who said he was looking for an uncle,
John Jennings, who came cast a number
.ofyears before. Mr. Jenningsvwns not

stranger, “J Carter," and was dead.
The letter. by 3111an Jennings,
Honnt Vernon, N. Y., said that Joe‘s
education was sadly deficient. and he
wanted hh uncle to do business for him.
Would not Mr. Jennings, whose face
was honest. suit him? Joe and an in-
tlian had made valuable discoveries of
gold, andonly needed a shrewd finan-
