Chapter III
THE LUCK OF NO-LUCK DRENNEN Drennen's entrance into the game, informal as it had been, elicited no comment from the other players. He had made his little stack of silver in front of him, coins of the States. There was other American money staked, jingling fraternally against pieces struck in the Canadian mint. Even a few _pesos_ had found their way from Garcia's pockets and were accepted without challenge. For fifteen minutes the game was quiet and slow enough.
