the purpose of tic ariitle to 10 in.
to Tile merits 81 the discussion or
to report any more than it's most

said, nevertheless, that the gold

considered ii very good point, and
reinted, as he SUPPOSED, il free sii.
yer statement that there was NOT
enough gold iii tile country to

without the yellow metal. "Thoy
say they are very sorry, but they
haven't the gold" said the young
man.
Still in tile hopes of winning the
wager, the business man said that
he did business in another bank.
So confident Of success was The
holder of the smaller end of the
wager that he agreed to let his
friend try to get tile money at the
other hank. The gold man even
went so far as TO send u written
request for gold along with the
freshly mado out check. Back
came the young man not laden
with gold bit Il iiotc that read ais
