It will require an outsider to discover it." "I am very much opposed to the idea," said Bince. "These fellows usually do nothing more than disrupt an organization. We have a force that has been here, many of them, for years.
A moment later Bince and Jimmy left the office together. Jimmy still carried the pistol in his hand. "You'd better put that thing in your pocket," cautioned Bince. They were in the small office on which Compton's and Bince's offices opened, and Jimmy had stopped beside the desk that had been placed there for him. "I think I'll leave it here," he said.
He handed Murray the slip of soiled wrapping paper with the threat lettered upon it. "This was received with your letter." Murray hesitated before replying. "Oh," he said, "that ain't nothing. That was just a little joke." "You were seen in Feinheimer's with Mr. Bince on March Do you recall the object of this meeting?" "Mr.
"The International Machine Company's pay-roll is confidential, absolutely confidential. Nobody sees it but me or Mr. Compton if he wishes to." "I understood from Mr. Compton," said Jimmy, "that I was to have full access to all records." "That merely applied to operation records," said Bince. "It had nothing to do with the pay-roll."
Compton left the office earlier than usual, complaining of a headache, and the next morning his daughter telephoned that he was ill and would not come to the office that day. During the morning as Bince was walking through the shop he stopped to talk with Krovac. Pete Krovac was a rat-faced little foreigner, looked upon among the men as a trouble-maker.
Bince was feeling more cheerful. Murray had assured him that there was a way out. He would not tell Bince what the way was. "Just leave it to me," he said. "The less you know, the better off you'll be. What you want is to get rid of this fresh guy and have all the papers in a certain vault destroyed. You see to it that only the papers you want destroyed are in that vault, and I'll do the rest."
Unlike most other plants the International Machine Company paid on Monday, and it was on the Monday following his assumption of his new duties that Jimmy had his first clash with Bince. He had been talking with Everett, the cashier, whom, in accordance with his "method," he was studying. From Everett he had learned that it was pay-day and he had asked the cashier to let him see the pay-roll.
"Principally the increased cost of labor," replied Bince. "The same holds true of everybody else. Every manufacturer in the country is in the same plight we are." "I know," agreed Compton, "that that is true to some measure. Both labor and raw materials have advanced, but we have advanced our prices correspondingly.
"Just the thing!" exclaimed Bince; "just the thing for him. The long sea voyage will do him a world of good. And now," he said, stepping to her side and putting an arm around her. She pushed him gently away. "No," she said; "I do not feel like kissing now," and turning she entered her father's office, followed by Bince.
The girl looked up quickly at the speaker, whose tones seemed unnecessarily vehement. "I don't quite understand," she said, "why you should take the matter so to heart. Father is the best judge of his own condition, and, while he may need a rest, I cannot see that he is in any immediate danger." "Oh, well," replied Bince irritably, "I just wanted him to get away for his own sake.
