from the south and was travelling to-
wards the north. He was good
looking. and had a fine lip with a

and placed In them respectively 8, 10,
20 and so dollars. Then he changed
them about slowly and carefully and
inquired for the man avaricious
enough to give him 80 for choice OF
boxes and contents. The man
stepped to the front, paid his money
and took his choice. He opened the
paper casket hurriedly, and the note
therein would have been q 80 IL the
