    loss of so much money.
    There is another story told of a man who was working in Farn. One morning as he was crossing the wall going to work he found a half-crown. On finding no owner for it, he kep it. The next morning he found another one, but said nothing about it, so he kept it also. Every morning for a month he found one on the wall. He then decided to tell his master about it, so the following morning there was no money for him. It is believed that if he told no-body about it that he would keep on getting the money every morning.
