Two Weary Countrymen Get Much
Needed Funds from Aston
ished Pawnbroker.

Two weary countrymen entered q
pawn brokers establishment near the
Broad Street station, says the Philadel-
phia Record. Each had hold of one end
of a very cheap-looking trunk.

spokesman of the pair. whats in the

Lancaster after money and get back
with 1t this afternoon for sure. If the
trunk is not worth two dollars this buddy
of mine will sit on It here, until | get
back, and you can hold him as security"
The pawnbroker was so astonished at
this proposition that he broke all the
rules of his establishment and gave up
the sum demanded. One of-the country
men at once made rapid break for the
railroad station. while the other, de-
spite the brokers' protest that It wasn't
necessary. sat phlegmatically on the
trunk until seven hours had passed ans
his friend came in triumphantly with
