Frau Krop quivered with excite- ment, joy and the triumph of a great speculative coup, for which she took all credit to herself. Her mind did not really entertain a realizing sense of a sum of money beyond about fty dollars-a.n amount for which she had astandard of approximation in the ordinary value of a cow. She talked of thousands as she heard others talked, but comprehended them no more . than metaphysicians grasp the conceptions of unbounded space and limitless time, about which they prate so glibly. Even. the tangible pile of forty five dollar notes dazed her with a sense of vastness that seemed to include ample provision for Jacob's happy future.
