 Don't you get out of patiencep "No, ma'anl, don'tl On one or two occa- sions you have seen fit to raise a row be cause beat you four games out of five, and have said that 1 would never play with you again However, if you think you can keep your temper, and if you want to learn the game of euchre so as to be able to take a hand in company, will spend the next half hour in trying to teach you"
 And if happen to beat. you won't won't"-
 'l won't whati Mrs. Bowser. you are act ing very strange for a sensible woman If you are afraid you will lose your temper, and want to cut my throat, why, don't play" Shall we play according to Hoyler Certainly Hoyle is the standard Whats the use of playing if we don't play according to the standard' Now, then, it's my deal" Beg pardon, but Hoyle says we must cut for deal"
 He does. ehi will bet you slOOOO to a cent he says the man deals firstr'
 "Very well-here it is: The players cut for deal, and be who cuts the lowest card is entitled to the deal"
 "Oh, well, if you are going to stickle over a little point like that I shall know what to expect. Cut"

 ''Cackling already, are you9" be exclaimed ns he took the deck Mrs Bowser, I'll make you very sick woman before we play three ganlesl"
 He turned up hearts, and as l had four of them ordered him up.

 got every one, and Mr Bowser showed
  amazement. dealt the cards and turned up a diamond l had the joker and the right and left, while he happened to hold five others l saw him smile sweetly, but as took three tricks and made my point, he rose up and whispered
 "I don't wonder that some ministers de nounce card playinsl l can sec where it Is wickedl"
 "Where"
 You stacked that handl"
 'Mr Bowserr
 "Of course you didl You deliberately robbed me of two points in the Garuol"

 He took tho first two tricks, but took the next three and euchred him.
 "l expected you to-" he said in explana- ton. "lndeed, can give you four points on every game and then beat you" He scored one point on the next hand, and l one on the next. l was then three to one and having a strong hand made march and went out.
 And do you call that playing cardsr' he deSlanded as he sprang up.
 Certainly. Mir. Bowser. You saw every card as it was played l have beaten you two straight games"
 'l never will believe itl You nigged ms out of them"

 He shufled, dealt and turned up hearts Luck was with me. he'd the joker and two bowers, and passed.
 "Oh, you dol Well, should think yol would It's wonder you didn't order ID up"
 When be found himself eGchred he turnec white and gasped:

 You gave them to me, Mir Bowscr"
 "Noverl You took 'em of the packr'
 finally half satisfied him that l didn't and dealt and turned up spades. He passe' with four in his hand, and l turned it down
 ''I order you upr' be shouted.
 But you can't; I've turned it down."

 ''Find me the plnce"

 "What has Catfish Jim and BEn,5o Bi donel l wouldn't have your conscience fc all the money in Detroit"
 He returned to his reading and to h sewing, and nothing more was said about i A night or two afterwards, however, when number of us had gathered at neighbours 1 play few games, Mr. Bowser confidential remarked to my partner at the tsb!o: , Say. Jones, you arc in luck. I've learne : her how to play almost os good game as ? can. Before the winter is out she'll be ab to beat me twice cut of five. "-Detrcit Frt Press.
