"Go, Cad, it won't hurt you," whispered John, but Carrie was immovable, and at last, Anna, who entered more into her brother's spirit, took her seat at the instrument, asking what he would have.

"Yes," said Joe. "But w'en a feller's lonesome, a young feller, I mean, he's got to have company if he has to go down to Davy Jones's, and play seven-up with Ole Nick. Hey, Joe? W'at you say? Hey?"
"Ay, that is the question," observed Bertram gravely. "Wall now, that bein' the kee-westion," said Waller, "whose a-goin' to answer it? There's a chance now, lads; but don't all speak at once." "Right; that's wot it is," observed Bounce, nodding; "that's the feelosophy on it. When a feller's turned upside down, wot's he a-goin' to do nixt?

"Five hundred?" suggested Mark, with a crafty sidelong look. "You've named it." "And something down for expenses; a feller's got to live, and livin's high." Chadron drew out his wallet.
"A couple million dollars!" Felix said. "Why, I bet yer, if the feller's got a cent he is worth twenty million dollars." Abe drew pale.
