It was one Of the handsomest|

the passengers bound for
Vicksburg were a Georgian
and his wife, who have felas
tives in Mississippi.
He was a large-sized, hand
some looking man, and she
was a pleasant looking little
woman, with blue eyes and
short chestnut curls. One

He sat smoking with other
gentlemen alters she adretiredl
to her .state-room, and the
cabin was entirely clear Of la.
dies, when some one proposed
a game of cards. In ten min
utes, after half a dozen men
were shutting caasover cabin
tables, and the Georgian was
matched againsta a stranger to
all on board. He was q aquiet,
courteous, well-dressed man,
and had been taken for q tray-
eller in search Of health. He
was lucky with his cards, but
he did not propose playing for
stakes. ta II was the 1ettleedl
Georgian who proposed il j i H[s F[9
called himself ns'el1',s4 4 .';F9 champion
hand at poker, and when he
found that he had met his
equal he determined to test
the strangers financial metal.
| They had fifty dollars on the
table when the captain looked
into, the cabin. He caughtIthe
Georgilaan's ia eye and gave him
to understand that his oppo-
nent was a river black leg. but
the other gentlemen had drop
ped their cards and crowded
around, money was up, and the
information had come too late.
Besides, the Georgian was do
ing well enough, and he f1atter-
ed himself that he could teach
the courteous blackleg a les
son. s
| It was a very quiet group
around the table, and after the
play had continued for fifteen
minutes the gentlemen spoke
in whispers, and some Of them
were reminded Of old times on
the Mississippi when gamblers
had the full run of every boat.
| The Georgian had luck with
him Il q from the start, and while
be looked smiling and conf g #
dent, the gambler appeared to
grow excited and uneasy. His
money was raked across the
table until the Georgian had
5000 in greenbacks before him.
/ The stakes had been light np
to- this time, both men
seeming to fear each other'e
skill. The Georgian proposed
to increase them, and the gam
bier agreed. In ten minutes
| the latter had his 5000 back
