Final Best Hand.

81 was in the hotel OF little New Eng
land village" said Theodore Sutro, when
he and party of friends were exchanging
stories In an uptown hotel About a
table sat three strangers who had started
a friendly game of poker by roping in the
usual country jay. After an hours play
they had fleeced their victim to the tune
of $40. He was good natured and did not
growl. and SO the game was continued.
The scoundrels showed no mercy. They
did not let the victim win even a few dol
lars to encourage him, but either booked
the cards or else whipsawed him. until he
was forced to drop.
Forty dollars had swelled to $50, and
at the last pot the country jay was $50
loser.
Have you had enough?' asked the
leader of the gang, rising with a smile
and his winnings.
1.-THE Jay looked angry, and quietly draw
ing revolver from his pocket, said:
Gentlemen, am one of the selectmen
of this town You may consider yourselves
under arrest
THE gang, awestruck, was led 10 the
lookup, where it rested for the night.
ION the following morning they were
brought before the selectnan.- The con-
stable had searched them and had placed
the contents of their pockets on the table.
Gentlemen, you are charged with gam
bling and with obtaining money by fraud.
What have you to say?'
"They had few remarks to make. The
sentence interested them Hore-a fine Of
$50 each or thirty days In the county Jail
They paid the fines and the money went
to the State-or to the selectman. Next
morning the jay bought new set of chips
