| her i've thousand iast to try and keep you out. Jack"
 And ! raise you five thousand just to lend hand at keeping Jack out, Macdonald said in turn.
 His voice was slightly husky and strained. and a nervous twiteh in the corner of his mouth followed speech.
 Kearns was pale. and those who locked on noted that his hand trem- bled as he wrote his slip. But his voice was unchanged.
 q lift her along for five thou | sand" he said.
 Daylight was now in the center. The kerosene lamps above flung high lights from the rash of sweat on his forehead. The bronze of his cheeks was darkeEed by the accession of blood His black eyes glittered and bis nostrils were distended and eager. They were large nOstrils, tokening his descent from savage ancestors who had survived by virtue of deep lungs and generous aiT-passages. Yet, unlike Macdonald, his voice was firm and customary, and, unlike Kearns his hand did not tremble when he wrote
 T call, for ten thousand. he said. Not that I'm afraid of you-all. Mac. It's that hunch of Jacks"
 T hump his hunch for five thousand just the same" said Macdonald. T had the best hand before the draw, and still guess got 1t"
 4r- huneh. after the draw Is better'n the hunch before" Kesrns remarked {: wherefore duty says. Lift her, Jack lift her. and so lift her anoth- CT five thousaid"
 Daylight leaned back in his chair and gazed up at the kerosene lamps while he computed aloud:
 T was in nine thousand before the draw. and l saw and raised eleven thousand-that makes thirty. I'm only good for ten more" He leaned for ward and looked at Kearns. "So call CT five thousand"
 You can raise If you want" Rearns answered. Your dogs are good for i've thousaid in this game"
 Nary dRwg You-all can win my dust and dirt, but nary one of my dawgs. l just call"
 The saloon keeper finally spoke:
 If anybody else wins. they'll have to take a mortgage on the Tivoi"
 The two other players nodded.
 So l call, too"
 Macdonald added his slip for Ave thousand. Not one of them claimed the pot, and not one Of them called the size of his hand. Simultaneously and in silence they faced their cards on the table. while a general tiptoe ing and craning of necks took place among the onlookers. Daylight showed four queens and an ace; Mac Donald four jacks and an ace. and Kearns four kings and a trey. Keafns reached forward with an encircling movement of his arm and drew the pot in to him. his arm shaking as he did SO Daylight picked the ace from his hand and tossed 1t over alongside MacDonald's ace, saying:
 That's what cheered me along, Mac l knowed 1t was only kings that could beat me, and he had them.
 What did you-ali have?" he asked, all interest, turning to Campbell.
 Straight flush of four. open at both ends-a good drawing hand"
 'You bet, You could a made 8 straight. a straight flush or Hush out Of it."
 That's what I thought Campbell said, sadly. Tt cost me six thousand before I quit"
 T wisht you-alld drawn Daylight laughed. Then I wouldn't a caught that fourth queen. Now I've got to take Billy Rawlins' mail contract and mush for Dyea Whats the size Of the killing. Jsck?"
 Kesrns attempted to count the pot, but was too excited. Daylight drew it across to him. with firm fingers sep arating and stacking the markers and I. o. Us and with clear brain adding the sum.
 "one hundred and twenty-seveR thousand" he announced 'You-all can sell out now. Jack, and head for home"
 The winner smiled and nodded, but seemed incapable of speech
 Name your ssake-juice, you-all- the winner pays!" Daylight called out loudly to all about him, at the sanse time rising from his chair and catch ing the Virgin by the arm. Come on for a reel. you-al dancers. The nights young yet. and it's Helen Breakfast and the mail contract for me in the morning Here, you-all Rawlins. you -I hereby do take over that same contract. and start for salt water at nine a. m.-savvee? Come ons you-all' Where's that hddler?" CHAPTER n.
 It was Daylight's night. He was the
