Last week, faithful readers, if
there are any left, followed the
enthralling, if not appalling, ac-
count of my meteoric career in
t• he financial world. ,
I had suggested that I felt l
„was being caught in the middle
of . a great ' financial squeeze
when someone offered. to buy
Me. Peel -Elder stock at $13' a
share. I smelled something
peculiar and promised I'd try
to get to the bottom of it.
I haven't, but I hate to part
"with those twenty-five shares of
Peel -Elder. I4ve had them as
long as I've had my wife. '
They are all that's left of my
second and final savage attack
on the stock 'Market. My ,first
was rather deflating, as 'I 'men-
tioned last week.
But the second time around,
• I •°didn't take any chances. It
was only when a trusted stock-
broker told me Eldridge Mines
was going tp be the hottest
thing on the market, that I
c• arefully bought 1,000 shares.
They cost me $330, The broker
was a former prisoner -of -war,
so could be trusted implicitly.
The stock held firm, went up
about five cents a share in a
week, and this time there. ac-
tually' was a producing gold
,.mine. I reckoned, I was . in
Biscuit City, as we say in these
•parts. •
w What nobody told die was - of .bullion in -the process.
that there was more money in . And here's something else
gravel than there was in gold, that puziles me. After thirty-

The offer to buy rne out, from

rather ' sternly_ that ,the offer
will expire July -23rd. '
If I accept the offer, I will
