secured $12, coin Of the realm, and
had 1t In his jeans on his return to
}Boucher's bungaloo; that the warden
had dispo ssessed him wrongfully OF
this fortune and had steadfastly re-
fused to accede to his great desire Tor
its return. The warden modestly
acknowledged the truthfulness Of
Yonng's assertion and said that unless
the plaintiff could show that the coin
did not belong to the state 1t would be
turned into the pen treasury for the
good Of the order and Young failed to
make such showing.

some vigorous remarks with the boy
concerning the dropping of the port

with intense gloom.
The mate looked at Mrs. Hill with
visible perturbation, then his face
frightened and he helped that lady
