But
I
can
’
t
take
advantage
of
that
rise
in
value
so
long
as
you
won
’
t
sell
,
so
long
as
I
don
’
t
own
it
.
You
’
re
blocking
me
.

“
But
,
according
to
you
,
the
railroad
can
’
t
take
advantage
of
the
rise
in
any
case
.
According
to
you
,
you
can
sell
for
twenty
dollars
,
but
we
can
only
get
two
and
a
half
.

“
Who
made
it
worth
twenty
?
”
cried
Annixter
.
“
I
’
ve
improved
it
up
to
that
figure
.
Genslinger
seems
to
have
that
idea
in
his
nut
,
too
.
Do
you
people
think
you
can
hold
that
land
,
untaxed
,
for
speculative
purposes
until
it
goes
up
to
thirty
dollars
and
then
sell
out
to
some
one
else
—
sell
it
over
our
heads
?
You
and
Genslinger
weren
’
t
in
office
when
those
contracts
were
drawn
.
You
ask
your
boss
,
you
ask
S
.
Behrman
,
he
knows
.
The
General
Office
is
pledged
to
sell
to
us
in
preference
to
any
one
else
,
for
two
and
a
half
.
”
“
Well
,
”
observed
Ruggles
decidedly
,
tapping
the
end
of
his
pencil
on
his
desk
and
leaning
forward
to
emphasise
his
words
,
“
we
’
re
not
selling
NOW
.
That
’
s
said
and
signed
,
Mr
.
Annixter
.
”
“
Why
not
?
Come
,
spit
it
out
.
What
’
s
the
bunco
game
this
time
?
”
“
Because
we
’
re
not
ready
.
Here
’
s
your
check
.
”
“
You
won
’
t
take
it
?
”
“
No
.
”
“
I
’
ll
make
it
a
cash
payment
,
money
down
—
the
whole
of
it
—
payable
to
Cyrus
Blakelee
Ruggles
,
for
the
P

and
S
