CHINESE GAMBLING.
The Usual Domino Resorts Not
Running Yesterday.

Sullivan alley and Spcfford alley had an
almost deserted appearance yesterday.
The usual crowds of excited Chinese going
to and from the resorts where the click of
the domino could always be heard from
morning till night were not to be seen.
The domino games were not running
and the proprietors sat all day looking
longingly at the empty tables. but not
daring to so ahead again and diSobey the
orders Of the Chinese Consul. They were
advised by an attorney yesterday not to
stop the games and he would stand all the
responsibility. He would guarantee that
if they were arrested they could not be
convicted.
If the attorneys advice is acted upon
Sergeant Price says he will at once arrest
those engaged in the game and have the
matter again tested in the courts upon its
merits.
Some weeks ago Chinese arrested for
playing domines were convicted in the

The willfulness with which she had
driven him away died now like a spark
on the hearth, and gave place to an
anxiety which would have rendered her
helpless to get ready for his coming
had not her father sternly bade her
obey.
The unconscious man was brought in
and placed in the bed. While q
physician, who had accompanied the
carriers, was examining his injuries,
Mary followed the men down stairs.
She was thoroughly active and earnest
now, and calling their attention in the
sitting-room, she said:
Men, Reginald Brown has done
this. ] know it, He was here this
afternoon and he threatened Mr..
Blake. Mr. Blake was here tonight,
and when told him of Browns threats

The accusation was as a draft OF air
upon their smouldering hatred Of
Brown. The whispers of the life he
had led in the West sounded again IL
their ears as loud corroborating voices
There was not man in the crowd tc

n leader and marched the crowd 81 e
n Browns residence.
e Notwithstanding his protestations Of
innocence, he was rudely taken from
the house, hurried before Justice
and lodged in Jail to await the result
of Blake's injuries. These were a
broken leg and rib, and an internal
injury which the doctor pronounced
serious. In addition, he had been
almost frozen. Had he not prov
identially lodged against tree. he
would have been dashed to pieces on
the rocks in the gully, or, escaping
these, would surely have persisted in
the awful cold of the night. The mar
rowness of the escape sent a shudder
through all the community, and as the
facts of the case were freely and closely
discussed, opinion as to Browns guilt
became fixed, and indignation increased
as the horrors of lonely death in
Blackman's Gully were graphically de-
tailed.
Meanwhile, with remorseful solicit
tude, Mary Graham watched over
James through the long hours of un-
consciousness. He was near death;
but at lrst one day, when she and her
iather sat by the hearth, talking in
alternate hope and despair, the doctor
came down from the sickroom and told
them that the young man would live;
that he had Just come out of a quiet
sleep; and that, in view of the serious
ness of the charge against Brown, a
question as to his guilt would not harm
the sufferer.
Mary and her father assembled to the
sickroom. and James feebly welcomed
them.
