pin? to which the gentleman replied by asking
for description, and was told by the stranger
that he had lost one, but could not describe it,
as it had only recently come into his possession
but could swear to it if he could see it. The
gentleman then said that it was not breast
pin which he had picked up, when the stran-
ger passed on. Not long afterwards, however,
the gentleman was again questioned by another
stranger to know if he had not found a gold
pencil case. The gentleman, thinking this

question answered, as it proved in the sequel,
for no such person can be found. The gentle

himself or friends TO no further trouble about
the matter, as the cause If their great solicit
