tia1 than IL the stuff Of which all
dreams are made
Bill Smith went with me on nearly
all OF my excursions. and this fact, I
state with reluctance, was source
of discord. Bill and never could
agree as to the ownership of any par
ticular site. I always seemed to want
Bill'ss site, and, for some unaccountable
reason, he appeared to take an imme-
date fancy to each one I picked out.
Sometimes Bill and / got into rather
heated arguments concerning the pos
session of certain choice bits of land,
and waxed angry over it. We got sar-
castle. too, and Bin said some pretty
cutting things about me and my ideas
of beauty, and I came back with some
witty things at Bill that must have
smarted. We forgot ourselves.
One of our favorite courses of action
when we failed to agree as to which
of us. would buy particular site, was
to employ strategy and subterfuge. Bill
at times would seem unresponsive when
would arrive at an unusually pleas
ing site before him, and decide to build
there. SOP" he would murmur, nom
chalantly, and turn away for moment
but not before / had discerned the
fantastic gleam in his eyes that showed
how assumed was his careless manner.
And, after a time. he would begin to
show me other sites. and dwell upon
their advantages, and attempt to draw
my thoughts away. from the spot he
desired SO ardently. But he never sue
ceeded in pulling the wool over my
eyes I often tricked him out of a
choice location in that manner, but
BilPs work, you see, was clumsy and
lacked fnesse.
OF course, there were many. many
sites that 1 selected and then aban-
doned, few minutes later. for some
better location In fact. between us, Bill
