PRIVATE COINAGE. H
At One Time It Wag Quite Common
In This Country. j .
. The history of the issue of coins j in
this country by private individuals and
companies would make a very interest
ing book. When gold was struck in
North Carolina a man named Beehtler
started a mint of his own there, which
was abolished by law in 184J). Half
eagles, quarter eagles and one dollar
pieces issued by him were largely cir
culated in the south and west. Al
though of honest gold, they wev about
22 per cent under value on an average.
About the same time Templeton Kei.l
coined gold in Georgia. He moved j to
California in 1819 and minted eagle
and twenty-five Collar pieces on a con
siderable scale. Mnnv commune m:j !

repneries "in Calif brnfa and elsewhere
made a business of striking gold coins
during the same period. Naturally
there was a great temptation to make
tiese coins under weight and of in
ferior fineness. The Mormons in Utah
Issued eagles, half ; eagles and double
et gles which bore, on the obverse an
eye, with the legend, "Holiness to the
L rd."
Quantities of twenty-five cent and
fi ty cent gold pieces were likewise
n anufactured at San Francisco, the
fc rme: containing only about six cents
worth of the metal and the latter
twelve cents' worth. Years ago a lot
o '; these were taken over .to Germany
a id circulated there, which elicited a
f rmal diplomatic protest from that
government. The private minting bosU
n?ss was finally stopped.

