He did not make an attempt to find the man who had drop- bed 'it, but ran all the way to his at- tie, That night he had a bad dream. He saw himself rich i{f he kept the mon- .iey, but if it was discovered, he wouid €0 to jail. Then again he saw himself feceiying a handsome reward if he re- turned it.
