small copper coins equal to one farth-

man to hold them as tightly as posi-
bic and not TO permit them TO escape
him. McFarlanc had great deal OF
confidence in himself and very little
in jugglcrs, and would have wa,

three picc for tho balance Of the day.
But in few moments the pee began
to swell, and McFarlanc declared he
