However, I have promised you the story, and you shall have it.
Some years ago, eight or ten perhaps, we had a young man working for us in the Argentine as an overseer.

He was in many respects a brilliant young fellow, and would doubtless have done well for himself in time, had he been able to go straight.

Unfortunately, however, he did not do so.

He went from bad to worse.

At last he was caught in a flagrant piece of dishonesty, and was immediately discharged.
