The learning has been very expensive. I used to wonder how I ever could spend my income. I do not wonder now. I wonder how I will make it. I had in that drawer my "Everglade" farm. Did you ever hear of the "Everglades"? I have an alligator ranch there. It is below the frost-line, also below the water-line. I will sell it by the gallon. I had also a bale of mining stock.
In the days when Dade County and all this end of Florida were in hourly dread of Seminole raids from the Everglade country, and where every settler's house must be not only his castle, but " "I'm sorry to have to remind you," she broke in, freezingly, "that I asked you not to speak to me.
