I was at work there on the railroad." "Did you come here from Colon?" "No; I worked up the Pacific side. I was clerking with Rossner Brothers at Amapala for a while, because I speak a little German, and then I footed it over to Puerto Cortez and got a job with the lottery people.
I'll tell you about him before I close up the store, if you don't mind listening. "Willie was one of our social set up in San Augustine.

All that we possessed seemed very cheap and deplorably commonplace.

With a quick, restless motion he ran the golden dust through his fingers again. "I hope they are true, these stories. And if they are " he looked at the others challengingly, "then I'm off to the mines, muy pronto."
But if your money's tied up in the sudden millionaire business, you'll have to keep right on clerking. A man's fortune should grow like a tree, in rings around the parent trunk.
I cannot reply to him, when he has ceased, and Marie and he are looking at me. I say, "Ah!" He coughs, to keep me in countenance. Shortly, he takes himself off.
