sneered
Schryhart
.
"
Cowperwood
's
man
--
he
and
all
the
others
.
You
could
n't
have
gone
to
a
worse
crowd
if
you
had
tried
.
So
that
's
where
this
stock
is
coming
from
,
beyond
a
doubt
.
That
fellow
or
his
friends
are
selling
us
out
.
You
might
have
known
he
'd
do
it
.
He
hates
us
.
So
you
're
through
,
are
you
?
--
not
another
single
trick
to
turn
?
"
"
Not
one
,
"
replied
Stackpole
,
solemnly
.
"
Well
,
that
's
too
bad
.
You
have
acted
most
unwisely
in
going
to
Cowperwood
;
but
we
shall
have
to
see
what
can
be
done
.
"
Schryhart
's
idea
,
like
that
of
Hand
,
was
to
cause
Hull
&
Stackpole
to
relinquish
all
their
holdings
for
nothing
to
the
banks
in
order
that
,
under
pressure
,
the
latter
might
carry
the
stocks
he
and
the
others
had
hypothecated
with
them
until
such
a
time
as
the
company
might
be
organized
at
a
profit
.
At
the
same
time
he
was
intensely
resentful
against
Cowperwood
for
having
by
any
fluke
of
circumstance
reaped
so
large
a
profit
as
he
must
have
done
.
Plainly
,
the
present
crisis
had
something
to
do
with
him
.
Schryhart
was
quick
to
call
up
Hand
and
Arneel
,
after
Stackpole
had
gone
,
suggesting
a
conference
,
and
together
,
an
hour
later
,
at
Arneel
's
office
,
they
foregathered
along
with
Merrill
to
discuss
this
new
and
very
interesting
development
.
As
a
matter
of
fact
,
during
the
course
of
the
afternoon
all
of
these
gentlemen
had
been
growing
more
and
more
uneasy
.
Not
that
between
them
they
were
not
eminently
capable
of
taking
care
of
their
own
losses
,
but
the
sympathetic
effect
of
such
a
failure
as
this
(
twenty
million
dollars
)
,
to
say
nothing
of
its
reaction
upon
the
honor
of
themselves
and
the
city
as
a
financial
center
,
was
a
most
unsatisfactory
if
not
disastrous
thing
to
contemplate
,
and
now
this
matter
of
Cowperwood
's
having
gained
handsomely
by
it
all
was
added
to
their
misery
.
Both
Hand
and
Arneel
growled
in
opposition
when
they
heard
,
and
Merrill
meditated
,
as
he
usually
did
,
on
the
wonder
of
Cowperwood
's
subtlety
.
He
could
not
help
liking
him
.
There
is
a
sort
of
municipal
pride
latent
in
the
bosoms
of
most
members
of
a
really
thriving
community
which
often
comes
to
the
surface
under
the
most
trying
circumstances
.
These
four
men
were
by
no
means
an
exception
to
this
rule
.
Messrs.
Schryhart
,
Hand
,
Arneel
,
and
Merrill
were
concerned
as
to
the
good
name
of
Chicago
and
their
united
standing
in
the
eyes
of
Eastern
financiers
.
It
was
a
sad
blow
to
them
to
think
that
the
one
great
enterprise
they
had
recently
engineered
--
a
foil
to
some
of
the
immense
affairs
which
had
recently
had
their
geneses
in
New
York
and
elsewhere
--
should
have
come
to
so
untimely
an
end
.
Chicago
finance
really
should
not
be
put
to
shame
in
this
fashion
if
it
could
be
avoided
.
So
that
when
Mr.
Schryhart
arrived
,
quite
warm
and
disturbed
,
and
related
in
detail
what
he
had
just
learned
,
his
friends
listened
to
him
with
eager
and
wary
ears
.
It
was
now
between
five
and
six
o'clock
in
the
afternoon
and
still
blazing
outside
,
though
the
walls
of
the
buildings
on
the
opposite
side
of
the
street
were
a
cool
gray
,
picked
out
with
pools
of
black
shadow
.
A
newsboy
's
strident
voice
was
heard
here
and
there
calling
an
extra
,
mingled
with
the
sound
of
homing
feet
and
street-cars
--
Cowperwood
's
street-cars
.
"
I
'll
tell
you
what
it
is
,
"
said
Scbryhart
,
finally
.
"
It
seems
to
me
we
have
stood
just
about
enough
of
this
man
's
beggarly
interference
.
I
'll
admit
that
neither
Hull
nor
Stackpole
had
any
right
to
go
to
him
.
They
laid
themselves
and
us
open
to
just
such
a
trick
as
has
been
worked
in
this
case
.
"
Mr.
Schryhart
was
righteously
incisive
,
cold
,
immaculate
,
waspish
.
"
At
the
same
time
,
"
he
continued
,
"
any
other
moneyed
man
of
equal
standing
with
ourselves
would
have
had
the
courtesy
to
confer
with
us
and
give
us
,
or
at
least
our
banks
,
an
opportunity
for
taking
over
these
securities
.
He
would
have
come
to
our
aid
for
Chicago
's
sake
.
He
had
no
occasion
for
throwing
these
stocks
on
the
market
,
considering
the
state
of
things
.
He
knows
very
well
what
the
effect
of
their
failure
will
be
.
The
whole
city
is
involved
,
but
it
's
little
he
cares
.
Mr.
Stackpole
tells
me
that
he
had
an
express
understanding
with
him
,
or
,
rather
,
with
the
men
who
it
is
plain
have
been
representing
him
,
that
not
a
single
share
of
this
stock
was
to
be
thrown
on
the
market
.
As
it
is
,
I
venture
to
say
not
a
single
share
of
it
is
to
be
found
anywhere
in
any
of
their
safes
.
I
can
sympathize
to
a
certain
extent
with
poor
Stackpole
.
His
position
,
of
course
,
was
very
trying
.
But
there
is
no
excuse
--
none
in
the
world
--
for
such
a
stroke
of
trickery
on
Cowperwood
's
part
.
It
's
just
as
we
've
known
all
along
--
the
man
is
nothing
but
a
wrecker
.
We
certainly
ought
to
find
some
method
of
ending
his
career
here
if
possible
.
"
Mr.
Schryhart
kicked
out
his
well-rounded
legs
,
adjusted
his
soft-roll
collar
,
and
smoothed
his
short
,
crisp
,
wiry
,
now
blackish-gray
mustache
.
His
black
eyes
flashed
an
undying
hate
.
