Sit
down
,
sit
down
,
Mr.
Schryhart
,
"
remarked
Cowperwood
,
cheerfully
,
waving
the
new-comer
to
a
chair
.
"
I
'm
pleased
to
see
you
again
.
No
,
I
'm
no
more
anxious
for
a
rate
war
than
you
are
.
As
a
matter
of
fact
,
I
hope
to
avoid
it
;
but
,
as
you
see
,
things
have
changed
somewhat
since
I
saw
you
.
The
gentlemen
who
have
organized
and
invested
their
money
in
this
new
city
gas
company
are
perfectly
willing
--
rather
anxious
,
in
fact
--
to
go
on
and
establish
a
legitimate
business
.
They
feel
all
the
confidence
in
the
world
that
they
can
do
this
,
and
I
agree
with
them
.
A
compromise
might
be
effected
between
the
old
and
the
new
companies
,
but
not
on
the
basis
on
which
I
was
willing
to
settle
some
time
ago
.
A
new
company
has
been
organized
since
then
,
stock
issued
,
and
a
great
deal
of
money
expended
.
"
(
This
was
not
true
.
)
"
That
stock
will
have
to
figure
in
any
new
agreement
.
I
think
a
general
union
of
all
the
companies
is
desirable
,
but
it
will
have
to
be
on
a
basis
of
one
,
two
,
three
,
or
four
shares
--
whatever
is
decided
--
at
par
for
all
stock
involved
.
"
Mr.
Schryhart
pulled
a
long
face
.
"
Do
n't
you
think
that
's
rather
steep
?
"
he
said
,
solemnly
.
"
Not
at
all
,
not
at
all
!
"
replied
Cowperwood
.
"
You
know
these
new
expenditures
were
not
undertaken
voluntarily
.
"
(
The
irony
of
this
did
not
escape
Mr.
Schryhart
,
but
he
said
nothing
.
)
"
I
admit
all
that
,
but
do
n't
you
think
,
since
your
shares
are
worth
practically
nothing
at
present
,
that
you
ought
to
be
satisfied
if
they
were
accepted
at
par
?
"
"
I
ca
n't
see
why
,
"
replied
Cowperwood
.
"
Our
future
prospects
are
splendid
.
There
must
be
an
even
adjustment
here
or
nothing
.
What
I
want
to
know
is
how
much
treasury
stock
you
would
expect
to
have
in
the
safe
for
the
promotion
of
this
new
organization
after
all
the
old
stockholders
have
been
satisfied
?
"
"
Well
,
as
I
thought
before
,
from
thirty
to
forty
per
cent
.
of
the
total
issue
,
"
replied
Schryhart
,
still
hopeful
of
a
profitable
adjustment
.
"
I
should
think
it
could
be
worked
on
that
basis
.
"
"
And
who
gets
that
?
"
"
Why
,
the
organizer
,
"
said
Schryhart
,
evasively
.
"
Yourself
,
perhaps
,
and
myself
.
"
"
And
how
would
you
divide
it
?
Half
and
half
,
as
before
?
"
"
I
should
think
that
would
be
fair
.
