Against the determination in his heavy square figure
Clayton argued in vain. When, ten minutes later, he went into the
conference room, followed by a secretary with a sheaf of papers, the
mill was minus a boss roller, and there was rankling in his mind
Klein's last words.
"I haf no objection, Mr. Spencer, to your making money out of this
war, but I will not."
There had been no insolence in his tone. He had gone out, with his
heavy German stolidity of mien unchanged, and had closed the door
behind him with quiet finality.


CHAPTER IV
Graham left the conference that morning in a rather exalted mood.
The old mill was coming into its own at last. He had a sense of
boyish triumph in the new developments, a feeling of being a part
of big activities that would bring rich rewards. And he felt a
new pride in his father. He had sat, a little way from the long
table, and had watched the faces of the men gathered about it as
clearly and forcibly the outlines of the new departure were given
out.
