"Oh, Joe, it was splendid! Splendid!" cried Mabel, enthusiastically.
"Fine!" said his father.
"Do you get any extra when your side wins?" asked his mother, while the crowd smiled.

"And it's going to be my treat this time," said Mabel, with a laugh. "I want you all to come to dinner with me. You'll come; won't you, Joe?" she asked, pleadingly.
"Of course," he said.
"And bring a friend, if you like," and she glanced at Clara.
"I'll bring Rad," Joe answered.
They lived the great game over again at the table of the hotel where Mable was stopping.
