Pappy tol' him to whup him but not to stake him he'd stan' fer it wid'out de stakin' so I 'member he looked jes lak he was jumpin' a rope an' hollering', 'Pray Marser', ever time de strop hit 'im. "I neber got no whuppins frum Marse George 'cause he didn' whup de chulluns none. Li'l darky chullun played 'long wid white chullun.
"Of course they will be sorry, Uncle Tex," said Barbara. "It's Good Business, you know, to want your competitor to fail." The old plainsman shook his head. "I sure don't sabe this financierin' game, honey, but I'm stakin' my pile on your dad just the same." "Well," said Pat, "we're all glad on Mr. Worth's account, av course, that ut's over as aisy as ut is.
Foger, "Andy, my son, we have houses already made for us, and very comfortable they seem, too. We'll take up our quarters in one, and then hunt for the gold." Mr. Foger seemed to ignore Tom and his friends. Abe Abercrombie strode forward. "Look here, you Fogers!" he exclaimed without ceremony, "was you calculatin' on stakin' any claims here?"
There was a bite to the air, and Rainey, fresh from the warm cabin, wished he had brought up his sweater. Lightly as he trod, the giant heard him and instantly recognized him. "How'd ye make out with the hunters last night?" he queried. "I turned in early." "We had quite a session," said Rainey. "They got me in the game, all right." "Enny objections 'bout yore stakin' yore share in the gold?"
"Oh, begorra, but it's a bad job, intoirely!" he answered. "We was all havin' a little game of cards together, and to make the game lively we was stakin' our gims. Dirk got claned out at last lost every stone of his share and then he jumped up and swore that Price had been chatin' him.
"If you want to know right bad, I'll tell you straight that there isn't anything like a whole claim left in this gulch. Now go ahead and do your stakin' if you want to, but keep off of us. You can see all our lines; they're as plain as the nose on your ugly face. I've got only one thing to say, and that is, the man that stakes inside of 'em is goin' to stop a handful of blue whistlers."
Then that capper Jim led out and we all made a small winnin', to prove the system. And Montoyo, he gets tired o' losin' but still he's blind to a card that everybody else can see, and he calls for real play so he can go broke or even up. I didn't look for much of a deal on that throw myself. Usu'ly it comes less promisc'yus, with the gudgeon stakin' the big roll, and then I pull out.
"She's a go with me, Bill, if you can't think of no other way to spend money. I wisht you took to poker more, or minin', or something that's got action. Stakin' Casey Ryan to a garage business looks kinda foolish to me. But if you can stand it, Bill, I can. It's kinda hard on the tourists, don't yuh think?" Thus are garages born, too many of them, as suffering drivers will testify.
