A
little
later
Schryhart
,
meeting
Duane
Kingsland
,
learned
the
true
source
of
Hand
's
feeling
against
Cowperwood
,
and
was
not
slow
in
transferring
this
titbit
to
Merrill
,
Simms
,
and
others
.
Merrill
,
who
,
though
Cowperwood
had
refused
to
extend
his
La
Salle
Street
tunnel
loop
about
State
Street
and
his
store
,
had
hitherto
always
liked
him
after
a
fashion
--
remotely
admired
his
courage
and
daring
--
was
now
appropriately
shocked
.
"
Why
,
Anson
,
"
observed
Schryhart
,
"
the
man
is
no
good
.
He
has
the
heart
of
a
hyena
and
the
friendliness
of
a
scorpion
.
You
heard
how
he
treated
Hand
,
did
n't
you
?
"
"
No
,
"
replied
Merrill
,
"
I
did
n't
.
"
"
Well
,
it
's
this
way
,
so
I
hear
.
"
And
Schryhart
leaned
over
and
confidentially
communicated
considerable
information
into
Mr.
Merrill
's
left
ear
.
The
latter
raised
his
eyebrows
.
"
Indeed
!
"
he
said
.
"
And
the
way
he
came
to
meet
her
,
"
added
Schryhart
,
contemptuously
,
"
was
this
.
He
went
to
Hand
originally
to
borrow
two
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
on
West
Chicago
Street
Railway
.
Angry
?
The
word
is
no
name
for
it
.
"
"
You
do
n't
say
so
,
"
commented
Merrill
,
dryly
,
though
privately
interested
and
fascinated
,
for
Mrs.
Hand
had
always
seemed
very
attractive
to
him
.
"
I
do
n't
wonder
.
"
He
recalled
that
his
own
wife
had
recently
insisted
on
inviting
Cowperwood
once
.
Similarly
Hand
,
meeting
Arneel
not
so
long
afterward
,
confided
to
him
that
Cowperwood
was
trying
to
repudiate
a
sacred
agreement
.
Arneel
was
grieved
and
surprised
.
It
was
enough
for
him
to
know
that
Hand
had
been
seriously
injured
.
Between
the
two
of
them
they
now
decided
to
indicate
to
Addison
,
as
president
of
the
Lake
City
Bank
,
that
all
relations
with
Cowperwood
and
the
Chicago
Trust
Company
must
cease
.
The
result
of
this
was
,
not
long
after
,
that
Addison
,
very
suave
and
gracious
,
agreed
to
give
Cowperwood
due
warning
that
all
his
loans
would
have
to
be
taken
care
of
and
then
resigned
--
to
become
,
seven
months
later
,
president
of
the
Chicago
Trust
Company
.
This
desertion
created
a
great
stir
at
the
time
,
astonishing
the
very
men
who
had
suspected
that
it
might
come
to
pass
.
The
papers
were
full
of
it
.
