had blown in all his money and was
stranded Though he did not know the
penniless one the man with the roll in
vited the stranger to share his hospi-

him out of his troubles. They roomed
together Monday night but when the wise

friend had decamped some time before
daylight with his money and watch. AS
he did not know the stranger there
seemed nothing to do but get another
job and earn another roll.
