"Hendricks accompanies me, Ruferton." The financier crumpled the slip in his hand and smiled. "It's fortunate," he murmured half-aloud, "very fortunate for Ruferton that he didn't fail." When Mr. Ruferton and Mr.
"I have had many dealings with Mr. Burton, but wherefore this sudden and absorbing interest in my welfare?" Ruferton smiled. "My dear fellow, perhaps you had better go and ask him. If Hamilton Burton has turned things topsy-turvy to act as your savior in an eleventh-hour crisis, common sense compels me to infer that he has a reason too interesting to ignore." Mr.
Your instructions are to get that stock or the proxy. If you can't handle him bring him to me; have him in this room at this hour tomorrow evening."

"Ruferton," he exclaimed, "in a moment more you will irritate me. I said get his Coal and Ore, or get him. I don't give a damn how you do it. Tell him, if you like that all Tammany can't boost him on to the appellate bench if I go after him. If you prefer, gag him and drag him here. Do what you like except waste time by gaping at me. Succeed and name your reward.
