There's no use going into details,
DAILY. We landed good friends, and
Horner was in a strange land. You
know New York pretty well, and l lost
him the first afternoon down on the
East side. 1 never did know just what
became of the fellow, but the next
morning | was alone in a back room
in Greenwich, and had his belt with
me-" He chuckled grimly. There
wasn't much in it, except the letter

he was rather decent. Took me into

asking me about affairs in Europe
