That
is
all
I
want
.
"
He
stepped
aside
and
out
of
the
general
room
,
where
the
blinds
were
drawn
,
into
his
private
office
,
in
order
to
give
his
creditors
an
opportunity
to
confer
privately
in
regard
to
his
situation
.
He
had
friends
in
the
meeting
who
were
for
him
.
He
waited
one
,
two
,
nearly
three
hours
while
they
talked
.
Finally
Walter
Leigh
,
Judge
Kitchen
,
Avery
Stone
,
of
Jay
Cooke
&
Co.
,
and
several
others
came
in
.
They
were
a
committee
appointed
to
gather
further
information
.
"
Nothing
more
can
be
done
to-day
,
Frank
,
"
Walter
Leigh
informed
him
,
quietly
.
"
The
majority
want
the
privilege
of
examining
the
books
.
There
is
some
uncertainty
about
this
entanglement
with
the
city
treasurer
which
you
say
exists
.
They
feel
that
you
'd
better
announce
a
temporary
suspension
,
anyhow
;
and
if
they
want
to
let
you
resume
later
they
can
do
so
.
"
"
I
'm
sorry
for
that
,
gentlemen
,
"
replied
Cowperwood
,
the
least
bit
depressed
.
"
I
would
rather
do
anything
than
suspend
for
one
hour
,
if
I
could
help
it
,
for
I
know
just
what
it
means
.
You
will
find
assets
here
far
exceeding
the
liabilities
if
you
will
take
the
stocks
at
their
normal
market
value
;
but
that
wo
n't
help
any
if
I
close
my
doors
.
The
public
wo
n't
believe
in
me
.
I
ought
to
keep
open
.
"
"
Sorry
,
Frank
,
old
boy
,
"
observed
Leigh
,
pressing
his
hand
affectionately
.
"
If
it
were
left
to
me
personally
,
you
could
have
all
the
time
you
want
.
There
's
a
crowd
of
old
fogies
out
there
that
wo
n't
listen
to
reason
.
They
're
panic-struck
.
I
guess
they
're
pretty
hard
hit
themselves
.
You
can
scarcely
blame
them
.
You
'll
come
out
all
right
,
though
I
wish
you
did
n't
have
to
shut
up
shop
.
We
ca
n't
do
anything
with
them
,
however
.
Why
,
damn
it
,
man
,
I
do
n't
see
how
you
can
fail
,
really
.
In
ten
days
these
stocks
will
be
all
right
.
"
Judge
Kitchen
commiserated
with
him
also
;
but
what
good
did
that
do
?
He
was
being
compelled
to
suspend
.
An
expert
accountant
would
have
to
come
in
and
go
over
his
books
.
Butler
might
spread
the
news
of
this
city-treasury
connection
.
Stener
might
complain
of
this
last
city-loan
transaction
.
A
half-dozen
of
his
helpful
friends
stayed
with
him
until
four
o'clock
in
the
morning
;
but
he
had
to
suspend
just
the
same
.
And
when
he
did
that
,
he
knew
he
was
seriously
crippled
if
not
ultimately
defeated
in
his
race
for
wealth
and
fame
.
When
he
was
really
and
finally
quite
alone
in
his
private
bedroom
he
stared
at
himself
in
the
mirror
.
His
face
was
pale
and
tired
,
he
thought
,
but
strong
and
effective
.
"
Pshaw
!
"
he
said
to
himself
,
"
I
'm
not
whipped
.
I
'm
still
young
.
I
'll
get
out
of
this
in
some
way
yet
.
Certainly
I
will
.
I
'll
find
some
way
out
.
"
And
so
,
cogitating
heavily
,
wearily
,
he
began
to
undress
.
Finally
he
sank
upon
his
bed
,
and
in
a
little
while
,
strange
as
it
may
seem
,
with
all
the
tangle
of
trouble
around
him
,
slept
.
He
could
do
that
--
sleep
and
gurgle
most
peacefully
,
the
while
his
father
paced
the
floor
in
his
room
,
refusing
to
be
comforted
.
All
was
dark
before
the
older
man
--
the
future
hopeless
Before
the
younger
man
was
still
hope
.