Three Roses and
Arvoiher
By JOANNA SINGLE
Dr. John Dunham knew what he did
not want He could also Instantly rec
ognize what he did want when he saw
it. ; These traits had been of use to him
in working his way through college,
through medical school- after that and
Into a flourishing practice now two
years old.
j In love as in business it was the
same,, only the girls he had thus far
met were undoubtedly tne ones he did
not want. Dr. John's black gray eyes
were always on the, silent quest of an
unknown girl the thought of whom he
linked with the thought of roses. She
did not appear. He was thirty-two and
beginning to think he had missed her
and was deckling to devote his spare
time entirely to rose culture when the
no longer expected happened.
In September he went, with a col
league,' Frederick Mayne, M. D., to a
medical convention in St. Louis. Seat
ed j at the formal banquet, he, looked
up, just across the table, at her! And
then he seemed to have always known
that she was small and blond, with
the sweet delicacy of a pink tea rose,
that her head was poised like a flower
and that breeding and courage showed
In every feature and gesture.
Instantly the thought of her as his
mounted to his head like wine, and his"
look met hers with an intensity that
made her eyes droop. He turned cool
ly to Mayne beside him and said in a
low tone: a
"Look carefully at this ring on my
finger, and don't glare up. I want to
ask a question. Who is she?"
Strangely enough, Mayne knew who
"she" was.
"Dean Carroll's daughter, Rose," he
replied. Then as they both looked up
carelessly he continued, "I may as well
tell you, that-1 shall try to get her."
Choking back a, senseless anger, trying
to realize that Mayne had as good a
right to want her as he, Dunham an
swered quietly: . -
"And I may as well tell you that you
have me to work against. I shall do
my best"
I At the reception following John Dun
ham accosted his old professor, Dean
Carroll, shook hands and asked:
"Doctor, please introduce me to your
daughter."
: "Certainly, my boy with ' pleasure
But" and the old man laughed "1
warn you!"
"It's everlastingly too late, doctor.
All I ask of you is not to tell her I
wanted to meet her and not to praise
me to her." The serious eyes of the
young man checked the old man's
smile.
"Upon my soul! I believe you're in
earnest!"
"I warn you that I am." Dean Car
roll looked Dr. John Dunham over
carefully from head to foot Then he
held out his hands,
i "I wish you luck," he said slowly.
"You're as open now as you were dur
ing the four years I knew you at col
lege and in your success since. Your
tactics are worthy of a general and
victory. Come along. But perhaps
you'd like me first to suggest to her
that you're a dangerous character?"
John laughed contentedly,
i "Better that than encomiums."
Rose Carroll met her father's old pu
pil none the less graciously because he
was tall and strong and because the
heavy, dark hair framing his handsome
face was touched with gray. In fact,
he was so interesting that she met Lira
with an armor of protective resistance
beneath her graciousness.' She was
used to easy victories over her admir
ers, but not anxious, though she was
on the alert, for her own Waterloo.
There was time enough for that
John began well. While deferential,
ho wn.3 not adoring; while entirely ap
preciative, he was not insistent in his
mjernent of her society, which he
accepted with a sort of seemingly tran
sient spirit of camaraderie that piqued
her a little. Several times during the
evening he drifted carelessly back near
her and watched, with amusement
Mayne's breakneck endeavor to make
use of his time to Impress his rather
ponderous personality upon the girl!
Dunham asked permission to call next
day. , ; , ' ..-
He did call and was carelessly enter
taining. He let himself go, showing
.his real self, speaking of his youthful
adventures in the west of his roses at
home and leaving a sort of an impres
sion that he was a man into whose life
women had entered little and that they
were to him a sort of pleasant relaxa
tion from workaday cares.
Rose found herself putting forth un
usual efforts to please this man, who
was not as others, apparently in the
least subjugated by her charms. He
did not stay long, but as he arose to
go he-unwrapped a long, slender par
. eel he had been holding, crushed the
tissue paper in his fingers and put
one perfect white rose into her hand.
He laughed down into her eyes. t
"I wanted to give you a red one,
only" The significance of his tone
and his hesitation made her rise to his
throw . ; v ;.i 'i,'"''.-' ' ;' ',;
, "Only you didn't dare!" she finished
for him. " ' ' -'
"Oh,,. I .dared,? he replied coolly,
"but I thought I wouldn't yet! The
best' for the - last you know!" And
he left her trying to decide' whether
he ' meant anything or nothing. As
he went out he met Mayne entering
with a large florist's box, and during
his xrall he had . learned that she was
leaving the next day for home. When
he reached his office ,he looked up the
northbound trains.
Next morning at 7:5$. jhe walkedip
to the stationSI Just arfnmd the corner,
on the platf of m he saw Rose Carroll
smiling at Mayne, who : carried Ther
suit case and a great! bunch of pink
carnations. Before thjej saw him" he
stepped back into th waiting .room,
bought a ticket to theieist town north
and kept outof sighf : until the trtiin
came in. He ;swung on the rear plat
form, while Mayne, triumphant in his
moment of f aypr, put the lady into a seat
and bestowed?; her luggage about per.
As the train fjiulled out Dunham look
ed from his window in the smoker and
beheld the idiotically fadoring face of
Mayne, who JVas waying his farewelL
When he had smoked ; a long black
cigar John iDunhaml sauntered into
the next carif ..About the middle ?of
the aisle he stopped; suddenly at" a
quick exclamation; . )
Why, Mr. Iunham!"
He looked down and saw, with 'ap
parent surprise, 'llos3 Carroll, ; blush
ing and smiling. He removed his hat
but made no i" effort to take the seat
which she had. cleared for him : beside
her.
, 1 A 4,
"Miss Carroll ! So this ,1s your train
how pleasan! Lovely day, Isn't it?"
"Won't you. I sit down?"' she i asked,
a little timidlyl And ie did and went
on talking son carelessly1 and , yet' so
meaningly, so brighfiy and still so
seriously, that it seemed to her but
a moment or i two before he looked
from the window and stood up. Draw
ing a slender parcel from his pocket,
he unwrapped a single, long stemmed
pink rose. ,j " . ;; : i '. ;.-!; :
"I must get off here in. order , to get
back to an important case with your
father. I only got on i to tell you!
goodby. Didn't wint . -to " interfere
with Mayne at- the Istation. I can't
compete with this floral generosity,"
and he laid the rose! in her lap, "but
this is to ; remind you that some day
I shall bring vyou thit red rose." He
was gone, without touching her hand
in farewelL She sat igasping pleased,
astonished, half ; angry, but completely
interested. Sh looked at the pink
rose. Then she; tossed the carnations
from the window and wondered how
in the world John Diunham had man
aged to obtain her promise to answer
his letters. ; 5 ., .. ;; f. - :'-:
! Thereafter Dunham wrote her not
regularly, but rwhen he fancy seemed ,
to seize him whimsical, vigorous, joy
ful, masculine i lettera, wholesomely
free from all! pveniaking. She an
swered, and sometimes when he was
very busy he i called her up on the
long distance phone tin lieu of a let
ter. Meantime; Jilayne had sent bush
els of flowers, had wjritten ponderous
ly ! sentimental feplsfles land heaved
many ponderous siglib. Twice he had
gone to see his Jdivniity,' and on his 3
last call her lack of interest in his
elaborate mention o Dunham raised
suspicion in his slo bu: relentlessly
logical mind. : On his return he saun
tered into Dunham's jbfilce. i
"Morning, ; old;1 mani" :.- j -. . '' ! - j ; i
'lrnlng, Mayke. Enjoy your vis
it?" How the deu'ee did Dunham know
he'd been' away?-1 Mayne hazarded a
guess.. . ."- ' ' j:
"Yes, called on ; Miss Carroll. Write
to her, don't you?" Taken off guard,
Dunham admitted the soft impeach
ment and was instantly sorry. Mayne
laughed with unctuotisr amusement.
"Thought you werb too astute for
that. Bet she's go you Agoing has
me! Stringing you fdr all she's' worth!
Practiced; hand! : Great girl ho end
popular. Knows how to do it. Miss
Carroll." Dunham's anger rose, but
he answered carelessly: i M
"Look to yourself, jMayne. Guess I
can take care of johpny." But after
Mayne went the tide of his j anger
surged toward Rose Carroll. . ; When
he could stand it; nd longer he went
to the phone closings: the door of the
inner office, and caljed ujs St 'Louis
and Miss Carroll, a After an hour's de
lay he got her and (went straight to
the point ; 1
"That you, Miss Cafroll? Know -who
this is? Yes! LdVely spring day! 1
want to ask you something. Forgive
my bluntnessbut 1 must know. Miss
Carroll, in your: letters and all have
you meant everything or have yon
been playing 'with me?" A long pause,
while he listened intently. ; ;
"No, I did not thihlqso I simply ask
ed. I have not the' time nor the tem
per to play You will forgive ; me f or
asking you? No, I can't, tell you what
made me think of ;such a thing.' Yes,
some day I will. Certainly I believe

At 4 in the afternoon of June-1 John
Dunham stepped! from his train; at St
Louis and went to ', a hotel to get' rid
6f his travel stains -jand appease his
hunger. , 1 rjl , -; . S
About 7 he emerged faultlessly at
