Two out of three times on his own deals, an' every single time on Piker's deals, the devidends slid into Dick's coffers, while I was growin' resigned to havin' had a good run for my money. Jabez' face was drawn an' worried, which was queer, 'cause he was allus a royal loser. At last we had built up a four-story jack-pot, an' every feller's face wore the take-off-your-hat-to-me smile.
"I've seen a big jack-pot of trouble opened by chippin' in just one kiss," wisely remarked the Sheriff. Sage-brush, at this point, announced decisively: "The bride has got to be kissed."
"'I don't lay down my hand, says Texas Thompson, one time when him an' me is alone, 'to any gent between the Rio Grande an' the Oregon, on sizin' up a conversation. An' I'll impart to you, holdin' nothin' back, that the Colonel is shorely the limit. Merely to listen, is an embarrassment of good things, like openin' a five-hand jack-pot on a ace-full.
From the beginning it was Jim Kendric's game. When a jack-pot was opened he went into it with an ace high, though it cost him a hundred dollars to call for cards, which was not playing poker but defying mathematics and challenging his luck. And the four cards given him by Bruce, whose blue eyes named him fool, were two more aces and two queens.
"No, no, not broke, and not busy! Not at all!" "I don't know," said Dunwody. "Suppose we make it one more jack-pot all around?" They agreed to this. It was Judge Clayton's deal. "Gimme at least three," began the senator from Belmont, puckering out his lips in discontent. "Three good ones," consented the judge. "How many for the rest of you?" Dunwody shook his head. "I'll stand as it is, please."
I'd kept quiet, and that's why Tooley come across my quarter." Mrs. Maxwell was sorting over her music, while Maxwell's face was hidden behind a paper. Mrs. Burke was silent through despair. Nickey glanced furtively at his hearers for a moment and then continued: "Yes, the kids was tickled; but they got awful quiet when I told them to fork over another cent apiece for the jack-pot."
It did not in this case. After Uncle Billy had won the only jack-pot deserving of the name, he was allowed to go blissfully to sleep with his hand on the handle of the big jug. After poker there is only one other always available amusement for men, and that is business. The two travelers were quite well acquainted when Ralph put his head in at the door. "Thought I'd find you here," he explained.
And I will testify against you. Tell the people to wait until to-morrow and I pledge myself to find out who did this." "You know who did it?" asked Watusk sharply. "I will not speak until I have proof," Ambrose said warily. "What happened to the men you left on guard?" "They say they play jack-pot with a lantern near the door," said Watusk. "See not'ing. Hear not'ing. Poof! she is all burn!"
They decorate the canoe-houses and devil-devil houses with them. Each village runs a jack-pot, and everybody antes. Whoever brings in a white man's head takes the pot. If there aren't openers for a long time, the pot grows to tremendous proportions. Beastly funny, isn't it? "I know. Didn't a Holland mate die on me of blackwater? And didn't I win a pot myself? It was this way.
I've been reading what's wrote in their eyes and around their mouths. I can get big odds on Jack, here, if I can find somebody to talk for me. How about it, Jack? I've heard some say there's more than the gold medal and a horse up on this lariat game. I've heard some say you two have put your necks in the jack-pot. On the quiet, what do you reckon you're going to do to the greaser?"
