was at the Hot Springs Of Arkan-
sas, where only gentlemen and ladies'
not ordinary meL and women go =
Ephraim Taggert Of Mississippi and
Col. Chaales Gordon of Galveston, Te.,
were there, and they were engaged in a
pleasant game of cards. Mr.. Taggart
lost all his money, and then, with two
aces in his hand, put up his watch
against 5000, and called. The Colonel
with much suavity, and like amount
Of presence of mind, showed three aces,
and Immediately raked in the watch.
Then for some remarkable reason Eph-
rain got angry and said there had been
cheating; he never in bis life before
knew that single pack or deck of cards
had five aces Col. Gordon had MOI time
to argue the matter, however. He mere
ly said that he had been insulted and
drawing a knife stabbed Ephraim Tag
garet to the heart, quietly remarking, as
he wiped the blood from his knife, that
he guessed that would settle the it.
The refined society at the Hot Springs
quite unreasonably conceived it a duty,
however, to call upon Col. Gordon at a
sort of court martial. There the Colo
mel stopped to consider the matter in
several Of its bearings, and magnani-
mously explained. There were five
aces 10 the pack that nobody could
deny. But had there never been similar
accidents oefore2 How should he know
that his opponent in the game held the
extra ace? He was not clairvoyant, and
he did not pretend to any extra wisdom
as TO cards. He was gentleman, and
he simply knew that bis honor had Teen
at stake He had played q friendly
game with Ephraim Taggart, and that
person had charged him with cheating.
What might gentleman do? His
hearers must reflect that murder was his
only refuge from blasted character
The statement had its appropriate
effect. The court martial gently censured
Col. Gordon for having been "overhasty
in defending his honor" and then let
him go; and the next dey the body Of
the too thoughtless and unhappy Eph
rain Taggart was gently laid in the
most convenient graveyard.
