He threw three and I quickly threw

He threw three and 1 quickly threw
aces.
"'You win, you lucky dog he said
with a laugh. You don't owe me any
thing
"Ti throw you for a bunch of roses
exclaimed one of the women
Done was the reply, and the wom-
an won.
Then they threw for fun for more
flowers, for candy. for a bracelet and
other things and my employer had
fearful luck. He couldn't win a thing.
Hang it all, Green he cried, ap-
parertly in a fit Of petulance, I can't
win. Come, I'll throw you once for IS,
just for luck
Il threw skies to his fours and won,
OF cou1s Sc. Then Mr.. Smith and Mr..
Clay. who had been interested all
along, took a hand.
THE wine had been flowing freely
all this time n they were pretty well
fixed. Mr.. Gray wanted to throw for
SD and was accommodated. He won.
Then he made it $40 and won again.
NJ Smith got I'm for a throw of $50
and was successful. There was more
VINE. and my employer, whose name
was MI. Brown, paid his losses like a
game sport.
"There was more wine and more
good cigars. The women retired to
the drawing room and there was more
music, but the shaking of dice con-
ttnued. Mr.. Smith n Mr.. Gray kept
throwing aces n skies right along to
derces, threes and tours by Mr.. Brown.
II never saw such luck in my life,'
exclaimed Brown. Did your
MY Smith and Mr.. Gray confessed
that they never had. The stakes had
been Increasing in value until now it
was 800 a throw. Mr.. Brown won a
couple and lost a couple. His guests
were in high feather.
Let's make one throw of 81, 00O,'
suggested Mr.. Brown, as he lit a fresh
cigar and opened another bottle.
We'll go you between u.s. replied
Gray and Smith. as they counted out
81 900 on the table.
Brown covered the money and Gray
threw threes. Brown took the box in
his right hand and shook it lone and
carefully. Then he dropped the cubes
on the green baize and skies resulted.
AS he gathered his pile of greenbacks
in he smiled and said:
"'Gentlemen, the luck has turned
at last
B u the words had scarcely been ut
tered when both Gray and Smith
sprang at him and all three went roll
ing on the floor. The negro servant
jumped out from behind the door,
armed with a %bludgeon. The women
rushed in, one of them with a knife
and the other with a cane.
But Gray covered them with a cock
ed revolver and Smith leveIed another
shooting iron at the negro and me, for
they We're both sitting on Brown.
We don't want a thing, but our
co1n,' said Gray. It's a clever game,
but We're on. It's an electric magnet
in the table and the dice are controlled
by it. We had the same game up in
Buffalo during the exposition. It's a
peach. Why, Brown, don't you know
Kelly and Ryan, of C~hicago?'
well, I'll be jiggered,' was Browns
of surprise. Who'd a
thought it?'
Then there was a great laugh and a
general handshaking bee. The green
baize was removed from the table and
sure enough in the center Of the board
was a metal piece, a foot square, which
was nothing but a magnet connected
by wires with a battery concealed in a
closet. A button on the floor close bv
Browns chair turned the current off
and on.
1.-THE dice were fitted with tiny metal
screws on certain sides which an
swered the command of the magnet at
the will Of the operator. The outfit
cost Brown 8 5000, Brown said, and had
paid for itself several times over since
it was first put in.
1T is needless for me to say hat
was discharged on the spot for being
unable to tell two slick Western gam
blers when I saw them drinking wine
among business men and others of re-
pute."

known by that alias, is one of the well
dressed men who stand before certain
Broadway hotels every afternoon. -
