Old Lady Holds Eric Bonds

Question: have six $1,000 mortgage
bonds of the Erie Railroad and had them
for years. and they are per cent first
mortgages. They are extending the time
and would you advise me to extend them
lady and would like your advice. read
your paper every day,-(Mrs.) NJ. f. B.
Answer-We regard the Erie per
cent bonds as very good investment.
This bond has been through reorgan-
izaton and is fairly we'll secured. At
present the Erie is not doing very well.
They are looking for better times. If
you feel that you desire to take no
risk, you could, of course, dispose of
these bonds and invest the proceeds in
a better security. Ask your broker to
tell you about the railroad equipment
issues, which yield per cent. They
are very we'll secured and perhaps for
your purposes they will be more desir-
able than its Fries

al eht to fifteen or sixteen years Will you
please suggest at least four such switches.
ii there are any? say four because l
prefer to have not over Soon in any one
security except Liberties.-HSFD. A.
Answer-In New York City corporate
stock you must realize that you possess
one Of the best investments there is.
Not only are they we'll secured, but
they are exempt from all forms of tax
alton If you switch these securities
into bonds offering a higher yield you
viii be weakening your investment po-
sition. There are, of course, several
issues of railroad securities which, in
our opinion, are safe enough for your
purposes, provided you realize that
they cannot be expected to he of as
high grade as the bonds you already
own. The present price of the New
York City 3i2 per cent is about 10,
while the per cent sells for about 81,
Baltimore & Ohio prior lien 312 per
cent, due 1925, are secured by first lien
on 702 miles and by first collateral lien
on 375 miles, total of l OFT miles Of
road. While Baltimore & Ohio has not
operated we'll during government con
troll. this bond, in our opinion, is well
enough secured, so that even in the
event of reorganization it would be un-
disturbed. The yield to maturity i
over per cent. The price is about 80
Union Pacific convert BILE A per cent

operation earned more than the amount
of the guaranty. The road pays per
cent on $100,000,000 preferred stock
and 10 per cent on 1921 100000 common

one. The yield to maturity is 100 per

thing, but it couldn't be heard. The
bartender set out a long row Of glasses.
The river men grew suddenly quiet
with the gurgle Of the filling.
Each man picked up a glass and
stood waiting until every other man
was served. The crowd was too occu-
pied to notice 1t, but the Pearlhunter's
knees were fairly shaking under him /;
his face set and pale. He was about
to do the hardest thing he had ever
tackled in his life, even harder than
mentioning money to the Wild Rose.
He picked up his glass; set it down
pushed it back.
"Water for mine I"
To a man, the crowd whirled and
stared. Louie Solomon swore.
"Vot iss!' he said. "You make it
foolishness"

off this for keeps"

the big, formidable envelope the bank:
er gave him for the purpose, and but
toned it away in an inside pocket of
his blouse.
The little Jew had by this time put
the Blue Moon back in the plush case,
put the case in his vest pocket, and
pinned up the pocket.
"Himmel!" he grunted, turning
away from the table. "You pearl fish
ers ISIS all crazy. I'd Gift it to you a
t'ousan' more"
II got my price,"
"Undt dots more as anybody got 1t
yet from Louie Solomon"
He chuckled all the way to the door.
A small crowd waited outside. No
body knows how news leaks out in a
small town. Not a man but knew how
much the pearl had brought. One Of
the crowd, a lanky, one-eyed fisher
man, sided up to the Pearlhunter.
"Y'u got it, didn't y'u?'
The P~earlhunter was too slow, and
the little Jew answered for him.
Course he got 1t. What chance a
pore devil pearl buyer got nit de
whole town against 'im!"
That statement, or one like 1t, was
what the crowd had been waiting for.
The tension was over. The finding and
selling of the famous gem, the most
valuable pearl eve "h'isted" along the
Wabash, was now Observation-Disclosures
history. The one-eyed fisherman
chucked his hat up in the air and
yelled-a lusty cheer, in which the
crowd Joined. One would have thought
that each man there had sold a Blue
Moon-or found one.
The P%earlhunter felt a good deal as
the crowd seemed to feel-a loosening
Of the tension. For that matter, the
fat little buyer seemed to feel some
thing of the same relief. Caught up in
the crowd, both buyer and seller were
swept across the road and into the ex-
pectant door of the Mud Hen.
The Pearlhunter had just twenty-five
dollars and twenty-seven cents in his
pocket. He had counted it that morn
ing while waiting for Louie Solomon to
come. 1t was the last cent after pay
Ing his mothers funeral expenses. He
threw a pocket-worn twenty-dollar bill
on the bar and motioned to the crowd.

He couldn't have made a better
speech for the occasion. The crowd
cheered. The little Jew said some

CHAPTER VII.
The Face in the Draft.

The banker brought back the plush
case and set it down on the table. The
Jew took out his check book and be-
gan to write.
The Pearlhunter never could re-
member the thoughts that came over
him at that high moment of his life.
For all he could recall, there were no
of the throat; a relaxing Of the
muscles, as if he had dropped a load
under which he had been straining.
He didn't know it, but the old banker
was watching him. The old, embar-
RAISING question-what name to write
in the check-brought him back out
of the haze. He noticed that the
Jews hand trembled as he wrote. It
was an odd tri1e to notice, but it was
the one thing he could afterward
clearly recall.
The check, made out to "Pearlhunt-
err" was in his fingers! Five thou
sand dollars-in words, and big plain
figures! 1t was the first check he had
ever owned-the first n he had ever
seen. He was still reading it, puz-
zling over it, when the banker grasped
his hand. The banker shaking hands
with him! This was his day!
"May I have the money on this?"
"Why, my dear boy" the banker an
swered, laughing, and slapping him on
the shoulder, "there isn't that much
cash in the bank"
That was a new one on the Pearl
hunter. He had supposed a bank had
in it's vaults unlimited loads of money.
"What will I do?"
"You can draw part Of 1t, and de-
post the rest to your credit
All of which was a foreign language
to the ~Pear1hunter.
IT didn't want to use any Of the
money" he finally managed to say. 81
don't expect to spend a cent Of it for
you know-small matters. I expect
to leave it right here till I can spend
1t for something-well-big. I just
wanted to show it to a-friend."
"You might show your-friend the
check" The banker stole a glance at
Solomon gloating openly over the gem,
now that the deal was closed. mo"
he continued, "there's a better
safer, he was about to say, but didn't
-"way than that. Why not deposit
the check and take OUT a draft?"
draft? What's that?"
The old banker reached his fingers
up through his hair and studied the
man before him. Sitting down at his
desk, he wrote rapidly for a moment.
"This is a draft" he said. handing
over the slip he had been writing on
and taking the check in exchange. "It
is as good as gold anywhere, at any
bank, any time. Show 1t to your
friend, and I suggest that you after
ward bring 1t back to the bank and
deposit 1t. I will then give you a
check book and show you how to use
It."
The %Pearlhunter read the paper
oyer with curious interest, put It in
