cred him so for about art hour,
that at last Dick got his salt

wind to bring the keen Boston
lawyer under his batteries.
At the beginning of his testi.
mony Dick had said that the
night was "dark as ink and
raining like seven bells"
Suddenly Mr.. Choate asked
him
"Was there a moon that
night!"
"Yes, sir"
"Ah, yes! a moon
Yes, full MOON"
"Did you see it!"
"Not a mite"
"rhen how do you know
there was a moon?"

and I'll believe that sooner'n
any lawyer in this world"
"What was the principal lu-
minary that night"
"Binnacle lamp aboard the
Challenger"
"Ah, you are growing sharp,
Mr.. Barton"
What in blazes have you
been grinding me this hour for
to make me dull?
BE civil, sir. And now tell
me what latitude and longitude
