The Early Bird

CHAPTER XIII
7/17

You won't handle my money with control in your hands.

I have no objection to letting you have two hundred thousand dollars worth of common stock out of the half million, because that will give you an incentive to make the common worth par; but you shan't at any time have or be able to acquire a share over two hundred and forty-nine thousand; not if I know anything about it! Can you call a meeting as soon as we get there ?" "I think so," replied Sam, with a more or less worried air.

"I'll try it.

Tell you what I'll do.

I'll run right on over to get Mr.Stevens, who wants to join the company, and in the meantime Mr.Westlake or Princeman can round up the others." For the first time in that drive Miss Stevens had something to say, but she said it with a briefness that was like a dash of cold water to the preoccupied Sam.
"Father is over there now, I think," she said.
"Good," approved Mr.Creamer.
