THE FATE OF THE FORGERS.
On Tuesday morning, March 7, 1775,
Mr. Itobert Perreuu walked Into the
| banking house of Drummond Brothers,
at Charing Cross. lie was greeted
I cordially by the bankers, for Mr. Per-
reuu, although merely an apothecary,
' was a Napoleon among apothecaries,
! and was a welcome guest at the houses
of the great. Within a week the bonk*
! «-rs had seen him at Lord Eginont's
j and Lady Lyttleton's. On the occasion
Mr. Perreau was full of business.
| Producing as security a bond for
$? 7,000, signed by William Adair,
! whose signature would be honored at
any banking house, he asked for the
I loan of $25,000.
The banking brothers scrutinized the
! document closely, and Henry Drum-
mond said: "It doesn't look like the
signature of Mr. Adair."
"It Isn't the signature of William
Adair," agreed Robert Drummond. "I
have seen his signature a hundred
times and know It us well as my own."
"There Is no doubt about It," said he.
"It is witnessed by Arthur Jones, his
solicitor, and by Thomas Stark, his
servant."
"It Is an easy matter to settle," said
Ilenry Drummond. "Let us go and see
Mr. Adair. He Is In town now."
a goat, thoy w# nt to Kowstreet and
laid information against "the female
forger." This cowardly uttempt to pro-
tect themselves at the expense of the
woman who had risked everything to
save them, deprived them of public
sympathy in the time to come, when
they needed it most. The Judges took
the measure of Robert Perreau, aud
sent him ns well as the woman to
prison. The next day Daniel Perreau
followed them. This Daniel was a
great fop, who cut a wide swath among
the macaronis. He and Robert were
twins, and greatly resembled each oth-
er In appearance, but Robert was a
keen business man, u money maker,
while Daniel wns a wastrel. Roth
brothers were speculating in Exchange
ulley, aud it was this that led them to
forgery.
The story of what followed In the
courts Is too complicated to be de-
tailed In a brief narrative. Mrs. Rudd,
who had been the ally of the brothers,
was Infuriated by their treachery, and
became their bitterest enemy. She tes-
tified that she did sign the bond, as she
had con^gssed, but did it in fear of her
life, Daniel standing over her with an
open knife until it was done. She had
committed other forgeries under simi-
lar conditions. These other forgeries
began to turn up, and they totaled an
enormous sum.
The public Interest In the Per real
case was so great for a year that even
the rebellion of the American colonies
attracted comparatively little atten-
tion. The newspapers were full of the
case, and every man who could charter
a printing press was busy Issuing
broadsides. A certain Admiral Frank-
land, known as "Old Shlver-Me-Tlm-
bers," used up gallons of iirk assailing
Mrs. Rudd, and thereby created sym-
pathy for her, which was the very
thing he didn't want to do. And Mrs.
Rudd had her champions among the
great writers of the time.
In the course of time the Perreau
brothers were brought to trial, and
their guilt was so evident to the jury,
when all the testimony was In, that
they were convicted without the waste
of a moment, and sentenced to death,
Many people believed then, an-1 many
argue even at this late day. that the
brothers were the dupes of the design-
ing Mrs. Rudd, but this theory didn't
appeal to the court.
Being convicted and sentenced, the
Perreaus were sent back to jail to
await the outcome of the trial of Mrs.
Rudd. The fact that she was brought
to trial at all was the occasion of much

lined with black velvet. On each side
there is a small storage battery con
nected with a toy dynamo In the hot- 1
tom of the machine, while other wires connect with switches a small red elec
trie light and an automobile gauge. The dupo who Is anxious to purchase a
machine t< make money easily is shown the contrivance and then asked which
he would like to see made, $1, $2 or $."> bills? He makes his choice, and then,
while a confederate diverts his attention for a minute, a new $t is placed In a
compartment In the cover ami hidden by a piece of tin covered with velvet to |
match that In the machine, and held In place by springs.
The operator, who has noted the number of the bill, then informs thu
victim that he has made $1 bills up to a certain number, Unit which he an
nounees being one figure under that of the concealed bill. Then he takes a
piece of paper of the exact size of a bill and puts It in a developing tray. Into
which he pours what are supposed to be chemicals. The liquids, no doubt, are j
colored water, though the names on the bottles never would appear in a labor-
atory. When the paper has been thoroughly soaked It Is wrapped In tissue
paper to deaden the sound which might be made by the falling false bottom, j
put In the machine, the cover put In place and the machinery started. The
hand on the gauge moves, tin- machinery buzzes, and after the various switches
have been used to heighten the effect the red light Is made to burn, showing
that the new money has been made. Then the springs In the cover are touched,
and as It Is lifted off the soaked paper has disappeared and nothing but the
brand new $1 bill with the proper number upon It is to be seen.
St. Joseph Man Tells the Time by Family Face
r 'V. JOSF'PII, MO.—The flight of the hours Is marked on the dial of <\ W.
•J Humbert's watch by the fnces of his ten children and by his own face and
lue face of his wife. Tiny photographs are set in the dial In place of the
Roman numerals. Every time Mr.
Humherd—who is n grading contrac-
tor of St. Joseph—bmks at the time he
sees his whole family.
He Is one o'clock and his wife Is
two. The children are arranged In
the order of their birth, beginning at
three o'clock with Carl, who Is thirty-
four. ami continuing through Calvin,
Albert, Bertha, Glen, (leorge, Eva,
Robert, Vernon and little twelve
o'c)ock Edith, who Is three and the
youngest of the family. The watch
was made especially for Mr. Humberd several years ago, and he Is so used to
It that he can tell the exact time at a glance. He nrlses at Albert o'clock In the
morning, has luncheon at half past Edith and Is usually home by Bertha.
If he refers to the watch a score of times throughout the day he Is re-
minded each time of his loved ones and there Is little chance that he will ever
forget his family in the rush of business. The Idea of putting the family In the
watch occurred to him ns a sentimental novelty, unlike anything he had ever
heard of. Ills work as a grading contractor carries him out of town fre-
quently, but he reports he is not so lonely as he used to be since he feels that
he can take a glimpse at his youngsters any time he cares to without attract-
ing outside atteutiou.

