We'll. yes: let It go at that"
IT am generally accounted a very lucky
man by the thousand and one people who
know more about me than I do myself But.
on my honor. what I call a genuine piece
OF good luck happened TO me only once IN
my life. II didn't amount to much. though
IL meant much to me At the time. II was
when I was filling my first job-that Of an
errand boy at 50 a week-and tell you I
have never since felt so rich as when I car
rfed home my first g.
IT had been given a check 10 cash and a
bill to nay. After paying the bill I had

that I had a better right to the property

changed the whole current Of my career
and instead OF being a rich man I might
today have been a poor devil. or I miCht
have been twice as rich as I am. Who
knows? Anyway. I regard II as the only
