"
I
really
do
n't
know
,
"
replied
Butler
,
who
did
not
care
to
say
what
Owen
had
told
him
on
the
drive
over
.
"
I
do
n't
see
,
"
said
Mollenhauer
,
"
unless
we
can
make
Stener
get
the
money
back
before
this
man
Cowperwood
fails
,
how
we
can
save
ourselves
from
considerable
annoyance
later
;
but
if
we
did
anything
which
would
look
as
though
we
were
going
to
compel
restitution
,
he
would
probably
shut
up
shop
anyhow
.
So
there
's
no
remedy
in
that
direction
.
And
it
would
n't
be
very
kind
to
our
friend
Edward
here
to
do
it
until
we
hear
how
he
comes
out
on
his
affair
.
"
He
was
referring
to
Butler
's
loan
.
"
Certainly
not
,
"
said
Senator
Simpson
,
with
true
political
sagacity
and
feeling
.
"
I
'll
have
that
one
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
the
mornin
'
,
"
said
Butler
,
"
and
never
fear
.
"
"
I
think
,
"
said
Simpson
,
"
if
anything
comes
of
this
matter
that
we
will
have
to
do
our
best
to
hush
it
up
until
after
the
election
.
The
newspapers
can
just
as
well
keep
silent
on
that
score
as
not
.
There
's
one
thing
I
would
suggest
"
--
and
he
was
now
thinking
of
the
street-railway
properties
which
Cowperwood
had
so
judiciously
collected
--
"
and
that
is
that
the
city
treasurer
be
cautioned
against
advancing
any
more
money
in
a
situation
of
this
kind
.
He
might
readily
be
compromised
into
advancing
much
more
.
I
suppose
a
word
from
you
,
Henry
,
would
prevent
that
.
"
"
Yes
;
I
can
do
that
,
"
said
Mollenhauer
,
solemnly
.
"
My
judgement
would
be
,
"
said
Butler
,
in
a
rather
obscure
manner
,
thinking
of
Cowperwood
's
mistake
in
appealing
to
these
noble
protectors
of
the
public
,
"
that
it
's
best
to
let
sleepin
'
dogs
run
be
thimselves
.
"
Thus
ended
Frank
Cowperwood
's
dreams
of
what
Butler
and
his
political
associates
might
do
for
him
in
his
hour
of
distress
.
The
energies
of
Cowperwood
after
leaving
Butler
were
devoted
to
the
task
of
seeing
others
who
might
be
of
some
assistance
to
him
.
He
had
left
word
with
Mrs.
Stener
that
if
any
message
came
from
her
husband
he
was
to
be
notified
at
once
.
He
hunted
up
Walter
Leigh
,
of
Drexel
&
Co.
,
Avery
Stone
of
Jay
Cooke
&
Co.
,
and
President
Davison
of
the
Girard
National
Bank
.
He
wanted
to
see
what
they
thought
of
the
situation
and
to
negotiate
a
loan
with
President
Davison
covering
all
his
real
and
personal
property
.
