"I should smile!" chuckled Dunton.

"You'll pay dear for your experience, I'm afraid," said Cassie.

"Perhaps not. I'm willing to take the chances."

"Well," whispered Lawrence, rousing up and showing fresh interest, "he's bound to bite anyway. Somebody ought to muzzle Cassie!"

"What kind of chances are you willing to take?" asked Havener, who was growing more interested, now that Frank was so persistent.

"That depends on what sort of arrangements I can make with you."

"He shies a bit," whispered Dunton.

"Just trying to show that he's really shrewd," yawned Lawrence, lighting a cigarette without asking leave of anybody.
