Tell the teacher if you didn't get points for your answer. See page 134 for the soap trick and why a man called it a slight of hand trick.

Henry Hershey lives at the arcade in Denver, which is located above a saloon.

The man asked Milton if he wanted some three-card monte, which suggests that it is not a drink, food, or cigarette or cigar. Therefore, the most likely option is that it is a card game.

The correct answer is Soapy Smith. Soapy Smith is the person that Henry Hershey warns Milton to stay away from. He is well known in Denver as a trickster and is the leader of the Soap Gang.

Milton accepted the gun from Henry, indicating that he was willing to use it if necessary. When he went to look for a job, he encountered a dangerous situation where a man wanted to kidnap him. Although Milton did not end up firing the gun, the fact that he had it with him allowed him to escape from the potential kidnapper. Therefore, the statement "Milton had to use the gun" is true.

Milton was worried about the Indians in Denver. This suggests that he had concerns about the interactions and potential conflicts with the indigenous people in the area.

Henry Hershey has held three different jobs while in Colorado. Firstly, he sold livestock medicine, indicating that he was involved in the agricultural industry. Secondly, he painted pictures, suggesting that he had artistic abilities and may have worked as a painter. Lastly, he mined for silver in Leadville, indicating that he was involved in the mining industry. These three jobs demonstrate Henry Hershey's diverse skill set and his willingness to explore different industries during his time in Colorado.

After Milton's adventure, he felt better walking through town and away from the con artists by the train station. The place that caught his attention and made him happy was a candy shop. This suggests that Milton found solace and joy in the sweet treats and possibly indulged in some of his favorite candies, which helped improve his mood and make him feel better after the stressful encounter with the con artists.

Milton passed by a law office and The Windsor Hotel while walking through downtown Denver.

Based on the given context, the man near the door asked Milton if he was looking for a card game. This suggests that Milton may have been seen or perceived as someone who might be interested in playing a card game.

The question states that Henry had something stolen from his room. The answer "Two thousand dollars worth of jewelry" suggests that the stolen item was jewelry valued at two thousand dollars.
