Il is that 4 certain very popu-
lar lawyer is so late getting to his
Office in the morning. Nosey has met
him several mornings in succession
for several weeks. II has always been
after ? o'clock in the morning and he
always has small package under his
arm. He explained to Nosey that he
had been out collecting. He dropped
his little package last Tuesday night
