of course. his journey from Long
Branch, prompted by his innate hon
eSty and the hope of n reward, had
been in vain. He could not be expect
ed, of course, to give up the purse to
any one without u clear claim on it
In that case he had the next right to
its contents legally. 1t was perhaps a
little admixture of greed in his nature,
therefore, that prompted him in re
plying:
