The Priestly Cripple and the Sharper

Dupely" Dodge once famous
gambler, is dead. He never cheated
except when he met a sharper.
"Say, stranger" one of these smart
Alecks, who had a confederate with
him, once said to Mr.. Dodge on a
Mississippi steamboat, 'just help
me out with hand. Your church
will never know it, and few les
sons in the game will never hurt
your soul" They were deceived by
his sanctimonious air, and evident
ly mistook him for a Methodist
preacher. "Dupely" made some
inquiries about the game and then
took a seat at the table just to
"oblige" them. Pretty soon the
smart Alecks began putting up the
cards on the guileless looking stran-
ger, and Mr.. Dodge, noticing it
quietly slowed away an ace in his
sleeve and awaited developments.
He always liked to catch sharper
in his own trap. At the proper
time the man who had proposed
the game dealt "Dupely" three aces
and took four kings unto himself.
The betting was steep and the
sharper was led to the end Of his
rope.
"What have you got?' he asked
as he threw down four kings.
-Four aces" was "Dupely's" plea
of guilty.
"You have, have you; you priest
ly cripple; and you have my money
haven't your
II have" answered "Dupely.
damn your eyes" said the
sharper.
| Amen" was the pious ejacula
ton of the old sport, as he took
the wad and put it out Of sight.
