Catching

An innocent farmer boy in Kansas
learned from his uncle how to work
a simple trick with cards. 1t looked
so much like a sure thing to his friends
that by county fair time he had SIS
in money and a cultivated appetite for
short cuts to success. At the fair the
usual fakir put the inevitable brass
watch chain n glass-set ring in the
cOrnucopia, along with the time-hon-
ored prize box containing from l cent
up TO $40. The corner of the $40 bill
often stuck right out of the box
overlooked by the fatuous fakir.
And so presently the farmer boy had
six lots Of jewelry, worth perhaps 80
cents, and six little pasteboard boxes,
each containing l cent. He borrowed
a quarter to get something to eat and
walked sadly home.
But the fakir was glad. There a
been other bright farmer boys in the
crowd and rad had been brisk. That
evening he sorted and counted nearly
500 with a hot and eager heart, for
he was only twenty miles from Abb
iene. where there was a faro game, and
he had worked out an infallible sys-
TEN for beating the tiger.
The man who ran this faro game
knew perfectly we'll that there was an

day the fakir borrowed a few dollars

Now, the simple farmer boy knew
perfectly well that his friends were

bet on his trick. It amused him to
see how foolish they were. And the
fakir was acutely aware that the sim

it was clear to the faro man that the
fakir was going to be cleaned out: he
had thoughtfully fixed the game to
that end. And the bucket shop pro-
prietor had not the remotest doubt that
the faro mans roll would remain in
his possession: certainly he wasn't
