"Me allee samee meanee," was the reply. "Me wantee givee you chancee to gittee square, so be." The villain had a hundred dollars out in a hurry. "There you are!" he exclaimed. "Cover that!"
"Do you mean to say that I stole the card from the pack?" "Me allee samee bettee ten dollee you gottee um card somewhere, so be!" was the quick retort. "You will, eh? All right. I'm a betting man, I am. It don't make any difference who I bet with, either. I'll bet you ten dollars that I haven't got the card on me. If one has got it you're the one, for you are doing the trick."
