CHAPTER XVI

"Ever been in this town before, Wampus ?" he asked.
"No, sir.

But I been in other towns like him, an' know this kind of hotel.

"For me, I am good Christian; but I am not martyr." "What do you mean by that ?" demanded the Major.

"Not often, sir." "But sometime?
Ah! Then I make you a bet.

I bet you ten dollar to one cent you not sleep in your bed to-night." The Major coughed.
