"Well! It "figgers" out just 49,275 times, and my courage fails me. "Lucky, lucky Jim" may call down blessings on your head some day, if he ever learns that you loaded the dice on him. Say, is it a weekly or monthly publication that this new and interesting serial is running in? Am waiting for another issue before replying. Love to all. Ruth"
