what was to have happened in the
last chapter of THE Stoic." The
chapter would have closed with a
soliloquy summing up the entire
trilogy.
THE Stole" carries on the story Of

where his Chicago financial empire
had been overthrown by municipal
reform movement. With his per-
sonal fortune still intact, he seeks
other fields, eventually succeeding
in a plan to control all the subways

prise, the most ambitious of his
career, can be carried out, he re-
turns to New York to die. His
mistress, Bsrenice, later uses part
