And by the freight you could see his face looked

His fingers tremeled as he sighed, my precious

Then in the stocking dropped some nuts, and

And, walking TO the door, looked out upon the

Gamblers on Railway Trains.

A BRIEB description of some of the prin-
cipal gamblers whose names have become
familiar to the experienced traveller on the
/ railroad from this city to New York, and
especially from New Haven to the me-
tropolis, seems almost demanded. Gam
blers and pickpockets are reaping rich
harvest on this route, despite the very per-
sistent efforts of the railroad corporations
to GUST them; and nothing will make them
shrink back so quickly as seeing their
portraits in print.
The trav-le- by the afternoon train,

| naturally is business mans resort on a
long iourney-shortly after the train
leaves New Haven, midle-sized, fair
| looking man, about thirty eight years old,
| wearing short black whiskers reaching
| under the chin, and curling round the
| face. He generally wears silk lat and
| dark brown broadclotn clothes. He is
| neither brilliant nor stupid looking in
| dividIal; his eyes alone are quite keen
He might be taken fof a country school
master or village lawyer were it not for
| the searching chances of suspicion he gives
before he proceeds to busiP sss. He is the
"stool- pigeon" or gambler number one of
the party.
This man steps quickly through the car,
generally at New Haven, stops few mo-
ments at the door, quietly and modestly
surveys the passengers. He then selects
vacant seat, if possible IN the immediate
vicinity Of several gentlemen whe are
talking together, and generally mingles in
the conversation.
| Ere long the door opens again, and an
entirely different specimen enters. This
is gambler number two, who has some
thing of the "Bowery" air about him. He
has red, full face, fringed about with
| short, red hair; wears round-top
slouched hat, is dressed with general air
of cerelessness, is between twenty five
and thirty years old, under medium size,
probably weighs 40 He usually selects
seat at some little distance from his COM
rade and interests himself with the country
boys and confident young men.
Gambler number three is not long now
in making his appearance AS he swings
open the car door with nervous energy he
would almost be taken for banking or
insurance clerk, or some down town book
keeper who lives fast. He wears this
season wide band soft hat, short cutaway
coat, tight pants, q bit of jewelry is about
thirty years old, weighs perhaps 100, short
in stature, fair face, with no especial dis
tinguishing characteristic He takes in
the situation, whatever it may be, at a
| glance, and gets seat, if possible, in the
front end of the car facing the passengers
He looks about a few moments, then
