"President Elkins, of the L. & G. W., who, perhaps, knows more than any other person as to the situation and value of the various Trescott properties, could not be seen last night. He went to Chicago on Wednesday, and yesterday wired his partner, Mr. Barslow, that business had called him on to New York, where he would remain for some time."
"Barslow," he said, with the air of a man who has endured to the limit, "you are a good fellow, but you make me tired when you talk like that. Why, four weeks ago I had no more show than a snowball in in the crater of Vesuvius. But now I'm encouraged.
Oh, I tell you, Barslow, sometimes I feel as if I could Yes, sir, it'll be accepted as the best piece of railroad building for years!" I was surprised at the sudden transition, until I saw that our fellow passengers were crowding to our end of the car in response to the conductor's announcement that we were coming into Elkins Junction.
"The way Barslow puts these property matters," said he, "you are called upon to think that all arrangements have been made upon a cold cash basis; and, actually, that's the fact. But you mustn't either of you think that in dealing with you we have forgotten that you are dear to us friends.

"Mr. Barslow is some years under middle age, and looks the intense modern business man in every feature.
The psychological moment has arrived you have brought it with you, Mrs. Barslow. The moon-flower of Lattimore's 'gradual, healthy growth' is going to burst, and that right soon." "Has Captain Tolliver infected you?" inquired Alice. "He told us the same thing, with less of tropes and figures."
I found him impassive and keen-eyed, and I waited longer than usual for that aquiline swoop of his, as he turned in his revolving chair. I felt sure then that he had not read the message. I think differently now. "Well, Mr. Barslow," said he smilingly, "how far down in the millions are we to-day?" "Mr.
Pray for me, Barslow, pray for me!" This despairing condition of Giddings's was a sort of continuing sensation with us at that time.
