"
Will
it
?
"
commented
Mr.
Hand
,
sourly
.
"
That
depends
on
what
happens
next
November
.
"
(
He
was
referring
to
the
coming
national
election
.
)
"
Yes
,
I
know
,
"
sighed
Mr.
Stackpole
,
seeing
that
it
was
a
condition
,
and
not
a
theory
,
that
confronted
him
.
Then
,
suddenly
clenching
his
right
hand
,
he
exclaimed
,
"
Damn
that
upstart
!
"
(
He
was
thinking
of
the
"
Apostle
of
Free
Silver
.
"
)
"
He
's
the
cause
of
all
this
.
Well
,
if
there
's
nothing
to
be
done
I
might
as
well
be
going
.
There
's
all
those
shares
we
bought
to-day
which
we
ought
to
be
able
to
hypothecate
with
somebody
.
It
would
be
something
if
we
could
get
even
a
hundred
and
twenty
on
them
.
"
"
Very
true
,
"
replied
Hand
.
"
I
wish
it
could
be
done
.
I
,
personally
,
can
not
sink
any
more
money
.
But
why
do
n't
you
go
and
see
Schryhart
and
Arneel
?
I
've
been
talking
to
them
,
and
they
seem
to
be
in
a
position
similar
to
my
own
;
but
if
they
are
willing
to
confer
,
I
am
.
I
do
n't
see
what
's
to
be
done
,
but
it
may
be
that
all
of
us
together
might
arrange
some
way
of
heading
off
the
slaughter
of
the
stock
to-morrow
.
I
do
n't
know
.
If
only
we
do
n't
have
to
suffer
too
great
a
decline
.
"
Mr.
Hand
was
thinking
that
Messrs.
Hull
and
Stackpole
might
be
forced
to
part
with
all
their
remaining
holdings
at
fifty
cents
on
the
dollar
or
less
.
Then
if
it
could
possibly
be
taken
and
carried
by
the
united
banks
for
them
(
Schryhart
,
himself
,
Arneel
)
and
sold
at
a
profit
later
,
he
and
his
associates
might
recoup
some
of
their
losses
.
The
local
banks
at
the
behest
of
the
big
quadrumvirate
might
be
coerced
into
straining
their
resources
still
further
.
But
how
was
this
to
be
done
?
How
,
indeed
?
It
was
Schryhart
who
,
in
pumping
and
digging
at
Stackpole
when
he
finally
arrived
there
,
managed
to
extract
from
him
the
truth
in
regard
to
his
visit
to
Cowperwood
.
As
a
matter
of
fact
,
Schryhart
himself
had
been
guilty
this
very
day
of
having
thrown
two
thousand
shares
of
American
Match
on
the
market
unknown
to
his
confreres
.
Naturally
,
he
was
eager
to
learn
whether
Stackpole
or
any
one
else
had
the
least
suspicion
that
he
was
involved
.
As
a
consequence
he
questioned
Stackpole
closely
,
and
the
latter
,
being
anxious
as
to
the
outcome
of
his
own
interests
,
was
not
unwilling
to
make
a
clean
breast
.
He
had
the
justification
in
his
own
mind
that
the
quadrumvirate
had
been
ready
to
desert
him
anyhow
.
"
Why
did
you
go
to
him
?
"
exclaimed
Schryhart
,
professing
to
be
greatly
astonished
and
annoyed
,
as
,
indeed
,
in
one
sense
he
was
.
"
I
thought
we
had
a
distinct
understanding
in
the
beginning
that
under
no
circumstances
was
he
to
be
included
in
any
portion
of
this
.
You
might
as
well
go
to
the
devil
himself
for
assistance
as
go
there
.
"
At
the
same
time
he
was
thinking
"
How
fortunate
!
"
Here
was
not
only
a
loophole
for
himself
in
connection
with
his
own
subtle
side-plays
,
but
also
,
if
the
quadrumvirate
desired
,
an
excuse
for
deserting
the
troublesome
fortunes
of
Hull
&
Stackpole
.
"
Well
,
the
truth
is
,
"
replied
Stackpole
,
somewhat
sheepishly
and
yet
defiantly
,
"
last
Thursday
I
had
fifteen
thousand
shares
on
which
I
had
to
raise
money
.
Neither
you
nor
any
of
the
others
wanted
any
more
.
The
banks
would
n't
take
them
.
I
called
up
Rambaud
on
a
chance
,
and
he
suggested
Cowperwood
.
"
As
has
been
related
,
Stackpole
had
really
gone
to
Cowperwood
direct
,
but
a
lie
under
the
circumstances
seemed
rather
essential
.
