LIFE UP ON GAME OF CARDS.
veraclty Club Hears How MnIeteers
AEsused Thenseives Daring a
Trip to south Africa.

They had been speaking Of expert
ences during the trips made TO South
Africa while the war was going on,
and the curious way in which mule
teers often amused themselves, says
the New Orleans Times-Democrat,
"That reminds me Of the heaviest
wager ! ever made" said one OF the
group, "and when tell you that my
life was upon game Of cards you will
understand just how felt for awhile
at least. We had oil become little
sick Of our bargain end had that wild,
desperate sort of feeling which impel

thing equally as foolish, so when IL was
suggested that we enter into q game
Of cards and stake our lives on the re-

I'VE agreed TO play series Of games
TO run through three days, and at the
end Of the third day the man furthest
behind was TO be counted the loser and
dumped overheard. The terms were
agreed 10 without a whimper. The

without a hitch. At the end OF the
third day We began TO count up. II

stood in the game. You can bet | felt
cold about the spine.
FINALLY the result was announced. A
skinny, pale-faced cadaver was the un-
lucky man, and / was a close second.
The loser accepted the announcement
with composure. We at once set about
TO carry out the terms OF the agree
ment. without much ceremony we
simply dumped the man overheard.
We turned our faces from the scene as
quickly as possible, for we did not care
TO see our late eomrade struggling in
the water, and did not want TO hear
his cries for help"
After slight pause the narrator
went on; I'VE went on to South Ar

When on myway back somehow I knew
when we got to the place where we had
dumped our friend into the sea. The
moon was up. and the water was SHIN
mering as brightly as II IL had been
surfaced with the molten silver. Al
most In the shadow of the ship saw
on the crest Of q wave the calm, con-
tented face of my friend, serene In its
resignation, infinite in its placidity, as
II rose and fell with the swash Of the
tide. But the ship kept on. and we
soon passed out OF sight"
The crowd yawned.
Losing the game and being dumped
INTO the sea was not so bad" said the
lean, lank member, "but honestly, ]

And the Veracity club adjourned
without date.
