This looked satisfactory. Orde arose. "I'm much obliged to you, Mr. Heinzman," said he. "I'll bring it around Monday." He had reached the gate to the grill before Heinzman called him back.
When finally it became evident to Heinzman that Newmark would win, he made the issue of toll rates the ditch of his last resistance, trying to force legal charges so low as to eat up the profits. At the last, however, the bill passed the board. The company had its charter. At what price only Newmark could have told.
"You are going to have difficulty meeting your July notes, as it is." Heinzman hardly seemed to breathe, but a flicker of red blazed in his eye. "Proceed," he repeated non-committally, after a moment. "I intend," went on Newmark, "to furnish this money myself. It must, however, seem to be loaned by another. I want you to lend this money on mortgage." "What for?" asked Heinzman.
"I'll have to get an extension of time," said Orde to himself. "Of course Joe will let me have more time on my own personal note to the firm. And Heinzman surely ought to I saved a lot of his logs in that jam. And if he doesn't want to, I guess an offer of a little higher interest will fetch him."
Where's your timber and your mills and your new house and that pretty daughter of yours?" Heinzman winced visibly. "I vill get an extension of time," said he feebly. "Will you?" countered Newmark. The two men looked each other in the eye for a moment. "Vell, maybe," laughed Heinzman uneasily. "It looks to me like a winner." "All right, then," said Newmark briskly.
"Vell," said Heinzman, "ven you put it on the market, come and see me." He nodded paternally at Orde, beaming through his thick spectacles. That evening, well after six, Orde returned to the hotel. After freshening up in the marbled and boarded washroom, he hunted up Newmark. "Well, Joe," said he, "I'm as hungry as a bear. Come on, eat, and I'll tell you all about it."
"But you're ready to compromise below the face of the note?" "I am." "Why?" Newmark hesitated. "I'll tell you," said he; "because I know you well enough to realise that there is a point where your loyalty to Heinzman would step aside in favour of your loyalty to your family." "And you think you know where that point is?" "It's the basis of my compromise." Orde began softly to laugh.
"For a one tenth of Orde's share in case he does not meet those notes." "But he vill meet the notes," objected Heinzman. "You are a prosperous concern. I know somethings of YOUR business, also." "He thinks he will," rejoined Newmark grimly. "I will merely point out to you that his entire income is from the firm, and that from this income he must save twenty-odd thousand a year.
"I'm offering you the chance of making anywhere from thirty to fifty thousand dollars." "Perhaps. And suppose this liddle scheme don't work out?" "And," pursued Newmark calmly, "I'll carry you over in your present obligations." He suddenly hit the arm of his chair with his clenched fist. "Heinzman, if you don't make those July payments, what's to become of you?
At last Carroll resolved to take her husband's advice. She stopped for Mina Heinzman, and the two walked around to the stable, where the men harnessed old Prince into the phaeton. They drove, the wind at their backs, across the drawbridge, past the ship-yards, and out beyond the mills to the Marsh Road.
