Mr. Porter’s judgment was vindicated. “Ah, ha,” he exclaimed triumphantly, “do you remember that little magnifying glass I gave a dollar for the other day? You said it was a clear waste of money.

Those bills are so well executed that even the experts can hardly tell them from the genuine, but my little magnifying glass brought out all its defects.”
