Also ve think it is vell to help the young fellers along."
He laughed silently in such a manner as to shake himself all over.
"Ve do not vish to be too severe, and yet ve must be assured that ve
get our logs on time. Now, I unterstood you to say that this new
concern is a stock company."
Orde did not remember having said so, but he nodded.
"Vell, if you gif us a bond secured with stock in the new company,
that would be satisfactory to us."
Orde's face cleared.
"Do you mean that, Mr. Heinzman?"
"Sure. Ve must haf some security, but ve do not vish to be too hard
on you boys."
"Now, I call that a mighty good way out!" cried Orde.
"Make your contract out according to these terms, then," said
Heinzman, handing him a paper, "and bring it in Monday."
Orde glanced over the slip. It recited two and a quarter as the
agreed price; specified the date of delivery at Heinzman and
Proctor's booms; named twenty-five thousand dollars as the amount of
the bond, to be secured by fifty thousand dollars' worth of stock in
the new company. This looked satisfactery. Orde arose.
"I'm much obliged to you, Mr. Heinzman," said he. "I'll bring it
around Monday."
He had reached the gate to the grill before Heinzman called him
back.
