Much was to be made, at last,
of Mr.. Robert Fulton. New York
had awakened, a little late, but
still in time. to the realization
that it harbored a great man,
one who babe fair to become
celebrity. 1t had ignored him,
Knocked him, laughed behind his
back at him-and he had given
no sign of knowing or of caring.
And 1t was the mans own
attitude, his calm indifference to
what others said and thought,
really, that had won him this
recognition; it was a tribute
to him, personally, rather than to
his work-sinec that, after all,

promises he could not keep. She
trusted Vanderbilt, too; his judg-

And Larry-Larry believed in
Fulton, and she thought, with
rather a wry smile. OF the differ

in the Clermont and the nervous
and excited way in which he
backed a horse or a gamecock or
his luck at cards or with the dice.
Two natures, she well knew,
were struggling within Larry; on
the issue Of that struggle his
whole future depended. She had
heard old Astor lecturIng him:
trying to persuade him to take a
position and become business
