The country youth was gawky. The elder man watched him unobtrusively and found that he was associating with a rather wild gang. The gang held out in a certain billiard saloon, and greatly admired their leader, a young man who always seemed to have plenty of money. He gives the boy a sample $5.00 bill, telling him to pass it and see how fine it was. On pay-day he handed the bill to the cashier pretending it was part of his salary, and requesting that it be changed. When it was returned from the hank as a counterfeit, he recognized it as the one presented by his cousin. The boy purchased a large sum of bad money but his pocket was picked. The thieves took the money to the billiard saloon room, recognized the counterfeits and threw the wallet under a table. An old scrub woman found it. The wallet contained the young clerk's card, and the honest woman decided to return him his property. He gave her several of the bills as a reward. This was in the office, his employer witnessed the transaction. Other things he had discovered made him believe the boy was a dupe of the counterfeiters. He managed to have the scrub woman apparently arrested, and she was brought to his office where she was confronted by the young clerk, who had first denied having given her the money, but (when the supposed officer put handcuffs upon her wrists, and prepared to lead her out to prison) the young boy broke down and declared she told the truth. The employer changed the bad bills for good money, managed to quash the case, and told his trembling cousin that he had been weighed in the balance and not found wanting.
