" That he amassed his wealth by buying and- selling commodities that , the - common people needed.' 'He did nothing of the sort ! ' retorted the * angry heiress. 'I • want you to understand that papa idld not work a lick for" a cent., of his-. He made it every bit by skinning people' with watered stocks. I guess that's just as easy money as the kind that you inherit, isn't it ? '
