Needless
to
say
,
Mollenhauer
was
greatly
gratified
by
this
turn
of
affairs
.
Cowperwood
was
now
most
likely
in
a
position
where
he
would
have
to
come
and
see
him
,
or
if
not
,
a
good
share
of
the
properties
he
controlled
were
already
in
Mollenhauer
's
possession
.
If
by
some
hook
or
crook
he
could
secure
the
remainder
,
Simpson
and
Butler
might
well
talk
to
him
about
this
street-railway
business
.
His
holdings
were
now
as
large
as
any
,
if
not
quite
the
largest
.
It
was
in
the
face
of
this
very
altered
situation
that
Cowperwood
arrived
at
Stener
's
office
late
this
Monday
afternoon
.
Stener
was
quite
alone
,
worried
and
distraught
.
He
was
anxious
to
see
Cowperwood
,
and
at
the
same
time
afraid
.
"
George
,
"
began
Cowperwood
,
briskly
,
on
seeing
him
,
"
I
have
n't
much
time
to
spare
now
,
but
I
've
come
,
finally
,
to
tell
you
that
you
'll
have
to
let
me
have
three
hundred
thousand
more
if
you
do
n't
want
me
to
fail
.
Things
are
looking
very
bad
today
.
They
've
caught
me
in
a
corner
on
my
loans
;
but
this
storm
is
n't
going
to
last
.
You
can
see
by
the
very
character
of
it
that
it
ca
n't
.
"
He
was
looking
at
Stener
's
face
,
and
seeing
fear
and
a
pained
and
yet
very
definite
necessity
for
opposition
written
there
.
"
Chicago
is
burning
,
but
it
will
be
built
up
again
.
Business
will
be
all
the
better
for
it
later
on
.
Now
,
I
want
you
to
be
reasonable
and
help
me
.
Do
n't
get
frightened
.
"
Stener
stirred
uneasily
.
"
Do
n't
let
these
politicians
scare
you
to
death
.
It
will
all
blow
over
in
a
few
days
,
and
then
we
'll
be
better
off
than
ever
.
Did
you
see
Mollenhauer
?
"
"
Yes
.
"
"
Well
,
what
did
he
have
to
say
?
"
"
He
said
just
what
I
thought
he
'd
say
.
He
wo
n't
let
me
do
this
.
I
ca
n't
,
Frank
,
I
tell
you
!
"
exclaimed
Stener
,
jumping
up
.
He
was
so
nervous
that
he
had
had
a
hard
time
keeping
his
seat
during
this
short
,
direct
conversation
.
"
I
ca
n't
!
They
've
got
me
in
a
corner
!
They
're
after
me
!
They
all
know
what
we
've
been
doing
.
Oh
,
say
,
Frank
"
--
he
threw
up
his
arms
wildly
--
"
you
've
got
to
get
me
out
of
this
.
You
've
got
to
let
me
have
that
five
hundred
thousand
back
and
get
me
out
of
this
.
If
you
do
n't
,
and
you
should
fail
,
they
'll
send
me
to
the
penitentiary
.
I
've
got
a
wife
and
four
children
,
Frank
.
I
ca
n't
go
on
in
this
.
It
's
too
big
for
me
.
I
never
should
have
gone
in
on
it
in
the
first
place
.
I
never
would
have
if
you
had
n't
persuaded
me
,
in
a
way
.
I
never
thought
when
I
began
that
I
would
ever
get
in
as
bad
as
all
this
.
I
ca
n't
go
on
,
Frank
.
I
ca
n't
!
I
'm
willing
you
should
have
all
my
stock
.
Only
give
me
back
that
five
hundred
thousand
,
and
we
'll
call
it
even
.
"
His
voice
rose
nervously
as
he
talked
,
and
he
wiped
his
wet
forehead
with
his
hand
and
stared
at
Cowperwood
pleadingly
,
foolishly
.
