...Vagabond's mind ran on until it reached the present. What could the inmates of a house plan upon departing leave behind them? What footprints on the sands of time? Would a man dare to touch the smooth serenity of a Dunster fireplace? Could he scrawl on H. A. Q. '32 upon a new white slab. Alas, what chance has any man to leave behind him a little unremembered act, to write his name upon the panels of the future? Such are the penalties of sophistication, such the trials of luxury.

Gaining skill, he went to London, opened a gaudy gaming place in Kensington, and as "The Honorable Lionel Musgrave, United States Senator," collected $800,000 from British sportsmen before he found it wise to depart. In Ceylon his fame spread when he swindled an Indian jewel merchant out of a basket of gems worth $250,000. In 1913, before Philadelphia police closed "The National Old Age Pension Bureau," he had made $50,000 more. As old age came upon Mr. Woodward he looked back upon...
