The gentleman in question gazed a moment at the note, assumed a look of excitement, made a hasty search of his pockets and said : "Why. so I did; and I hadn't missed it," holding out an eager band. The old man slowly drew forth a note book and said r "I thought so!" He then took the name and ad dress of the loser, and putting 'the note in. his pocket, tamed away.
