The dealer hesitated, look- ing to him for instructions. Hath- away scowled, but he could give| no orders, not quite sure in his| own mind what they would be in any case. “It may be,” Gentleman Jim re- marked thoughtful That there is a purpose in my winning to- night, that I’m being used just to place the bets. Maybe you've been| a thorn in the flesh of this com- munity too long, Hathaway. If I win wh: ou be no skill of mine, n mere luc but something bigger, bef which crooked wheels of straight or man himself, is a mere nov- ice.” He kept a straight face, speaking as the professor, but re- membering that such talk would | have its effect on_such men as|¢ were before him. Gamblers were | superstitious. “If I should win,” he added, pursuing the same line of logic. “I Shall keep none of it for myself. Not a cent. All will go to the bet- terment of the community.” As on other occasions, he shook | his head then, startled by what he had just tune almost within his grasp—a sum which might rival the amount that he had come here to get hold of in the first place. And he was pledging himself not to keep a cent of it! Of course, he'd been a liar be- fore now, as well as a thief. But the startling thing was that he meant what he w: ing. Meant it while he was saying it, at least. Then, meeting the look on the dealer's face, he was practical again. He moved a little, so that attention was recalled to those twin bone-handled guns which he wore, and the creeping glaze in the dealer’s eyes wore itself out. Mechanically he set the wheel to spinning again. TETHER this was the smile of Lady Luck tonight, or if some more potent force than the mech- anism so clerverly concealed in the table guided the wheel, no one was any longer quite sure. Hard- ened players swore under their breath as the red six won again, and the dealer spoke tonelessly. “You've ousted the bank!” Deal Hathaway’s face had cloud- ed up and grayed with the storm in the last few minutes. He spoke “You! , ° got the devil’s own luck tonigh| ve, ti ht, it will e, tonight, it will) .

But if the red six won again, and Deal Hathaway was wiped out the. dealer glared wildly around, and his gaze met the sardonic imp: which seemed to look back at him out of the professor’s eyes. From there they moved to those twin guns. He knew nothing of this ma who had come here to upset th town—nothing beyond what was gossip these last few days. Whether he could shoot as well as he played the wheel there was no guessi But a man who knew the trick: of such a game, who packed a brace of guns, was not one to fo with. The dealer had no desir to learn how well he could us them by challenging him now And then it was too late. Th» whee] had slowed of its own ac- cord, stopped—on the red six.
