"I'll do it!" exclaimed Martin, suddenly thrusting out his hand, "and I'll let the booze alone in the future if it takes a leg. You and the others have done me a bigger service than you'll ever realize, probably." "Well, you know the way you can best repay it," said Bert, with a hearty smile, and after another strong handclasp they parted.

I just want to booze to my heart's content, with nobody by to count the glasses. You've known such fellers before, and that cosey, little room over there has known them, too. Just add me to the list; it won't harm you."
What's the little joker, Bland?" Bland turned his pale, opaque stare upon Johnny for a minute. "Aw, for cat's sake, gimme the doubt, bo! I'm human in more ways than tryin' to see how much booze I kin lap up. It's a chance I want to start fresh. This bumming around ain't getting me anything. I'm sick of it.

"So you're the man they've been holding here for my inspection," Mart said coolly, with a faint smile at Casey's evident discomfort. "You're still hitting it up, I see. Joe, take that bottle away from him. When he's sober enough to talk straight, I'll give him the third degree and see what he really is, anyway. Guess he's all right but he sure can lap up the booze. That's a point against him."
"I'll break Morrissy's head one of these fine days. Let's go over to Johnny's; there's music over there." "All right, Ben." "And no more booze, mind." "Just as you say." Up stairs the gambling-den was doing a good business. The annual trotting meet had brought many sporting men to town.
