"I know for a fact that old Stanford got five hundred dollars from some of the Heinzman interests. I could have swung him back for an extra hundred, but it wasn't worth while. They howl bribery at us to distract attention from their own performances." With this evasive reply Orde contented himself.
Newmark broke in quickly before Orde could speak. "I've told Mr. Heinzman," said he, "that we would sort and deliver the rest of his logs for two dollars a thousand." "That will be about it," agreed Orde. "But," exploded Heinzman, "that is as much as you agreet to drive and deliffer my whole cut!" "Precisely," said Newmark. "Put I haf all the eggspence of driving the logs myself.
He entered rather red and breathless, obviously surprised to find Newmark at home. "Dot was a terrible jam," said he, mopping his brow and sinking into a chair. "I got lots of logs in it." Newmark dismissed the subject with an abrupt flip of his unlighted cigar. "Heinzman," said he, "in three weeks at the latest Orde will come to you asking for a renewal of the notes you hold against our firm.
Each gave him two dollars and a half as an entrance fee. A referee and scorer were appointed from among the half-dozen non-shooting spectators. "Newmark to shoot; Heinzman on deck!" called the scorer in a business-like voice. The trapper ducked into his hole. Mr. Newmark thrust five loaded shells into his side pocket, picked his gun from the rack and stepped forward to the mark.
As the team left the marsh road for the county turnpike past the mills and lumberyards, Orde shook himself fully awake. He began to review the situation. As Newmark had accurately foreseen, he came almost immediately to a realisation that the firm would not be able to meet the notes given to Heinzman.
"Well, he can still put you in prison," said Orde. "Vot I care?" cried Heinzman, throwing up both his arms. "You and your wife are my friends. She save my Mina. DU LIEBER GOTT! If my daughter had died, vot good iss friends and money? Vot good iss anything? I don't vant to live!
As he had himself loaned the money to himself again through Heinzman on the second mortgage, the latter would occasion him no loss. The net results of the whole transaction would be: first, that Newmark would have acquired personally the 300,000,000 feet of northern peninsula timber; and, second, that Orde's personal share in the stock company would flow be held in partnership by the two.
By the time he had reached Heinzman's office, the last of his irritation had vanished. Only he realised clearly now that it would hardly do to ask Newmark for a renewal of the personal note on which depended his retention of his Boom Company stock unless he could renew the Heinzman note also. This is probably what Newmark intended. "Mr. Heinzman?" he asked briefly of the first clerk. "Mr.
You must refuse to make such a renewal." "All righdt," agreed Heinzman. "He'll probably offer you higher interest. You must refuse that. Then when the notes are overdue you must begin suit in foreclosure." "All righdt," repeated Heinzman a little restlessly. "Do you think he vill hold that jam?" Newmark shrugged his shoulders swiftly. "I got lots of logs in that jam.
Orde spent the rest of the morning with Heinzman, a very rotund, cautious person of German extraction and accent. Heinzman occupied the time in asking questions of all sorts about the new enterprise. At twelve he had not in any way committed himself nor expressed an opinion. He, however, instructed Orde to return the afternoon of the following day. "I vill see Proctor," said he.
