Now will everybody please sit still until they are called upon specifically to rise I had been every kind of fool except one. I had expended my patrimony pretended my matrimony played poker lawn-tennis and bucket-shops--parted soon with my money in many ways. But there remained one rule of the wearer of cap and bells that I had not played. That was the Seeker after Buried Treasure. To few does the delectable furor come. But of all the would-be followers in the hoof- prints of King Midas none has found a pursuit so rich in pleasurable promise. But going back from my theme a while--as lame pens must do--I was a fool of the sentimental soft. I saw May Martha Mangum and was hers. She was eighteen the color of the white ivory keys of a new piano beautiful and possessed by the exquisite solemnity and pathetic witchery of an unsophisticated angel doomed to live in a small dull Texas prairie-town. She had a spirit and charm that could have enabled her to pluck rubies like raspberries from the crown of Belgium or any other sporty kingdom but she did not know it and I did not paint the picture for her. You see I wanted May Martha Mangum for to have and to hold. I wanted her to abide with me and put my slippers and pipe away every day in places where they cannot be found of evenings. May Martha s father was a man hidden behind whiskers and spectacles. He lived for bugs and butterflies and all insects that fly or crawl or buzz or get down your back or in the butter. He was an etymologist or words to that effect. He spent his life seining the air for flying fish of the June-bug order and then sticking pins through em and calling em names. He and May Martha were the whole family. He prized her highly as a fine specimen of the racibus humanus because she saw that he had food at times and put his clothes on right side before and kept his alcohol-bottles filled. Scientists they say are apt to be absent- minded. .
