A NEW JOB, AND A LETTER FROM HOME.
One morning an elderly gentleman entered the office in which Frank was employed, and sought an interview with the superintendent.

The superintendent cast his eyes over the line of boys, and called Frank. Our hero's recognition of the disguised counterfeiter by his ring had given him a reputation for shrewdness.
"I think this boy will suit you," he said. "Do you wish him to go with you now?"
"Yes; I may want him a week."
"Very well."
