He
paused
,
wishing
he
had
not
mentioned
that
fact
.
It
was
a
slip
of
the
tongue
,
one
of
the
few
he
ever
made
,
due
to
the
peculiar
pressure
of
the
situation
.
Stires
pleaded
longer
.
It
was
no
use
,
Cowperwood
told
him
.
Finally
he
went
away
,
crestfallen
,
fearsome
,
broken
.
There
were
tears
of
suffering
in
his
eyes
.
Cowperwood
was
very
sorry
.
And
then
his
father
was
announced
.
The
elder
Cowperwood
brought
a
haggard
face
.
He
and
Frank
had
had
a
long
conversation
the
evening
before
,
lasting
until
early
morning
,
but
it
had
not
been
productive
of
much
save
uncertainty
.
"
Hello
,
father
!
"
exclaimed
Cowperwood
,
cheerfully
,
noting
his
father
's
gloom
.
He
was
satisfied
that
there
was
scarcely
a
coal
of
hope
to
be
raked
out
of
these
ashes
of
despair
,
but
there
was
no
use
admitting
it
.
"
Well
?
"
said
his
father
,
lifting
his
sad
eyes
in
a
peculiar
way
.
"
Well
,
it
looks
like
stormy
weather
,
does
n't
it
?
I
've
decided
to
call
a
meeting
of
my
creditors
,
father
,
and
ask
for
time
.
There
is
n't
anything
else
to
do
.
I
ca
n't
realize
enough
on
anything
to
make
it
worth
while
talking
about
.
I
thought
Stener
might
change
his
mind
,
but
he
's
worse
rather
than
better
.
His
head
bookkeeper
just
went
out
of
here
.
"
"
What
did
he
want
?
"
asked
Henry
Cowperwood
.
"
He
wanted
me
to
give
him
back
a
check
for
sixty
thousand
that
he
paid
me
for
some
city
loan
I
bought
yesterday
morning
.
"
Frank
did
not
explain
to
his
father
,
however
,
that
he
had
hypothecated
the
certificates
this
check
had
paid
for
,
and
used
the
check
itself
to
raise
money
enough
to
pay
the
Girard
National
Bank
and
to
give
himself
thirty-five
thousand
in
cash
besides
.
"
Well
,
I
declare
!
"
replied
the
old
man
.
"
You
'd
think
he
'd
have
better
sense
than
that
.
That
's
a
perfectly
legitimate
transaction
.
When
did
you
say
he
notified
you
not
to
buy
city
loan
?
"
