"Ben," said the Cuban, a few days later, "I have excellent news."
"What is it, sir?"
"I have found the broker who sold the stolen securities for your uncle."

"Very well, sir."
"I wish to test your uncle's disposition toward you. We are in a position to dictate terms to him. If he shows proper feeling toward his nephew we shall feel disposed to be considerate toward him."
"What do you wish me to do?" asked Ben.
