absence. During the ride the money
felt uncomfortable in the lady's stock
ing, and she took out the package and
placed it at the bottom of a paper bag
containing oranges, and which she car
ried in her hands. AS they passed
through the park, the couple ate the
oranges, and when the last one was
gone threw the bag away, losing sight
of the fact that it contained all the
money they had in the world. They did
not discover their loss until late in the
evening, and all attempts to find the
| package proved unavailing.
