He had been a game man in the dead years that were past, none gamer in Texas, and he could still face his jailers with an impassive face; but this first kindly word from his native land in fifteen years to the man buried alive touched the fount of his emotions. He turned away and leaned against the grating of his cell, his head resting on his forearm.
Clemens, where the indignant Scotchman boxed the boy's ears and put him out also. Then the man threw the lad's bottles, apparatus and batteries after him, as if they were unloading a carload of freight there. "These blows on his ears were the cause of the inventor's life-long deafness. But there never was a gamer sport than Thomas A. Edison.
"THIS muddle," protested the doctor with an appeal of the eye to the beautiful long room and the ordered garden outside the bright clean windows. "Well, THAT muddle, if you like! There's a slum within a mile of us already. The dust and blacks get worse and worse, Sissie?" "They do," agreed Miss Gamer. "Mr. Remington stands for construction, order, education, discipline."
"You'll need a barrel to get home in!" yelled a voice from a buggy. "The Rob Roy hoss'll beat her and make her like it!" "You-all are from the East, Ah reckon," we heard the gateman reply. "Ah've just got twenty left that says we raise 'em gamer in Kentucky than up your way!" At the stables we found Blister. "How is she?" asked Judge Dillon. "She's ready," was the answer.
"I'll give ye something to yell about soon," said Thirkle. "Just wait a while and I'll give ye something to make a real fuss about. Maybe ye think there's a ship near maybe there is; but it won't do ye much good, so let's not have any more of this bawling. I thought ye was gamer than that, my fine Mr. Trenholm."
But her generous heart had kept her poor, and her back was bending with years made heavy by loss of sleep, sitting up, nursing the sick.

Got us hopelessly cooped up. That's all I know." "Well, you're a gamer bird than I thought, then. But why so frisky?" "I figure he's got us about licked," replied Roger, ignoring the question. "We've got one chance in a million. We'll have it out with those birds on the muck land to-night after the moon is down. We may roust 'em. We may not." "By God!" swore Higgins swiftly.
Wonder what he does with the money? He's not a gamer, I take it." "Oh, Father, no!" I answered, shocked that anybody should think that of the Idol. "It's for the experiments that all the money goes. Roxanne's so proud of him for the wonderful thing he has discovered that she will starve herself to death, and him too, before all the world hears about it, even the Emperor of Germany."
I have talked it over with Miss Melrose and you know there isn't a gamer artist on our stage and I regret to tell you she feels just as I do about it. It isn't the poetry that scares her or me either. We both want to do all we can to help along the poetic drama we believe the public's ready for it, and we're willing to take a big financial risk in order to be the first to give them what they want.
And years after, as the struggle still raged to see him, almost blind and deaf, looking like so much vitalized parchment rather than a figure of flesh and blood, as night after night he stood up to the agility of a Chamberlain, and the subtlety of a Balfour each perfected to a fine art surely never gamer, grander sight ever challenged the imagination of poet, patriot, or historian.
