<p>“Easy enough,” said Dan, in a cloud of smoke. “I suppose I could give the city a park, or endow an asparagus bed in a hospital. But I dont want Paul to get away with the proceeds of the gold brick we sold Peter. Its the bread shorts I want to cover, Ken.”</p>

<p>“If you had a hundred millions,” said Kenwitz, vehemently, “you couldnt repair a thousandth part of the damage that has been done. You cannot conceive of the accumulated evils produced by misapplied wealth. Each penny that was wrung from the lean purses of the poor reacted a thousandfold to their harm. You do not understand.

When the price of flour went up he had to raise the price of bread. His customers were too poor to pay it, Boynes business failed and he lost his $1,000 capital—all he had in the world.”</p>
