business man was able to sell the property for seven hundred thousand

dollars。 He did this so promptly that I ventured to ask him if delay

might not have brought a greater price。 'Well'; he said; 'I don't know。

You must seize these things。 Blake and Beverly might have got tired

waiting。〃



〃'Blake and Beverly!' I exclaimed 'So they made the purchase。 It Mr。

Beverly back?'〃



〃'Just back。 To tell the truth I don't believe they're finding so much

copper as they hoped。'〃



〃This turned out to be true。 And I am not sure that the business man had

not known it all the while。 'We looked over the property pretty

thoroughly at the time of the Tamarack excitement;' he said。 And in a few

days more; in fact; it was generally known that this land had returned to

its old state of not quite paying the taxes。〃



〃Then I paid my visit to Mr。 Beverly; but with no cowhide。 'Mr。 Beverly;'

said I; 'I want to announce to you my engagement to Miss Ethel Lansing;

whose Michigan copper land you have lately acquired。 I hope that you

bought some for your mother。'〃



〃Those;〃 concluded Mr。 Richard Field; 〃are the circumstances attending my

engagement which I felt might interest you。 And now; Ethel; tell your

story; if they'll listen。〃



〃Richard;〃 said Ethel; 〃that is the story I was going to tell。〃
