"Yes, I will."
"How much?"
"A bottle."
"And you are to prove it?"
"Yes."
"I'll take the bet."
The fellow who had offered to make the bet immediately rose, crossed the cabin to where Cad sat and said:
"Say, miss, you've heard the bet. Raise your veil and let me win. I know you are a beauty."
The men all laughed. They thought it evidently the joke of their lives; to them it was immense.
It was so destined to turn out. Immense was no name for what followed, and it is very unfortunate that similar roysterers do not run up against a like party.
