Dr. Haustus knew that the Chevalier had again visited the Princess, although he had kept the visit a secret, and indeed was himself invisible for a day or two afterwards.
No evidence had been found to back up his statements. They told him to make his will, for he possessed a fifty-thousand dollar Sunrise claim, and they were a law-abiding as well as a law-giving breed. Leclere shrugged his shoulders.

"If I hafs feefty tollar more don you hafs, how mooch less tollar don't you hafs don I hafs? Yaw, yaw, yaw!" "That is plain enough," said Nick sturdily "but if you mean to say that the answer to the problem I gave you is fifty per cent., you are wrong." "Oxplains how dot ain't," said Mr. Ribsam, suddenly becoming serious. The mother was also interested, and looked smilingly toward her bright son.

Ribsam took another puff or two, as if to make sure that his boy was not leading him into a trap, and then he solemnly nodded his head. "Dot ish so, dot am, yaw." "Then if Philadelphia has one hundred people for its population, New York has one hundred and fifty?" "Yaw, and Pheelatelphy has feefty per cent. less yaw, yaw, yaw!" "Hold on, father, not so fast.
"So was the fillage when I leave him on the 5th of March, eighteen hundred and feefty. Now you shall see him shoost as I vill make him ven I go back."

Ah bet you feefty dollars to tventig, Ah take mein sheep home quicker as you vass!" "Done wit' ye," said stout old 'Paddy' Burke, though well he know the big German barque could sail round the little Hilda. "Fifty dollars to twenty, Captain Schenke, an' moind y've said it!" The green boat sheered off and forged ahead, Schenke laughing and waving his hand derisively.
