Not that I tried.
Indeed, if anything, the shoe was on the other foot. We parted
company eventually to our mutual relief, and quite unexpectedly I
found my lantern turning the breadwinner of the family. The notion
of using it as a means of advertising had long allured me. There
was a large population out on Long Island that traded in Brooklyn
stores and could be reached in that way. In fact, it proved to be
so. I made money that fall travelling through the towns and villages
and giving open-air exhibitions in which the "ads" of Brooklyn
merchants were cunningly interlarded with very beautiful colored
views, of which I had a fine collection. When the season was too
far advanced to allow of this, I established myself in a window
at Myrtle Avenue and Fulton Street and appealed to the city crowds
with my pictures. So I filled in a gap of several months, while
our people on the other side crossed themselves at my having turned
street fakir. At least we got that impression from their letters.
They were not to blame. That is their way of looking at things.
