Sharps! More than, one vessel has tax
en- the special caution to protect passen-
gers from supposed professional gamblers
who were on board The plundering of
rich but unskilled tourists at poker is very
prevalent on the Atlantic just now.
Scores of instances have, been. brought to
light recently OF men who lost large sums
but kept the matter quiet rather than
start an unpleasant investigation. On
the Ieutonlc two men who were suspect
ed of being card sharps were ordered by
Capt. McKinstry to stay in their state
rooms under fear of arrest. At this time

linen the two girls, one a blonde and
the other a brunette, laughed vociferons-

French waiter within hearing, the guests
at three tables, and a negro helper Joined
in the merriment.
Gloom reigned on the face of the bald
headed man. The waiter was getting
fighting mad. In an instant the genuine
"garcon' realized the situation. win
