taken the property for the benefit of a poor

terday he amended the story, saving that
he only arrived in town on Saturday even
ing, and he and six or seven others of the
tramp fraternity went into camp near the
bank Of the river Being without money
or -" grub, " it was decided that something
must be done, and they drew lots to see
who should go out foraging. Chance de-
cided that Mr.. Whalen should undertake
the enterprise, and he was attending to it
to the best of his ability when the officer
appeared and the visions of potatoes roast
ed in the ashes of the campfire quickly
fled from his mind. He was complaining
yesterday that he left his blankets in the
camp, and he feared he was separated from
