It wasn't in thacorrt- vs~s~y fU wasnF under any Of the old bills in the dark corners. He started back downward the same way he had come, thinking there must be some mystic con- nection between the crescent shape of the charm and the misfortunes of the Ottoman empire, when he stopped at the sewer trenches near the bridge over Park River. As he had told ever one of hls loss, he also told some street urchins who were playing on the blanks lad over the mud, there where swarms of Italians had been passlng and requesting all day. Oats hard luck" exclaimed one of the gamlns, ct the same time poking in the mud there whore swarms of Italians things gllsteued under the sticks he was using. and in a moment the boy was holding up the valu- able pleco of Iewelry to the astonlshed gaze of the ex-senator.
