ONE day Mr. Meadows walked into the post-office of Farnborough and said to Jefferies, the postmaster, "A word with you in private, Mr. Jefferies."
"Certainly, Mr. Meadows-come to my back parlor, sir; a fine day, Mr. Meadows, but I think we shall have a shower or two."
"Shouldn't wonder. Do you know this five-pound note?"
"Can't say I do."
