in cash and jewels a cool hundred
thousand dollars.
At the time of the deed the lawyer
of Mr.. Marsh paid me a five hundred

the same should be mine At the

years.

in mind. At the end of the ninth year
l sought out Mr.. Marsh. He was no
longer a capitalist. The loss of the
hundred thousand dollars had Grip
