woman since.
But that amt all, Jack; and It's what /

and thar aip't no great harm done 'cept To

The answer came promptly aud clearly
from the window-sidc: Spot the man, and

But, Jack?'
Hes took the riskH
But will that bring her back?
Jack did not reply. but moved from tho
window toward the door.
Don't go yet, Jack; light the candle,
and sit by the table. It's u comfort to see

Jack besitated and then complied. He
drew pack of cards from his pocket

But Browns face was turned to tho wall.
When Mr.. Hamlin hal shufiled the cards,
he cut them, and dealt one card on the
opposite side of the table and towards

table. for himself. Tho first was deuce |;
his own card king. Ho then shuilied
and cut again. This time the dummy
had n queen, and himself n four-spot.
