Jacques Ddval was nevertheless one
of the klndest souls that ever lived. At
the death of his father. who left him a
great fortune, he had found a list of
people whom the dead man had been in
the habit of sending a present every
year, and for ten years he had con-
tinued his fathers practice.
Now he decided to investigate, but
how?
1t did not take him long to devise a
plan. Instead Of mailing checks to the
people ne decided to bring them the

Lysander John Appleton did not on
