Opportunity and fortune rise from a half dollar tale
A tale from the New York Sun recounts two travelers separated by a half dollar. One offers work for 2.50 a week but declines when the other lends him the money.

The fates of those who chase luck diverge as the story shifts to other anecdotes from Lahore and London.
