Il thought 1t was a joke at first. A
great many people have been taken in
with fake letters. However. / wasn't.
we had "a lot Of stun outside the
market. SO buyers could see il, and SO
the aisle would not be crowded. In this
pile was one keg containing corn meal
which We had been feeding chickens we
had on sale. This keg was particularly
IN the way and / gave il a kick
Thousands OF people had been down
around the market looking for the ell
velope. Naturally / was keeping my
eye open.
There was "A lot Of paper in the keg.
some OF IL fell out.

on the meal 1 found the envelope. The

which the arrows were 10 be secreted
We're thronged with persons who looked
at every stranger with the suspicion
that ne or she was the one commissioned
by The Times % hide the money.
