Great Growth of the Idea Of the Man

This idea with millions in it came first

unless before he exhausted the remains of
his last coin, just broken, he had hit
upon something whereby TO earn other
coins. 1t was in Paris, just about the
time OF the salons opening. The man in
hard luck sat eating frugally in a reStau-

watching between mOuthfuls the stream

air of men who knew what they meant
to do afUerward.
The man watching wished himselfin like

noted every detail this ones walk and

to evolve the idea. Less alert he would
not have noticed that a certain artist,
after he had eaten, walked up to the

Once they were among the steadiest and

Now they have learned trick worth two

agents all over the country have orders to
