The boss had got tired of this river
man, you see, and was just laying for
him.
About two days later the river man
came in. He lost his stack of whites and
began to roar. The dealer looked up at
his new partner and winked He knew
what was wanted, and, getting out of
his chair, went over and tapped the dis
