FIGHTING THE TIGER.

Scme years ago was in a gamb-
ling house in Cincinnati, q silent look
er.on at a game of faro. In those
days such operations were carried or
rather openly and almost under the
eyes of the authorities, unbarred doors
so that any one could walk in, either
in the capacity Of a better, or a mere
spectator. In that capacity l found
myself, near midnight, when the door
Of the den opened. Just as the game
began to flag, and not a sound was
heard but the click Of the checks, and
the rattle of some dishes u darkey
was placing on a table, in walked q
tall, rawrboned country looking chap
he walked right up to the only va.
cant place at the table, and, drawing
from a side pocket an enormous calf.
skin wallet, which looked as if il
might contain at least a thousand, - in
five and tens, addressed the dealer:
5y,"Look here, Mister, Pm going to
fight this here Tiger up to the ninesl-
Understand me, l alters fight to the
death; that Isl until break you or YOU
break me!
"Very good" said the dealer, "yor
