It was a l r:g shot, but he had

“You or th*. earls," 1 replied
»verily.
He -tt{ in s.'iefae for some tinu

"How do you think you will gel
the pearls?’ 'he asked at length.
“Perfectly simple, my dear Jul-
ius.” I answer, d patronizingly.
“All 1 have to do is to go to tin
postmaster of your town as soon

the aisles.
Finally some one got out to see,
and returned shortly with the in-

After we had waited quite a
while 1 had a new idea. I got up
and started down the aisle. “Yon

asked Julius. "You better keep an
eye on me if you ever expect to
