er or not the name OF the firm which
has failed appears in 1t. Surely you
will do that for me-"
Yes" said the banker. "for IL do

The list was made. The banker looked
through il and as he handed ii back TO
the merchant said, 1.-The name Of the
merchant who has failed is there"
"Then I've lost heavily" replied the
merchant. for that is the firm with

But how do you know that is the
