HE one. IN one OF the ante rooms OF the

later he was much surprised.
A search OF the room he remembered
being I'm was made by himself and others
but the watch was not found.
Encouraging tales were told Mr.. Bon
gartz about things that had been lost a'
the court house before and never recover
ed stories OF valued revolvers that some
times the payment or - restored, and
stories OF rings lost that neither money
could secure the return Of nor ccmpen-
safe for the loss OF were given with a
charming detail.
These stories led AFR. Bongartz n tell
how much he prized the watch. Then the
story tellers consoled him with the sug-
sestion that every one about the court
house was honest IN vacation; that IL was
during sessions OF the grand jury that
revolvers and rings were not returned or
returned for compensation to the losers.
MFR. Rongartz did not take much salts
faction out of the consolation sought to
be administered.
This morning he got his watch. A law
student had gone into the ante room.
where the time piece was left and took
care of n until an owner claimed ", The
student went on his vacation snd on his
return heard who loet the watch and
promptly gave IL back.
