40 Found His pocket.Book,

A true story, but one stranger than
fiction, and hard to beat, is told and
endorsed by the Hartford Courant,
about the way in which a gentleman
recovered his lost pocket-book.
A gentleman from Philadelphia who
has been In Hartford on business lost
his pocket-book, containing seventy
three dollars, a few evenings ago. He
made inquiries for 1t at places where
he had been, Including the Opera
House cafe. where he had taken some
Of his meals, but did not end 1t. AS
he was walking down Main street, he
heard two men behind MIN talking.
Lets stop In the City Hotel and
have a drink" said one. The other in
quired where the City Hotel was, and
his companion said It was a little way
down the street.
"AI right" said the other, but have
the drink with me. Last night l had
nothing and tonight l have seventy
three dollars"
The fact that the amount named
was the amount the Philadelphia man
AoN tNpt atduStSu AHH uVllCe, anu ne
turned around to see who was talking.
He recognized the speaker as a mar
he had known In Philadelphia.
Stepping aside, he let the two pass,
and followed them into the City Hotel
bar-room. Stepping up to the man who
said he had seventy-three dollars, he
saidt
You have my pocket-book, and you
must hand It over It Is a little red
book, and contains seventy-three dol
lars and a ten-dollar Confederate bill"
The man Indignantly denied II, and
asked his eeuse who he was that he
should dare to make such a charge.
III tell you who l am" he replied,
'.and I'll tell you vino you are. You
were employed once in the Philadef-
phia p~ostonlce, and l arrested you for
stealing and selling stamps. Now hand
over the pocket-book OF 1t WIN go hard
with you"
The fellow recognized his aecuser,
and at once took the book out of his
pocket and returned It to the owner,
none of its contents having been dis
turbcd,
