The old companies' stock is selling right now, as you know, for from one-fifty to two-ten. Your stock is worth nothing. If you are to be given two or three for one for that, and three-fourths of the remainder in the treasury, I for one want nothing to do with the deal. You would be in control of the company, and it will be water-logged, at that. Talk about getting something for nothing!
A whistle sounded, a bell rang, and a train began to rumble, but no one took note of it save Harley. The two-ten on the branch line to connect with the 'Frisco Express on the B. P. was moving out, and he breathed a great sigh of relief. "One gone," he said to himself; "now for the accommodation freight." The speech continued, but presently Grayson stopped for a hasty drink of water.
And then just as he turned her into the home stretch, she threw a shoe and he had to check her in; but if there'd been any one to catch her time, he was certain it was better than a two-ten clip. And that same colt, you couldn't cut a lame cow out of the shade of a tree on her.
For the rest, four feet ten inches did Tim stand in his stockings, about two-ten of which were monopolized by his back, the shoulders of which would have done honor to a six foot pugilist, his legs, though short and bowed a little outward, by continual horse exercise, were right tough serviceable members, and I have seen them bearing their owner on through mud and mire, when straighter, longer, and more fair proportioned limbs were at an awful discount.
Kane senior was sorry for his son, but he was determined to see the thing through. He wasn't sure whether he had converted Lester or not, but he was hopeful. Maybe he would come around yet. "Good-by, father," said Lester, holding out his hand. "I think I'll try and make that two-ten train. There isn't anything else you wanted to see me about?" "No."
Waddington raised his hammer to knock the chest down, but was met with a storm from all quarters of the room. "Two-ten!" "Three!" "Three-ten!" "Four!" "Four-ten!" "Five!" "Six pounds!" "Seven!" "Seven-ten!" "Ten pounds!" Mr. Absolom, who so far had held his own, hesitated at the last bid. A gray-haired old gentleman looked around him fiercely. The gentleman was seemingly opulent and Mr.
He looked appealingly at Colonel Eden and at the police officer. They were entirely unresponsive. "And at two pounds, going " said Mr. Robinson. "Two-ten," said Dan Gallaher, in a quiet voice. "Two-fifteen," said James McNiece. Dan Gallaher, still apparently bored by the proceedings, raised the price another five shillings. James McNiece went half a crown further.
"Two-ten," he replied promptly and without protest. "My name," said she, "is Anne Leffingwell." "Thank you," he replied gravely. But the twinkle reappeared in his eye as he added: "Of course, that was rudimentary about the check." Before she had fully digested this remark they were on the sidewalk again.
They had a strict rule against tipping in the Idlers', but if he happened to meet Bobby outside, say at the edge of the curb where his car was standing, there was no rule against his receiving something there. Besides, he liked Bobby, anyhow. They all did. He was back in a moment. "One at two-ten and one at four-twenty, sir." "The two-ten sounds about right," announced Bobby.
I'm sure to be able to make something of it. What's the screw? 'That's just the point. We can't afford to pay much for it; our salary list is too big as it is. 'What did you intend giving for it? 'Well, we meant to give it to a super, but for you I can have it written up. What do you say to two-ten?
