Here he leaned back with bland smile
and picked his teeth with Prof Bricks
stylograph, while Mr.. Cyanide Whites
almost swooned with exc cement. Every
body passed out promptly, a public In
terest centred in Mr.. Williams.

llams, who had just treasured himself
that none of the jacks had got away.
''Daps de capah," replied Mr.. Smith.
"Times am hard IN Use got sickness in

added, in hOarse whisper to Prot. Brick.
MIR. Williams hesitated no longer.

Here he glared at Mr.. Whites in
way that made that gentIeman's blood run
cold.
The Rev. Thankful Smith skinned his
cards again and smiled more sweetly than
before.

Williams eyes brightened-"I dassent

And suiting the acJiOn to the word the
reverend gentleman tossed out a roll OF
bills carelessy and became more benev0-
lent than ever. A catalepsy seemed TO
have descended upon the party, and Mi.
Whites swOuued.
Mir. Williams was shocked, but pres
emily collected himself sufficiently to tal-
ter:
'I-Pll dervide pc pot wifi yo',"
"DOan' do it, FOOT" replied the Rev.
Mr.. Smith. Call me N take de whole
hog. "
MIR. Williams held another private mus
ter of the jacks, and then drew a blank
check from his pocket, filled it out, and
tossed it airily upon the table. The Rev.
Mr.. Smith took up.
"Whad's dis? ?" he inquired.
"My CHECK" replied Mr.. Williams, with
slight hauteur, Ion de HoDoken Bank"
he added,
"HoS much yo' sell dis papah fer by de
ream?' asked the Rev. Mr.. Smith.
Mr.. Williams explained that that par
tIcuIar check called for $ll3, payable
| when presented TO the bank, and as,
therefore, worth its face value. TIE Rev.
Mr.. Smith's only reply was to draw in the
| pot and begin folding up the hills.
"Whadier doln'?' said Mr.. Williams,
eXcitedly. "Leggo datpOlW

Prof. Brick said the mathematics
of that proposition were entirely correct
and fair TO both parties.
"Pse plane. Ole-fash'n camp meetin'

Mr.. Williams felt he had committed
himself in very painful manner, and the
club adjourned.
