Then Frank suddenly cried:
"Wait! That we may be satisfied we are having a fair show in this matter, why not permit one of us to shuffle those cards?"
Quick as a flash of light, Muriel's hand fell on the wrist of the man who held the cards, and his clear voice rang out:
"Stop! Unbind his hands. He shall shuffle."
Frank's hands were unbound, and he was given the cards. He shuffled them, but he did not handle them with more skill than had Muriel. He "shook them up" thoroughly, and then passed them back to the man who was to hold them.
"Bind him!"
Muriel's order was swiftly obeyed, and Frank was again helpless.
"Draw!"
The cards were extended. Wade Miller reached out, and quickly made the draw, holding the fateful card up for all to see.
