Darbey went back to Connecticut a
much depressed man. He was bitter
and hard against Henry. But he saw
no way out Of his difficulty. He set
tied down to his factory work. He
plodded along ten or twelve hours a
day and tried to conform himself to
the new conditions. When he need
ed money he advised Henry That
gentleman made advances. Occasion
ally Henry paid visit to the plant
and looked things over. He tried to
be kindly and gracious, but Darbey
was not to be deceived. He knew
Henry was not satisfied and he also
knew the business was not improving.
After year or so Henry did not re-
spond to money calls so promptly as
before. When he did send money a
complaining letter accompanied the
check. The cost of production was
too high, he insisted. Darbey must
cut down expenses. Henry could not
meet competition. Darbey got rid Of
a man here and there, saved every
penny he could for the company and
watched every item of expenditure
closely. He reported all these things
to Henry and at the same time point
ed out that the heaviest load that the
company had to bear was that fright
ful 20 per cent selling cost that Henry
exacted. Henry's replies on this
score were sharp. He made 1t plain
to Mr.. Darbey that if Mr.. Darbey
would attend to the manufacturing
end he would have plenty to do. 1t
was not for Darbey to criticize.
His Scheme Discovered.
One day most unusual thing hap
pened. A silverware dealer in a
neighboring town called Darbey up
on the phone. He wanted a gross Of
a certain class of goods, and in de-
scribing the articles he mentioned the
price per dozen, $5.75. That particu-
lar class Of goods did not sell at that

wrathy when ne entered Mr.. Darbey's
Office.
"Mr. Darbey." he said, II do not like
the tone Of your letters to me and I
do not like the way you have been
handling my business. You never
have seemed to recognize the fact that
you have been dislodged from the con-
troll of this company. thought you
were a good manufacturer. think
so still, but consider that your effi-
cheney is impaired by reason Of the
feeling you have toward me. Now
this thing has to end. have come up
here to make a proposition to you.
This company cannot succeed under
present conditions. II you want to
sell your stock and get out, / will
buy your shares l will pay you ten
cents on the dollar. II you want to re-
main here as my employee, as a sort
of supervisor, l will give you twenty
five dollars week. What about it?"
Mr.. Darbey hesitated for nearly half
a minute, then he asked:
rs that the best you will do?'
YES" said Henry.
"Ten cents on the dollar is very lit
tie for shares of this company that I
have been bound up in 80 long," re-
marked Darbey.
We'll, do you accept, or do you
not?" Henry demanded
Il do not accept" said Darbey.
Then" said Mr.. Henry, although
I am reluctant to do so, will have to
dispense with your services and put
one Of my own men in here, a man
who will do what want"
NO." said Darbey, you won't put

Then a hard look came into Oar

'the time has come for me to talk
very plainly to you. You are a thief"
Henry started to Jump up. but Oar
hey, who was a powerful man, pushed
him back in his chair.

lecting 1t for nearly year. / have
all the reports that you made to this
office and I have many of the bills
that you rendered to customers.
There is a wide difference between
the amounts you reported and the
moneys you obtained. You were not
satisfied with your 20 per cent, out
rageous as 1t was, but you have
swindled this company out of many
thousands of dollars and have done 1t
coldly, calmly and methodically for
the purpose of bringing this company
into a position where you could get
the remaining stock at your own price
and then, suppose, sell the concern
to the trust at a figure that would
give handsome profit to you. May
be you have been acting for the trust
all through this. I don't know"
Then he told of the incident of that
dealer who telephoned the order to
the factory instead of to the selling
agent--the order for the $5.75 goods
Next he told of what he had learned
from statesmen Of the Henry concern.
II placed all this evidence in the
hands Of one Of my young friends, a
lawyer named Davis" he said. He
tells me l can put you behind the
bars II l am so disposed. The fact
that you own majority of the stock
Of this company does not warrant you
in robbing the company Of it's funds.
My friend Davis has interested some
persons in this affair and between
us we have made up our minds that
we are going to take over the control
of the Darbey Manufacturing com
pany. Mr.. Davis is in the outer room.
He has all the bills, all of your state
ments, all the evidence. He also is
ready to swear out warrant for your
arrest. l do not want to go so far
unless IL is necessary. I want to be
very fair and decent with you. l
want to make a proposition. l will
buy the stock that you hold In the
Darbey Manufacturing company at 10
cents on the dollar. Do you accept,
or shall I call in Mr.. Davis?"

stockholders. Mr.. Darbey looks after
both the manufacturing and the sell

thought the dealer had made a mis-
take. The dealer said he had not;
that was the price he had been paying
Darbey told him that all the product
OF the factory was handled through
Mr. Henry in New York and he would
wire him to forward the goods at once,
but meanwhile he, Darbey, would like
to see the dealer and he would go to
the dealers town that afternoon to
have a personal conversation with
him. The dealer said he would be glad
to see him. Darbey made the visit
He had a confidential chat with the
dealer and the dealer showed to him
the bills he had from Henry. The
$5.75. The return made by Henry to
the Darbey Manufacturing company
was SO a dozen. Darbey got all those
bills from the dealer and took them
home with him.
A little later he met one of the
former statesmen of Mr.. Henry. The
salesman was none too well disposed
toward Henry. When Darbey, in the
course Of discussion about business,
remarked that things were going
none too well, the salesman blurted
out the statement that they couldn't
go well; that Henry was selling the
Darbey product only to such dealers
as would pay prices much above those
Of the trust, and that Henry was real
ly an agent for the trust and handling
lot of the trusts goods.
Before those two men parted, Oar
bey got a lot of details of the prices
at which that man acting for Henry
had sold the Darbey products. The
man gave names, dates and figures.
Darbey made memorandum of each
and every item.
Darbey Had Whip Hand.
Thereafter, when Mr.. Henry, as
usual, complained about the factory
costs and insisted upon further and
further economies. Darbey very blunt
ly declared he could not make the
stuff any cheaper. He had cut things
down to the bone. He told Mr.. Henry
he thought his criticisms were unwar-
ranted. The real economies ought to
be introduced in the selling end.
This brought some sharp retorts
from the New York Office, and sharper
ones from the Connecticut end. Mr..
Henry lost all patience with the man.
