That

is

what

I

thought

,

"

commented

Cowperwood

,

easily

.

"

They

ca

n't

take

this

up

for

you

?

Is

that

it

?

Saturated

?

"

Saturated

,

"

agreed

Mr.

Stackpole

,

dully

.

"

But

there

's

one

thing

I

'd

have

to

stipulate

in

accepting

a

loan

on

these

.

Not

a

share

must

be

thrown

on

the

market

,

or

,

at

least

,

not

before

I

have

failed

to

respond

to

your

call

.

I

have

understood

that

there

is

a

little

feeling

between

you

and

Mr.

Hand

and

the

other

gentlemen

I

have

mentioned

.

But

,

as

I

say

--

and

I

'm

talking

perfectly

frankly

now

--

I

'm

in

a

corner

,

and

it

's

any

port

in

a

storm

.

If

you

want

to

help

me

I

'll

make

the

best

terms

I

can

,

and

I

wo

n't

forget

the

favor

.

He

opened

the

bag

and

began

to

take

out

the

securities

--

long

greenish-yellow

bundles

,

tightly

gripped

in

the

center

by

thick

elastic

bands

.

They

were

in

bundles

of

one

thousand

shares

each

.

Since

Stackpole

half

proffered

them

to

him

,

Cowperwood

took

them

in

one

hand

and

lightly

weighed

them

up

and

down

.

"

I

'm

sorry

,

Mr.

Stackpole

,

"

he

said

,

sympathetically

,

after

a

moment

of

apparent

reflection

,

"

but

I

can

not

possibly

help

you

in

this

matter

.

I

'm

too

involved

in

other

things

myself

,

and

I

do

not

often

indulge

in

stock-peculations

of

any

kind

.

I

have

no

particular

malice

toward

any

one

of

the

gentlemen

you

mention

.

I

do

not

trouble

to

dislike

all

who

dislike

me

.

I

might

,

of

course

,

if

I

chose

,

take

these

stocks

and

pay

them

out

and

throw

them

on

the

market

to-morrow

,

but

I

have

no

desire

to

do

anything

of

the

sort

.

I

only

wish

I

could

help

you

,

and

if

I

thought

I

could

carry

them

safely

for

three

or

four

months

I

would

.

As

it

is

--

"

He

lifted

his

eyebrows

sympathetically

.

"

Have

you

tried

all

the

bankers

in

town

?

"

"

Practically

every

one

.

And

they

ca

n't

help

you

?

"

"

They

are

carrying

all

they

can

stand

now

.

"

"

Too

bad

.

I

'm

sorry

,

very

.

By

the

way

,

do

you

happen

,

by

any

chance

,

to

know

Mr.

Millard

Bailey

or

Mr.

Edwin

Kaffrath

?
