Nor was Elam Harnish an exception.&nbsp; He was a man&#39;s man primarily, and the instinct in him to play the game of life was strong.&nbsp; <\/strong><\/font>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n\t&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n\t&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n\t<font size=\"3\"><strong>Environment had determined what form that game should take.&nbsp;

True, on Moosehide Creek the past summer he had taken out twenty thousand dollars, and what was left in the ground was twenty thousand more.&nbsp; But, as he himself proclaimed, that was no more than getting his ante back.&nbsp; He had ante&#39;d his life for a dozen years, and forty thousand was a small pot for such a stake&#8211;the price of a drink and a dance at the Tivoli, of a winter&#39;s flutter at Circle City, and a grubstake for the year to come.<\/strong><\/font>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n\t&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n\t&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n\t<font size=\"3\"><strong><font color=\"#ff0000\" size=\"4\">Get this exciting&nbsp;adventure for just $1.00!&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
