So Ben and his new acquaintance entered the famous gambling-den. It was handsomely furnished and decorated, with a long and gaily appointed bar, while the mirrors, pictures, glass, and silverware excited surprise, and would rather have been expected in an older city.
"The mischief!" exclaimed Dave, starting at the bundle over which the man tumbled, bursting it open. There was an immense clatter. Even in the imperfect light of the early morning, the young aviator made out a great heap of clothing, silverware and jewelry, rattling down the steps of the porch. "What's happened?" cried Hiram, rolling over and over on the gravel walk to which he had tumbled.
There dwell the little underground people whom you saw at the festival, and I will protect them as long as I live!" With these words Guru vanished.
