"I didn't hear," said Fred, panting faster than his hard-ridden horse. "I hope none of the boys off of this range around here got into it with him," Stilwell said. "They say he's closed up all the gamblin' joints and saloons but Peden's, and the bank's been shut four or five days, Judge Thayer and a bunch of fellers inside of it with rifles.
"Primmins, where does the agent, Leach, live?" enquired Maryllia. "I really couldn't say, Miss. I'll ask " "'Tain't no use askin'," said Bainton; "He lives a mile out of the village; but he ain't at 'ome nohow this evenin' bein' gone to Riversford town for a bit o' gamblin' at cards. Lor', Miss, beggin' yer pardon, gamblin' with the cards do get rid o' timber it do reely now!"
If she iver hed a child thot gurl is thot child. Fer she's the livin' image of me wife nineteen years ago! "Some of thim laughed at him some of thim stared. But Lee wuz dead in earnest an' growin' more excited ivery min nit. I heerd him mutter low: 'My Gawd! it can't be! Her child! ... In a gamblin' hell! But that face! ... Ah! where else could I expect the child of such a mother?
But you see, mother, I find that the late Mr Stoutley's family is also poor at least in difficulties although they live in great style, and seem to be rich; and from what I heard the other day, I know that the son is given to gamblin', and the mother seems to be extravagant, and both of 'em are ready enough to sponge on Miss Emma, who is quite willin' far too willin' to be sponged upon, so that whatever Willum gave to her would be just thrown away.
'Twas all what th' joynts iv fi-nance were doin'. 'Who's that man with th' plug hat just comin' out iv th' gamblin' joint? 'That's th' prisidint iv th' Eighth Rational. 'An' who's that shakin' dice at th' bar? 'That's th' head iv our greatest thrust comp'ny. An' so it wint. To-day I read in th' pa-apers an appeal to th' good sense iv Mulligan, th' tailor.
"Wal miss I I'll do my best licks. But I ain't gamblin' none on results. Be patient. Keep your nerve. Don't get scared. I reckon between me an' Dale you'll git away from heah." Withdrawing his head, he got up and returned to the camp-fire, where Anson was waiting curiously. "I left the grub. But she didn't touch it. Seems sort of sick to me, like she was poisoned."
Take back a gamblin' debt?" "Easy there," said one of the men. "Don't you see the kid's green? Here's a five-spot." The loser accepted the coin as carelessly as if he were conferring a favor by taking it, cast another scowl in the direction of Pierre, and went out toward the bar. Pierre, very hot in the face, pocketed his winnings and belted on the gun.
He was thinking of the lights in them when she had turned them on him of late. "They told me something, not very long ago and I'm gamblin' there won't be any divorce, pardner." "There probably won't," De Launay replied, shortly. "It won't be necessary." He got up and went into the other room where Solange reclined on the bunk.

"So simple I can't see how men can lose." "The trouble is," Shorty admitted, "that most men gets fooled on their hunches. On occasion I sure get fooled on mine. The thing is to try, an' find out." Smoke shook his head.
"Judson, I did not cheat durin' that game, an' I never did cheat, although gamblin was my business. You have become a fanatic on the subject o' truth, an' I propose to tell you some. You are a bully; you have bullied this girl in order to make her consent; and you are a coward, a miserable coward.
