"We are willing," said he, "to make the loan at 5 per cent per annum on two conditions." "Well out with them," laughed Mil ler. "What are they?" "First." said Wilson slowly and me thodically, "we want the refusal of the property at one hundred thousand dollars." Miller's indifference was surprising. "For what length of time do you want the refusal of the property at that fig ure?" be asked, almost in a tone of contempt. Wilson hung fire, his brow wrinkled thoughtfully. "Till it is decided positively," he got out finally, "whether we can get a charter and a right of way to the prop erty." "That's entirely too indefinite to suit my clients," said the lawyer.

In fact, it would insure us of his help. We can't buy a right of way: we can't afford it. The citi zens through whose property the road runs must be persuaded to contribute the land for the purpose, and Mr. Bish op, of course, has influence up here with his neighbors."
