"
I
do
not
,
"
said
Butler
.
"
He
did
n't
ask
for
money
,
you
say
?
"
"
He
wants
me
to
l'ave
a
hundred
thousand
he
has
of
mine
until
he
sees
whether
he
can
get
through
or
not
.
"
"
Stener
is
really
out
of
town
,
I
suppose
?
"
Mollenhauer
was
innately
suspicious
.
"
So
Cowperwood
says
.
We
can
send
and
find
out
.
"
Mollenhauer
was
thinking
of
the
various
aspects
of
the
case
.
Supporting
the
market
would
be
all
very
well
if
that
would
save
Cowperwood
,
and
the
Republican
party
and
his
treasurer
.
At
the
same
time
Stener
could
then
be
compelled
to
restore
the
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
the
city
treasury
,
and
release
his
holdings
to
some
one
--
preferably
to
him
--
Mollenhauer
.
But
here
was
Butler
also
to
be
considered
in
this
matter
.
What
might
he
not
want
?
He
consulted
with
Butler
and
learned
that
Cowperwood
had
agreed
to
return
the
five
hundred
thousand
in
case
he
could
get
it
together
.
The
various
street-car
holdings
were
not
asked
after
.
But
what
assurance
had
any
one
that
Cowperwood
could
be
so
saved
?
And
could
,
or
would
get
the
money
together
?
And
if
he
were
saved
would
he
give
the
money
back
to
Stener
?
If
he
required
actual
money
,
who
would
loan
it
to
him
in
a
time
like
this
--
in
case
a
sharp
panic
was
imminent
?
What
security
could
he
give
?
On
the
other
hand
,
under
pressure
from
the
right
parties
he
might
be
made
to
surrender
all
his
street-railway
holdings
for
a
song
--
his
and
Stener
's
.
If
he
(
Mollenhauer
)
could
get
them
he
would
not
particularly
care
whether
the
election
was
lost
this
fall
or
not
,
although
he
felt
satisfied
,
as
had
Owen
,
that
it
would
not
be
lost
.
It
could
be
bought
,
as
usual
.
The
defalcation
--
if
Cowperwood
's
failure
made
Stener
's
loan
into
one
--
could
be
concealed
long
enough
,
Mollenhauer
thought
,
to
win
.
Personally
as
it
came
to
him
now
he
would
prefer
to
frighten
Stener
into
refusing
Cowperwood
additional
aid
,
and
then
raid
the
latter
's
street-railway
stock
in
combination
with
everybody
else
's
,
for
that
matter
--
Simpson
's
and
Butler
's
included
.
One
of
the
big
sources
of
future
wealth
in
Philadelphia
lay
in
these
lines
.
For
the
present
,
however
,
he
had
to
pretend
an
interest
in
saving
the
party
at
the
polls
.
"
I
ca
n't
speak
for
the
Senator
,
that
's
sure
,
"
pursued
Mollenhauer
,
reflectively
.
"
I
do
n't
know
what
he
may
think
.
As
for
myself
,
I
am
perfectly
willing
to
do
what
I
can
to
keep
up
the
price
of
stocks
,
if
that
will
do
any
good
.
I
would
do
so
naturally
in
order
to
protect
my
loans
.
The
thing
that
we
ought
to
be
thinking
about
,
in
my
judgment
,
is
how
to
prevent
exposure
,
in
case
Mr.
Cowperwood
does
fail
,
until
after
election
.
We
have
no
assurance
,
of
course
,
that
however
much
we
support
the
market
we
will
be
able
to
sustain
it
.
"
"
We
have
not
,
"
replied
Butler
,
solemnly
.
