John, how do I row?" he asked, when he returned from hi

 "Have you no one to take care of you?" "No; everybody here is occupied
with schemes for money-making. I can't get any one to look after me for
love or money." "Then you have no near friend or relative in Tacoma?"
"No; nor, I may say, anywhere else. I have a niece, however, in
Syracuse. She is at school. She is the only tie, the only one on whom I
have any claim." "If you need money--" began Andy, feeling a little
delicate about offering pecuniary assistance. "No, I have no need of
that kind. I suppose I look poor, for I never cared about my personal
appearance, but I am one of the largest owners of real estate in Tacoma,
besides having some thousands of dollars in a San Francisco bank. But
what good will it all do me? Here I am, sick, and perhaps near death."
"I will do what I can for you," said Andy. "I am myself a visitor in
Tacoma. I came on business for a New York gentleman. I am authorized to
buy lots in Tacoma. When you are better, I will make you an offer for
your land, if you care to sell." "Help me to get well, and you shall
have it on your own terms." "You will need some one besides myself. Do
you authorize me to hire an attendant?" "Yes, I shall be glad to have
you do so. I begin to hope for recovery, through your assistance. I had
given myself up for lost." "Then I will go out and see what I can do. Do
you authorize me to pay liberally for the service of a nurse?" "Pay
anything--fifty dollars a week, if necessary; I can afford it." "I will
go out at once. I will see if I can buy some oranges." Andy left the
hotel and walked toward the steamboat wharf. It was deserted, except by
two persons. A young man of thirty, bronzed by exposure to the weather,
who looked like a farmer, stood beside a plain, cheap trunk, on which
sat a woman somewhat younger, who had a weary and anxious look. The
young man--her husband, doubtless--seemed troubled. "Good-afternoon,"
said Andy, pleasantly. "Are you in any trouble? Is there anything I can
do for you?" "Well, my boy, I'm in a tight place. I came here from Iowa,
with my wife, expecting to meet a cousin who ha
