he took the shoes and started to pal
them on. There was no 81 bill in
the toe of the right one. Sholem
was at Coney Islad.
Now l know why he looked so
happy when he left" said Morris:
The next day, at work, Mr.. Gold
stein told his troubles and gave an
account of his new failure to save the
81 to the sympathetic Aaron Rosen-
baum.
What is to be done?" asked Nor
ris, in conclusion.
TN talk with ShmooI," said Mr..
Rosenbaum. You and I are two
Schlamels. We got no heads on us.
Three days later Mr.. Rosenbaum
called Mr. Goldstein to him at even
ing and they went home together.
"Shmool advises" said Mr.. Roseu-
baum, that you take the 81 and next
saturday put it in some place right
in plain sight and not try to hide it.
Schmool says, if you got an old vest
or coat hanging around that has been
there for long time, hide it in that.
If YOU conceal it, the money is sure
to be found. But ii you put it right
under their noses they'll not think to
look there. He got the idea out of a
smart detective book"
1T sounds pretty good, said Mr..
Goldstein. L never ,Aought OF that
plan before. l do it"
Saturday, Morris and the others
quit work at noon, as usual, and he
went straight to his home and going

placed the 81 bill in the inside
pocket of an old ragged waistcoat
that was hanging in a cornar and had
been there for year or more,
No one saw him do it although
Mrs GoIdstein observed him come
out of the shed, but said nothing. Mr..
Goldstein took a stroll around
Brownsville during the afternoon ana
visited neighbors in the evening. He
did not go near the shed again that
| day or night lest he arouse the sus-
picion of Mrs. Goldstein.
In a serene frame of mind he arose
, on Sunday and again formed plans
for the COney Island outing Alas
for the plans Morris after breakfast
assured himself that Mrs. Goldstein
was in front of the house and then
quietly made his way to the shed The
wajstcoat was gone.
Mr. Goldstein gave a cry. 1T is no
use" he said aloud. "Finster!" Mrs.
Goldstein fastened to him.
