the find was advertised, the owner
never appeared and 1 had the pleas

money"
"Your experience has been about
the same as mine, captain" chimed
in G.. n. Bouteli. Il never found a
cent in my life, but a negro porter of
mine found $40 and keptit, too"
"Well, you fellows have been
deuced unlucky," spoke up c. c.
Stanley, president of the Monarch
Manufacturing company, who was

"Shake! |, too, was a soldier. l am

81 spent the night there and next
morning was standing aimlessly around
waiting for something to turn up,
, when brother confederate, mounted
and leading a second animal, came
down the street. / stopped him and
explained my situation and then
asked him to loan me his second
horse. He granted the request, and
) as we rode out of the town, with the
intention of catching up with our
commands, he explained to me that
the horse / was riding had been
picked up in the outskirts of the
! town by himself and he had no idea
who owned the animal.
"My newly found friend assured
S me that / was perfectly welcome to
ride the steed, butt must give him up
when we rerched our commands. We
