I told him not to give me away, and I would get the fellow to play
the game for us. Then I said to old Jack:
"What are you going to do with the tickets when you get out to
Texas?"
"Wall, I'm goin' to larn 'em, and when I get out to pap's I'll win
all the money them gol-darned cow-boys hev got."
"Do you think you can learn them well enough to win their money?"
"Oh, yes; I'm larnen 'em all the time, and sometimes I can mix 'em
up so I fool myself."
My friend thought he must help me, so he invited us to join him in
another drink.
