and great deal of patience to induce
them to play under the difficulties that
beset party that were playing a few
nights since. They started the game in
q coy room, of the kind above meh-

hard streak, managed to play even, quit |
the game and go to bed, leaving four or |
FIVE others to finish the game. Not |
wishing to disturb his slumbers the party |
left and sought another room. The oc-

through which he climbed, procured the
money, and returned, and the game
went nobly on. The party had been
playing about half an hour when it was
discovered that the "refreshment bottle"

that hour of the night was not to be

who went after the money and refresh

in waking him, explained to him the
sickness Of one of his horses, and asked
for all the kerosene he bad in the stable.
Joe banded it out, the indefatigable
forager returned to the party, filled the
lamps, and the game kept up until day
light. but the "rustler" quit the game
