"At the first look of trouble they will light out. They have it all fixed. Force won't do you much good and may get some of you shot." "I'm not going to use force," denied Orde. "I'm just going to play their game. But I bet I can make it go. Only I sort of want the moral support of the boys." "I tell you, you CAN'T win!" cried Newmark disgustedly. "It's a brace game pure and simple."
"You think he intends to delay things enough so we can't deliver on the date agreed on." "I know it," stated Newmark positively. "But if he refuses to deliver the logs, no court of law will " "Law!" cried Newmark. "Refuse to deliver! You don't know that kind. He won't refuse to deliver. There'll just be a lot of inevitable delays, and his foreman will misunderstand, and all that.
"Whew!" said he, "that was a terror! We've gone off the wrong foot that time." Newmark looked at him with some amusement. "You don't mean to say that fooled you!" he marvelled. "What?" asked Orde. "All that talk about insults, and the rest of the rubbish. He saw we had spotted his little scheme; and he had to retreat somehow. It was as plain as the nose on your face."
As Newmark looked at the smooth rim of the water sucking into the chute, he began to wonder why he had come. However, the noble ship was pointed right at last, and caught the faster water head-on. Even Charlie managed to look cheerful for an instant, and to grin at his passenger as he wiped his forehead with a very old, red handkerchief. "All right now," he shouted.
He examined the Orde place for some moments; walked on beyond it; finding nothing there, he returned, and after some hesitation turned in up the tar sidewalk and pulled at the old-fashioned wire bell-pull. Grandma Orde herself answered the door. At sight of her fine features, her dainty lace cap and mitts, and the stiffness of her rustling black silks, Newmark took off his gray felt hat.
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.
I know my name is on dot note. But the money came from somewheres else. It came from your partner, Joseph Newmark." Orde half rose from his keg. "Why? What?" he asked in bewilderment. "Den ven you could not pay the note, I vas to foreclose and hand over dot Northern Peninsula land to Joseph Newmark, your partner." "Impossible!" cried Orde. "I vas to get a share. It vas a trick."
Newmark started from his absorption in his questioning and shifted his unlighted cigar. "Does sound like it," he admitted; "but I'm not asking all this out of idle curiosity. I've got a scheme in my head that I think may work out big for us both."
Heinzman laughed with assumed lightness. "Suppose I fool you," said he. "I guess I joost keep it for mineself." Newmark looked at him coldly. "I wouldn't," he advised. "You may remember the member from Lapeer County in that charter fight? And the five hundred dollars for his vote? Try it on, and see how much evidence I can bring up.
Then quite slowly Mr. Kincaid followed the second to the top of its flight and broke it as though it had been a single. "Lord!" gasped the visitor. "He surely can't do that with any certainty!" "Can't he!" said the other grimly, "Watch him." Interest soon centred on Newmark and Kincaid, as those who had made straight scores on the singles now dropped one or more.
