rate is computed for the int al
period of conversation on the basis
of 5 cents for each E miles up to
"A miles and 5 cents for each 8 miles
beyond that distance.
On station to station" calls,
where the rate is Is cents or less, an
initial talking period of 5 minutes is

tons an additional charge will be

The Frenchman promptly volun-
teered to act as his agent. and offer

tegrety. Not to be outdone David
also volunteered to help dispose of
the $4,000 and put up a 81 400 bond:
The bond money and the $4,000
was all put in small box. David
thought, and given to him to keep

the Englishman had gone back to
Cai;fronia. The Englishman kept
the key, telling David to call at the
hotel that afternoon, just before he
left and get it.

tel FIVE hours for the Englishrnan
and the Frenchman to appear.
When they did not arrive, he went
home but did not open the box till
