Education isn’t begun yet. This was a Philadelphian, curled up in a corner. That boygets two hundred a month pocket-money, he told me. He isn’t sixteen either. Railroads, his father, aind’t it? said the German. Yep. That and mines and lumber and shipping. Built one place at San Diego, the old manhas; another at Los Angeles; owns half a dozen railroads, half the lumber on the Pacificslope, and lets his wife spend the money, the Philadelphian went on lazily. The West don'tsuit her, she says. She just tracks around with the boy and her nerves, trying to find outwhat’ll amuse him, I guess. Florida, Adirondacks, Lakewood, Hot Springs, New York, andround again. He isn’t much more than a second-hand hotel clerk now. When he’s finished inEurope he’ll be a holy terror.
