of his life. He accepted an offer to tour

Manuscripts as Security.

AS a guarantee the poet handed over TO
del GuzZo the manuscripts of six of his
published novels. which he claimed were
worth at least $1,000.
AS a ''fervent admirer' del GuzZo
could not very we'll reject this guarantee,
but at the same time he bought from the
Bank of Rome the first mortgage on the
