Only Halsey and Watson remained, fighting as if it were a duel to the death.
"Please stop, Halsey," pleaded Mrs.Noble.

"What is the use of tempting fortune ?" An insane half light seemed to glow in his eyes as, with a quick glance at Constance and a covert nod of approval from her, he forced a smile and playfully laid his finger on Mrs.Noble's lips.
"Double or quits, Watson," he cried.

"Return the new certificates or take others for twice the amount.

Are you game ?" "I'm on," agreed Watson coolly.
Halsey laid down his hand in triumph.

There were four kings.
"I win," ground out Watson viciously, as he tossed down four aces.
Constance was on her feet in a moment.
"You are a lot of cheats and swindlers," she cried, seizing the cards before any one could interfere.
Deftly she laid out the four aces beside the four deuces, the four kings beside the four queens.
