“Was this package given you at the bank?” he asked.
“Yes,” answered Felix.
“I don’t understand it. Do you think they suspected anything?” he continued, turning to Ralston.
“What could they suspect?” growled Dick. “It’s a pretty trick for a respectable bank to play on a customer.”
“Was all the money bogus?” asked Mullins.
“Here are a hundred dollars in good bills.”
“Have you opened any of the other packages?”
“No, but I will.”
The gambler tore off a little of the outer paper from the five-hundred-dollar and two-hundred-dollar packages, only to discover that their contents were no more valuable than those of the first bundle.
“I’d like to know what all this means,” said Ralston. “Is it a trick of yours?” he demanded, looking suspiciously at Mullins.