If Perreou's heart sank Into his boots
at this proposition he made no sign.
He seem ad quite willing, and an-
nounced that his coach was at the door.
So he 11 nd the Drummond brothers
climbed aboard and drove to the resi-
dence of Adair, the rich army agent.
Arrived there, the Drummonds explain-
ed the business to Adair, who de-
nounced the bond ns n forgery the min-
ute he set eyes upon it.
The Drummonds turned to Perreau
nnd sternly asked him how he came
Into possession of the bond. By this
time the apothecary was uneasy, and a
cold sweat was on his forehead. "Send
for my sister-in-law," he stammered,
"and she will explain."
The sister-in-law, known to society
ns Mrs. Daniel Perreau, was sent for
nnd soon arrived, a dazzlingly beauti-
ful creature. Although known through-
out the town as the wife of Daniel,
there never had been a marriage, and
her true name was Caroline Kudd.
The writers of the period describe her
ns the prettiest, wittiest and most cap-
tivating woman in London. She must
have been charming, so many good
judges of beauty praised her, but the
numerous pictures of her still in exist-
ence are disappointing to those who
have read the ecstatic descriptions.
Ushered into the Adair residence, the
situation was explained to her, and she
realized Its gravity at once.
"I forget! the bond," she said. The
bankers didn't think that probable, or
even possible, whereupon she asked for
a pen and sheet of paper, and dashed
off a duplicate of the signature on the
bond. By this time Daniel Perreuu had
arrived, and also a constable, who had
been sent for by the bankers. Hut the
constable was sent away. Mrs. Rudd
made such an Impression upon the
Drummonds that they consented to for-
get the whole occurrence, and the Per-
reaus, wlih the woman who had saved
hem, drove away.
Had the Perreaus let things rest
here, they might have got out of their
Hfflculties. But there were other for*

Wednesday, the 17th of January.
177G, wns bitter cold. The ground was
covered with snow and a boisterous
wind shrieked through the streets of
London. Yet thousands of people shiv-
ered In the blnst for hours that they
might see the melnncholy procession
which presently set out for Tyburn.
First there was a hurdle, on which two
miserable coiners shivered as the rude
contrivance bumped over the stones.
Next followed a cart. In which George
Lee, the boy highwayman, wearing a
crimson coat nnd a cocked hat, endeav-
ored to convince the populace, by his
swaggering airs, that he rather en-
joyed an untimely end. He wns accom-
panied by two housebreakers, who
walled nnd wept all through the jour-
ney. Following the cart there was a
steady mourning coach, In which sat
the Perreau brothers.
The storm had grown worse when
Tyburn was reached, so operations
were hurried. Daniel and Robert em-
braced each other and spoke a few af-
fectionate words, nnd their cnlm. he-
roic demeanor was talked of for many
a day. They elanped hands on the scaf-
fold, and their hands remained clasped
until they were unconscious.
Their punishment, which wns out of
all proportion to their crime, gave the
first impetus to the sentiment against
capital punishment for sueh offenses
ns forgery and that sentiment led a
few years later (though not until th^
senffold had claimed Dodd. Fauntlero.^
nnd other victims) to the repeal ol
brutal lnws and the substitution ol
more humane ones.
Watermelon Cabarets Are the Rage in Dallas
DALLAS. TEX.—Away with the Inspiring cocktail! Watermelon cnbaret's

It said, that the "parlors" know no
lines of caste.
The. craze began with a whoop
with the start of the watermelon sea-
son. One astute concessionaire from
an amusement conceived the Idea of
selling watermelons at ten cents a
slice in surroundings similar to regu-
lar cafes.
He bought barrels of sawdust,
dyed It green and sprinkled it about his floor to simulate grass. Then he In-
stalled a tinkly-um-tum piano with a convenient slot for nickels, rolled In a
stock of melons and threw wide the 'oors.
Dallas took to the Idea at or.ce at d It has now sprend to scores of
fities in the Southwest. Theatergoers, shoppers and the well-known tired busi-
ness man paused, with memory parading before their eyes the vision of water-
melon days gone by, and stopped to patronize the place
The store's success spurred other business men to follow the pioneer
watermelon cafe owner. Other similar resorts sprang into being until the
streets today are conveniently dotted with them.
All the old-time left hooks and rl^ht Jabs are fair In consuming water-
melon in public. The approved rules, however, forbid grappling with the fruit,
contestants being expected 10 preserve a neutral territory between themselves
und the berry.
The watermelon cabaret will stay In the Southwest so long ns the melon
supply holds out. And the best of It all Is that physicians approve the dissi-
pation.
