Before the old man knew what had hap

The boy jumped up with a gun In each

and wounded another The fourth man

together right away and went out to the
Cid mans camp and brought him back to
town.
They found that he wasn't so very bad

they Do Not Mind the Pennies.

Experience has made the men of the
fruit stands overcautious in handling
coin above the size of a 10 cent piece.
The larger pieces they wilt test upon the
pavement or sink their teeth into in u
tentative fashion. II is TO be noted,
however, that whenever customer
makes a penny purchase they pocket his
change without scanning it-almost
hastily indeed. There is deep reason il
this procedure.
For one thing, nobody counterfeits
the cent piece; it is too cheap. For an
other thing, the fruit dealer knows that
no coin of smaller denomination is pass
ing into his hands For a third thing,
and this is the most important, there is
always a chance that the customer is
deceived himself and is handing over a
nickel, dime or one of the minor gold
pieces, under the impression that he is
paying but a penny. IL he looks satisfied
and starts 20 go away, he is not likely
to be called back TO get the change Oc-
casionally some such involuntary wind
fall comes the way of the fruit man.
