Poker Face Pete

Poker Face Pete
by L. M. Everhart

         "Four aces."

         Bart stood and drew.  "Damn cheat!"

         Pete rose, hands flat on the table.  "Liar!"

         "Turn 'em over!"

         Pete hesitated.  Kitty fainted.  Everyone else ducked under tables.

         Bart cocked his pistol.  "Show the backs!"

         Pete's fingers shook as he flipped the cards.

         Bart was right.  The motifs differed; two Tweety Birds and three Sylvesters!
