dusk. a laborer walked down the main
street OF the city. Coming TO poultry
dealers place. he stopped and gazed
adnirin-ly at the fowls and game dis

key of about fifteen pounds weight
took his fancy. After running his
fingers through the coins In his trou-
sers pockets few times he decided
on having that turkey. Picking 1t up
he entered the shop. The shopman was
very busy. "Jest weigh this bird for
