Tor the pathetic old fellow had made
moving appeal. and was about to re-
turn to his pocket the other coins in

through his fingers and started to roll

louis dor with the image of the

shot away at accelerating speed down

his blood was aroused. and he was
bound that the coin should not escape

swerved in its track and rocked along
