he was employed to go about the country
to look into cases where there had been
false swearing, said he could, if he had a
sovereign, get Mr., Day out of prison
The sovereign was gwen him for the
purpose. The man was wearing brown

both mother and girl started to run. By
a fortunate accident, the little girl STUN
bled and fell into large hole, while the
