acter living not more than q thousand
miles from Phoebe, one of those fellows
who 60 against the roaring tiger under
the delusion that it is no trick at all to
capture him, he assaulted the beast
few nights since and got away with
hundred or so. To make sure of his i'll
gotten gains, in case he should tempt
tickle fortune again, the greater portion
was placed in the hands of friend. &C.
companied with the usual instructions in
such cases, not to give it to him if he
called for it that night. There was moth
ing wrong about that. Strange, but true,
the destinations of the game again at
tracted the individual we have in our
minds eye, and flushed with victory. the
animal was attacked at once without any
preliminary maneuvering. Fortune had
changed her smiles into frovns, and in
less time than it takes to tell it this sport
i've individual withdrew vanquished.
The next most natural thing in the world
was to find the friend with whom the de-
post had been made. The agreement
ment was now null and void 30 far as the
depositor was concerned. If he had
rashly placed the money in his friends
hands in the fancied security that there
would be no further use for it that night,
he was now ready to count all such
things as nothing. 1t was money he
wanted. The friend was found and a
demand made for the money he had so
confdingly deposited with him. The
friend replied, mot cent tonight !"
whereat our gambling friend became ex-
asperated and made all manner of threats;
among 9th ers, he would have him ar.
rested, etc. but it was no go. Our de.
voice of the green cloth finally retired
the most discounted individual imagin.
able, declaring that was the last of hif
money any one should ever hold. But
this is but one of the common everyday
occurrences. This is but a companion
picture, where there is occasion for tn,
remark: 81 gives it to you and VIM
it back"
