NEW GAME ON TRAINS.

About Man with Cards and Far Too
Sure-Thing Bet.
forlOrn Individual, with a 'tele-
scope grip in one hand and an empty
pocket book in the other, enlightened
the detectives at the union station the
other day concerning the latest wrinkle
In confidence games, according to the
Kansas City Star The melancholy one
had just been relieved of $50 by a
couple of chance acquaintances on a
train.
This is how it happened" said the
traveller: Il was coming from Okla
homa, and after leaving Fort Scott sat
in the smoker with man who got on
at that station. We chatted a bit and
were watching a game of cribbage
among some travelling men across the
aisle when a man came through the car
with a pack of playing cards in his
hand. He stopped by the cribbage play
ers and asked them to buy the cards.
They refused, so he turned to our seat:
Gentlemen he said, I'd like to
sell these cards. They are of unusual
ly good quality, and I'll sell them for
the price Of an ordinary deck
LETS see,' said my seat mate, TAX
ing the pack. I don't see anything re-
markable about these. They look like
ordinary 25-cent cards to me-
"'All right replied the owner Of
the cards in an offended tone; if you
n;
quality of cards, there's no use in my
wasting time talking to you.
'He reached for the pack, and as it
was handed back to him one of the
cards fell to the floor, apparently I'M
noticed by the owner. My seat mate,
however, saw the card fall and said
banteringly:
""Those cards may be extra fine, but
I'll bet there is not full pack there
THE owner of the cards glared in
dignantly at my seat mate.
"'You say you will:' he exclaimed.
Now what will you bet on that?'
My companion had already covered
the card on the floor with his foot.
"'Oh, I'll call anything you've got,
he laughed.
without more ado the card sales
man lugged out bundle Of bills and
announced that he didn't like to take
candy from infants, but that he would
bet a hundred, even money, that the
pasteboards in his hand composed a
full deck of fifty-two cards, not count
ing the joker. This, Of course, looked
like Christmas expenses to us, who
knew that one card Of the pack lay on
the floor.
"'I'll let you in on half Of the bet,
said my seat mate generously, and of
course, I jumped at the chance.
THE money was posted, the cards
were counted and the deck found to
be complete. My seat mate and the
card salesman left the train at the
next station. OF course, I see it all
now-that is, all but one thing:
"Why did it not occur to me that
there was something odd in a man
having 500 who had moment before
been trying to peddle two-bit pack Of
cardS?"

CHAPTER XZHI.

My hands were full with my burden,
and before [ could do anything I saw the
muzzle of his revolver pointed full-at
me? Oh, no! At the Signorina !
''If you move step I shoot b through
the heart, Martin" he said, in the quiet
est voice imaginable.
The Signorina looked up as she heard
his voice.
Put me down, Jack It's no use," she
said II knew how it would be-"
1 did not put her down, but 1 stood
there helpless, rooted to the ground.
What's the matter with herr" he said.
Fell and sprained her ankle" 1 re-
piled.
Come, Martin" said he, cts no go,
and you know it. A near thing; but
you've just lost"
LET me put her down, and We'll have a
fair fight"
He shook his head.
"All very we'll for young men," he said.
cat my age if a man holds trumps he

''How long have you been here"
"About two minutes. When [ didn' t
see YOU at the bank I thought something
was up, so I galloped on to her house.
No one there. SO I came on here. A
good shot, eh!'
In the bitterness of my heart could
hardly speak. But l was not going to
play either the cur or the fool, so l said !:
Your trick. sir, and therefore your
lead. l must do what you tell me. Take
the revolver if you like" and l nodded my
head to the pocket where it lay.
NO" he said, II trust you"
Il bar a rescue" said l.

srimly. The Colonel won't come.
Whose house is that?"
1t was my boatman's.

We knocked up the boatman, who thus
did not get his nights rest after all. His

Have you bed?" said the President.
Eyes" he stammered, recognizing his
interlocutor.
Then carry her up, Martin; and you,
send your wife to her"
I took her up, and laid her gently on
the bed The President followed me.
Then we went downstairs again into the
little parlor.
Let US have talk" he said.
The President sat down. was sur
prised at his leisurely, distracted air.
Apparently he had nothing in the world
to do but sit and keep me company.
IF your excellency," said l, instinc-
lively giving him his old title, has bust
ness elsewhere you can leave me safely.

II know that, 1 know that" he an
swered. "But I'd rather stay here;
