there was skill a-plenty. So reason

big mans bets without attracting at

a turn, till I had lost a couple of dol

of a hundred on the queen to win.
The queen lost.
'Then / went back to my 50-cent
bets again for whole deal, and lost
a few, but as / happened to win one
or two I still had about twelve left,
and I coppered another Of his bets

looked mighty black, but I cashed In

That's one way, and an easy one if
you play it right, to beat a crooked
game, but there are others. If you
know game is really crooked, the
thing to do is to find out just what the
dealer is trying to do and how he does

about the cards afterwards.

big man they called Strong had

were six in the game-and Doc looked
at his cards carefully before playing
further.
"Of course, I couldn't tell whether
he was thinking of laying down, or OF
raising back, but he came in without
raising. The next man laid down, and
the next, whom they called Bill, raised

hundred dollars in the pot when IT
came to him, and he raised it fifty.
'It was on his deal, and from what
had happened it was plain that Strong,

chance of raising, and that Bill on the
first round had not cared to disclose
his strength. But one of three things
were certain.

hands, or one or the other was bluff

determining which of these things was
true; but 1t came to me like a flash
that Bill had given Doc strong hand
and that he and Strong were going
to raise him out of it, or at least try
to do so.

Difficult Horseback Feat.

There are no better horsemen in the
world than the cavalry officers Of the
Italian army, yet even among them
there are very few who could perform
the feat recently achieved by one of
them.
To run an ordinary foot race is easy
enough, but to run at full speed for
several hundred yards holding in one
hand a spoon on which rests an egg
and to reach the goal without dropping
the egg is a feat which must be prac-
ticed carefully long time before it
can be performed successfully, and as
result there are not many who can
be sure of accomplishing it whenever
they try. Great, therefore, was the
surprise when an italian officer mount,
ed on horseback performed this uifi'
cult feat. Moreover, he selected a
course in which there were two OF
three high fences, and these he cleared
at full gallop without losing the egg
