It
's
a
case
of
dog
eat
dog
in
this
game
and
this
particular
situation
and
it
's
up
to
us
to
save
ourselves
against
everybody
or
go
down
together
,
and
that
's
just
what
I
'm
here
to
tell
you
.
Mollenhauer
does
n't
care
any
more
for
you
to-day
than
he
does
for
that
lamp-post
.
It
is
n't
that
money
you
've
paid
out
to
me
that
's
worrying
him
,
but
who
's
getting
something
for
it
and
what
.
Well
they
know
that
you
and
I
are
getting
street-railways
,
do
n't
you
see
,
and
they
do
n't
want
us
to
have
them
.
Once
they
get
those
out
of
our
hands
they
wo
n't
waste
another
day
on
you
or
me
.
Ca
n't
you
see
that
?
Once
we
've
lost
all
we
've
invested
,
you
're
down
and
so
am
I
--
and
no
one
is
going
to
turn
a
hand
for
you
or
me
politically
or
in
any
other
way
.
I
want
you
to
understand
that
,
George
,
because
it
's
true
.
And
before
you
say
you
wo
n't
or
you
will
do
anything
because
Mollenhauer
says
so
,
you
want
to
think
over
what
I
have
to
tell
you
.
"
He
was
in
front
of
Stener
now
,
looking
him
directly
in
the
eye
and
by
the
kinetic
force
of
his
mental
way
attempting
to
make
Stener
take
the
one
step
that
might
save
him
--
Cowperwood
--
however
little
in
the
long
run
it
might
do
for
Stener
.
And
,
more
interesting
still
,
he
did
not
care
.
Stener
,
as
he
saw
him
now
,
was
a
pawn
in
whosoever
's
hands
he
happened
to
be
at
the
time
,
and
despite
Mr.
Mollenhauer
and
Mr.
Simpson
and
Mr.
Butler
he
proposed
to
attempt
to
keep
him
in
his
own
hands
if
possible
.
And
so
he
stood
there
looking
at
him
as
might
a
snake
at
a
bird
determined
to
galvanize
him
into
selfish
self-interest
if
possible
.
But
Stener
was
so
frightened
that
at
the
moment
it
looked
as
though
there
was
little
to
be
done
with
him
.
His
face
was
a
grayish-blue
:
his
eyelids
and
eye
rings
puffy
and
his
hands
and
lips
moist
.
God
,
what
a
hole
he
was
in
now
!
"
Say
that
's
all
right
,
Frank
,
"
he
exclaimed
desperately
.
"
I
know
what
you
say
is
true
.
But
look
at
me
and
my
position
,
if
I
do
give
you
this
money
.
What
ca
n't
they
do
to
me
,
and
wo
n't
.
If
you
only
look
at
it
from
my
point
of
view
.
If
only
you
had
n't
gone
to
Butler
before
you
saw
me
.
"
"
As
though
I
could
see
you
,
George
,
when
you
were
off
duck
shooting
and
when
I
was
wiring
everywhere
I
knew
to
try
to
get
in
touch
with
you
.
How
could
I
?
The
situation
had
to
be
met
.
Besides
,
I
thought
Butler
was
more
friendly
to
me
than
he
proved
.
But
there
's
no
use
being
angry
with
me
now
,
George
,
for
going
to
Butler
as
I
did
,
and
anyhow
you
ca
n't
afford
to
be
now
.
We
're
in
this
thing
together
.
It
's
a
case
of
sink
or
swim
for
just
us
two
--
not
any
one
else
--
just
us
--
do
n't
you
get
that
?
Butler
could
n't
or
would
n't
do
what
I
wanted
him
to
do
--
get
Mollenhauer
and
Simpson
to
support
the
market
.
Instead
of
that
they
are
hammering
it
.
They
have
a
game
of
their
own
.
It
's
to
shake
us
out
--
ca
n't
you
see
that
?
Take
everything
that
you
and
I
have
gathered
.
It
is
up
to
you
and
me
,
George
,
to
save
ourselves
,
and
that
's
what
I
'm
here
for
now
.
If
you
do
n't
let
me
have
three
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
--
three
hundred
thousand
,
anyhow
--
you
and
I
are
ruined
.
It
will
be
worse
for
you
,
George
,
than
for
me
,
for
I
'm
not
involved
in
this
thing
in
any
way
--
not
legally
,
anyhow
.
But
that
's
not
what
I
'm
thinking
of
.
What
I
want
to
do
is
to
save
us
both
--
put
us
on
easy
street
for
the
rest
of
our
lives
,
whatever
they
say
or
do
,
and
it
's
in
your
power
,
with
my
help
,
to
do
that
for
both
of
us
.
