"Yes; I tell you Sadie was pretty well posted. She knew what the old woman had by her that night; and the place shows for itself that you went through it thoroughly."
"Well, how much will you give me for my share of the boodle?"
"Mind, Taylor, we claim one half of all you brought away as ours by rights."
"Well, well, whatever you claim, what will you give me for all I brought away?"
"Four thousand dollars."
"Done! Ha! ha! that's the best bargain I ever made."
"In the devil's name, what's the matter with you, man? Are you trying to come some game over us?"
"Petter not!" growled Jake, warningly.
"There's been a pretty game played by some one," said Taylor, gloomily; "but it's been a bitter one for me. You think I brought away ten thousand dollars, don't you?"
"About that, yes."
