Sixty-eight
,
I
think
.
"
"
The
current
market
rate
.
He
does
n't
want
much
,
does
he
?
Well
,
George
,
at
that
rate
it
will
take
about
"
--
he
calculated
quickly
on
the
basis
of
the
number
of
shares
Cotton
was
holding
--
"
one
hundred
and
twenty
thousand
to
get
him
out
alone
.
That
is
n't
all
.
There
's
Judge
Kitchen
and
Joseph
Zimmerman
and
Senator
Donovan
"
--
he
was
referring
to
the
State
senator
of
that
name
.
"
You
'll
be
paying
a
pretty
fair
price
for
that
stud
when
you
get
it
.
It
will
cost
considerable
more
to
extend
the
line
.
It
's
too
much
,
I
think
.
"
Cowperwood
was
thinking
how
easy
it
would
be
to
combine
this
line
with
his
dreamed-of
Seventeenth
and
Nineteenth
Street
line
,
and
after
a
time
and
with
this
in
view
he
added
:
"
Say
,
George
,
why
do
you
work
all
your
schemes
through
Strobik
and
Harmon
and
Wycroft
?
Could
n't
you
and
I
manage
some
of
these
things
for
ourselves
alone
instead
of
for
three
or
four
?
It
seems
to
me
that
plan
would
be
much
more
profitable
to
you
.
"
"
It
would
,
it
would
!
"
exclaimed
Stener
,
his
round
eyes
fixed
on
Cowperwood
in
a
rather
helpless
,
appealing
way
.
He
liked
Cowperwood
and
had
always
been
hoping
that
mentally
as
well
as
financially
he
could
get
close
to
him
.
"
I
've
thought
of
that
.
But
these
fellows
have
had
more
experience
in
these
matters
than
I
have
had
,
Frank
.
They
've
been
longer
at
the
game
.
I
do
n't
know
as
much
about
these
things
as
they
do
.
"
Cowperwood
smiled
in
his
soul
,
though
his
face
remained
passive
.
"
Do
n't
worry
about
them
,
George
,
"
he
continued
genially
and
confidentially
.
"
You
and
I
together
can
know
and
do
as
much
as
they
ever
could
and
more
.
I
'm
telling
you
.
Take
this
railroad
deal
you
're
in
on
now
,
George
;
you
and
I
could
manipulate
that
just
as
well
and
better
than
it
can
be
done
with
Wycroft
,
Strobik
,
and
Harmon
in
on
it
.
They
're
not
adding
anything
to
the
wisdom
of
the
situation
.
They
're
not
putting
up
any
money
.
You
're
doing
that
.
All
they
're
doing
is
agreeing
to
see
it
through
the
legislature
and
the
council
,
and
as
far
as
the
legislature
is
concerned
,
they
ca
n't
do
any
more
with
that
than
any
one
else
could
--
than
I
could
,
for
instance
.
It
's
all
a
question
of
arranging
things
with
Relihan
,
anyhow
,
putting
up
a
certain
amount
of
money
for
him
to
work
with
.
Here
in
town
there
are
other
people
who
can
reach
the
council
just
as
well
as
Strobik
.
"
He
was
thinking
(
once
he
controlled
a
road
of
his
own
)
of
conferring
with
Butler
and
getting
him
to
use
his
influence
.
It
would
serve
to
quiet
Strobik
and
his
friends
.
"
I
'm
not
asking
you
to
change
your
plans
on
this
North
Pennsylvania
deal
.
You
could
n't
do
that
very
well
.
But
there
are
other
things
.
In
the
future
why
not
let
's
see
if
you
and
I
ca
n't
work
some
one
thing
together
?
You
'll
be
much
better
off
,
and
so
will
I.
We
've
done
pretty
well
on
the
city-loan
proposition
so
far
,
have
n't
we
?
"
The
truth
was
,
they
had
done
exceedingly
well
.
Aside
from
what
the
higher
powers
had
made
,
Stener
's
new
house
,
his
lots
,
his
bank-account
,
his
good
clothes
,
and
his
changed
and
comfortable
sense
of
life
were
largely
due
to
Cowperwood
's
successful
manipulation
of
these
city-loan
certificates
.
Already
there
had
been
four
issues
of
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
each
.
Cowperwood
had
bought
and
sold
nearly
three
million
dollars
'
worth
of
these
certificates
,
acting
one
time
as
a
"
bull
"
and
another
as
a
"
bear
.
"
Stener
was
now
worth
all
of
one
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
.
