Col. Cowles threw up his hands in
disgust and went away. A week later
he sailed for London. Just before the
vessel left a native ran up the gang
plank and thrust a package into Col.
Cowles'f hand. The steamship had
started before he opend it. and when
he did native woman's finger fell on
the deck. Col. Cowles overcame his
aversion to the grewsome memento of
his adventure. and when he reached
London had the finger mounted in
gold. II was soon after that that he
went into a business deal which
brought him large fortune. some
thing which. he says, he might consid-
er only a strange coincidence IL he
had not seen some wonderful things

strange and original stories could be
