“I’m too old at the game to believe much in new methods to what I’ve been brought up to, Bob,” said he; “but I believe in you.  If anybody can do it, you can; and I’d be tickled to see you win out.  Things change; and a man is foolish to act as though they didn’t.  He’s just got to keep playing along according to the rules of the game.  And they keep changing, too.  It’s good to have lived while they’re making a country.  I’ve done it.  You’re going to.”

THE END
