In shape they resemble a horseshoe with the two extremities flattened out like a camel's foot. Being made of solid copper, three-eighths of an inch thick, they weigh over eight ounces each. In "face value" seven of these queer coins are equivalent to one quarter, so that a dollar's worth would be an uncomfortable, heavy load. Not only are these "manillas" used among the natives, but white traders accept them as legal tender for goods sold at the variDus stores. At one time the strangely shaped money had quite a circulation In certain parts of the coast, but its use is now restricted to a few bush towns and one or two of the smaller seaboard places, including Bonny, Brass and Akassa. "Manillas" are now very difficult to obtain, and curio collectors value them not solely by reason of their scarcity, but because of the novel serviette rings they make when silver plated.

ROLFE'S SITUATION By ROBIN WINSTANLEY. vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvVayayi A rustic bridge with a frail railing, a charming young lady resting upon it, a creak, a splash and Minna Graves uttered a shriek and sank beneath the surface of tue brook. A lithe, carelessly-dressed figure, that of a young man coming up the bridge approach, a shout of interest and alarm and as he plunged boldly into the swirling current, Minna came up choked, blinded and frantic. "Don't struggle," spoke gentle but resolute tones in her ear, so confidence-inspiring that Minna obeyed orders and came ashore dripping, flushing at the ridiculous figure she made. Her rescuer warded off her expressions of fervent gratitude with a light laugh over their mutual predicament, and she grew coherent enough to indicate that a park-like place in the near distance was her home. Rolfe Ditson conducted her to its open gateway, solicitously made sure that she was able to get to the house unaided, derided the idea that he might catch cold from his wet garments and went his way after an invitation to call and meet her people. Rolfe Ditson swung on his way with brightened eye, for he worshiped beauty and goodness. As to Minna, she could not get that strong intellectual face out of her mind readily. His first call led to a second. These two were fast approaching a state of mutual love. Minna saw in him a handsome, wellbred gentleman. Her father and mother rather liked his direct, yet unobstrusive ways. Not so Harold Graves. This son and brother had a chum he had tried to thrust upon the attentions of Minna. FHs sister disliked him intensely. When Reife appeared upon the scene the rejected suitor scented a rival. Thenceforward He Seemed to Be One of the Grizzled Rough Crew. the two chums aimed to dislodge and discredit Rolfe, if possible. "I'm on a still hunt." Harold Graves told his crony one day. "Ditson is mighty mysterious and secretive. He lives at the next town hotel, he says, but he does not appear there more than once a week. He disappears regularly, I'm shadowing him, I'll have some news soon that will oust the fellow, trust me." And, sure enough, one afternoon in a great state of excitement young Graves sought his sister in the garden. She 'vas seated in a hammock, dreaming tenderly of the absent Rolfe. She was trustful and proud of his attentions, and although he had been very reservpd as to his business in the town and its vicinity, she felt that he had 6ome good reason for that policy. I've found out!" proclaimed Harold in a tone of exultation. "Found out what?" inquired Minna. "About Ditson. I never liked his evasive ways. Neither did my chum. Humph: 1 fancy after this you'll value tFied and true frionds like l im. instead of picking up with a UBUggler." "A smuggler?'' repeated Minna, VSLgUely. " That's just what Ditson is. A regular member of the Black Ribbon gang, down at Bottle Point." For a moment Minna's face whitened, then confidence and loyalty came back into her eyes. "Xonser.se!" she said simply. "Is it?" retorted Harold, viciously. "Y show you. I'll have him arrested the next time he sets his foot on these grounds." "You dare!" flared up his sister. "Do you think I would believe such a thing as you intimate against a true gentleman who saved my life, and who has the confidence and respect of our father a$d mother? You have never liked Mr. Ditson, and this is some plot of yours, because of your preference for that chum of yours." "It's true. Just the same." persisted Harold, angrily. "I tracked him down. I saw him meet a regular rt ugh crew of the fellows who are making the revenue service people so much trouble, smuggling goods orer here across the Canadian border. He acted cheek by jowl with them. Wmmt off with them in their boat. I've told the revenue people about it. They're toiug off after the gang tomorrow."
