Here, under the grilled fretwork of the hotel's marquee, he stopped, simply to bask a moment in his feeling of cleanliness and well-being. He planted his feet wide apart, folded his hands on the knob of his cane, which made the third and balancing leg of a tripod, and stared dreamily off into space, Standing thus, he heard, after not many minutes, a prefatory cough and a voice behind him, a x » “EXCUSE ME, sir, but aren't you Major Cameron?” He turned and saw a man of middle age, dressed in good, dark cicthes and wearing a black derby.

Well, Mr. Milgrim and his partner, Mr. Richard Breen, also of Chicago, had procured, by dint of prodigious trying, an option on a tract of land adjoining the Eldorado property.
