Not
finding
him
at
his
office
,
he
drove
direct
to
his
house
.
Here
he
was
not
surprised
to
meet
Stener
just
coming
out
,
looking
very
pale
and
distraught
.
At
the
sight
of
Cowperwood
he
actually
blanched
.
"
Why
,
hello
,
Frank
,
"
he
exclaimed
,
sheepishly
,
"
where
do
you
come
from
?
"
"
What
's
up
,
George
?
"
asked
Cowperwood
.
"
I
thought
you
were
coming
into
Broad
Street
.
"
"
So
I
was
,
"
returned
Stener
,
foolishly
,
"
but
I
thought
I
would
get
off
at
West
Philadelphia
and
change
my
clothes
.
I
've
a
lot
of
things
to
'
tend
to
yet
this
afternoon
.
I
was
coming
in
to
see
you
.
"
After
Cowperwood
's
urgent
telegram
this
was
silly
,
but
the
young
banker
let
it
pass
.
"
Jump
in
,
George
,
"
he
said
.
"
I
have
something
very
important
to
talk
to
you
about
.
I
told
you
in
my
telegram
about
the
likelihood
of
a
panic
.
It
's
on
.
There
is
n't
a
moment
to
lose
.
Stocks
are
'
way
down
,
and
most
of
my
loans
are
being
called
.
I
want
to
know
if
you
wo
n't
let
me
have
three
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
for
a
few
days
at
four
or
five
per
cent
.
I
'll
pay
it
all
back
to
you
.
I
need
it
very
badly
.
If
I
do
n't
get
it
I
'm
likely
to
fail
.
You
know
what
that
means
,
George
.
It
will
tie
up
every
dollar
I
have
.
Those
street-car
holdings
of
yours
will
be
tied
up
with
me
.
I
wo
n't
be
able
to
let
you
realize
on
them
,
and
that
will
put
those
loans
of
mine
from
the
treasury
in
bad
shape
.
You
wo
n't
be
able
to
put
the
money
back
,
and
you
know
what
that
means
.
We
're
in
this
thing
together
.
I
want
to
see
you
through
safely
,
but
I
ca
n't
do
it
without
your
help
.
I
had
to
go
to
Butler
last
night
to
see
about
a
loan
of
his
,
and
I
'm
doing
my
best
to
get
money
from
other
sources
.
But
I
ca
n't
see
my
way
through
on
this
,
I
'm
afraid
,
unless
you
're
willing
to
help
me
.
"
Cowperwood
paused
.
He
wanted
to
put
the
whole
case
clearly
and
succinctly
to
him
before
he
had
a
chance
to
refuse
--
to
make
him
realize
it
as
his
own
predicament
.
As
a
matter
of
fact
,
what
Cowperwood
had
keenly
suspected
was
literally
true
.
Stener
had
been
reached
.
The
moment
Butler
and
Simpson
had
left
him
the
night
before
,
Mollenhauer
had
sent
for
his
very
able
secretary
,
Abner
Sengstack
,
and
despatched
him
to
learn
the
truth
about
Stener
's
whereabouts
.
Sengstack
had
then
sent
a
long
wire
to
Strobik
,
who
was
with
Stener
,
urging
him
to
caution
the
latter
against
Cowperwood
.
The
state
of
the
treasury
was
known
.
Stener
and
Strobik
were
to
be
met
by
Sengstack
at
Wilmington
(
this
to
forefend
against
the
possibility
of
Cowperwood
's
reaching
Stener
first
)
--
and
the
whole
state
of
affairs
made
perfectly
plain
.
No
more
money
was
to
be
used
under
penalty
of
prosecution
.
If
Stener
wanted
to
see
any
one
he
must
see
Mollenhauer
.
Sengstack
,
having
received
a
telegram
from
Strobik
informing
him
of
their
proposed
arrival
at
noon
the
next
day
,
had
proceeded
to
Wilmington
to
meet
them
.
The
result
was
that
Stener
did
not
come
direct
into
the
business
heart
of
the
city
,
but
instead
got
off
at
West
Philadelphia
,
proposing
to
go
first
to
his
house
to
change
his
clothes
and
then
to
see
Mollenhauer
before
meeting
Cowperwood
.
He
was
very
badly
frightened
and
wanted
time
to
think
.
"
I
ca
n't
do
it
,
Frank
,
"
he
pleaded
,
piteously
.
"
I
'm
in
pretty
bad
in
this
matter
.
Mollenhauer
's
secretary
met
the
train
out
at
Wilmington
just
now
to
warn
me
against
this
situation
,
and
Strobik
is
against
it
.
They
know
how
much
money
I
've
got
outstanding
.
You
or
somebody
has
told
them
.
I
ca
n't
go
against
Mollenhauer
.
I
owe
everything
I
've
got
to
him
,
in
a
way
.
He
got
me
this
place
.
"
"
Listen
,
George
.
Whatever
you
do
at
this
time
,
do
n't
let
this
political
loyalty
stuff
cloud
your
judgment
.
You
're
in
a
very
serious
position
and
so
am
I
.
If
you
do
n't
act
for
yourself
with
me
now
no
one
is
going
to
act
for
you
--
now
or
later
--
no
one
.
And
later
will
be
too
late
.
I
proved
that
last
night
when
I
went
to
Butler
to
get
help
for
the
two
of
us
.
They
all
know
about
this
business
of
our
street-railway
holdings
and
they
want
to
shake
us
out
and
that
's
the
big
and
little
of
it
--
nothing
more
and
nothing
less
.
