THERE WAS CHEATING.
tns simpkins Was Compelled to Tell How
He Knew IL.

Over the river virtuous spasm came
upon the authorities, and lot of "gams'
were pulled" Among other witnesses
for the state the name of Simpkins was
called.
Mr.. Simpkins, who was pasty faced
young man, rose from his seat and walked
to the witness stand. After the oath had
been administered to him and the usual
preliminary question had been asked, no
was told to go on and tell his story.
1T was this way" said Mr. Simpkins,
II like TO play a little poker once In
awhile, and went up into this room and
sat In a game. There were four others be-
sides myself playing. Things ran along
pretty evenly for awhile and then one of
the men-l have since learned that he was
the proprietor of the room-began to win
heavily. watched him and became con-
WINGED that he was cheating. Finally
knew he was cheating and drew out of the
game. Then sat and watched him for
awhile, and l saw him deal big hands to
the man he wanted to beat, and then deal
himself bigger ones. 1t was scandalous.
He stacked the cards and held them out,
and did all sorts of disreputable things. I
saw this and am prepared to prove it. If
there is anything abhor, it is cheating

corrupted the prosecuting attorney. "What
was 1t that first attracted your attention
to the fact that cheating was going on?"
Mr.. Simpkins fldgeted bit in his chair
and then said, "Why, was in a pot with
this man, and when 1t came to show
down, he had four kings?"
"And why did that convince you that he
was cheating?"
"Because-because" stammered Mr..
Simpkins, and then he stopped short
ANSWER the question, Mr.. Simpkins, v
put in the judge.
Mr.. Simpkins grew red In the face
because he finally said, "why, knew
he was cheating because he showed dowr

sheer misery. He screamed, he beat his
arms, he groaned, and Rolf, seeing this
unusual conduct in his master, began to
think something was the matter. The
dog had been frisking around barking
at birds, who were now far distant. and
SHINING for rabbits who didn't appear.

stood there where the ground was firm.

tail and started.
And the mud crawled slowly up, up
on the boy, till it covered his knees and
was half way to his hips; then reached
his hips; then deeper, deeper he settled.
1t was almost at his waist now, and he
calculated how much longer it would
be before it came to his mouth and
nose, for when that happened it meant
life would be over, and no more would
he be among these scenes to which he
was ccustomed-no more sedge grass
no m re- bay shore, no more chinquapir

And Rolf did understand. In his dos

enough breath to make strange move

"If father had lived, he wouldn't

"Maybe he wouldn't, but l don't

more defiant. "Say, let up, won't you?
