The Counterfeiter’s Cryptogram
.... —-' 1 ... .-.. . ■ ....■■■"I
SECRET SERVICE officers
recently tracked down a gang
of counterfeiters and in a raid
upon their den surprised the
criminals at their work. The
members of the gang, however,
managed to elude the officers,
but they had to leave behind all
their paraphernalia, which was
seized by the Secret Service men.
There was very little evidence as
to the identity of the lawbreakers.
After a thorough search of the
premises, however, the officers
found a partly burned letter
which gave a valuable clue to the
names of the various places where
the gang had planned to circulate
the bogus money and the amount
of such money that had been sent
to their agent there. These m^n
were finally located, as well as
all the members of the pang. All
the lawbreakers received long
terms in the penitentiary.
The letter, of course, was writ
ten in cipher, but any one can
turn amateur detective and try
to decode the writing and thus
solve the mystery, as did the Sec
ret Service officials. The message
follows:

for half a dozen or more people.
The games are then complex
enough to need plenty of atten
tion, and there is enough for
several pairs of hands and eyes
to do. There is very little con
fusion, just enough to make it
exciting, and for a half hour it
is a welcome way to amuse a
handful of people who have come
in aimlessly during the evening.
The ideal party game is one
which calls for all your guests,
yet there should be some way
provided to amuse the minority
dissenting from the majority
vote, should such a defection
arise. It is much better to have
games that all join in to play,
but there are bound to be times
at the best of parties, when two
or three people, because of a

moodiness after being crossed in
