Loser Should Pay Finder 10 Per Cent.
IF you lost a watch worth 500
what reward would you give the find
er for its return?"
"Oh. $40 or s20."
Ten per cent. eh? Well, that is
about right said Lecocq. the detec-
tive. ut is more, though, than the
average person would give.
Here in America, in lost and found
cases. there is no recognized percent
age Of reward. but in England there
is such ercentage-namely, half
crown to a pound-that is to say,
about 10 per cent. Ten per cent. is
what the finder must be paid in Eng
land, provided he takes his find to
q police station or to Scotland Yard
He always does so. as otherwise the
owner is apt to give him less than the
legal 10 per cent.

appeal OF such success as yours. Wheth-
er or not it has practical results, wheth-
er or not it will add to the money wealth
of the world. or only to its stores of
knowledge, they know that it adds to the
moral wealth of the world, that it raises
the courage of every man and makes it
more possible for him to reach his goal
In conquering the Arctic difficulties.

passed in line. Not more than half the
