"Oh, you needn't ask me to believe that tomfool tale, old chap! I know you too well for that." "All right," said Max. "Then you know quite as much as is good for you. If you want to be ready in time to meet your fiancée, you had better let Kersley's man lend you a hand with your dressing. I will send him to you." He was at the door with the words.

Come!" he cried, and he drew from his pocket a plump purse and emptied its contents upon the table; "come, lay your wager!" "Hell and furies," the Colonel groaned, "there's that tomfool boy again! Gi'me some more punch." For Osric Allonby had risen to his feet and had swept the littered gold and notes toward him.
