I never saw the like," sahl Mr. Ryan. "I suppose these people think 1 am either hug-house or a fool, and that I have nothing to do hut stand on the streets and pitch out ten and'twenty- (lollar bills. I have offered 1500 for the return of the Jewels, hut this doesn't seem to satisfy. Nearly even' caller wants a retainer, llo nr 136.
