"
Well
,
Mr.
Hand
,
"
he
exclaimed
,
wearily
,
"
I
've
done
all
I
can
.
Hull
and
I
have
kept
the
market
fairly
stable
so
far
.
You
saw
what
happened
between
ten
and
eleven
this
morning
.
The
jig
's
up
.
We
've
borrowed
our
last
dollar
and
hypothecated
our
last
share
.
My
personal
fortune
has
gone
into
the
balance
,
and
so
has
Hull
's
.
Some
one
of
the
outside
stockholders
,
or
all
of
them
,
are
cutting
the
ground
from
under
us
.
Fourteen
thousand
shares
since
ten
o'clock
this
morning
!
That
tells
the
story
.
It
ca
n't
be
done
just
now
--
not
unless
you
gentlemen
are
prepared
to
go
much
further
than
you
have
yet
gone
.
If
we
could
organize
a
pool
to
take
care
of
fifteen
thousand
more
shares
--
"
Mr.
Stackpole
paused
,
for
Mr.
Hand
was
holding
up
a
fat
,
pink
digit
.
"
No
more
of
that
,
"
he
was
saying
,
solemnly
.
"
It
ca
n't
be
done
.
I
,
for
one
,
wo
n't
sink
another
dollar
in
this
proposition
at
this
time
.
I
'd
rather
throw
what
I
have
on
the
market
and
take
what
I
can
get
.
I
am
sure
the
others
feel
the
same
way
.
"
Mr.
Hand
,
to
play
safe
,
had
hypothecated
nearly
all
his
shares
with
various
banks
in
order
to
release
his
money
for
other
purposes
,
and
he
knew
he
would
not
dare
to
throw
over
all
his
holdings
,
just
as
he
knew
he
would
have
to
make
good
at
the
figure
at
which
they
had
been
margined
.
But
it
was
a
fine
threat
to
make
.
Mr.
Stackpole
stared
ox-like
at
Mr.
Hand
.
"
Very
well
,
"
he
said
,
"
I
might
as
well
go
back
,
then
,
and
post
a
notice
on
our
front
door
.
We
bought
fourteen
thousand
shares
and
held
the
market
where
it
is
,
but
we
have
n't
a
dollar
to
pay
for
them
with
.
Unless
the
banks
or
some
one
will
take
them
over
for
us
we
're
gone
--
we
're
bankrupt
.
"
Mr.
Hand
,
who
knew
that
if
Mr.
Stackpole
carried
out
this
decision
it
meant
the
loss
of
his
one
million
five
hundred
thousand
,
halted
mentally
.
"
Have
you
been
to
all
the
banks
?
"
he
asked
.
"
What
does
Lawrence
,
of
the
Prairie
National
,
have
to
say
?
"
"
It
's
the
same
with
all
of
them
,
"
replied
Stackpole
,
now
quite
desperate
,
"
as
it
is
with
you
.
They
have
all
they
can
carry
--
every
one
.
It
's
this
damned
silver
agitation
--
that
's
it
,
and
nothing
else
.
There
's
nothing
the
matter
with
this
stock
.
It
will
right
itself
in
a
few
months
.
It
's
sure
to
.
"
