WAITING FOR THE DAWN.
How Four Poker Hands Were Held
asesi All Night In the Dark. ~

A soldier tells this poker story, which
E incidentally accentuates the distrust with
Rhich poker players regard one another
, Hwhen friendship ceases and the faith a
man has in the hand he holds:
One night after taps four men gathers
ed in a'tent to do away with their pay
1t was the night of pay day, and there
was no convenient place in which to
spend their money except over cards.
The game had gone on with varying
fortune here and there. 1t was after
midnight. The sentry was chum and
had been told not to see the light in the
tent. At last a jackpot was on the
board and had been .'sweetened" until 1t
was very tempting. Every one was in it,
and it was worth before the open about
$40. When one of the players opened it,
every one staid and drew cards.
The edge had e full house, the next
man four tens. the third man four
queens and the dealer four aces. The
opener threw dollar into the pot. The
next man raised, and 1t was raised and
reraised until it was beautiful to see.
At this point there was a scurry of
footsteps ourNsie. The sentry rushed in,
grasped the lantern and dashed it out,
jerking and extinguishing it as he did so.
As he disappeared he whispered hoarsely;
"Oficer@ 9nm
InstinctiTely four hands went out in
the darkness and spread themselves over
the pot. while four other hands closely
clutched Ave cards each.
Hold o., fellows" whispered the deal
err. EVERY one take his hand off the
table and keep it off until the light comes
back. Won just sit here and nurse our
cards. My hands good enough to wait
for"
"So's mine," said the others.
Then they waited. Slowly the night
passed, growing chillier and more chill
in it's going. The sentry was cursed, the
officer was cursed, but still they sat. At
last the first glimpse of gray appeared in
the sky. and as soon as it grew light
enough the four played their hands and
tumbled in for a few minutes sleep be
fore the bugle called them out again
