At k two very rough and sus- picious looking men came aboard, and after scanning every one on the train, they seated themselves behind the wo- ma} and engayed in conversation with her. At the same place I received a message from Janesville signed by the agent, which read : ‘The bill I changed for you is a counterfeit.’ Calling Abe into the smoking car I told him my suspicions. : ; ‘ Abe,’ said I, ‘ read that,’ giving him one of the bills which [had put in my pocket. ‘By the ——.,’ he exclaimed, that she-devil |’ ‘T think so myself’ I answered. ‘Now then, Abe, we’ve got to capture her and the men.’ 5 ‘Rive hundred apiece,’ said he, amus- ‘[t’s ingly. | I prepared the following dispatch which I sent at the next station ; ‘ Pinkerton’s Detective Agency, Chi- eago, Ill. Have you a description of the woman, chief of the gang of coun- terfeiters for whom $1,000 reward is offered? If so send it at once to L R——. conductor No. 4—— RR., at B——.’ T he message traversed the small wire with lightning speed, and back the answer came which-I received at B—. ‘Rather large, fiery nature, gray hair, and generally dresses in black.’ Beyond a doubt it was the woman om board, The two men were probably her accomplices. She had some of the ‘queer’ in her possession, for she had passed a bogus tifty on me. Conviction. would be in- sured without a doubt. Ellsbank was less than sixty miles distant. She and her accomplices would leave the train at that point, and they must bo secur- ed before arriving there. I telegraphed to D , twenty miles this side of Ellsbank, for two officers to get on the train, and to be prepared to deal with desperate characters. I met them on the depot platform and direc- tod them where to station themselves. They were dressed in plain clothes. ‘We undoubtedly shall havea severe tussle if we attack them all together,’ said one of the officers; ‘if we can manage to separate them it will be easy enough.’ ‘[’ll manage that,’ said Abe. Ap- proaching the trio he said : ‘Which one of you gentlemen got on at C—?’ ‘Why?’ asked one of the men. ‘ Because there’sa package which was put into the baggage car for one of you at U——; if you want it you'd better go ahead and get it.’ ‘Ill go and see what it is,’ said one of the men to his companion, and moved toward the baggage car. ‘ Now is our time,’ said Abe,‘ one of you follow him into the car and secure him.’ ‘he man opened the door and enter- ed the car, closely followed by Abe and one of the officers. : ‘Where's the box ? asked the fellow, ‘Never mind!’ exclaimed the officer, throwing himself upon the min, and as- sisted by Abe he was speedily secured. ‘Now for the other one,’ said Abe, and going back into the coach he told the other man that his partner wanted hima. Withouta suspicion of anything wrong he fell into the trap and was secured as nicely as we could wish. The worst was yet to be. lf that old woman dosen’t make us smart L’ma sinner,’ said Abe. One of the officers going into the ear took the seat made vacant by the men, aud when the other officer came down the aisle, at a preconcerted signal threw his arms around her. The other one put the bracelets on her and she Wis fast. . _t handed my prisoner over to the Chief of Police of Ellsbank. They provs ei to be what I supposed they were, members of a gang of counterfeiters, of whom. the women was chief. One of the men turned State’s evidence, and the information he gave led to the cap- ture of the entire gang, who might even to this day, have been practicing their nefarious art had it not been for the woman’s greedinessof gold, which led to her to make the fuss she did when I attempted to collect her fare, and - en of e.

VISITOR : ; The Lord Bishop of Nova Scotia PRINCIPAL: The Rey, John Padfieid. TYNHIS SCHOOL offers, at very moderate cost. the advantages of a comfortable and pleasant home together with a thorough and refined education. The course of Instruction is the same as that of the best Schools in England and is founded upon the University Examinations for Women. Eight young ladies from this School passed the Local Examination of the University of King’s College in June last. This is the only School in Canada that has passed pupils at a University Examination. =} ~The number of pupils is limited, rendering the School select, and while it possesses all the educational advantages of % large public school, each pupil is enabled to receive that individual care and oversight which 1s so important, and which cannot be given ina large establish- ment. Mr. and Mrs. Padfield are assisted by a staff of four resident governesses, besides visit- ing masters. 5 Parisienne French is taught conversation- ally. There are two resident French Gov- ernesses.

Hear what a Reverend Gentleman says of the Constitutional Ren.edy. T. J. B. Harprxe, Esq., Brockville, Ont.:— Dear Srr—It is now two years since your *‘Censtitutional Catawh Remedy’ was intro- duced tome. Ihave 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 be 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, I would feel like smothering and be compelled to sit upin 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 sufferers from that 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, Port Kigin, Ont., Aug. 24, 1878. Ask for Littlefield’s Constitutional Catarrh Remedy and take no other. T. J. B.
