Cowperwood
's
just
been
here
,
"
he
said
to
Owen
,
who
had
been
rapidly
coming
into
a
sound
financial
understanding
of
late
,
and
was
already
a
shrewder
man
politically
and
socially
than
his
father
,
though
he
had
not
the
latter
's
magnetism
.
"
He
's
been
tellin
'
me
that
he
's
in
a
rather
tight
place
.
You
hear
that
?
"
he
continued
,
as
some
voice
in
the
distance
was
calling
"
Extra
!
Extra
!
"
"
That
's
Chicago
burnin
'
,
and
there
's
goin
'
to
be
trouble
on
the
stock
exchange
to-morrow
.
We
have
a
lot
of
our
street-railway
stocks
around
at
the
different
banks
.
If
we
do
n't
look
sharp
they
'll
be
callin
'
our
loans
.
We
have
to
'
tend
to
that
the
first
thing
in
the
mornin
'
.
Cowperwood
has
a
hundred
thousand
of
mine
with
him
that
he
wants
me
to
let
stay
there
,
and
he
has
some
money
that
belongs
to
Stener
,
he
tells
me
.
"
"
Stener
?
"
asked
Owen
,
curiously
.
"
Has
he
been
dabbling
in
stocks
?
"
Owen
had
heard
some
rumors
concerning
Stener
and
others
only
very
recently
,
which
he
had
not
credited
nor
yet
communicated
to
his
father
.
"
How
much
money
of
his
has
Cowperwood
?
"
he
asked
.
Butler
meditated
.
"
Quite
a
bit
,
I
'm
afraid
,
"
he
finally
said
.
"
As
a
matter
of
fact
,
it
's
a
great
deal
--
about
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
.
If
that
should
become
known
,
it
would
be
makin
'
a
good
deal
of
noise
,
I
'm
thinkin
'
.
"
"
Whew
!
"
exclaimed
Owen
in
astonishment
.
"
Five
hundred
thousand
dollars
!
Good
Lord
,
father
!
Do
you
mean
to
say
Stener
has
got
away
with
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
?
Why
,
I
would
n't
think
he
was
clever
enough
to
do
that
.
Five
hundred
thousand
dollars
!
It
will
make
a
nice
row
if
that
comes
out
.
"
"
Aisy
,
now
!
Aisy
,
now
!
"
replied
Butler
,
doing
his
best
to
keep
all
phases
of
the
situation
in
mind
.
"
We
ca
n't
tell
exactly
what
the
circumstances
were
yet
.
He
may
n't
have
meant
to
take
so
much
.
It
may
all
come
out
all
right
yet
.
The
money
's
invested
.
Cowperwood
has
n't
failed
yet
.
It
may
be
put
back
.
The
thing
to
be
settled
on
now
is
whether
anything
can
be
done
to
save
him
.
If
he
's
tellin
'
me
the
truth
--
and
I
never
knew
him
to
lie
--
he
can
get
out
of
this
if
street-railway
stocks
do
n't
break
too
heavy
in
the
mornin
'
.
I
'm
going
over
to
see
Henry
Mollenhauer
and
Mark
Simpson
.
They
're
in
on
this
.
Cowperwood
wanted
me
to
see
if
I
could
n't
get
them
to
get
the
bankers
together
and
have
them
stand
by
the
market
.
He
thought
we
might
protect
our
loans
by
comin
'
on
and
buyin
'
and
holdin
'
up
the
price
.
"
Owen
was
running
swiftly
in
his
mind
over
Cowperwood
's
affairs
--
as
much
as
he
knew
of
them
.
He
felt
keenly
that
the
banker
ought
to
be
shaken
out
.
This
dilemma
was
his
fault
,
not
Stener
's
--
he
felt
.
It
was
strange
to
him
that
his
father
did
not
see
it
and
resent
it
.
"
You
see
what
it
is
,
father
,
"
he
said
,
dramatically
,
after
a
time
.
"
Cowperwood
's
been
using
this
money
of
Stener
's
to
pick
up
stocks
,
and
he
's
in
a
hole
.
If
it
had
n't
been
for
this
fire
he
'd
have
got
away
with
it
;
but
now
he
wants
you
and
Simpson
and
Mollenhauer
and
the
others
to
pull
him
out
.
He
's
a
nice
fellow
,
and
I
like
him
fairly
well
;
but
you
're
a
fool
if
you
do
as
he
wants
you
to
.
He
has
more
than
belongs
to
him
already
.
I
heard
the
other
day
that
he
has
the
Front
Street
line
,
and
almost
all
of
Green
and
Coates
;
and
that
he
and
Stener
own
the
Seventeenth
and
Nineteenth
;
but
I
did
n't
believe
it
.
I
've
been
intending
to
ask
you
about
it
.
I
think
Cowperwood
has
a
majority
for
himself
stowed
away
somewhere
in
every
instance
.
Stener
is
just
a
pawn
.
He
moves
him
around
where
he
pleases
.
"
Owen
's
eyes
gleamed
avariciously
,
opposingly
.
Cowperwood
ought
to
be
punished
,
sold
out
,
driven
out
of
the
street-railway
business
in
which
Owen
was
anxious
to
rise
.
