on. He tried it and won, and continued bet
ting until he had wonSljO. Then another in
diyidual commenced betting. and was allowed
to win three times out of four. Next a young
Frenchman bet upon club and lost $40.
Those who had been successful before now
bet again and again won. Finally an honest
looking German, on his way to the west, bet
seven $40 gold pieces and lost Again he bet
five more, with the hope of getting back 4
