"My pocketbook, with my beautiful, bright gold-piece with the picture of Kaiser Frederick on it, and my two hard dollars, and my two mark-pieces and my nickels; all are gone!" "But, my pet, suppose you have lost your pocketbook, that is not saying that it cannot be found. There are plenty of honest people in the world who would be glad to return it if they could find the owner.

In desperation I thrust a gold-piece upon one of the numbers at the head of a column. The wheel stopped, and the ball rolled into one of its compartments. The old man thrust several gold-pieces toward me. I staked again and again, and won every time. Within five minutes the whole heap of gold-pieces lay at my side. The dotard looked at me with an expression of imbecile terror.

And this gold-piece is still hot with running 'tween thee and me." Lempriere roared. "Why, then, for thy hit thou shalt have another gold- piece, gossip. But see" his voice lowered "know you where is my friend, Buonespoir, the pirate? Know you where he is in durance?" "As I know marrow in a bone I know where he hides, Nuncio, so come with me," answered the fool.

P. Sybarite extracted an immense roll of bills from his pocket; transferred it to his other hand; delved deeper; eventually produced a single twenty-dollar gold-piece. "Take this," he said, tossing it to the boy with princely nonchalance. "It's the last of a lot, but it's yours." "What for?"

As he drew near the house, he observed, though early in the evening, but one dim light gleaming from an upper apartment, and as he reached the gate it was fast, and a porter stood within, who, to Delwood's hurried question if all was well, as he threw him a gold-piece, replied in a sad tone "kind sir, my orders are to receive no one, as my mistress is dying, or you should have admittance at once; but I know that you, of all others, could serve to lighten the blow to my master, and if you take the responsibility, you shall be admitted."

"A few days later the druggist gave Charles a key and said, 'You may come early in the morning and open the store, and do the sweeping and dusting. "At the end of the first week, when Charles received his pay-envelope, he found the five-dollar gold-piece along with the week's wages.
