Chapter XXXVI
"ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS WELL" Of course I was highly delighted with the success of my search, and as I brought forth the pocketbook all the others gave a cry of surprise. "You've got it, Roger!" ejaculated my uncle. "You've got it, just as sure as guns is guns!" "So I have," I replied, as coolly as I could, though I was at the top notch of excitement. "Better examine it," put in Mr. Harrison, cautiously.
