“Where did you get the roll, Jess?”
“From Jack Wright,” laughed the outlaw.
“Tell us about it!”
“Certainly. It was the easiest game I ever played, and I got $5,000 out of it, too. Ha, ha, ha!”

A roar of delight went up from the gang when he finished.
“Bully for you, Jess!”
“Oh, Lord, what a game!”
“You’ve done splendidly.”
“What a roasting for the bank!”
