Wentz looked at the "Sheep Queen" hard as she advanced. Astonishment and admiration were in his eyes when he recognized her at last. It was beyond belief that a mere matter of clothes could effect such a transformation as this. She looked the last word in feminine elegance.
When the security of the mortgager is in jeopardy through incompetence or other causes he can foreclose immediately." Kate paled as she listened. "But there's no danger, Mr. Wentz," she protested breathlessly. "Your money's as safe as when Uncle Joe was living. I understand sheep he said I was a better sheepman than he was because I had more patience and like them.
It chafed Pantin exceedingly to be patronized by one who so recently had done his laundry, but since his business at the bank was of an imperative nature he concealed his annoyance with the best grace possible and waited. Temporarily, at least, Mr. Wentz had lost his equilibrium.
That night there was a general upset on the team which was settled amicably, however, and the next day Wentz continued playing in his old place. The position of guard was given to me on the other side of the line, George Cadwalader being moved out to the position of tackle.
"I've been around enough with Lewis Wentz to know better." "Well, you see," said pa, "that depends on how much you use your automobile.

Pantin, of whom he secretly stood in awe, although he knew of his own knowledge that Pantin sheared his collars, Wentz swung about in his office chair and said abruptly: "Didn't expect I'd have to send for you." Kate's troubled eyes were fixed upon him. "I had nothing to come for." It pleased Mr. Wentz to regard her with a smile of tolerant amusement. "Don't know anything about finance, do you?"

"You couldn't convince the directors of that. There's none of 'em wants to risk the bank's money with a woman in that kind of business." "But can't you see," she pleaded, "that it's ruin to ship now?
"I'd recommend anything that would make you safe." Wentz lowered his voice, which vibrated with earnestness as he leaned forward in his chair: "Do you know what it means if a storm catches you and you have a big loss? It means that only a miracle will keep this bank from goin' on the rocks.
Wentz forgot temporarily that Neifkins, in violation of the law governing such matters, was in debt to the bank beyond the amount of his holdings as director, and behind with his interest a condition which had disturbed the president not a little because it was so fraught with unpleasant possibilities.
