"Well, why the riot?" says I. "What you got there?" "Containers!" says he. "Old Nevins has got the compressor working. Sixty seconds to make these, my boy two hundred in one minute! Count 'em!" "I'll take your word for it," says I. "That's fine, too. But I'm carryin' all the comp'ny stock I can stand. Go out and convince some other come-ons." "I don't have to," says he.
Who but he had followed and found the renegade major and wrested from him full confession and the key of the safe, which in turn had been forcibly wrested from him through the malevolent jealousy of that upstart Engineer; but never, said Nevins, would he now betray Burleigh's hiding-place or impart his confession until full reparation was made for the wrongs and indignities heaped upon him.
In June, 1884, MacDowell returned to America, and on July 21, at Waterford, Connecticut, he was married to his former pupil, Miss Marian Nevins a union, which, for perfection of sympathy and closeness of comradeship, was, during the quarter of a century for which it was to endure, nothing less than ideal.
Independently of Nevins, the bond issue plan has been developed by Golding and the time for announcing the fact is this same twelfth day of October. Knowing the result that will be produced on American securities, he delays the announcement until the London Exchange closes for the day.
By 11:30 the case of Brevet-Captain Nevins was practically concluded and the president, eager as were his associates to finish their work after their long detention at this hot, barren, yet not inhospitable post, looked briskly up at the silent, somber young officer at the opposite end of the long table.

Yet this man has just arranged a financial deal which is to maintain the stability of the currency of a Nation of a hundred millions of people. "Then it is true that you are to shoulder the responsibility of disposing of the United States bond issue?" Nevins inquires with a semblance of interest. "What would that Republic do if it were not for its public spirited men of wealth?
Nevins inquires, with a faint smile, as he recalls the struggle he has gone through with before he could get Trueman to consent to the methods that had to be adopted to effect his nomination.

She should have every care, and be brought back to London early in June. Mrs Rendell carried the letter up to Maud as she practised in her room, and handed it to her with a smile; and Maud flushed and paled, and laid her hand affectionately on her little mother's shoulder. "Mummy! how much from you, and how much from Mrs Nevins? You have had something to do with this, I'm sure you have.
