water, and we stuck out the sign of
fishing club on the mansion, and hired
sloop to give color TO the fake.

Making a die is very slow process,
and we had n dandy time sailing and
fishing while Billy WAS doing the work.

man ever knew, but as he had worked
in the treasury department he knew
the kind Of game he was up against,
and did not want to make any mistakes,
He made two dies and threw them
away, because they did not suit him.
The money that was made from these
rejected dies would have passed any
where except among experts. but Billy
was in the game TO beat experts. In
my opinion he had not his equal in the
world aS an cngravcr and tool maker,
but he WAS ono of those modest fellows
who do not have confidence in them.

could afford to live on the fat of the
