"a an instant ne was unconscious OF the
suggestive fact that card tables were being
brought forth from odd corners while the
rattle Of ivory chips echoed pokerishly
through the room.
Harlan Otis, Bob Vincent, Ned Rogers
and Arthur Harrington made one Of the
quartettes. Three tables were soon In full
blast, while those who were either too
sleepy or too Indifferent to joinin the great
American game either wandered off YEARLY
to their own rooms or drowsily watched
the play Of their less punch-penetrate
comrades.
Otis, who was the cleverest player In the
room, was not In good form. From the
very first he lost steadily while Ned Rog-
ers, a thin, cadaverous, sharp-eyed youth,
who detested his handsome Uis-1-yis, raked
In the chips with never-varying success

Alice Inman to be his wife had, in its final
analysis, been more OF surprise than
calamity to him. AS we have seen, he had
at once written to Mrs Barr and the out
come of this step had been delightful. He
had passed an afternoon and evening filed
with all that his soul could ask and had
come to Dorlon's punch in a self-satis-
fed frame of mind
At three o'clock in the morning he found
himself out Of touch with the world. He
knew that he had drunk too much rum,
and the conviction offended his manhood.
Therefore, he ordered another glass of
punch. Worse than this, the man OF all
men that he most desplsed was beating him
In game in which he exceIled. Our hero
excuse the old-fashioned expression
grew more heated as he reviewed the
wrongs that fate had done him. His cheeks
became still redder and his eyes flashed
fire. Lighting a cigarette he plunged
recklessly on jack pot The result was
disastrous. Ned Rogers captured the