"You will have to prove more than you tell before you make me believe that Mr. Ditson is anything but a true, honorable gentleman," said Minna, stubbornly. "All right. Wait a day or two and see!" vaunted Harold. Minna tried to be steadfast in her faith in young Ditson, but the Intelligence she had received made hr uneasy. Perhaps there was some dark plot against Ditson, she reflected. Her brother and his chum, she felt assured, were equal to that. She wrote a brief note to Rolfe, addressed to his hotel in the next town, warning him that enemies were seeking to get him into trouble. Rolfe did not get the note for he was awaywith the smugglers, in truth and verity! If Minna could have seen him the next evening shortly after dark at a cave on the lake that was a headquarters for the smugglers, she would have shuddered. He seemed to be one of the grizzled rough looking crew who were awaiting the arrival of a skiff carrying contraband goods from the Canadian shore. Rolfe sat on an upturned keg just within the cave, when he was intensely startled. One of the band came into view, forcing before him a prisoner. "I found him spying on us," the smuggler explained. "In his pocket I found a note snowing that he has put the revenue officers on to our den here." Settle him!" hoarsely commanded the leader of the crowd. "Here, you" to the captor and to Rolfe "take him over beyoni the rocks yonder and settle him." "Her brother!" breathed Rolfe, us he recognized Harold Graves. Harold was the worse for a severe struggle and did not notice Rolfe, who with his captor started to obey the orders of the smuggler chief. "This will do," said Rolfe's smuggler companion, as they got out of sight of the cave. "Join in, mate, and help finish him." and he drew his revolver. "Run for your life!" whispered Rolfe quickly in the ear of the startled Harold Graves. In that flashing second the latter recognized Rolfe. He uttered a cry of profound amazement, but was quick to avail himself of the offered opportunity for escape. He saw Rolfe strike the leveled weapon from the hand of the smuggler. He saw the latter grapple with Rolfe. There were loud cries for help, and Rolfe, denounced as a traitor to the band, was borne by some of its members back to the cave. It was an excited, pitiful story that Harold told to his sister when he reached home. Even to his crude mind the indication was irresistible that Rolfe could not be one of the smugglers in reality, and oppose their counsels at the forfeic of his life. "He saved me. that's all I know, and I'm sorry for him," said the subdued Haroid. "And your work has brought him to his doom!" sobbed his sister, bitterly. Then rame news that the revenue officers whom Harold had led to the den of the smugglers, but had got separated from, had made an onslaught in time to save Rolfe from the vengeance of the band. All had been captured. With a great cry, the next morning Minna sprang from the porch to greet a brisk, smiling visitor, Rolfe Ditson. Soon he explained to her the complete situation. "I was employed as a government agent to get at the inside affairs of the smugglers," Rolfe told Minna. "The action of the revenue officers has finished my work. I have come to say good-by, for I must return to Washington." "But you will come back, some time?" faltered Minna. "Is that your wish?" asked Rolfe, quickly. Her two trembling hands, resting in his own. made answer, and when Rolfe Ditson left her, Minna Graves was his promised wife. (Copyright. 1914. by W. O. Chapman.) Italians Are Vegetarians. Being newcomers the Italians are doing the heavy, unskilled work which was once the prerogative of the Irish. The shovel is now as firmly associated in our minds with Tonio as formerly with Barney. The northern Italians go much into mine and quarry and silk mill, but the others stick close to railroad, street and construction work. Of our railroads it has been said that "Italians build them. Irish run them and Jews own them." Nearer tp the truth, perhaps, is the New York mot. "Houses nowadays are built by Italians, owned by Jews and paid for by Irish tenants." Being small and vegetarian, the Italians are not preferred in earthwork for their physical strength, but because of their endur ance of heat, cold, wet and muck. As one contractor put it, "They can stand the gaff." The Century.
Reported Loss of His Arm. While walking along the railrosd track in the Mill C-eek yard, Jobs Wise of Port Carbon. Pa., fourteen years, was jostled by a man unknown to him and he fell upon the track just as a trip of Cars came which ran over ttim, severing his right arm above the elbow. Wise walked to the dispatcher's office, several hundred yards distant, and coolly told the men in the office he had lost h!s arm, which they might find on the tracks. He was hurried to the office of a physician where he was given flr3t aid and brought to the Pittsvfflt hospital. The severed arm was found as he had stated.
