"Just so. There are plenty of chances of making money here. I made five thousand dollars in Wall Street last week myself."
"You did!" exclaimed Edgar dazzled.
"Yes. Sometimes I have made more. I don't often lose. Which ball will you select. The spot?"
"Yes."
"I suppose it takes considerable money to speculate in Wall Street?"
"Oh no, not on a margin."
"I should like to make a strike myself. I am in the office of Crane & Lawton."
"Are you indeed? I never did any business with them, but I understand that they stand very high."
"I think they are rich."
The game was played, and resulted in the success of Edgar.
