This, as Orde had said, would be sufficiently annoying to Heinzman, but would have little real effect on the main issue, which was that the German was getting down his logs with a crew of less than a dozen men. Nevertheless, Orde, in a vast spirit of fun, took delight in inventing and executing practical jokes of the general sort just described.
Orde's mind was struck chaotic by the reasonableness of this request, and the utter impossibility of acceding to it. "How much of a bond?" he asked. "Twenty-fife thousand vould satisfy us," said Heinzman. "Bring us a suitable bond for that amount and ve vill sign your contract." Orde ran down the stairs to find Newmark.
If you can deliffer our logs here for two dollars and a quarter, why, that is better as ve can do it; but how do ve know you vill do it?" "I'll guarantee to get them here all right," laughed Orde. "But what is your guarantee good for?" persisted Heinzman blandly, locking his fingers over his rotund little stomach. "Suppose the logs are not deliffered what then?
His skin was very brown and shiny, and was so filled by the flesh beneath as to take the appearance of having been inflated. "Yes, I'm the boss," said he non-committally. Orde dropped into a chair. "Heinzman holds some notes due against our people in ten days," said he. "I came in to see about their renewal. Can you attend to it?" "Yes, I can attend to it," replied Lambert.
"If it does work out that way, we'll win a big thing; if it does not, we'll lose nothing." He nodded to Heinzman and left the office. His demeanour was as dry and precise as ever. No expression illuminated his impassive countenance. If he felt the slightest uneasiness over having practically delivered his intentions to the keeping of another, he did not show it.
Well, I was lyin' on one of those there benches back of the 'Merican flags in the dance hall 'cause I was very sleepy, when in blew old man Heinzman and McNeill himself. I just lay low for black ducks and heard their talk. They took a look around, but didn't see no one, so they opened her up wide." "What did you hear?" asked Orde.
He travels with heavier baggage. I have the better trumps." "You'd lose everything." "Not quite," smiled Newmark. "And, as usual, you are forgetting the personal equation. Heinzman is Heinzman. And I am I." "Then I suppose this affidavit from Heinzman as to the details of all this is useless for the same reason?" Newmark's thin lips parted in another smile. "Correct," said he.
Now as for the Northern Peninsula timber, you have had seventy-five thousand out of that and have lent me the same amount. Call that quits. I will take up your note when it comes due; and destroy the one given to Heinzman. For all your holdings in our common business I will give you my note without interest and without time for one hundred thousand dollars.
"Heinzman won't sign unless we give him a bond for performance," he said in a low tone, as he dropped into the chair next to Newmark. Newmark removed his unlighted cigar, looked at the chewed end, and returned it to the corner of his mouth. "Heinzman has sense," said he drily. "I was wondering if ordinary business caution was unknown out here." "Can we get such a bond?
"Vat is this?" he inquired, a new crispness in his voice. "You tolt me," he accused Orde, "dot you were not brepared to break out the rollways. You tolt me you would egspect me to do that for myself." "Certainly," agreed Orde. "Vell, why do you put in this?" demanded Heinzman, reading from the paper in his hand.
