... ty! I'll see you after the close. How the
devil did you do it?" shouted Gardner.
"What's the price now?" asked Brewster.
"One thirteen and three-fourths, and going up all the time.
Hooray!"
"Do you think she'll go down again?" demanded Brewster.
"Not if I can help it."
"Very well, then, go and sell out," roared Brewster.
"But she's going up like--"
"Sell, damn you! Didn't you hear?"
Gardner, dazed and SecondPart600-700 weak, began mac data recovery selling, and finally liquidated the
full line at prices ranging from 114 to 112 1/2, but Montgomery
Brewster had cleared $58,550, and all because it was he and not
the market that got excited.
CHAPTER XI
COALS OF FIRE
It was not that he had realized heavily in his investments which
caused his friends and his enemies to regard him in a new light;
his profit had been quite small, as things go on the Exchange in
these days. The mere fact that he had shown such foresight proved
sufficient cause for the reversal of opinion. Men looked at him
with new interest in their eyes, with fresh confidence.
His
unfortunate operations in the stock market had restored him to
favor in all circles. The man, young or old, who could do what he
had done with Lumber and Fuel well deserved the new promises that
were being made for him.
Brewster bobbed uncertainly between two emotions--elation and
distress. He had achieved two kinds of success--the desired and
the undesired. It was but natural that he should feel proud of the
distinction the venture had brought to him on one hand, but there
was reason for despair over the acquisition of $50,000. It made it
necessary for him to undertake an almost superhuman feat--increase
the number of his January bills. The plans for the ensuing spring
and summer were dimly getting into mac data recovery shape and they covered many
startling projects. Since confiding some of them to "Nopper"
Harrison, that gentleman had worn a never-decreasing look of worry
and anxiety in his eyes.
Rawles added to his despair a day or two after the Stock Exchange
misfortune. He brought up the information that six splendid little
puppies had come to bless his Boston terrier family, and Joe
Bragdon, who was present, enthusiastically predicted that he could
get $100 apiece for them. Brewster loved dogs, yet for one single
horrible moment he longed to massacre the helpless little
creatures. But the old affection came back to him, and he hurried
out with Bragdon to inspect the brood.
"And I've either got to sell them or kill them," he groaned. Later
on he instructed Bragdon to sell the pups for $25 apiece, and mac data recovery went
away, ashamed to look their proud mother in the face.
Fortune smiled on him before the day was over, however. He took
"Subway" Smith for a ride in the "Green Juggernaut," bad weather
and bad roads notwithstanding. Monty lost control of the machine
and headed for a subway excavation. He and Smith saved themselves
by leaping to the pavement, sustaining slight bruises, but the
great machine mac data recovery crashed through the barricade and dropped to the
bottom of the trench far below. To Smith's grief and Brewster's
delight the automobile was hopelessly ruined, a clear loss of many
thousands.
Monty's joy was short-lived, for it was soon learned
that three luckless workmen down in the depths had been badly
injured by the green meteor from above.
The mere fact that
Brewster could and did pay liberally for the relief of the poor
fellows afforded him little consolation. His SecondPart600-700 carelessness, and
possibly his indifference, had brought suffering to these men and
their families which was not pleasant to look back upon. Lawsuits
were avoided by compromises. Each of the injured men received
$4,000.
At this time every one was interested in the charity bazaar at the
Astoria. Society was on exhibition, and the public paid for the
privilege of gazing at the men and women whose names filled the
society columns.
Brewster frequented the booth presided over by
Miss Drew, and there seemed to be no end to his philanthropy. The
bazaar lasted two days and nights, and after mac data recovery that period his
account-book showed an even "profit" of nearly $3,000. Monty's
serenity, however, was considerably ruffled by the appearance of a
new and aggressive claimant for the smiles of the fair Barbara. He
was a Californian of immense wealth and unbounded confidence in
himself, and letters to people in New York had given him a certain
entree. The triumphs in love and finance that had come with his
two score years and ten had demolished every vestige of timidity
that may have been born with him.
He was successful enough in the
world of finance to have become four or five times a millionaire,
and he mac data recovery had fared so well in love that twice he had been a widower.
Rodney Grimes was starting out to win Barbara with the same dash
and impulsiveness that overcame Mary Farrell, the cook in the
mining-camp, and Jane Boothroyd, the school-teacher, who came to
California ready to marry the first man who asked her. He was a
penniless prospector when he married Mary, and when he led Jane to
the altar she rejoiced in having captured a husband worth at least
$50,000.
He vied with Brewster in patronizing Barbara's booth, and he
rushed into the conflict with an impetuosity that seemed destined
to carry everything before it. Monty was brushed aside, Barbara
was preempted as if she were a mining claim and ten days after his
arrival in New York, Grimes was the most talked-of man in town.
Brewster was not the sort to be dispatched without a struggle,
however. Recognizing Grimes as an obstacle, but not as a rival, he
once more donned his armor and beset Barbara with all the zest of
a champion who seeks to protect and not to conquer. He regarded
the Californian as an impostor and summary action was necessary.
"I know all about him, Babs," he said one day after he felt sure
of his position. "Why, his father was honored by the V. C, on the
coast in '49."
"The Victoria Cross?" asked Barbara, innocently.
"No, the vigilance committee."
In this way Monty routed the enemy and cleared the field before
the end of another week. Grimes transferred his objectionable
affection and Barbara was not even asked to be wife number three.
Brewster's campaign was so ardent that he neglected other duties
deplorably, falling far behind his improvident average. With
Grimes disposed of, he once more forsook the battlefield of love
and gave his harassed and undivided attention to his own peculiar
business.
The fast-and-loose game displeased Miss Barbara greatly. She was
at first surprised, then piqued, then resentful. Monty gradually
awoke to the distressing fact that she was going to be
intractable, as mac data recovery he put it, and forthwith undertook to smooth the
troubled sea.
To his amazement and mac data recovery concern she was not to be
appeased.
"Does it occur to you, Monty," she said, with a gentle coldness
that was infinitely worse than heat, "that you have been carrying
things with a pretty high hand? Where did you acquire the right to
interfere with my privileges? You seem to think that I am not to
speak to any man but you."
"O, come now, Babs," retorted Monty, "I've not been quite mac data recovery as
unreasonable as that. And you know yourself that Grimes is the
worst kind of a bounder."
"I know nothing of the sort," replied the lady, with growing
irritation. "You say that about every man who gives me a smile or
a flower. Does it indicate such atrocious taste?"
"Don't be silly, Barbara.
You know perfectly well that you have
talked to Gardner and that idiot Valentine by the hour, and I've
not said a word. But there are some things I can't stand, and the
impertinence of Grimes is one of them. Jove! he looked at you, out
of those fishy eyes, sometimes as though he owned you. If you knew
how many times I've fairly ached to knock him down!"
Inwardly Barbara was weakening a little before his masterfulness. ... |
