they were sorry for the intrusion

"No. I'm not in the jewrelry busi-

"But we were told you got Jewel-

Zack said It wasn't so Then
they took his wallet. It contained
- "That * rent money," Zack pro-
tested.
"OK. we don't fool with this
■mall stuff." the small man said.
The big man gave the wallet
oack.
Then they waved their guns at
Mrs Zack. 33. The large man
took her engagement and wedding
rings and her wrist watch.
That's ail w* got." Said Zack.
"Why take it?"
"Give it back to the lady," aaid
the little man
The big man gave It bark.
"Sorry, but we made a mistake."
the small gentleman said. "We

Jewelry business "
Both bowed their way to the
door.
"Do you want us to apologise?*'
the large man asked
"Oh. no, that's not necessary,"
Zack said
The big man left.
"Sorry to inconvenience you
folks," said tha little man leaving.
Don't mention It." aaid Zack.
The 14 men are going tc spend

The Norte government has a shad-
