faith in luck, but l was pretty nearly
converted on this trip. A blonde-mus-
tached Virginlan named Mack Hardy
was a steady loser for the first two
hours. He played 'em we'll but when
ever he had big hand somebody else
always had one just a bit bigger, and
on a bluff some fellow with more Gu
riosity than nerve or judgment would
call him down. At just II o'clock he
got up from his chair and walked back
ward around the table thirteen times,
offering no explanation for his strange
conduct. On the next deal he had
a pair of treys, raised it when it came
his say, stood two raises from other
players and set it back the limit. Both
the others stayed in holding up an ace
and didn't improve; each OF the 9TH
ers drew only one card. Hardy put
up a magnificent bluff never saw
low hand played better, with all the
feints of assured nervousness, frequent
glances at his hand, etc.
He drove one man out who had
aces up and had the other on the run,
when gust of wind through the open
door scattered the third players hand.
one card getting mixed up with the
discards. OF course, that hand was
dead-the four remnants of what had
been a queen straight-and Hardy
swept something like 1915 into his hat.
He didn't even have to show his treys.
for his Opponent had not put up on the
last raise, although just about to do
so when the wind killed his hand Now.
wasn't that luck? Or what do you
