Transcriber's Notes:

THE CINDER BUGGY

BY THE SAME AUTHOR

THE DRIVER

“A good, rapidly moving novel of ‘Wall Street’ methods, written by a man who knows.”

Springfield Republican

“The book is among the most absorbing which we have read recently.”

—Heywood Broun in The World

“I feel as did Mark Sullivan, who said: ‘Garet Garrett has written one of the great novels of the day.’... That is beside the point to one who wants to study man and his work.... The thing that impresses me is its fidelity to life.”

Bernard M. Baruch.

THE CINDER BUGGY

A pot-metal body
on two little wheels,
absurdly,
bow-leggedly
walking away to the dump
with the slag, the
purgings of iron, the
villainous drool of the furnace—
that is a cinder buggy.
It is also a sign
that what man refines
beyond
God’s content
with things as he left them
will very soon perish
for want of the dross
from which it is parted.
Why hath each thing its cinder?—
even the sweetest desire?
