opportunity they "put up" a little game before

and they watched the play with interest. The in

by Gaylor for $500. Davis came in and raised him

on the table than some Of the other passengers
had ever seen together. 1t was all genuine money,
too, and by putting big note on top OF pile OF
small ones the two shOwmen made 1t look ten
times as much as 1t really was
The excitement was tremendous among the
spectators, but Davis and GaylOr were as placid
as two days in June, and threw their money down

posing them to his own view. Then he dealt him.
