Laplnsky Age 11 Exeter Once upon a time there was a brave boy about eight years old. His name was Jack, One evening when he was in bed, -he heard the rattling of coins. Jack, being brave, got up and lit the gas. He found two big men in the room. They told Jack that they were the White brothers and advised him to go back to bed.

When Jack went to bed the burglars went away through the open window. The next morning Jack told his father about them. His father phoned to the State troopers. They said they would search for two men who looked like the ones Jack described. They found the burglars who were put into the Lucerne County prison.

Jock was rewarded with 8100. 4.
