OLD povERTY's MONUMENT.
From Romance.

From Romance.
"Twenty-one in the red; the
lucky red. Fifteen in the black !;
everybody WINS" This and like
information called out in the quer-
ulous voice of Old Poverty was as
familiar to me as the rattle of chips
and the suppressed voice of the
gamblers.
1t was in Cheyenne, IN 1867.
The railway had just reached the
town and made it western terminus
for several months. Graders, min
ers, soldiers, bull-whackers, mule
skinners, Indians, Cinnamon, Mex
leans, and adventures from every
State in the Union and almost ev-
cry country in the world formed
the greater part of the population.
Money was plentiful and everybody
gambling.
The fascinations of the gambling
halls proved too much for any scru-
pies held, and soon was a con-
slant player. / was generally a
winner, and before long my skilful
playing attracted the attention of
the proprietors of the Wave, and l
was offered the position of dealer
at one of the faro-banks at good
salary and I accepted it.
twas risky occupation. Scarce
ly a night passed without fight in
which guns o. knives yare axn~r1
and not a month went by without
the fatal termination OF some quar-
rel.
had narrow escape one night
when Big Bill Rodgers, the caller
at the roulette wheel was shot dead
by miner who accused him of
stealing his chips. A bullet fired
in the melee whizzed so close to my
head that i felt shaky and nerve
less for several hours after the fight
was over. Rogers was an unpopu-
lar man about the Wave, and when
we found among his effects some
letters giving the names of his peo-
pie back East, it was hard to find
anyone who would take the trouble
to inform them of his death. f.
nally did it, emitting however, the
details of the event.
Big Bills successor was Old Pow
erty. He was a watery-eyed, hol-
low-cheeked, dilapidated wreck who
had haunted the Wave for several
weeks. Three callers at the wheel
had died violent deaths and the
place was not much sought after,
and when Old Poverty asked for it
he got it without any trouble.
Despite his calling, Old Poverty
had an honest look, and he was a
favorite with the rough crowd of
cowboys, graders, and miners that
surged around .he roulette table,
and fights in that corner of the
house became less frequent. His
honest face did not belle him, and
the proprietors of the Wave trusted
thousands of dollars to him with
out the usual watchers employed
to spot the movements of a roulette
caller. He was generous, and every
man about the house knew that if
he should go broke Old Poverty
would stake him il he had the mon
ey.
Where Old Poverty came from !;
what his name was why, with such
an honest, square look in his face,
he was a gambler no one knew or
cared, but certain it was that the
first genuine feeling of sorrow that
entered the Wave was the evening
that Old Poverty failed to show up
for his night trick at. the wheel,
and later on it was learned that o
hemorrhage had sapped his life
blood and he was dead.
He was the first man connected
with the establishment who had
died natural death, and he was
