not belong to them. why" said he Il set
one of those traps myself. boys were better
brought up, they wouldn't handle the traps or
anything that did not belong to them. The
shop keeper could not help asking the man
what business he had to NEEDLE with the traps
and suggested that he reflected no credit upon
his bringing up, to which only confused an

set the trap, on going home at evening, was
