"Helen, don't throw away any more of your money on his stocks!"
"How dare you come in here?" demanded Sanford.
"Never mind about that," answered Joe coolly. "I know what I'm doing. I'm not going to see you get any more of her money."
"Oh, Joe. How did you know I was here?" asked Helen. "I didn't want any one to know I came."
"I found out. I feared this was what you'd do."
"Do what, Joe?"
"Buy more stock in the hope of making good your losses on the Circle City investment."
"But, Joe, I'm not doing that. I don't want to buy any more stock. I've had too much as it is."
"Then what in the world did you come here for?" cried Sanford. "You intimated that you wanted more stock. That's why I met you here—to sell it to you."
"Yes, I thought that's what you'd think," replied Helen, and she seemed less excited now than Joe Strong. "But what I came for was to sell you back these worthless oil certificates. I want my money back."
