THE YOUNG GAMBLER.
He Had an Even chance. but FATE
Was Against Him,

l remember N handsome young fell
low whom | used to meet occasionally
on the staircase who captured my
youthful fancy. l met him only at
midday, a. he did not rise till late, and
this fact, with a certain scrupulous ele-
gance and neatness in his dress, ought
to have made me suspect that he was a
gambler. In my ineXperience it only
invested him with a certain romantic
mystery.
One morning as l was going out to
my very early breakfast at a cheap
Italian cafe or Long wharf l was sur
prised to find him also descending the
staircase. He was s~crupulously dress
ed even at that early hour, but l was
struck by the fact that he was all in
black, and his slight figure, buttoned
to the throat in a tightly fitting frock
coat, gave, l fancied, a singular melan.
chOly to his pale southern face.
Nevertheless he greeted me with more
than his usual serene cordiality, and
| remembered that he looked up with
a half puzzled, half amused expression
at the rosy morning sky as he walked
a few steps with me down the deserted
street. l could not help saying that I
was astonished to see him up so early,
and he admitted that it was q break In
his usual habits, but added, with a
smiling significance I afterward re.
membered, that it was IAN even chance
II he did 1t again."
AS we neared the street corner a man
In a buggy drove up impatiently. In
spite of the drivers evident haste my
handsome acquaintance got In leisure
ly and, lifting his glossy hat to me
with a pleasant smile, was driven
away. I have a very lasting recollec-
ton of his face and figure as the buggy
disappeared down the empty street. I
never saw him again. 1t was not until
a week later that l knew that an hour
after he left me that morning he was
lying dead in a little hollow behind the
Mission Dolores, shot through the heart
IN a duel for which he had arisen SO
early.-Bret Harte's Under the Red

WARshlP 70 co TO PANAMA.
ounboat Machias Prepares at HamE
ton Roads for Departure to Colon.

ION hOdub IOT NlN " SS'S's
Washington, Aug. San order was
issued by the acting secretary OF the
navy yesterday for the gunboat Ma
chias, now at the Boston navy yard,
TO proceed without delay to Hampton
Roads and there to prepare Cor de-
parture to Colon near the eastern
terminus of the Panama railroad.
The order to the Machias followed
a conference held at the navy depart.
ment between Acting Secretary of
State Adee and Acting Secretary OF
the Navy Hackett.
Mr.. Adee had the dispatch received
from Consul Gudger, stating that the
re~volutionists had held up a train for
an hour at Marachin on the line of
the railroad across the isthmus and
only about Is miles from Panama City.
While this was not regarded as
threatening an interruption of traffic
or giving any ground TO intervene by
the United States, yet II was deemed
advisable by the officials that one OF
our ships should be in the neighbor
hood in order that suitable observa'
tons could be made and steps taken
to meet any serious emergency that
might arise. For the present officials
do not believe there will be any need
of landing marines. The commander
of the Machias, Lieutenant Command.
er Mason Sergeant, is regarded as ar
officer of tact and ability and besides
this he has had recent experience
in the West Indian waters, having
been in command Of the Scorpion
when it made it's recent trip to La
Guayra.
