Mike faked the race, of course, and lost his horse, that bein' part of our progam. When it was all over I seen the chief's daughter had been watchin' us, but she didn't say nuthin'. The next mornin', however, when we got up we found a bully pinto pony tied to one of our tent stakes. "Look who's here," said I. "Young Minnie Ha-ha has made good your losin's."
They don't show an' fills up faster'n th' others. Gotter make yer losin's good, hain't yer?" "Yes, Billy Buttons, I have, but I ain't goin' to make 'em cheatin' anybody. What'd grandpa think or say to that? Now you can just empty out every single goober shell you've put in an' fill up square. I'll save them shells by theirselves, so's to have 'em ready next time you yourself want to buy off me."
But no stone appeared. Like most of his genus he was superstitious, and repeated to himself the cabalistic formula: "Losin's seekin's, findin's keepin's" presumed to be of great efficacy in such cases with religious fervor. He had laboriously reached the end of the veranda when he noticed the open window of Louise's room, and stopped as a perfunctory duty to look in.
He stuttered a strange thing for an Irishman to do, by the way and retreated into The Club, where they dared not follow. "H'lo, Casey! Give yuh a chance to win back some of your losin's, if you're game to try it again," called a man from the far end of the room. Casey swore and hobbled back to him, let himself stiffly down into a chair and dropped his crutches with a rattle of hard wood.
