A deputy sheriff arranged to get him into jail, where he met Soapy Jones, professional. Professor Bryson, criminologist, visited the prison to select a secretary, and took Green. Jones, released, recognized his old cellmate and tried to persuade Green to rob his employer. Next day the boys sent Green the five hundred dollars he had won on the wager. The professor missed a large sum of money, and on the prompting of Carson, a detective who loved his daughter, had Green arrested. The money found on him seemed to confirm his guilt. But the girl, entering, explained how she had changed the hiding place of the money through fear of burglars, after she had seen Jones prowling about the grounds. Carson retired in discomfiture, and Green discovered that he had won, not only his wager, but a wife. Written by
