for games of chance, particularly
poker, and he and Mr.. Gates sat
down to friendly game when mu-

The game progressed until late in
the evening. Finally there was a
Jack pot Of substantial proportions
The Chinaman opened it and drew
| one card. Mr.. Gates drew one card
also.

nese merchant, thru the interpreter.

Gates.
