base metal into seemingly good fragmentary coins the little girls laid themselves amenable to the he law by pawing passing the same sometimes it was the neighboring butcher or grocer that they gave the shining fifty 4 and twenty five cent pieces of which papa always seemed to have IL a plentiful supply and frequently these apparently favored children were allowed to change the coins at the con or the pie mans there was never any lack of pennies in the humble home of the family of henry barnard in the big flat house at no west forty fourth street whenever enever a small purchase was necessary one of the children or the mother and sometimes the batner went out with bright metal coins which came from some apparently parmely ly inexhaustible stock in the back room and returned with
