P193.36-38   Couple-three nights later, he ran into young Kindred down at
the Beaver Saloon, playing poker with a tableful of notoriously
unprincipled gents. Webb waited till the boy took a break, and stood a
couple of short bits.

A short bit is a dime, as I have found out. Here it refers to a drink that
costs ten cents, is that correct?
