A complete silence fell. 1t could
have lasted only an instant, but John
ny seized that instant.
Has this man any friends here?" he
asked clearly.
His head was back, and his swapping
black eyes seemed to see everywhere
at once
No one answered or stirred. Johnny
held them for perhaps ten seconds,

table.

he. Let her roll"
The gambler lifted his face, white IN

his p%assionless eyes. Then with his
left hand lie spun the wheel.

Of the ball as it rebounded from the
metal grooves struck across the tense

forth. Men all talked at once. The

rounded the roulette table, at which,

he laid three more bets.

the largest of the three gambling
houses, a log and canvas structure
some forty feet long by perhaps TWEEN
ty wide. A bar extended across one
end, and the gaming tables were ar
ranged down the middle. \ dozen oil
lamps with refectors furnished illumi-

All five tables were doing a brisk
business. When we paused at the
door for a preliminary survey the bar
was lined with drinkers, and groups
of twos and threes were slowly saun-
tering here and there or conversing at
the tops Of their voices with many
outlaws. The air was thick with to-
bacco smoke. Johnny stepped just in
side the door, moved sideways and so
stood with his back to the wall. His
keen eyes went from group to group

Without further protest l left him

as I came up and motioned to the bar
keeper to set me out a glass, but said
nothing. Ours was the only lot away
from the gaming tables not talking.
We slipped our drink and watched
Johnny.
After surveying coolly the room John
ny advanced to the farther of the gam
ing tables and began to play. His
back was toward the entrance. The
game was roulette. and Johnny tossed
down his bets m%ethodlcally, studying
with apparent absorption each shift Of
the wheel. To all appearance he was
intent on the game and nothing else,
and he talked and laughed with his
neighbors and the dealer as though his
spirit We're quite carefree.
For ten minutes we watched. Then

and instantly to one side, so that his
