GOT HIS CHANGE BACK.

"For scrupulous care and trouble taken to return change, I have never oeard of anything that equalled an Bxperience of mine on the railroad between Meta and Paris," said a nan the other day. "I had been studying the battlefields about Metz, and when I decided to get back to D aris I converted most of the money : had left into francs.

"It was a hot day in August, and ;he second-class compartments were so crowded that I decided as we stopped at a town near the French border to change to a first-class ;oach. There was a supplement to pay, and the only German money I Had was in twenty-mark pieces. "The official who made the transfer iid not have the proper change, and while I was waiting for him to come back with the twelve marks and some pfennigs that belonged to me the train moved off, and I gave my noney up for gone. "About eleven o'clock that night the train stopped at a town halfway to Paris. There was only one other occupant of my compartment, a man who had got on at some station in France. "'Soon after we stopped the door of :he compartment was opened and a man inquired which of us had given a twenty-mark piece to be changed it the station in Germany. I replied ;hat I was the individual. " 'Come with me, monsieur,' he said ; so I alighted and followed him into the station office. "There I found my change had been telegraphed on, and he had the sum Sue to me already counted out. There were a lot of receipts and things to sign, and the train was held up almost fifteen minutes on my account ; nit I got my money and a lot of satisfaction."
