"I have Heinzman's contract all drawn," said Newmark the next
morning, "and I think I'll go around with you to the office."
At the appointed time they found the little German awaiting them, a
rotund smile of false good-nature illuminating his rosy face. Orde
introduced his partner. Newmark immediately took charge of the
interview.
"I have executed here the contract, and the bonds secured by Mr.
Orde's and my shares of stock in the new company," he explained.
"It is only necessary that you affix your signature and summon the
required witnesses."
Heinzman reached his hands for the papers, beaming over his glasses
at the two young men.
As he read, however, his smile vanished, and he looked up sharply.
"Vat is this?" he inquired, a new crispness in his voice. "You tolt
me," he accused Orde, "dot you were not brepared to break out the
rollways. You tolt me you would egspect me to do that for myself."
"Certainly," agreed Orde.
"Vell, why do you put in this?" demanded Heinzman, reading from the
paper in his hand. "'In case said rollways belonging to said
parties of the second part are not broken out by the time the drive
has reached them, and in case on demand said parties of the second
part do refuse or do not exercise due diligence in breaking out said
rollways, the said parties of the first part shall themselves break
out said rollways, and the said parties of the second part do hereby
agree to reimburse said parties of the first part at the rate of a
dollar per thousand board feet.
