A REALLY GRATEFUL PERSON Suffolk Guard Returns Wallet Containing 75 to Loser and Is Not Even Thanked. BOSTON, Mass., May 24.— Honesty doesnt always meet with its reward as guard Thomas Abruzzio of Suffolk Downs learned Friday. Abruzzio. who is on duty on the mezzanine floor, picked up a pocketbook from the floor. Having an idea that he would recognize the person who lost the pocketbook, Abruzzio scouted through the crowd until he spotted a man whom he recognized as having been near the spot where the pocket-book was found shortly before he picked it up. Stepping over to the gentleman respectfully, he asked him if he had lost anything. "Yes," replied the jentleman in question, "my pocketbook." "What is your name?" inquired the guard. On finding that the name corresponded with the information tag, Abruzzio Bur-rendered the wallet. "Do you know what is in it?" inquired the man who had recovered his wallet. "No," replied Abruzzio. "Only 75," answered the man, walking off without even saying thanks.
