STRAIGHT FLUSH IN PAWN.
Collateral Loan Banker Advanced
=. Money on Strong Poker Hand.

"Many queer things have been Of.
.fered to ME as pledges for loans" said
the head man in Simpsons, and the
stories behind them would fill a book.
There was one man, for instance, who
put up SO gold piece for loan OF
IS. The coin was a keepsake and
he wouldn't part with it. But the
oldest loan I ever made was on a
poker hand, says the New York Press.
OF course, I took a chance, but tho
risk was good and the profit consider
ably above the usual rates of interest.
It happened not so long ago, either.
1T was late one afternoon when
three men came in: They were all
more or less excited and asked to see
me privately. The spokesman was q
city employee, member of Tim Sui
livan's Hesper club, and I knew him
slightly. He explained that he had
been sitting in a pretty stir game
I guess you know where it is-and
there came big Jackpot in which,
after q lot of play, the betting had mar
rowed down to him and prominent
politician. No, it wasn't Big Tim OF
Little Tim, either, but you're warm.
My visitor was all in. The game was
table stakes, but the politician offered
to waive the rules and wanted to bet
$500 on his hand. e /
my visitor, asked for and received
Is minutes time to raise the money.
In the presence of the other players
the remainder of the deck of cards had
been wrapped and sealed. Each play
err had then shown his hand to COM
mittee to guarantee against substitute
, ton or any crooked play, and the
search for the necessary $500 began:
my visitor had gone after one or
two friends, but they were not to be
found. AS last resort he came to
me. II I would advance the money on
the strength of the hand he would
pay any interest within reason. With
that he drew his five cards from his
inside pocket. He held straight
flush of hearts, king high. There was
only one other hand that could beat
it, and that was an ace high flush.
The first question asked was: Who
dealt the cards?' My visitor had. I
considered the proposition for half q
minute and decided to run the risk.
There WASN'T one chance in thou
sand that the other fellow had q
straight flush also, SO, putting $500 in
my pocket, I went around to the place
where the game was being played. I
found matters just as my visitor had
described. The politician waRted to
raise the bet then to $1,000, but de-
clined to go that far. The cards were
then shown. The politician held the
four aces. He was game, though, and
never, batted an 'eyelid as my man
gathered in the stakes. My $500 was
handed over to me with the rate Of
interest agreed upon"
"How much was it," asked lis
tener. a. .@"
THAT'S a professional secret" said
the pawnbroker, with a chuckle.
