Chapter 30

Robbed of a trunk of jewelry--Only a small stock left--A terrible calamity--Collapsed--An empty sample-case my sole possession--Peddling polish again--Making a raise--Unintentional generosity breaks me up--Meeting an old partner--The wholesaler supplies me with jewelry--Hus'ling again with great success--Making six hundred dollars in one day--My health fails me--I return to Ohio--A physician gives me but two years to live--How I fooled him.
