midnight
`` Yes , '' said Morgan , raising his hollow , heavy eyes to Houston 's face , `` I 'm about done up , that 's a fact . '' `` I would n't go to the Y to-night , if I were you ; come back to the house and get a good night 's rest , it will make a different man of you . '' Morgan looked undecided for a moment ; '' ` Twould n't be no use going up there now , '' he answered gloomily , `` I could n't rest if I tried . I have n't slept scarcely any for three nights ; but I ai n't going to stay out late to-night as I 've been doing ; I sha n't play after midnight . I 'm going to have two or three games just to see what luck I 'll have , and if I do n't have luck , why , that ends it , I ai n't going to play all night . '' `` Morgan , '' said Houston earnestly , `` you spoke the other night about money ; now , as I told you then , if you need any money , I 'm your friend , and I 'll gladly accommodate you with whatever you need . '' For the first time in all their acquaintance , Morgan 's careless , indifferent manner changed , and for a few moments he seemed touched .
