I've been searching everywhere for her; you don't suppose a smart smart counterfeiter has to get rid of his money in the way I've been doing, do you? I traced her to this part of the State, and I've been going over the roads again and again trying to find her; but I never saw her until she put this hole through my arm last night."
The results given are drawn from an actual experience of many years. The most obvious risk is from the counterfeiter, not from the vulgar shams distributed so widely over the world from the well-known manufactories of paintings in France, England, and other parts, which can deceive only the most ignorant or credulous, but from talent itself debased to forgery and trickery.
A moment of silence, then: "I'm sorry to tell you, but these two fifty-dollar bills are counterfeits." There ensued an absolute hush, and before my eyes arose the vision of Sylvia's father paying his supper check with a crisp fifty. "Counterfeit," the professor mused, putting out a hand for them and moving nearer the light. "Strange! Just today I was speaking of a counterfeiter!"
What do you think? They said he was a counterfeiter! And so they went one night to his room, when he was out, and that man of his was away too, and they carried keys, and opened pretty much everything; and they found well, they found just nothing at all except writings and letters, letters from places in America and in England, and some with Italian postmarks: that was all.
Forbes, alias Williams, made a trip to Philadelphia to be treated-for crushed finger-tips, not for the kick of an automobile engine. He may have paid the doctors in counterfeits.

Richard Venner did not turn out to be the wife-poisoner, the defaulting cashier, the river-pirate, or the great counterfeiter. He paid his hotel-bill as a gentleman should always do, if he has the money and can spare it. The detective had probably overrated his own sagacity when he ventured to suspect Mr. Venner.
Of Delbras we knew, first, that he was and had been for years the occasional partner or confederate of the counterfeiter, and presumably a counterfeiter also; next, that he was set down in the records of the London police as 'dangerous'; and last, that he had crossed the ocean, leaving Paris, which had grown 'too hot to hold him, and was avowedly en route for the World's Fair, it was thought upon mischief intent.
And she said he always seemed to be disappointed and unhappy when he came back." "And the people in the village thought he was a counterfeiter that he made bad money?" "That's what Maw Hoover and Jake said. They thought so, I know." "People think they know a lot when they're only guessing, sometimes, Bessie.
As for Bartolo, the counterfeiter, he had just been caught at Treviso, and, at the time of writing, was safely lodged in the Pozzi, either to be tried in Venice or sent to Rome, as might hereafter be agreed between the respective governments.
"Yes; and you?" "Bradley and Dode are here." Bradley moved forward and took Ned by the arm. "Be careful!" he warned. "Those men would toss dynamite down here and take their own risk of death if they knew." "We've had a run for our money!" Frank panted. "We've been everywhere. The cabin is deserted, and the lower camp and the counterfeiter cave are bare of life.
