"'I'll go ten blind, says Enright,
that what Poets states is right Fe-
males is mighty funny that away
about takin money from strange
men. an it has come to my notice
the deal bein resemblesome to this
LAS how they seem to regard every
bill a rattlesnake. Now yere's how
we fixes it, Poets brings this female
to the New York store, we mean
while adjournin similar The Red
Lights all right, only it amt no
place for the caucus we oontem-
plates.
Nov this yere is how Wen do,
says Enright. Wen stampede over
to the store, as remarks. an then
when we're located Doc Peets'll
bring in the girl Then Poets up an

An the girl replies mebbY It's Jim

oiable an says: Jim Jonesp Not old
Jones of Friscop Why, me an Jim

mighty guileful, ag'in using any of
her Uncle Jim's dust, onless it's
forced play some 'ers along the trail.
As to said sum / owes her Uncle
Jim, why, we makes it up by chip
pin in. as was suggested by Dan
Boggs.
"'We takes another round of
drinks on this, barkeep says Boggs.
You can gamble old man Enrlght
gets her straight every time.
$50 we all drinks in admiration
of Enright, an then Cherokee Hall,
who deals faro in the Red Light
gets his stack in.
Mr.. Enright and gents, says he,
i don't aim to seem romantic, but
I'm in favor of sparin the feelings
of this yere female AT the same
time we lines her out for her Uncle
Jim, as suggested. Now, what I
says is this: Stead of givin this
female the money s'pose we makes
five or six poker games out of this
yere assembly--say 5000 table stake
AN rakes on tens or better showed,

the rake. BY pursooin of(this course
we encourages trade, provides the
money. an the girl amt under obi
cations to nobody nor nothfn.

the store, like Enright says, while
rounds up the girl.
We'll, that's how we do it. We
works round the girl too easy. En-

he lies. Old man Enright kisses his
old pard's niece, an Poets comes in
similar, cause he knows her broth

pony it takes heap of woe off the
girl.
"'Say, Doc, whispers Nell as we
goes over to the Red Light to open
the poker games, tell her to sleep
in my room tonight. won't have to
need it, cause this yere game we're

But don't you never tell her whose
