The appearance of General Divvy put the Mayor in quite a flutter, and when the General told him that he positively must consent to run again, and that he was the only hope of the Reformers, the Mayor was much affected. "I fear I am," he replied, with a mournful shake of the head, as much as to say what a commentary that was on the absence of virtue in public life.
He knew the voice now and the man. It was Bucky Smith! He half rose to his feet and then dropped back. Bucky had not recognized him. His own beard, shaggy hair, and pinched face had saved him from recognition. Fate had played his way. "We'll divvy up, Bucky," came a weak voice. It was from the thin, white-faced man who had sat corpselike on the edge of his bunk the night before.
After we had closed for the evening, I picked up my manufactured sucker and commenced a divvy game of poker. I told my Jew partner to see every hand that the other fellow held, and to attract his attention so I could cold deck him. I came up with the ice and bet $250 before the draw. The sucker came back and raised me $5,000.
Lucky fer us we were able to swipe that boat. Suppose we divvy up now. You've got all the swag." With the lantern between them, the two men bent their heads, while one of them brought forth a pocket-book, and began to count out a number of bills. His voice was so low that the concealed watchers could not hear the amount.
The figure on the sofa had been covered by a cloth. "The kid says our friend has passed over," rather roughly spoke the long-nosed man. "How about it?" "Yes, sir," answered Mr. Adams. "There he is." "Huh!" And walking across, the long-nosed man peeped in under the cloth. "All right," he said. "Now's our chance to divvy, then, isn't it?" "Just what do you mean, sir?" demanded Mr.
The man in charge of this hold-up knew his business. It was smooth work all the way through. If it hadn't been for bad luck he would have got away with the whole thing fine. They still had the loot with them when they got here. No doubt about that. Well, then! He wouldn't divvy up here, because, if they separated, and any one of them got caught with the gold on him, it would be a give-away.
After a short look, one of the men laughed, unpleasantly. "Sneakin' he is," said the one who laughed. "Knows we're campin' on his trail, an' reckons on givin' us the slip. I never thought Bill would go back on his friends thataway. We'll make him sweat, damn him!" The other cursed, also. "Hoggin' it, he is," he said. "I ain't never trusted him. He won't divvy, eh?
If I let you take me away, do we divvy up or don't we? That's all you've got to say." "That's easily settled. I'll certainly give you half of whatever I get." Ogden looked wistfully at the writing-desk. "I wish I could have that in writing. But I guess it wouldn't stand in law. I suppose I shall have to trust you." "Honour among thieves." "Less of the thieves.
General Divvy, the ex-Governor of South Carolina, who had grown wealthy reforming that State and had thereafter naturally come to be regarded as an authority on all matters connected with reform, had written an earnest letter commending the rally as one of the most important steps that had ever been taken in the direction of pure and frugal government.

If you'll make an even divvy of what you have found, or expect to find, we'll go away and let you alone. If you don't we'll take the whole outfit." "Take it, take it!" jeered Marquand.
