along. 'Bnt on Thursday he strayed alone as far
as the Hoffman House. and went into the art
gallery. He was enjoying the beautiful things
when MIR. White Pine who is known by several
other names. came over to him and said: ''My
dear Mr. Lawrence, this is the most unexpected
pleasure. Ny old friend Watson of Liverpool,
told me might run across you, but really, do
you know, never expected it,"
Lawrence did not exactly recall Mr. Pines
face, but Watson, OF Liverpool, was an old friend
and he was glad to see any friend of Watson.
Pine told him this was great country for lot
teries They run for all kinds OF objects
and one could win anything from So note to
piano. He had just received notice that he had
just drawn an oil painting He was no judge of
paintings, but had often heard Watson tell of the
good judgment Of Mr.. Lawrence. So he suggest
ed a stroll TO the gallery. They strolled. At a
brown-stone house OF Thirteenth street near
Broadway, they went up into the front parlor,
where were many chromos. Pine looked at the
picture he mad drawn, paid So for expressing,
and left orders to nave it shipped to his room
Two or three ticket-owners dropped in. bought
tickets or paid So to have their prizes sent off

be made to change from one to another so that
a close observer could not tell which card the
stars were on. One of Pines friends picked up
three of the cards and showed Lawrence the
game He also explained that occasionally bets
were made in this country that man with good
eyesight could pick out the thresstar card. Law
rcnces betting blood got up. He put up 500 to
500 that he could pick out the three-star card.
He lost. Then he bet $50 and lost again. The
game was one of the liveest he had ever seen,
and he thought it suited him. He decided to go
back to the hotel and get more money. He
made off toward the hotel Lawrence went to
the clerk to get some money from the SAFE while
Pine and his friends who had followed him

friend of his had introduced him to one of the
most novel and fascinating games he had ever
played Capt Moorhead is the hotel detective,
and he took great interest in the game. He
told Mr.. Lawrence to follow him. Both got
