'No matter,' he says, 'I daresay there are lots of men in your line of trade--perhaps you can recommend me to a good firm ?' 'I could recommend you to a dozen extra-good firms,' I answered.

'But I can do better for you.

I'll give you the name and address of a private buyer who, I haven't the least doubt, will be very glad to buy that set from you and will give you a big price.' 'Write it down,' he says, 'and thank you for your trouble.' So I gave him a bit of advice as to the price he ought to get, and I wrote the name and address of the man I referred to on the back of one of my cards." "Whose name and address ?" asked Spargo.
"Mr.Nicholas Cardlestone, 2, Pilcox Buildings, Middle Temple Lane," replied Mr.Criedir.

"Mr.Cardlestone is one of the most enthusiastic and accomplished philatelists in Europe.

And I knew he didn't possess that set of stamps." "I know Mr.Cardlestone," remarked Spargo.
