"Giff me back mine sixty pounds"
cried the German, shaking his fist in the
prisoners face, Gift it me back, you bad
one, you; gift it me, l say!'
But the pseudo gentleman only smiled
at his simplicity in SO easily parting with
his hard-earned money to complete
stranger, and whistled softly to himself.
The prisoner was taken to the police
station. On searching his room, the
money stolen SO adroitly from ANNE was
discovered concealed therein.
Great was the JOY OF the sisters on re-
ce1ving it. They are now living in the
coy little house purchased with the re-
covered money, and are as happy as the
day is long; while the author OF their
misfortune is lodging in the fine house
known as the Portland Prison, as quiet
and retired as he could possibly wish tc
be. Annie is careful toIwhom she intrusts
valuables, even for a moment; and Maris
has an aversion to dodgers, SO the notice
" Furnished Apartments " has never been
displayed at their windows.

their eyes to the practice. Spain
welcomed the gift of chocolate made

Invalids will do well to remember
that chocolate made with vanilla is
indigestible and injurious to the
nerves. Indeed, there are few
stomachs at all that can bear chocolate
as daily meal. 1t is highly con-
centrated aliment. and all such cases
cease to act nutriciously if taken into
daily use.
