"BALDY" MoNSON'S SCALP.
How IL Was Won by Lucky Bafd-
win In ~ Faro Game.

During the time that gambling was
in its glory on the Pacific coast" said
an old Californian, Lucky Baldwin
was easily the most daring chance tax
err of all the notable argonauts. Bald
win did some amazing stunts in that
day of all day and all night drinking,
when overmellow men. most of them
with riches so suddenly acquired that
they hadn't had time to stop and figure
on how much they possessed, tried TO
outvie one another in the capers they
cut with the Lady Fortune.
zone night in the late fifties Lucky
as he was then called. walked into the
famous old Alcatraz club on Kearney
street in San Francisco after having
been religiously stunning his bed for
about three days and nights running
and in that shape Lucky was, in those
days ready for anything.
"A famous dealer in tine AlcatraZ
club-the biggest gambling establish
ment on the coast at the time-was
Badly Monsoon. SO called because his
pol! was bare of hair as pat of butter,
except for n tiny patch that remained
right on the crown of his head. 1t ha6
been a cowlick. and. with consistent
stubbornness. 1t had refused TO go when
the rest of 'Baldy's' hair had departed.
Baldwin strolled over to where
Badly Monson was acting as lookout
for the faro game, preparatory to TAX
ing hold of the box himself, and draw
ing Monson's head down Lucky began
to count the hairs that the dealer had
left on the top of his head.
How many have you got leftT
Baldwin asked of Monsoon
Eighteen of em an inch or more
long, the last time they were counted
soberly replied Badly There may be
some trihing short ones besides in the
tuft but they don't figure
Eighteen, ehT said Lucky Well.
it's just foolishness to be packing
around only eighteen hairs. Turn me
the king, open. for $4,000. and if I win
your eighteen hairs go with the pot
how's that:'
Badly glanced inquiringly at the
proprietor of the club. who was stand
ing by. and his employer gave him the
nod. Monson took the dealers chair
and began the deal. The king won
down near the middle of the box. and
the proprietor of the club scrawled a
check for $4,000 on the Bank of Cali
fornia and handed it over to Baldwin.
:" Lucky shipped the eighteen hairs
off Badly Monson's head with the
razor edged blade of his pocketknife.
had the housekeeper at his hotel tie
them up in tiny pink ribbon, with a
double bow to set them off, and ex-
hibited the tuft in the window of the

Highland Nakeshifts.

A few years ago accommodations in
the highlands of Scotland were very
primitive. 1t Is related that the young
Duchess of Gordon. on inquiring how
the late duchess managed toentertain so
much company at Kinrara. where there
seemed no room, was told by the butler
that for weeks at time he had slept
on The top of the kitchen dresser. A
niece and two other young ladies were
known to have slept in the duchess
bedroom, which probably was not large.
for they We're sent out to wash in the
neighboring brook. Miss Macdonell OF
Glengarry, who told this. said also that
there was a waterfall near Ochtertyre
which the late Sir William Murray and
his brothers used as their shower bath
