Veteran River Man Tells

20 course, nobody but the players
themselves knowed what the buried
card was. but Weston had bet $40 on
his pair shown, an the stranger had
seen him without raisin, so it looked
like he hadn't any pair an was stayin'
for flush. % course. Weston might
ha had two pairs, or three treys.

like that will show you how to do it.
AN, quick as lightning he grabbed
the cards an spread 'em all over the

Then with another sweep as quick as
that, with both hands, he punched 'em.
an rifffed 'em once an dealt out two

Feared like he thought Weston
would take 1t as a~matter O. course
that he'd been caught, an the on'y
thing that was goifl's to trouble him
was to see that the stranger could do
his own stunts so much better'n he cd

i don't know but what Weston
might ha took it that way if them two
had been alone, but there was three or
four besides me lookin on an some
on 'em sort laughed. l. felt like laugh
in myself, but I knowed a good deal
about Weston. an I KEEP a straight

But the stranger he looked round
