that had been through the wash and hadn't
reached the starch tub. His coat-tais was still
drppin' water and when he walked it sounded
like some was moppin' up a marble floor.
Only fancy what they'll Think he kept sayin'

They'll take you for an anti-race -suicide club, ;,

We hadn't more'n struck the clubhouse porch,
and the steward had rushed out to drive us away,

she's sighted something good.

So we lined up in front to wait, the Incubators
never takin' their eyes off'n WoOdie, and him as
pink sportin' extra and sayin things under his
breath. Every time he took hitch sideways the
whole line dressed. All hands from the club turned
to the show, and the rockin chair shippers
made funny cracks at us.
Alloy the nursery" says guy. Where
you bound for?
Ask pepper says l. Hes got the tickets"
Woodie kept his face turned and his jaw shut, and
if he had any friends in the crowd | guess they
didn't spot him. I'll bet he want sorry when Sadie
shows up deck and for US to come on.

the French King Charles X. sat calmly playing
whist at Saint Cloud. He was told what had hap
pened but went with the game with as Indifferent
a men as though the loss of throne was an every
day occurrence
In the O'Connor riots, Lord Thanet being con-
fined in the Tower of London three friends were
admitted by special favor to play whist with him,
and remain till the lookup hour of eleven Just
the visitors fell to the floor in fit and one of the
others to call for help. "Stop" said the third
We shall be turned out if you make a noise. Let
our friend lie quiet until eleven we play dummy
without him. and he will be the worse, for can
read death in his face"
Mettermch, the great Austrian statesman, owed
to whist the sharpest grief of his life, ranking
repentance that he could not forget, even on his
death-bed. Following the advice of friend, he
had consented to make scientific study OF the
game, which he had up to that time ranked as
only fit for women and fools" As his skill
in the play increased, its fascination became
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1906-07-15

unbounded, and he resented the intrusion of
any public business Whatever upon a rubber
One evening while he engaged at the game
express arrived with dispatches from Galicia
He did not examine the papers, but placed them on
the mantelpiece, and went on playing through
the night and far into the small hours. When the
party broke up just before day dawn, he opened
the dispatches. What was his horror to discover
that upon his immediate reply had depended the
fate of two thousand innocent persons. Had not
Metternich loved whist with such absorbing
passion, the infamous Galcian massacre would
never have been recorded in history.
A single game of whist once cause of keen
regret to London banker, G. H. Drummond
companion of Beau Brummell in more than
gaming bout. At single sitting he permitted the
Beau to win from him twenty five thousand pounds.
When the other managers of the bank learned of
this, they viewed the incident with seriousness
that surprised the card-over. Yes, he could pay
the debt doubt for his private fortune was large;
but the public confidence in a bank of whose
chief officers gamester, could not be counted
upon So they forced him to resign from his con-
nection with the institution.

TT was said of Edmund Hoyle the famous writer on
whist, that he gave his days and his nights, for
forty years to the study of this game
Byrons oft-quoted line, however, Troy owes to
Homer what whist owes to Hoy1e,' does not do
full justice to this famous man. He was more than
a chroncler of the triumphs of the noble game
for he, more than other, made these possible
through science and prestige. He, more than any
other, is rightfully called the Father of Whist "
He lived to the age of ninety-seven years.
Many incidents record showing how greatly
equanimity of mind is favored by the playing of
whist For instance Lord Sligo wealthy Irish
peer, was once at his card when word
brought TO him that his magnificent residence was
on fire His lordship looked up moment and in
CURED of the messenger whether his presence could
materially assist the remen which the breathless
bearer of the news could only stammer in reply:
Perhaps not, me lud. Merely renarking that
he sorry if the company had been at all disturbed
by the message, his lordship calmly took up the
hand that had just been dealt to him and resumed
his play

munsts hung their trcolored banner the Tuleries

anything As we'll as | could size up the game
she was of the nearswells, with plenty of gilt
but not enough sense to it right Her feelin S
in good workin' order though, and she was
wllin to listen to any program that Sadie had on
hand
Bring the little dears right aboard" says She
and we'll have them home before dark. Why
Sir Hunter is it really your"
m not altogether sure, says Woodie, whether
it's or not" and he made dive to get below.
Well say, that yacht and half that Dixie
Girl The inside of her slicker'n any parlor car
you While they gettin up steam
and all the way down to the East River, Mrs Cubbs
had the hired hands luggin up everything eatable
they could find, from chicken salad to ice-cream and
all took hand passn it out to that Incubator
bunch.
They knew what grub was, yes, yes! There
wasn't any holdin' back for imitation cop to
give the signal. The way they did stow in good
things that they'd probably never dreamed about
before was enough to make wish he had John
DIS pile and Jake Riiss heart. l forgot all about
bein wet, and so did Woodie. To see him jugglin'
stacks of loaded plates you'd think he'd graduated
from ham-and factory. He seemed to like it, too,
and he was wearn what passes for a grin among
the English arstocracy. BY the time got to the
dock at East 34th-st. there more solid comfort
and stomach-ache in that cabin than it II hold again
in thousand years.
Sadie had me go ashore and telephone for two of
them big rubber-neck wagons. That gave time

