Here Is The Strange Story OF Mr.X

The chief Characteristic of Y was
his restless ambition for which the
Negro world of New York at that
time offered little outlet. Soon Ne
gro New York saw y no more-like
many others he had "crossed over the

X had retired there came cry Of

had disappeared. No one ever knew
whether it was case of suicide or
of foul play. y, however, proceeded
on the mission, completed it with
great success, returned from his ac-
complishment.
Having a gift for finance, X took
the money ne received and began
speculating in Wall Street. Fortune
alternately smiled and frowned upon
him-he won and lost many sizable
fortunes. Immensely wealthy or flat
broke, X presented the same counte-
nance and appearance to the world.
Had he chosen the stage or gambling
with cards instead of stocks his inn
perturbable savoir faire would have
doubtless brought him equal success.
He was always immaculate and his
tailor was one of the best in New
York.
