think vou could find him when we
have had the best men in town out
looking for him?"

couldn't I?"

can try and if you find him I'll give
vou a dollar."

by a rope tied around his neck.
"Well, well," said Jones, as he
took the horse and paid Jim the dol

"You say you know Mr. Smith?"
asked the lawyer.
"Yes, sir."
"You swear you know him?"
"Yes, sir."
"You mean that you are acquainted
with Mr. Smith?"
"Yes, sir."
"You don't know him; you are
merely acqtuainted with him. Remem
ber that you are on your oath, sir.
New be careful. You don't mean to
tell the court that you know all about
Mr. Smith and everything he ever
did ?"
"I suppose-"
"Never mind what you suppose;
please answer my question. Do you
know everything that Mr. Smith ever
did ?"
"That'll do, sir. No, -you do not.
Very good. So you are not acquainted
with all his acts?"
"Of course"
"Stop there. Are you or are you
not?"
"That is to say, you are not so well
acquainted with him as you thought
you were?"
"Possibly not."~
"Just so. Now we begin to under
stand each other. If you don't know
anything about Mr. Smith's acts
when you are no-t with him, you can't
swear that you know him, can you?"
"If you put it that way"
"Come sir, don't seek to evade my
question. I will put it to you again.
When you say that you know Mr.
Smith, you don't mean to say you
know everthing he does?"
"No, sir: of course not."
"Just so: of course not. Then you
were not qtiite correct, were yor:,
when y'ou said you knew Mr. Smith?"
"No. sir."
"In point of fact. vou don't know
Mr Smith at all?"
"No, sir."
"Ah, I thoughc so. That'll do. You
can stand down."
"He's had. good. luck. at. poker
