Mr. Denton spoke calmly. "If so, name your price while I have the money to pay you."
"Oh, you do expect to fail, then? You still have sense enough for that!" said Mr. Forbes quickly. "Then, why not give up your fad at once and run the business properly?"
"Do you mean as we have been running it?" asked Mr. Denton, with a sharp glance at him.
"Certainly, with a few modifications, perhaps," was the equally sharp answer.
"Never!"
Mr. Denton's voice rang out like the blast of a trumpet.
"Go back to such infamous practices? Never!"
"Very well, then," said Mr. Forbes, with sudden anger in his voice, "I do wish to sell out! What will you give me for my interest?"
Mr. Denton wheeled around, and looked at him eagerly.
"I had hoped you would see things differently," he said at last. "I thought that perhaps you would appreciate my desire, which is to make myself more worthy of the God that made me."
