words choked me as they came. He didn't hear them. The next instant he sprang to his feet, threw the throttle -wide open, and suddenly went up in the air and, turned over toward the boiler as the bump came. That, was all I saw. I heard a terrific crash, and felt myself whirled out of the cab.. and through the air. The whole universe whirled about me and then closed in, and I struck. Mjr teeth gritted out sharp, bright flames that flashed back and forth through my head. Then came blackness.

The reeks, when they first visited Spain, made their anchors and common utensils of silver. The' white metal lost its value. But this could not last long, for the richest silver mines at last grew unproductive, and in the seventh century B. C. the metal had once more risen to a higher price. It could once agaiu compete with gold, at least at a distance.. The first form of money was in statfiped bars or ingots, with tho weight certified by an official seal. The earliest known ingots werie of gold. But about 700 B. C. Mr. Head, tells us money was first coined, and in the British Museum may be seen a Babylonian stater of electrum, a mingling of gold and silver, apparently the oldest coin in existence. Silver was for a time the common currency of the Greeks, but at last they adopted a gold standard. The fine gold pieces of Philip and Alexander have become the models of all later coinage.

At Rome the earliest money was of bronze then silver came in as the standard and when it grew too abundant, the Roman emperors borrowed the gold coinage of the East. The Roman solidus was worth, in gold, a sovereign or a half eagle. But nowhere did silver money fluctuate more widely than at Rome in the Hannibalic wars the currencv was constantly debased: in moments of danger money was hoarded. But the. victories of Caesar and his general nobbery made it so plentiful at Rome, that Jand doubled or trebled in price and money sank in value. Under Augustus, "in the quiet of peace, it is probable that silver was worth about one-tenth its weight in gold. With the decay of the empire a debased currency filled the world with disaster, and aided in the general destruction of commerce and the arts.

Silver in the Middle Ages rose in value with rarity, and was at times almc«3t ^n an equality with gold. In Richara the First's time in England four shillings would buy a cow, a bull, or a horse for ploughing, and tenpence a sheep with fine wool. Yet again, with the conquest of Mexico and Peru, money fell, prices of abor and land increased but the rapid growth of trade and commence at the same period revived the demand for an honesu currency. Silver and gold moved on together, and kept up a certain ratio to each other that was never greatly disturbed. It is only recently that the immeuse yield of our Western mines has nearly equalled that of ancient Spain when silver sank into discredit. But it will no doubt soon revive again. It cannot take the place of gold in the opinion of mankind—the source of value. But it will always hold a subsidiary position that no other metal can fill.
