I was alone in the world, and had nothing to depend upon but mf wits and a clean reputation but these were setting my feet in the road to eventual fortune, and I was content with the prospect. My time was my own after the afternoon board, Saturdays, and I was accustomed to put it in on a little sail-boat on the bay. One day I ventured too far, and was carried out to sea. Just at nightfall, when hope was about gone, I was picked up by a small brig which was bound for London. It was a long and stormy voyage, and they made me work my passage without pay, as a common sailor. When I stepped ashore in London toy clothes were ragged and shabby, and I had only a dollar in my pocket. This money fed and B 2 THE 1,000,000 BANK-NOTE sheltered me twenty-four hours. During the next twenty-four I went without food and shelter, About ten oclock on the following morning seedy and hungry, I was dragging myself along Portland Place, when a child that was passing, towed by a nursemaid, tossed a luscious big pear minus one bite into - the gutter I stopped, of course, and fastened fay desiring eye on that muddy treasure. My moutli watered for it, my stomach craved it my whole feeingbegged for it. But every time I made a move to get it some passing eye detected my purpose, ad of course I straightened lip, then, and looked indifferent, and pretended that I hadnt been thinking about the T t pear at all. This same thing kept happening d happening, and I couldnt get the pear. I v was just getting desperate enough to brave all shame, and to seize it, when a window behind was raised, and a gentleman spoke out of it, saying Step in here, please. 9 I was admitted by a gorgeous flunkey, and shown into a, sumptuous room where a couple of elderly gentlemen were sitting. They sent away the servant, and made me sit down. They had just finished their breakfast s and the sight of the THE 1,000,000 BANK-NOTE 3 remains of it almost overpowered me 1 could hardly keep my wits together in the presence of that food s but as I was not asked to sample it, I had to bear my trouble as best I could-Now f something had been happening there a little before, which I did not know anything about until a good many days afterwards, but I will tell you about it now...
