An Astonished Gambler.

There is gambler in st. Paul who
will not try to do up another telegraph
operator in n hurry. A night operator
in one of the big railroad Offices has
quite local reputation as poker-play-
er, and as poker was also the favorite
game of the gambler, they arranged to
have friendly game. 1t occurred in
the railroad Office, no one else being
present except the operator on d; ty.
For tho first time in his life the gam
bler's luck did not come to his aid, and
his opponent Won on nearly every
hand, or else laid down when the gam
bier had good cards. inally the gam
bier had four Kings, made small bet,
and tho operator refused to call The
action had become s. monotonous that
the gambler reached over and ran the
cards that the operator had laid down
To lis surprise they were three queens
and pair of tens. "What in did
you lay that down on 81 bet for ?" no
exclaimed, adding, II guess I've got
enough" The secret of The operators
lack was that the other operator, sit
ting where he could see the gamblers
cards. had te!egraphed each card when
it was picked up, thus enabling the
player TO know how to play the game.
