My friend offered to bet $500, when old Jack said: "Boys, I'm drinking, and I don't care, fur my spunk's up, and I'd just's soon bet her all the first bet; them tarnal fellers guzzled me out of $1,000 in Cincinnater, and I wants ter get even." So saying he pulled out his big roll, slammed it down on the table, and said: "Thar's my pile, and you fellars darn't cover her."
I whispered to my friend, telling him that now was the time. Then I asked Jack how much he had in the roll. He said: "Wall, I don't know; I had $7,000 when I left Greenups, and I lost $1,000 in Cincinnater and what yer win just now, so I reckon I've got nigh onto $6,000." I requested one of the bystanders to count the money, which he did, and found it to be just $5,500.
