He's improved a good deal in euchre lately, and in poker well! he's got that sorter dreamy, listenin'-to-the-angels kind o' way that you can't exactly tell whether he's bluffin' or has got a full hand. Hasn't he?" he asked, appealing to Union Mills. But that gentleman, who had been watching the dark face of the Right Bower, preferred to take what he believed to be his cue from him.
The young men who belonged to the Progressive Euchre Club used to drop in late and risk a tiff with their sweethearts and general condemnation for a waltz with 'the hired girls. THERE WAS A CURIOUS social situation in Black Hawk.
