Nothing was heard of the car for a
low daya. It waa about given up as a
total, loss. The owner did not yield
himself to despair, however, since the
Ions was fully covered by theft in
surance. Then came a telegram from
the Charleston polios saying a strang
er had attempted to pawn a oar there

waa found a letter to the younger
Johnston, and this gave a olue tovth
ownership.
