got his change back.

*F»lii Held Fifteen Minutes by Gtfman Ofllcial tn Paying It. For care and trouble taken to return change, I have never heard of anything that equaled an experience of mine on the railroad between Metz and Paris,” said a man the other day, according to the New York Sun. “I had been studying the battle fields about Metz, and when I decided to go back to Paris I converted most of the money I had left into francs. It was a hot day In August and the second class compartments were so crowded that I decided as we stopped at a town near the French border to change to a first class coach. There was a supplement to pay, and the only German money I had was In 20-mark pieces. "The official who made the transfer did not have the proper change, aind while I was waiting for him to come back with the 12 marks and some pfennigs that belonged to me the train moved off, and I gave my money up for gone. “About 11 o'clock that night the train stopped at a town about halfway to Paris. There was only one other occupant of my compartment, a man who had got on at some station In France. “Soon after we stopped the door of the compartment was opened and a man Inquired which of us had given a 20-mark piece to be changed at the station In Germany. I replied that I was the individual. “Come with me, monsieur,” he said, so I alighted and followed him Into the station office. “There I found that my change had been telegraphed on and he had the sum due me already counted out. There were a lot of receipts and things to sign and the train was held up almost fifteen minutes on my account, but I got my money and a lot of satisfaction.”
