"Don't you remember my telling you that I am interested in newspaper work ?" "I have even heard so from others," he said, with an instant of dryness.
"Please tell me about the 'Herald' ?" "It is very simple.

Your friend, Mr.Fisbee, found a substitute, a relative six feet high with his coat off, a traction engine for energy and a limited mail for speed.

He writes me letters on a type writer suffering from an impediment in its speech; and in brief, he is an enterprising idiot with a mania for work-baskets." Her face was in the shadow.
"You say the--idiot--is enterprising ?" she inquired.
"Far more enterprising and far less idiot than I.They are looking for oil down there, and when he came he knew less about oil than a kindergarten babe, and spoke of 'boring for kerosene' in his first letter to me; but he knows it all now, and writes long and convincing geological arguments.

If a well comes in, he is prepared to get out an extra! Perhaps you may understand what that means in Plattville, with the 'Herald's' numerous forces.

I owe him everything, even the shares in the oil company, which he has persuaded me to take.
