strong to be resisted. John Burt had
just terminated a campaign which had
netted him nearly a million in profit,

successful. Blake saw a chance and
took it. With nerve and skill he
forced stock to a point where vic
tory seemed certain; but an unfore-
seen event ruined his chances at the
moment when the spell Of ill-luck
seemed broken. The market turned,
