Now that we've been touched personally we will take some interest in the gang, and I have a large crayon picture of about a dozen hitherto respectable young fellows learning useful trades in a reformatory institution." "But that doesn't bring back our money, neither does it tell us how it was stolen or what became of it," said Ben. "I can't get a thing out of Farley," said Ted.
