fdon of the Pacific railroads. I think she was the first gambler, man or woman. to work these roads. She started out as a three-card monte worker Her me- hod of enticing her victims was delightfully."- simple, arld yet almost invariably suc- cessful. She would take the train from San Francisco for Ogden, Utah, for in- stance, and she would take her place in sleeper in which some man who looked promising was traveling. Most of her early g'uls were elderly men, whom she selected on account of the complais,ance they usually exhibited, for the sake of peace, when they discovered thny had been swupdl:d. After the train was under way Kate would finally select her man, and begin to arouse his interest and curiosity by her twlnkling eye. She woud not do this in any brazen way, but With coy, fetching manner she had acquired by practice When she saw that she had her victims curiosity suf- fciently stirred she would cease to re- gard him altogether, but would yawn wearily behind her hand and dig into her travelling bag. From the bag she would produce a tiny pack of cards, beautifully embossed, and about a qaur- ter of the ordinary size, and, as if to relieve the monotony of the journey, be- gin to rGay a game of solitaire om her lap. She would keep at this for some time and finally mutter petulant. little exclamations over the difficulty of get ting the game right. Afer repeated ef- forts sale would finally sigh drearily and rest her chin in her hand, as if in deep f,tro ,1J thus meet those of her victim. Just as naturally the victim, sympathizing with the perplexity of the pretty, Spanish girl, and perhaps with other motives, would approach her and gallantly offer to help her out of her difficulty with the solitaire game. Kate would accept the offer, and the victim, if he did not have very long head, indeed-and men were not distinguished for level-headed- ness in the western country in those days-was we'll on the way to losing a good part of his roll.
 of course he would unravel the soli- taire puzzle, which was always of the simplest, in the course of a few at tempts. Then Kate would musingly pick up three of her tiny cards, usually aces, and inquire in a kind of absent minded tone:
 What is that funny, puzzling game with three cards that my brothers were showing me in San Francisco the other day? Oh know! You throw the three cards down, one, two, thnee. like this. crossing them as you throw them, and then you make somebody guess a csr- tain card, isn't it?"
