...stockholder in the usual industrial concern generally has little difficulty in assuring himself of the tangible properties back of his engraved certificates.

But Jonny followed her to Switzerland for it, jumped in her window one morning, recovered it and had it for his jazz until Daniello recognized its tone over the radio and set the police on him.
