PREFACE

A basis of fact underlies many of the incidentsincorporated in this story. Even the letters arevery like those received by one of the official agentsof the United States Treasury. Occasional usehas been made of the work entitled, “Defraudingthe Government.” Out of his material the writerhas tried to present a tale that should be stirringand yet wholesome, having plenty of action, butfree from sensationalism.

Naturally, changes in characters and localitieshave been freely made. If his young readers shallbe interested in the story and shall draw the conclusionthat any attempt to defraud the Governmentreacts in harsher form upon the one who triedto evade the laws, a part at least of his purposewill have been accomplished.
