And he told John Wilson he was the man. since he had great wealth, honestly got by his father and grandfather, no one would accuse him of being hypocrite seeking notoriotE, and his standing in the financial world was 50 old and solid that it would have to listen 10 him. 1 remember how emphatically father said. l tell you. John, even the discussion of such q proposition as that scoundrel Rein hart makes is degrading to an Amer jeans honor He said it didn't make the least difference if Reinhart count ed his millions by the score and was director in 90 or 40 great institutions, and gave a fortune every year for charity to the ehurch-that he was a blackleg just the same.
