a FOUNDER, into which the
writer sank tooth witlr pleasure.
Hurley had his usual comic adj
venture. He gave his boatman
package in which he thought he
had pies he hadn't had time to
eat, only to discover when he got
home that it wasn't pies out calf's
brains he had bought for the

He had taken the wrong package.
His family enjoyed the pies very
much according to his son.
