A CHANGE OF LUCK Scott met George at Montreal, and after spending some days there left for New York.

When he stated the time of his return, George sent for Agatha and in the evening they went to meet him at the Grand Trunk Station.

As they walked down the hill and by the Cathedral, Agatha felt excited.

She had soon discovered that it was one thing to find a silver vein and another to raise the capital one required to open up the mine and refine the ore.

The cost of these operations, as calculated by Scott, seemed enormous, and people rich enough to help either wanted the largest share of the profit or were frankly skeptical.
