Next morning the following "personal" appeared in the "Levant Herald:"

"P-ll-m-r-r.--All is over. The S-lt-n cleared his shelves of the old

stock at midnight. If you purchased the Circ-n B-ties with the money

I advanced, be sure you don't keep them too long on hand. Prices are

sure to fall when I have done buying for the H-r-m. Meet me at time

and place agreed upon, and divide profits. G--d V--r."
