is very active In trying to secure the

The village of Englewood has been

His coat was In rags, his toes peeped
through his dilapldated boots and
played hide aud seek with Jack Frost,
his hair was ragged and uncombed,
and misery sat enthroned upon
his face. Mr.. Prentiss gave him food,
of which he ravenously partook, and
when told he might sleep In the house
his eyes threatened to part company
with their sockets. He protested the
luxury Of o bed beneath q comfortable
roof would kill him, and begged that
his host would, instead, give him q
mat ress and q blanket In the wood
shed. This prosperity, which he said
vas all he couli stand, became his
portion, and that night he slept q sort
of q you-don't know-what. a.soft-thing.

expedition, with the change remaining
out of q sun of money that had beey
entrusted to him aud several huge
bundles. Later In the day he appear
