"aS On HIS way 10 Faimr beach when
he stopped on in order TO see the city
and break the long Journey
On the morning of his arrival he
leisurely strolled down, the main
street when he CHANGED TO meet the
genial doctor TO whom he introduc-
ed himself After introducing him
self, he told the doctor where he was
from, what business he lad been in
and where he was going. Fhe doctor
and the millionaire then went in to
get an eye opener, as they called it.
After which the millionaire inquired
for a suitable stopping place The
doctor WIS heard TO say II want you
70 be my guest and enjoy my hospi-
tality,' SO come vita me-"
The doctor then escorted the mil
ifonaire to private boarding house.
where he was presented to the land
lady, and arrangements made for a
few days board. He stated that his
baggage was in the depot, but he
would have IL sent down during the
day
The doctor and the millionaire then
went back to the thoroughfare to meet
the people and see the sights.
Met the Government Man.
The millionaire became acquainted
with large gentleman who held a
government position and who was in
terested in the sale of real estate,
and VINO was termed the Government
Man. The next gentleman, to be in
troduced to him was a young man of
high standing, with a quick movement,
and who was a real Curb Stone brok-
er. He would sell anything from a
toothpick to locomotive, and IL you
did not have the money to purchase
It he would loan You the purchase
price.
The third gentleman to be intreduc-
I'd TO him was real estate man. and
who spoke about the sand of Florida,
80 the millionaire termed him the
Sand Man. And then the Sand Man
introduced the millionaire to mis- part
ner, who was a lawyer. The genial
doctor, who had been with the mil
lionaire up to this point, decided that
he had introduced him to a sufficient
number of prominent people to be en-
tertained as visitor should be, and
the parties that he was q millionaire,
and should be properly entertained.
and with this ne left the millionaire in
the company named.
After the doctor left they assumed
the responsibility OF louiSing after the
welfare of the Millionaire and seeing
that he was properly cared for. AT
first each party wanted to take the
millionaire with him.
Favored the Government Man.
Inasmuch as the government man
had been introduced 10 him first, he
considered 1t proper to accept the
eminent man. So the government
man and the millionaire left the 9TH
or gentlemen standing near the cafe.
That afternoon the government man
carried the millionaire down the bay
on yacht, which, believe. was dec
GRATED for the occasion. He showed
him the deep water, ami where the
navies of the world might with per-
feet safety ride out the 6erce gales.
During the trip down a strong breeze
was blowing from the north and the
government man ordered the windows
on the north side shut down, so as
to prevent the millionaire from catch
ing cold.
The Curb stone Man and the Sand
Nam did not like the way the Gov
ernment Man had acted in the carry
ing the Millionaire away. So they
arranged that afternoon to get the
millionaire in tow and carried him
up 70 tae Big Club where he was reg
istered. The steward at the club was
instructed to pay particular attention
to the wants of the gentleman from
Montana
His Particular Brand.
The frst night at the club the mil
lionaire was asked If there was any
particular brand OF liquor he prefer
red. and he gave the name Of some
brand never before heard of by any
one present The steward was di-
rected to call over the stock list so
that the millionaire might choose,
after which he selected a very COM
mon brand of liquor.
The curb stone broker was very at
tentive to the millionaire and accom-
panied him to his boarding place after
leaving the club. He expressed him
self as very much pleased and appie-
ciafed the attention shown him He
horses out on my place in Montana,
which I am going to present to you.
i viii have them shipped to you
within two weeks, whether / go to
Palm Beach or not"
Then the curb stone man went back
10 the club where he founi the sand
man and the government man and he
said to them: "He is 2 real western
millionaire"
Before leaving the club the million
aire related TO his party how he had
StruEKlcQ IN The west, uOW uC hau
fought the Indians years ago and that
the study of his life had been raising
cattle and mining copper.
Next morning the millionaire got
I'm the company of the government
man. although he had intended going
with the other gentlemen. This caus-
cd considerable friction in the quar-
tette. During the day they came to
an agreement on the millionaire that
ne was not to be introduced to any
more people, and that he was at all
times to be accompanied by at least
one member of the quartette, and tnat
they would cooperate in their EFFORTS
10 load him with sand and permanent
" anchor him in the city. This agree
