Is it because Chiawassee and the pipe-makin' ain't big enough for you?" Tom answered promptly and without apparent reserve. "The job's big enough, but I don't want to stay here and yoke up with the Farleys; they'd ruin me in a year." "Get the better of you in the business is that what you're aimin' to say?" "Not exactly. I'm still brash enough to believe I could hold my own on that score.
I've been over the books with Norman: if you can't fill your pipe contracts, the forfeitures will ruin you. And you can't fill them unless you can have Chiawassee iron, and at the present price." The old iron-master led the way back to the room of doom and took his place at the end of the trestle-board table.
The lone soldier was to take heart of grace, remembering that he had a son; remembering also that the son was now a man grown, stout of arm, steady of head, and otherwise fighting-fit. If the storm should come, the watchword must be to hold on all, keeping steerage-way on the Chiawassee Consolidated craft at all hazards.
"Spit it out," called Ludlow, from the forefront of the miners' division. "I reckon we all know what's comin'." Gordon thrust out his square jaw and gave them the fact bluntly. "It's a case of half a loaf or no bread. If Chiawassee blows in again, it will be on borrowed money.
The Farleys were returning; a legal notice of a called meeting of the Chiawassee Consolidated had been published; and it was evident that Colonel Duxbury meant to take hold with his hands. And Tom seemed to have forgotten that there was a battle to be fought.
The boy was coming South for the long vacation, and the affairs of Chiawassee Coal and Iron already reaching out subterraneously toward the future receivership would call the first vice-president North for the better portion of July. Would Mrs. Martha take pity on a motherless lad, whose health was none of the best, and open her home to Vincent? Mrs.
He had trusted these Gordons, and in return they had despoiled him; crippled a great and growing industry by segregating the profitable half of it; cast doubt on the good name of its founder by reversing his business methods. Chiawassee had been making iron by the hundreds of tons: where were the profits? The query answered itself.
But you can transfer the patents to me, and I can contract with Chiawassee Consolidated to make pipe for me." Caleb Gordon's frown matched that of his son. "That would certainly be givin' Colonel Duxbury a dose of his own medicine; but I don't like it, Tom. It looks as if we were taking advantage of him." "No.
Nothing would be gained by taking a train which would land him in New York late in the evening; so he plunged again into the examination pool and thought no more of Chiawassee Consolidated until his paper on qualitative analysis had been neatly folded, docketed and handed to the examiner.
You know, I suppose, that your that the Farleys have lost out completely?" "Yes," to the window-pane. "Well, a curious thing has come to pass quite a miraculous thing, in fact. Chiawassee will pay the better part of its debts and and redeem its stock; or some of it, at least." He rose and stood beside her.