Ca
n't
you
see
that
?
I
want
to
save
my
business
so
then
I
can
help
you
to
save
your
name
and
money
.
"
He
paused
,
hoping
this
had
convinced
Stener
,
but
the
latter
was
still
shaking
.
"
But
what
can
I
do
,
Frank
?
"
he
pleaded
,
weakly
.
"
I
ca
n't
go
against
Mollenhauer
.
They
can
prosecute
me
if
I
do
that
.
They
can
do
it
,
anyhow
.
I
ca
n't
do
that
.
I
'm
not
strong
enough
.
If
they
did
n't
know
,
if
you
had
n't
told
them
,
it
might
be
different
,
but
this
way
--
"
He
shook
his
head
sadly
,
his
gray
eyes
filled
with
a
pale
distress
.
"
George
,
"
replied
Cowperwood
,
who
realized
now
that
only
the
sternest
arguments
would
have
any
effect
here
,
"
do
n't
talk
about
what
I
did
.
What
I
did
I
had
to
do
.
You
're
in
danger
of
losing
your
head
and
your
nerve
and
making
a
serious
mistake
here
,
and
I
do
n't
want
to
see
you
make
it
.
I
have
five
hundred
thousand
of
the
city
's
money
invested
for
you
--
partly
for
me
,
and
partly
for
you
,
but
more
for
you
than
for
me
"
--
which
,
by
the
way
,
was
not
true
--
"
and
here
you
are
hesitating
in
an
hour
like
this
as
to
whether
you
will
protect
your
interest
or
not
.
I
ca
n't
understand
it
.
This
is
a
crisis
,
George
.
Stocks
are
tumbling
on
every
side
--
everybody
's
stocks
.
You
're
not
alone
in
this
--
neither
am
I
.
This
is
a
panic
,
brought
on
by
a
fire
,
and
you
ca
n't
expect
to
come
out
of
a
panic
alive
unless
you
do
something
to
protect
yourself
.
You
say
you
owe
your
place
to
Mollenhauer
and
that
you
're
afraid
of
what
he
'll
do
.
If
you
look
at
your
own
situation
and
mine
,
you
'll
see
that
it
does
n't
make
much
difference
what
he
does
,
so
long
as
I
do
n't
fail
.
If
I
fail
,
where
are
you
?
Who
's
going
to
save
you
from
prosecution
?
Will
Mollenhauer
or
any
one
else
come
forward
and
put
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
the
treasury
for
you
?
He
will
not
.
If
Mollenhauer
and
the
others
have
your
interests
at
heart
,
why
are
n't
they
helping
me
on
'
change
today
?
I
'll
tell
you
why
.
They
want
your
street-railway
holdings
and
mine
,
and
they
do
n't
care
whether
you
go
to
jail
afterward
or
not
.
Now
if
you
're
wise
you
will
listen
to
me
.
I
've
been
loyal
to
you
,
have
n't
I
?
You
've
made
money
through
me
--
lots
of
it
.
If
you
're
wise
,
George
,
you
'll
go
to
your
office
and
write
me
your
check
for
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
,
anyhow
,
before
you
do
a
single
other
thing
.
Do
n't
see
anybody
and
do
n't
do
anything
till
you
've
done
that
.
You
ca
n't
be
hung
any
more
for
a
sheep
than
you
can
for
a
lamb
.
No
one
can
prevent
you
from
giving
me
that
check
.
You
're
the
city
treasurer
.
Once
I
have
that
I
can
see
my
way
out
of
this
,
and
I
'll
pay
it
all
back
to
you
next
week
or
the
week
after
--
this
panic
is
sure
to
end
in
that
time
.
With
that
put
back
in
the
treasury
we
can
see
them
about
the
five
hundred
thousand
a
little
later
.
In
three
months
,
or
less
,
I
can
fix
it
so
that
you
can
put
that
back
.
As
a
matter
of
fact
,
I
can
do
it
in
fifteen
days
once
I
am
on
my
feet
again
.
Time
is
all
I
want
.
You
wo
n't
have
lost
your
holdings
and
nobody
will
cause
you
any
trouble
if
you
put
the
money
back
.
They
do
n't
care
to
risk
a
scandal
any
more
than
you
do
.
Now
what
'll
you
do
,
George
?
Mollenhauer
ca
n't
stop
you
from
doing
this
any
more
than
I
can
make
you
.
Your
life
is
in
your
own
hands
.
What
will
you
do
?
