particularly wet and stormy day.
Trusting implicitly in the old super.
st1tion which says that If it rains on
st. Swithin's day It will rain for forty
days thereafter. Bnlliot opened a pool
for every one who was willing to bet
against him. The affair attained SO
much notoriety that the wager was re-
duced to writing.

banker become that he accepted as
stakes not only money, but gold head

clothes. When his cash gave out he
offered notes and bills Of exchange