Sadie squeezed in too, there wa MT inch of
for either of us left
And was it rainin'? Vow You'd thought four
Fights had been rung in and all the water-towers in
New York was turned loose on us And the thunder
kept rippn and roarin', and the chain -lightnin
streaked things up like the finish of one of Colonel
Paine's exhibits.
Sing to them" shouts Sadie. It's the only
way to keep them from being scared to death.
Sing"
DO you hear that Woode?" says I across the
top of their heads. Sing to EN-, you lobsteri"
The Captain standn just on the other side
of the bunch He'd got the front half of him under
cover, but there wasn't for the rest; SO it
didn't do him much good, for the roof caves
leakin down the back of his neck at the rate of a
gallon minute.
Only fu-fu-fawncyl" says he. q don't flu
feel like singing, y'know."
Make noise like you did, then" says I. Come
on, now!"
But really, cawn't says he. Il n-never sing,
y'know"
Say that gave me the backache See here,
Woodie," says l, ookin' wicked as l knew how,
You sing there'n be troubled Hit er up, nowl'
That fetched him. He opened his face like he'd
swallowed something bitter, made two false
starts, and strikes up God Save the King"
didn't know the words to that, so l makes a stab
at Everybody Works but Father and Sadie
tackles somethn else.
For trio that the limit. The kids hadn't

to get the sleepers woke up and arrange EN-
on the dock. Just as was gettin' the last
of the kids loaded in for their ride up to the
Home, a roundsman shows up with two cops.
Where do youkds belong?" he sings out.
With that there comes a howl, and the
whole bunch yells:
Hot pertater-cold termater-alligator-R
We're the girls from the Incubator Homel
Caught with the goods" says he, turnin'
to the Cap'n and me. You're arrested for
wholesale kidnappin There's a general
alarm out for youse.
All, back to the goats" says 1. You
don't think we look nutty enough to teal
a whole orphan asylum, do you, Rounds?"
Il wouldn't trust either of you alone with
brick block" says he. And your side
partner with the Salvation Army coat on
looks like yegg man to me.
Now will you be nice Cap?" says |.
At this Sadie and Mrs Cubbs tries to
butt in, but that roundsman had head
like a chopin block. He said the two
nurses had come to town and reported
that they'd been held up in the woods and
that all the kids had been swiped. AS
Woodie fitted one of the descriptions, we
had to 60 to the station, that was all
there was about it.
And say, if the Sarge hadn't happened to
have been one of my old hackers we'd have
put in the night with the drunk and dis
orderies. Course, when l tells me little
tale the Sarge gives me the ha-ha and
scratches our names off the book We
didn't lose any time either, in hittin' the
studio, where there was a hot bath and
dry towels
But paste this in your Panama: Next
time me and Woodie goes out to rescue
the fatherless, we takes along our rain
coats. We've shook hands on that. And it's
all off between him and Sadie. He's willin
to take oath that she put up the job on him.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1906-07-15

seemed to mind the thunder and lightnin
a whole lot, but when that three-cornered
symphony of ours is cut loose they begins
to look wild Some of EN- was diggin'
their fists into their eyes and preparin to
leak brine, when all of a sudden Woode
gets into his stride and lets go of three or
four notes that sounded as if they might
belong together.
That seemed to cheer those youngsters
up lot. One or two pipes up, kind of
scared and trembly, but hangin' onto the
tune, and the next thing we knew they was
all at it, givin' us My Country lis of
Thee" in as fine shape as you'd want to
hear. We quit then and listened They
followed up with couple of good old hymns,
and if | hadn't been afoat from my shoes
up | might have enjoyed the program. 1t
was good exhibition of nerve, too. Most
kids of that size would have gone up in the
air and howled blue murder But they
didn't even show white around the gills.
Inside of ten minutes it was all over.
The shower had moved off up into Connec-
tiCut, where maybe it was wanted worse,
and we got our heads together to map
out the next act Sadie had the say. She
was for ta1in' the kids over to the swell
yacht club there, and waitin until the
nurses or some one else came to take EN-
off our hands That suited me; but when
1t came to gettin' Captain Sir Hunter to
march up front and set the pace, he made
a strong kick.
oh by Jove, nowl" says he, 4
couldn't think of it. Why, I've been
guest here, yknow, and I might meet
some of the fellows"
What luck" says Sadie "That1l be
lovely if you do"
You come along, Woodie," says l.
We've got our orders"
He might have been a stiff-lookin
Englishman before, but he was limp
enough now. He looked like linen collar
