smilingly took their departure, and
from the opposite side of the street
watched the Italian slowly pick up and
halve one orange after another until a
dozen or more had been cut in twain,
hoping to find among the fruit the $40
gold pieces that he had heard America
was filled with and which grew on
trees" but which he had never seen

fore.
For many days thereafter the italian
was known to look upon anyone with
much suspicion who bought oranges
from linn and who asked him if they
were naval or not.
