See
if
your
father
's
bank
wo
n't
loan
me
fifteen
thousand
on
these
,
"
he
said
to
Frank
,
one
day
,
producing
a
bundle
of
Philadelphia
&
Wilmington
shares
.
Frank
had
heard
his
father
speak
of
them
in
times
past
as
excellent
.
"
They
ought
to
be
good
,
"
the
elder
Cowperwood
said
,
dubiously
,
when
shown
the
package
of
securities
.
"
At
any
other
time
they
would
be
.
But
money
is
so
tight
.
We
find
it
awfully
hard
these
days
to
meet
our
own
obligations
.
I
'll
talk
to
Mr.
Kugel
.
"
Mr.
Kugel
was
the
president
.
There
was
a
long
conversation
--
a
long
wait
.
His
father
came
back
to
say
it
was
doubtful
whether
they
could
make
the
loan
.
Eight
per
cent.
,
then
being
secured
for
money
,
was
a
small
rate
of
interest
,
considering
its
need
.
For
ten
per
cent
.
Mr.
Kugel
might
make
a
call-loan
.
Frank
went
back
to
his
employer
,
whose
commercial
choler
rose
at
the
report
.
"
For
Heaven
's
sake
,
is
there
no
money
at
all
in
the
town
?
"
he
demanded
,
contentiously
.
"
Why
,
the
interest
they
want
is
ruinous
!
I
ca
n't
stand
that
.
Well
,
take
'em
back
and
bring
me
the
money
.
Good
God
,
this
'll
never
do
at
all
,
at
all
!
"
Frank
went
back
.
"
He
'll
pay
ten
per
cent.
,
"
he
said
,
quietly
.
Tighe
was
credited
with
a
deposit
of
fifteen
thousand
dollars
,
with
privilege
to
draw
against
it
at
once
.
He
made
out
a
check
for
the
total
fifteen
thousand
at
once
to
the
Girard
National
Bank
to
cover
a
shrinkage
there
.
So
it
went
.
During
all
these
days
young
Cowperwood
was
following
these
financial
complications
with
interest
.
He
was
not
disturbed
by
the
cause
of
slavery
,
or
the
talk
of
secession
,
or
the
general
progress
or
decline
of
the
country
,
except
in
so
far
as
it
affected
his
immediate
interests
.
He
longed
to
become
a
stable
financier
;
but
,
now
that
he
saw
the
inside
of
the
brokerage
business
,
he
was
not
so
sure
that
he
wanted
to
stay
in
it
.
Gambling
in
stocks
,
according
to
conditions
produced
by
this
panic
,
seemed
very
hazardous
.
A
number
of
brokers
failed
.
He
saw
them
rush
in
to
Tighe
with
anguished
faces
and
ask
that
certain
trades
be
canceled
.
Their
very
homes
were
in
danger
,
they
said
.
They
would
be
wiped
out
,
their
wives
and
children
put
out
on
the
street
.
This
panic
,
incidentally
,
only
made
Frank
more
certain
as
to
what
he
really
wanted
to
do
--
now
that
he
had
this
free
money
,
he
would
go
into
business
for
himself
.
Even
Tighe
's
offer
of
a
minor
partnership
failed
to
tempt
him
.
"
I
think
you
have
a
nice
business
,
"
he
explained
,
in
refusing
,
"
but
I
want
to
get
in
the
note-brokerage
business
for
myself
.
I
do
n't
trust
this
stock
game
