THE WOMAN CHIEF.

———————

Continued.

At Janosviile I had the bill changed, taking seven dollars and thirty-five cents for her fare, I gave her the balance, which was forty-two doll- lars and sixty-five cents, not waiting for her to count it, as I should have done. Upon coming by her about twenty minutes later, she stopped me and said °

‘T gave you a $50 bill ?°

‘Yes, madam.’

‘The fare was seven thirty five cents,’ said she. .

‘ Seven thirty-five,’ I answered.

‘That would leave $42.65, wouldn’! it?’ she asked.

‘Yes, madam, it would,’ I replied, wondering what she was coming at.

‘Well, youdidn’t give me but twenty- two dollars,’ said she.

‘You have made a mistake in count- ing, madam,’ 1 answered. ‘ l gave you the full amount, I amfpositive ofjit.

‘But I say you didn't.’

‘You are misiaken,’ I said.

‘Lam, eh! Yoware goirg to try and beat me out of over twenty dollars, but you can’t do it ; no ae

‘Tam not beating or trying to beat you out ofa cent,’ l answered. |

Her wrath was rapidly rising, and not wishing to have a scene, I left the car.

[ informed Abe of the new game she was trying to play, when he gave ut-

terance as follows: ‘If you let that old she devil beat

you, you're not halfas smart as [ think you be. She is playing some deep game, she is. I thought it funny when she so quietly paid her fare after mak- ing so much fuss. Just like as net the bill was counterfeit.’

Abe was right.

She was playing a deep game, and perhaps the bill was counterfeit, but 1 had got rid of it, left it with the agent at Janesville.

At A—— the telegraph operator handed me a bundle of bille, which had been left with him, asking me to give them to the agent at C , With the request to have them posted up con- spicuously.

Such transactions were common, and I did not ask the nature of them. They were tied around with a small string.

After we left A—— I gave the bills to the baggageman on the train, telling him to leave them at C with his report, for I feared 1 might forget to deliver them.

About two hours after I wanted a piece of string, but could not find any on the train. Generaly there was quite a large amount in the lamp-box, but not a single piece now. I discovered the bills (which were handed me at A ) upon the rack in the baggage car, and unwound the string from them and placed them back.

Going into the car sometime after, I found they had fallen on the floor. Picking them up I noticed the heading which read :

‘ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS REWARD.’

The rest of the bill was as follows:

‘he above reward will be paid for the arrest and conviction of the coun- terfeiters, who are now operating in this partof the country. The head or chief of the gang is 8 woman.

Signed— Allen Pinkerton, Chief of Pinkerton’s Detective Bureau, Chicago, Ill.’ :

I read the latter sentenee of the bill several times. ‘The head or chief of the yang was a woman.’

1 put the bills up and they and their contents soon passed outof my mind. On leaving home that morning, my wife had sail:

‘Remember, Leonard that the mort- gago falls due in two weeks; if we can only discharge it and have our home clear, how happy I shall be.’

Her words recurred to me now. In two weeks, if not paid what then? It must be. But how?

The mortgage was eight hundred dollars and 1 had only six, which by dint of economy I had saved. My ro- zee were interrupted by arriving at

On passing through the car in which the woman was, she stopped me and asked if I would send a dispatch for her.

‘Certainly, but you might ’think I would charge you more than the cost of sending, I said sharply.

‘] was mistaken about the change,’ she replied, in an apologetic tone.

‘What do you wish to send?’ I asked.

‘Hlere it is; 1 wrote it out before I got aboard,’ and she handed me a slip of paper.

Concluded in our next.

Constitutional © Catarrh Remedy CURES CATARRH.

a Reverend Gentleman says of the Constitutional Remn.edy.

Hear what

T. J. B. Harpine, Esq., Brockville, “Ont. :—

DeaR Srr—It is now two years since your ‘‘Censtitutional Catarrh Remedy’ was intro- duced to me. I have waited this ong to see if the cure would remain permanent before do- ing this, my duty, to you, as at first the happy effects seemed to me to be ‘“‘too good to he true.”

I was afflicted in my head for years before I suspected it to be Catarrh. In reading in your Circular I saw my case described in many par ticulars. The inward “drop” from the head had become very disagreeable, and a choking sensation often preventing me from lying long, [ would feel like smothering and be compelled to sit up in the bed. My health and spirits were seriously affected. When your agent came to Walkertown in August, 1876, I secured three bottles. Before I had used a quarter of the contents of one bottle I found decided re- lief, and when I had used two bottles and a third. I quit taking it, feeling quite cured of that ailment, and have not used any since until of late I have taken some for a cold in my head,

A sense of duty to suilerers from tat loath- some disease, Catarrh, prompts me to send you this Certificate, unsolicited, with leave to make what use of it yon may see proper Yours.truly,

W. TINDALL, Methodist Minister.
