bonds worth I cent on the dollar for
the pictures on them, ana there were
coal OH bonds worth 3 cents q pound
as paper rags The elder 1Gr. Bradbury
had invested IN his time It was no
trouble at all for Miss Bessie to hunt
up thirty 81 600 bonds worth alto
gether so cents, and put them IN the
envelope IN place OF those issued by
Uncle Samuel The latter she carried
up to her room with her, and by and

to clear up the mystery,
and the problem had not yet been solV-
sd when the telephone rang and Miss
Bessie was called by servant. It was
