Wait until I write a voucher for twenty per cent. of twelve thousand five hundred. His figures, you know. There! Now you can collect from Judson and call for name Number Two." Who started that dope about Heaven givin' us our relations but thanks be we can pick friends to suit ourselves? Anyway, it's phony.
"What is this all about?" "Simply this, Governor: Jackson's well is a 'set-up'! For Nelson! We nearly dropped dead when we found out that Parker kid had laid you against it. Why didn't you tell us ?" "What are you saying? I don't " "The well's phony. Dry as a pretzel." "In what way? I saw the oil " "Never mind. Lay off!" "I think I'm entitled to an explanation." "Well, then, it's salted!"
I gave him a roll of phony currency to bet with and kept a bunch of it in a special pocket to pay his winnings out of. No; I didn't mistrust him; but I simply can't manipulate the ball to lose when I see real money bet. My fingers go on a strike every time I try it. "I set up my little table and began to show them how easy it was to guess which shell the little pea was under.
And on the next count, as the man who 's wise to those phony bills of lading of yours, and those doped-up clearance papers, and those cases of carbines you 've got down your hold labeled bridge equipment, and that nitro and giant-caps, and that hundred thousand rounds of smokeless you 're running down there as phonograph records!" Tankred continued to smoke.
"This is the man who passed that phony hundred-dollar bill on me. The very one!" "Is he dead?" whispered Bobby Hargrew, looking under Chefs elbow down at the crimson-streaked face of the unfortunate man. Market street was well lighted, but it was not well policed.
He got out the code book from his desk, laid it open beside the sheet, and began to decipher, his face whitening as he went on: BUTTE, MONT. Reports of expert phony. Think Oppendike salted it on him. They will finish this vein in a month. Then the show will bust. Federated Copper Company will not bite and too late now to unload on public. Something must be done.
They was a drag on her and she wanted to get to the top." "Say, that pin's real, ain't it?" "Real? Well, I should say it is! Catch Jevne wearing anything that's phony. I saw her at the theatre one night. Dressed! Well, you'd have thought that birds of paradise were national pests, like English sparrows. Not that she looked loud. But that quiet, rich elegance, you know, that just smells of money.
Some shrewd observer once remarked that "patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel." Whenever I come across an "ultra-patriot" with foam dripping from his mouth while he beats his chest with loud cries about his own honesty and the crookedness of those running the country, I suspect a phony.
Brent Taber watched the match go out and then said, "You're the Goddamnedest phony I've met this week." "They said you'd say that, but all I want is to see the man and then I'll know. I'll tell you in a jiffy if he's my brother." "All right." Charles Blackwell gulped a throatful of smoke in disbelief. Evidently they'd told him it wouldn't be as easy as this.
"Ain't that right in your line, though?" says I. "It may have been at one time," admits J. Bayard; "but to-day you couldn't give away nickel chances on the national gold reserve. The market is dead. Even the curb brokers have fallen back on racing tin rolling toys and matching quarters." Well, I couldn't dispute it. If anyone knows the phony finance game at all, it's J. Bayard Steele.
