gagged in the game. After had progress

who was closely observing the game,
handed to the dealer IS piece. The
dealer, surprised, asked him why he had
done so: when he was told that he the
strangely had lost it fairly, as he had
bet in his mind on the queen. After
several deals the stranger gave the deal
er so, making statement similar to the
first; whercupon the banker pocketed
the money, thinking that he had found
lunatic
After Il short time had elapsed, the
passengers, startled by a most terrific
veil. looked in wonder and alarm at the
contortions of the stranger, who jumping
about the group. cried out at every
jump:

"Why. I've won $3.50. | bet in my

As the banker had permitted him to

pay him the money. The stranger re-
ceived the money, and also a request to
be more audible in his bets. |tcksbury
