 An exclamation broke from the group. Nolan leaned forward and turn ed over the three on the board. They were the eight of diamonds and two tens of spades.
 That's how the thing is worked" announced Newmark "Once in awhile you'll run against a straight game. but not often"
 But you showed us the jack every time before you throwed themr' pug zled Johnny Simms.
