In Mr.. George e. Bozall's STORY OF

named Michael, who went to an inn
for food, found the place In the hands
of the bushrangers. Fourteen guests
were already disarmed and were being
searched in order. Michael was com
PEELED to take his place in line. The
bushrangers handed him a pannikin of
tea before they took his money. Know
ing what was coming. he held the pan
nikin as If the tea were too hot to
drink, and when the leader of the
highwaymen was looking away drop
ped his roll of bank notes into It, He
stood quite quiet, and when the bush
rangers came to feel his pockets there
were only few shillings In them
The robbers appeared satisfied and al
lowed him to 20. He carried his pan
nikin out with him, took his money
and put 1t In his pocket without being
observed. Then he mounted his horse,
rode to the nearest police station and
gave information.

They Were Not Uncommon In the Old

Frequent cases of card playing oc-

A case OF card playing was men

occurred IN one OF those pews In Trow-

Hope stated that card playing was not

PAYING FOR A MEAL.
Il Was Worth About a Shilling to Pick
Those Bones.

Colonel Ebenezer Sproat of RevOlu-
tionary fame was born and bred i'll
MiddlebOrO, Mass. He was always
fond of joke and was quick to seize
an opportunity to indulge his prOpen-
sity, as the following incident illus
trates His father, also a Colonel
Sproat kept a tavern. One day while
Ebenezer was at home on a furlOugh
three private soldiers, on their return
from the seat of war, called for cold
luncheon.
Mrs. Sproat set on the table some
bread and cheese with the remnants Of
the family dinner, which her son
thought rather scanty fare for hungry
men. He felt Il little yeXed that the
defenders of the country were not
more bountifully supplied. The sol
diers, after satisfying their appetites,
asked him how much they should pay.
Ebenezer said he would ask his moth
er. He found her in the kitchen.
Mother" he said 'how much is it
worth to pick those bones"
about shilling, l guess" she an
swered.
The young officer returned to the sol
diers and, taking from the barroom till
shillings and smiling genially upon
them, gave each man one and with
good wishes sent them on their way.
Mrs. Sproat soon after came in and
asked Ebenezer what he had done with
the money for the soldiers dinner.
In apparent amazement he exclaim-
ed: Money Did l not ask you what
1t was worth to pick those bones, and
you said a shilling? l thought it little
enough, for the bones were pretty
bare, and handed the men the money
from the till, and they are gone"
Mrs Sproat could not find heart to
reprove her favorite son for this mis-
Interpretation Of her words, and then
she, too, loved q joke, and so, after an
instant's glum look, she laughed and
said it was all right.
