on Devon the night before.
"How about this, your he inquired
Of Devon. "Where'd this come from
before 1t was in your pocket? While
we're at It, We might as well clear up
everything"
The center Of interest, Uriah Devon
shifted uneasily in his chair. He had
discovered the loss Of the money but
had not dared to make any inquiry
about it. Hastily he ran over the sit
uation, and it appeared to him as hope
less as possible. but five thousand dol
lars was a good thing for man to
have, whatever his position. II Mrs.
Curtis claimed the money, her connec-
ton with him would come out, and
that might make things easier for him.
If she didn't, he'd have the cash any
how.
THAT'S mine, mister" he grunted,
"and didn't steal 1t, neither. Give 1t
to me-"
The same considerations had been
chasing through Mrs. Curtis mind,
and, In the general cataclysm that she
saw before her, she concluded the
money might be very necessary for
her and her children.
Don't let him have II, john" she
screamed. "It's mine. Give II to me-"
Doctor John arose and stood be-
tween Uriah and Mrs. Curtis. holding
the roll Of bills In his hand. Amidst
the closest attention Of the rest of the
group, he looked from one to the other
while the claimants INDUCED In a dis
pute.
"You give 1t to me, didn't you

"Yes, I suppose did," she acknowl
edged. "but you haven't done what you
said you would"
"'Twasn't my fault" Uriah grum

Then Doctor Paul interposed, and
a few questions, sternly put and cate

FOR MoRKMEN,s CONVERSATION

Luanbago. and not an injury. was found
10 have been the cause of laying John
Hawker Of 20 Durham street up when he
was employed at the Un.;ed Metal Man
ufacturing Co. last October and for that
reason his claim for workmen's compen-
sation has been disallowed by Commits
sioner ]. j. Donohue.
In his award and finding the commits
sioner states that the man went to work
at a. m, Oct. Is, 1920 and half an hour
later was taken with pain in the back
while lifting or closing a mould. He was
not abe to return to work until Nov. Is.
A physician testified that he had treated
Mr.. Hawker for luns5ago previously and
the. commissioner finds that this was ar
attack OF the lumbago that came or
while the man was working. He rules
that 1t was not a disability arising out
Of and in the course OF employment.
