The loser didn't seem to care anything about his loss, so Fred end Terry sized him as a professional gambler.
"Would you like to try another shot?" Terry asked.
"Well, no; not at that price."
"Well, I'll give you odds of two to one."
"No, I've got enough," was the reply, and Terry laughed rather sarcastically.
"I'll give you odds of a hundred to one," Terry said.
"Great Scott!" exclaimed another passenger. "Will you give me such odds, mister?"
"Yes if this gentleman refuses."
"All right, I refuse," said the gentleman who had lost.
