Why I Traveling Man (lave Up Playing
Poker With sin-sugars.
“I don't play cards with strangers,”
said-n quiet looking man on the Pullman
in response to an invitation from the
drummer to join them in it little game
of poker. The drummer flushed up and
was about in say something.
“Hold on," "marked the quiet man,
"and I'll explain. Sit down here a min-
uto or two and let me tell you."
The drummer being an obliging persf'in
sat down.
"About five years ago," began the
quiet man, "I was out in the west coun-
try at a wild town. and one night, being
fond of cards and ii pretty fair player, I
asked four or five cowboys at the tavern
where I was stopping to play curds with
me. x (IIIIII’L snow them, and they ninn t
know me, but they took 'it for granted
Iwas all right, and they went to my
room, where I had two or three decks of
cards. Wa started the game at a quar-
ter the note with a .2 limit, and it
wasn't long until I was winning nicely;
for. as I said before, Iwns a good player.
After some time we took nnother deck
of cards, and as usual I had 3 good band.
“My winnings had made my new
found acquaintances rather suspicions,
but as I was perfectly honest Ididn't pay
much attention to that. I remember
very distinctly I had an ace of diamonds
in my hand, and when it come uround to
show down I knew tho pot was mine,
but just as I laid down my hood the man
opposite me whipped out his revolver
and jnbbcd it into my face, and on the
instant out cums all the other men's
guns, and I was scored almost to death.
Icoiildn‘t any n word, for I thought my
time had come, but nobody shot.
” 'Loolt here!” ejaculntod the turn: who
had first pnllml his gun, applyirg serersl
disagreeable epithets in addition. and he
took on flf'l' of diamonds out of his
hand. This restored my consciousness
somewhiit, fll'ill after wailing until escli
man had expressed his opinion of me.
and the final decision hull been reached
that I was to g.ve up all I hail won and
probably be shot Into-r. I got in s word.

THE BURGLARS.
It was much too this a night to think of
going to bed stones. and so. although the
Witching hour of 9p. in. had struck. Ed-
wsrd and l were still leaning out of the
open window in our nightshirts. wstchlns
the play of the cedar branch shadowson
the moonlit lawn. and plnnnlnir schemes of
fresh devlltry for the sunshlny morrow.
From below, strains of the jocund piano
declsred that the Olympians were enjoying
themselves in their listless impotent wsy,
for the new curate had been hidden to din-
ner that night sud was st the moment un-
clsriully proclaiming to All the world M

tlons doubtless started a trsln of thought
in Edward’s mind. for the youth presently
remarked. apropos of nothing tbst bud
been said before. “I believe thensw curate's
rather gone on Aunt Maria."
I scouted the notion. "Why. she's quite
old!" I said. She must have seen some

"Didn't know she had any money." I ob

“Sure to have." mid my brother, with
confidence. “Heaps and heaps.”
Silence ensued, both our minds being
busy on the same problem-how this con-
dition of things. if it existed. could he
turned to stivsntuge.i
“Bobby Ferris told me," begun Edwlrd
in due course, “that when a fellow wss
spooning his sister once. they used to em-
ploy him to carry notes and messages and
things between them, and he got 3 shilling
almost every time:"
"What, from each of them!" I innocently
luquired.
Edward looked at me with scornfnl pity.
”Girls never hsve any money," be briefly
explained. “But she did his exorcism and
got him out of rows and told stories for
him when he needed lt—iind much better
ones than he could have made up for him-
self. Girls are useful in some wnyn. So he

two quiirreled shout something. Bobby
was fairly cornered. for he had bought two
ferrets on tick and promised to pay a shil-
ling uweek, thinking this happy stste of
things would last forever. Something bed
to be done. of course; so when the week was
up. and he was being donned for the shil-
ling. he went off to the fellow and said:
“Your heartbroken Bells lmplorcs you to

looked puzzled and Mlll. ‘Whnt hollow

At lost the fellow ssid, ‘Well. I think I

Then he got his shilling."
“And wasn’t the fellow riled," I in hired.
