Yes
;
Cavanagh
was
just
telling
me
.
It
looks
to
be
quite
serious
.
I
think
the
market
will
drop
heavily
in
the
morning
.
"
"
I
would
n't
be
surprised
myself
,
"
put
in
Mollenhauer
,
laconically
.
"
Here
's
the
paper
now
,
"
said
Butler
,
as
John
,
the
servant
,
came
in
from
the
street
bearing
the
paper
in
his
hand
.
Mollenhauer
took
it
and
spread
it
out
before
them
.
It
was
among
the
earliest
of
the
"
extras
"
that
were
issued
in
this
country
,
and
contained
a
rather
impressive
spread
of
type
announcing
that
the
conflagration
in
the
lake
city
was
growing
hourly
worse
since
its
inception
the
day
before
.
"
Well
,
that
is
certainly
dreadful
,
"
said
Simpson
.
"
I
'm
very
sorry
for
Chicago
.
I
have
many
friends
there
.
I
shall
hope
to
hear
that
it
is
not
so
bad
as
it
seems
.
"
The
man
had
a
rather
grandiloquent
manner
which
he
never
abandoned
under
any
circumstances
.
"
The
matter
that
Butler
was
telling
me
about
,
"
continued
Mollenhauer
,
"
has
something
to
do
with
this
in
a
way
.
You
know
the
habit
our
city
treasurers
have
of
loaning
out
their
money
at
two
per
cent
.
?
"
"
Yes
?
"
said
Simpson
,
inquiringly
.
"
Well
,
Mr.
Stener
,
it
seems
,
has
been
loaning
out
a
good
deal
of
the
city
's
money
to
this
young
Cowperwood
,
in
Third
Street
,
who
has
been
handling
city
loans
.
"
"
You
do
n't
say
!
"
said
Simpson
,
putting
on
an
air
of
surprise
.
"
Not
much
,
I
hope
?
"
The
Senator
,
like
Butler
and
Mollenhauer
,
was
profiting
greatly
by
cheap
loans
from
the
same
source
to
various
designated
city
depositories
.
"
Well
,
it
seems
that
Stener
has
loaned
him
as
much
as
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
,
and
if
by
any
chance
Cowperwood
should
n't
be
able
to
weather
this
storm
,
Stener
is
apt
to
be
short
that
amount
,
and
that
would
n't
look
so
good
as
a
voting
proposition
to
the
people
in
November
,
do
you
think
?
Cowperwood
owes
Mr.
Butler
here
one
hundred
thousand
dollars
,
and
because
of
that
he
came
to
see
him
to-night
.
He
wanted
Butler
to
see
if
something
could
n't
be
done
through
us
to
tide
him
over
.
If
not
"
--
he
waved
one
hand
suggestively
--
"
well
,
he
might
fail
.
