Hurstwood
made
arrangements
with
one
of
the
instalment
houses
whereby
they
furnished
the
flat
complete
and
accepted
fifty
dollars
down
and
ten
dollars
a
month
.
He
then
had
a
little
plate
,
bearing
the
name
G
.
W
.
Wheeler
,
made
,
which
he
placed
on
his
letter
-
box
in
the
hall
.
It
sounded
exceedingly
odd
to
Carrie
to
be
called
Mrs
.
Wheeler
by
the
janitor
,
but
in
time
she
became
used
to
it
and
looked
upon
the
name
as
her
own
.
These
house
details
settled
,
Hurstwood
visited
some
of
the
advertised
opportunities
to
purchase
an
interest
in
some
flourishing
down
-
town
bar
.
After
the
palatial
resort
in
Adams
Street
,
he
could
not
stomach
the
commonplace
saloons
which
he
found
advertised
.
He
lost
a
number
of
days
looking
up
these
and
finding
them
disagreeable
.
He
did
,
however
,
gain
considerable
knowledge
by
talking
,
for
he
discovered
the
influence
of
Tammany
Hall
and
the
value
of
standing
in
with
the
police
.
The
most
profitable
and
flourishing
places
he
found
to
be
those
which
conducted
anything
but
a
legitimate
business
,
such
as
that
controlled
by
Fitzgerald
and
Moy
.
Elegant
back
rooms
and
private
drinking
booths
on
the
second
floor
were
usually
adjuncts
of
very
profitable
places
.
He
saw
by
portly
keepers
,
whose
shirt
fronts
shone
with
large
diamonds
,
and
whose
clothes
were
properly
cut
,
that
the
liquor
business
here
,
as
elsewhere
,
yielded
the
same
golden
profit
.
At
last
he
found
an
individual
who
had
a
resort
in
Warren
Street
,
which
seemed
an
excellent
venture
.
It
was
fairly
well
-
appearing
and
susceptible
of
improvement
.
The
owner
claimed
the
business
to
be
excellent
,
and
it
certainly
looked
so
.
“
We
deal
with
a
very
good
class
of
people
,
”
he
told
Hurstwood
.
“
Merchants
,
salesmen
,
and
professionals
.
It
’
s
a
well
-
dressed
class
.
No
bums
.
We
don
’
t
allow
’
em
in
the
place
.
”
Hurstwood
listened
to
the
cash
-
register
ring
,
and
watched
the
trade
for
a
while
.
“
It
’
s
profitable
enough
for
two
,
is
it
?
”
he
asked
.
“
You
can
see
for
yourself
if
you
’
re
any
judge
of
the
liquor
trade
,
”
said
the
owner
.
“
This
is
only
one
of
the
two
places
I
have
.
The
other
is
down
in
Nassau
Street
.
I
can
’
t
tend
to
them
both
alone
.
If
I
had
some
one
who
knew
the
business
thoroughly
I
wouldn
’
t
mind
sharing
with
him
in
this
one
and
letting
him
manage
it
.
”
“
I
’
ve
had
experience
enough
,
”
said
Hurstwood
blandly
,
but
he
felt
a
little
diffident
about
referring
to
Fitzgerald
and
Moy
.
“
Well
,
you
can
suit
yourself
,
Mr
.
Wheeler
,
”
said
the
proprietor
.
