would not even trust one OF his Gle ks

letter was marked 'private'-a need
less precaution. for Harold Dynevor
would be sure to keep it's contents from

three months will be all too short for
you to get the needed capital. | need
not assure you of my most earnest
sympathy. Still, the amount. though
large, Is not preposterous, and IL ought
TO be possible to arrange things. Any
now, by his letter you have Ave

But, brave as was the resolve. Har-

would have been a hard task even in
