"If we Und but a few hundred dol
lars, Hans." said Uretchen, "it would
be possible, but witli nothing what
could we do? Our wages are too small
to save anything. We should have to
pay ;il I we earn f.?r board and would
never have tf h?tue. I.et us wait
awhile."
Ilaus did wait awhile, but there
seemed rto more prosper t after it than
before, and he grew impatient, Gretch
eu coaxed liiiu. telling him she had

would save the same in three years they

and could go t.> housekeeping. Then
together they might live cheaper than
apart and save more money for the
family to come. Three years seemed

Is not as good at saving as a woman,
and he had not put by more than half
what Uretchen had.
One day when Hans was walking 011
the street lie saw right under his nose
u fat pocketbook. Some oue had evi
dently dropped It but a moment before,
for people were passing continually.
Hans picked it up and hurried on.
thinking to overtake the owner, for he
was an honest fellow, and every one
he passed he asked if he had dropped
anything. Ail looked at him in sur
prise. and some felt In their pockets,
but no oue claimed the property. Then
Hans, thinking that the loser must
have been going the other way. desist
ed. He took the pocketbook to his
room, opened it and fouuu $i5o0 in bills.
He carried it to Gretchen, and they
consulted what they should do. Nei
ther of them thought for a moment to
keep what would be a treasure to
both, and they decided that Hans
should take it to the police, who would
doubtless try to find the owner.
The next morning llans started for
the polite office and. passing a point
near where he had found the pocket
book. saw a notice posted of the loss
and saying that if It. with its contents,
was returned a quarter of the con
tents would be given to the finder.
Hans went back to Uretchen and told
her of the notice. "We are in great
luck." he said. "A quarter of $(S0 is
SKKI.50. With that we can buy enough
furniture to commence housekeeping
Crotchet! admitted that it would cer
tainly bring them -uearer to their de
sires and advised him to go at oucc
and deliver the money.
He found the man who had lost it
a disagreeable looking creature with
blear eyes, snaggle teeth, a hook nose
nti I a cunning expression. Hans band
ed him the pocketbook. He opened it,
felt of it. looked in it and. affecting
great surprise, asked:
"Vel'o is the di'iuollds?"
"What diamonds';"
"The di'monds that wre iu the pock
etbook with the in <uish."
Hans declared that there were no
il'.auionds. whereupon ihe Jew began
to abuse him for a thief, llans. be

itisc l of swindling an I especially at
his accuser's evident Intention to de
prive him of the promised reward
made a dash for the p >ek"tbook. The
Jew cried lustily for the police, and an
officer came runnirg into the shop
Hans and the Jew st::ted their case,
and the officer took them before a mag
i -irate, together with the pocketbook
m.d its contents. The magistrate heard
th.- story of each, giving especial atten
t .ni to the Jew's statement, asking him
many questions respecting the jewelry,
their size and value. Then he ques
tioned Hans, drawing out the circuits
stances of finding the treasure and his
returning it. When he was satisfied as
to the merits of the case he turned to
the Jew and asked:
"For what did you ai'vertise?"
"A lost pocketbook. your honor, con
taining $imO."
"And how many diamonds?"
"No di'monds, your h.mor."
"Why didn't you mention them?"
"lteeause I didu't want any oue who
found them to know what they was."
"That was very prudent of you.
Knowing their value, the tinders would
have been more likely to keep them."
"Yes, your honor."
"And the money and the diamonds
were iu the pocketbook?"
"Yes, your honor."
"The contract you made with the
finder was to return a pocketbook cou
taining .StlTiO and you would give him a
quarter of the amount for 11 reward?"
"Yes. your honor."
"Very well. Since this poeketbook
contained only $(00 and no diamonds
it can't be yours." Then, turning to
Hans: "Von keep the pjckethook and
the $GoO until the owner calls for tliein,
and if lie never cads for them they are
yours."
The Jew protested, but the magis
trate was Inflexible. Tie cried and
wrung his hands, while nans walked
away with the poeketbook, followed by
the Jew. who offered him all the mon
ey if he woidd give up the poeketbook.
Flans would do m>t!\<ng till he had seen
Gretchen. so he declined the offer. The
Jew offered more and more money till
by the time he had reached Gretchen
the amount was $t!,000. The lovers of
fered to accept the amount if he would
state his reasons for offering so much,
whereupon the Jew asked them to
open the poeketbook and showed them
an inner -pocket containing diamonds

Tlio lovers decided to refer the mat

them an amount equal to one-quarter
