Olcott has agreed to shoot, and I am ready to cover any amount you want to put up, unless you have put up more than I have." The original bettor offered to put up three hundred dollars. "All right," said Tom. "I'll cover that." Then several others put up one and two hundred each.
"I am quite clear on one point at least," he said. "It was not for this sort of thing that I crossed the Atlantic with you; and you had bettor make our relations more agreeable if you wish me to make them permanent." "You to make them permanent?

'He's a raw poult of a chap, replied Jack; 'just ready for anything in a small way, at least a chap that's always offering two to one in half-crowns. He'll have money, though, and can't be far off age.
The asylum which was Marsa's prison was so constantly in his mind that he felt the necessity of flight, in order not to allow his weakness to get the bettor of him, lest he should attempt to see Marsa again. "What a coward I am!" he thought.
Finally another gull came flying over, about twice as high as the first two. Terry was going to wait for another chance, when the bettor angrily exclaimed that he must want a bird to alight on the muzzle of his revolver. "Why, surely you don't expect to have me shoot at a bird that is really out of range, do you?" "No, but that wasn't out of range."
