The speaker was Clarence Farnsworth, the foolish young easterner who had been sadly fleeced by the gambler.
"Yes; Duff came back," said Mr.Hawkins, quietly.
"Where is he ?" asked Farnsworth.

"I must leave in the morning, and I owe Duff seven hundred dollars.

I want to pay it to him." "Money you lost gambling with Duff ?" questioned Hawkins.
"It's a debt of honor that I owe Mr.Duff," Farnsworth replied, flushing considerably.
"Son, take one little hint from me," continued Hawkins.

"No money ever lost to a gambler in card playing is a debt of honor.

It's merely the liability of a chump and a fool.
