The Tree of Gold. [Translated from the French of Alphonse Karr, by the late H. J. Richards] [for the New York Saturday Press]

A man wins an orange tree from his brother in a card game; the man later parlays that single tree into millions of trees through a stretch of unbelievable luck. The opponent gives back all he previously won from the man and much more. Thus the tree is called the tree of gold.
