Even Tighe's offer of a minor partnership failed to tempt him.
"I think you have a nice business," he explained, in refusing, "but I want to get in the note-brokerage business for myself.

I don't trust this stock game.

I'd rather have a little business of my own than all the floor work in this world." "But you're pretty young, Frank," argued his employer.

"You have lots of time to work for yourself." In the end he parted friends with both Tighe and Rivers.

"That's a smart young fellow," observed Tighe, ruefully.
"He'll make his mark," rejoined Rivers.
