anger by this unexpected denouement Il would
have you to know, sir, that you have been misin-
formed am no pokeriSt You have warrant
for bringing such an accusation against mel"
But this chip-this chip which you have in
your hand! Surely l you take it from your
pocket? Surely, too, you have just told me that
such things represent money lost and won in these
games? How then do you account for"
"Ah!' interrupted Rathbone, his wrath subsid-
ing as suddenly it had risen, and the ghost of
smile fitting across his face LET me make the
matter clear to you. l said that our local currency
was coined and put into circulation in the rumshops
This is the explanation: This chip is local coin
current 1t represents twenty-five cents-two
bits is the term here receive it part of my due
1t IS paid to me as CON- my protest 1t fiat
money. The rumshops have decreed that it is as
good over the bars and in the stores as it is
the gaming tables. Everybody accepts the gaming
chips money. Why l even have found chips
like this in the collection plate!'
Hapsworth shuddered. Who" he asked is
responsible for this remarkable state of affairs?"
You shall see for yourself" replied Rathbone.
The practice is no longer confined to the rum
shops. Yonder is the mint and the coiner is it's
proprietor He pointed the plaza to
store on its northern side, over the door of which
was a sign announcing that Boke Does was
Dealer in Most Anything You Want" Come
he added, Il have small purchase to make. and
1T shall serve to demonstrate to you the value of
this piece of bone"
They entered the store in silence, Rathbone in
the lead and Hapsworth hating near the doorway
to sniff suspiciously of the odors of Spices sheep
dip" tobacco, cheese in process of evolution rubber
ponchos rawhide boots, calico prints. and soft
soap,-an indescribable and almost overpowering
ensemble of fetid smells. A tow headed youth the
only other person IN the store, pryng up the
lid of a caddy of tobacco with Ratchet and was
frowning terrifcally.
Oh hello, parson!" said the boy, looking up
- Who you got in tow now?"
This. Shadrach. is Brother Hapsworth, your
minister, said Rathbone. q" Brother Hapsworth.

do you find YOURSELF,
Quite well, l thank you," the
minister replied.
= Don't mention it. l only asked
y to be polite" Shadrach said, grin
ming. "Whatn you have, parsonl"
he asked, turning to Rathbone.
Il came in to get handkerchief" said that man
Shadrach spread a square of coarse muslin
the counter and inquired, How'll that dor.
very nicely" said Rathbone, transferring the
handkerchief to his pocket, and laying the poker
chip before the boy.
Shadrach nonchalantly tipped the chip into a
idess cigar box containing number of the same
kind and of various colors. Then he turned his
attention again to Hapsworth. You're next" he
said "What'll it be?"
You may give some paper collars" he said
coldy
Two bits" said Shadrach, placing the box of
collars before him
Hapsworth laid down a silver dollar Shadrach
hefted the coin, then dropped it through slit in
the counter into drawer underneath. From the
idless cigar box he took three white chips and
stacked them up the collar box
Your change" he observed.
Hapsworth drew himself up to his full height and
said with dignity, Shadrach. these not legal
tender. Are you aware of that?"
Huh. Course they aint!" Shadrach shifted
III disgust YOU Sno ~ d1dn come all the way to
Devalu just to tell that did you parson? Course
they amt Man don't have to be minister to
know that them's poker chips
Il mean that l cannot possibly spend Them"
persisted the minister.
Guess you can get help in like that with
out having to hire it,, said Shadrach grinning
The sudden entrance at that moment of Boke
Does, tall, angular and bearded, undoubtedly
saved his clerk from lecture the subject of i'm
pudence. The usually benign countenance of Haps-
worth had become infamed He held the poker
chips the palm of his outstretched left hand and
had just raised his right in solemn objurgation when
Does crossed his line of vision
Here's the boss" observed Shadrach. Its
the minister" he said to Does.
Howdy sir. said Doles, raising the forefnger
of his right hand to the brim of his sombrero The
storekeeper once had been high private in fill
clustering army and he made it rule be strictly
military with strangers

There may be places worse than Devalu Rath-
bone remarked as he escorted Hapsworth across the
Plaza-"th there may be worse places but it has
been my misfortune to fall in with them"
A ripe field should be made to yield rich har-
vest," said Hapsworth.
1T is only right that you should be warned what
to expect" Rathbone said after momentary pause
Religion does not attract these people; it repels
them. And the church is neglected: while
dance will draw crowd and horse race will
empty every house in the village. Why in this
place. Brother Hapsworth, the rumshops are the
village debating societies Social customs are de-
creed and banned there The rumshop view of
right and wrong is the community view. Our opin-
ions are made there, and-what is even more sur
prising-our local currency is coined and put into
circulation there"
He thrust hand into his coat pocket withdrew
1t quickly, and held out between thumb and fore
finger small white disk of bone, on which was
stamped black star within black ring This,
sir, said Rathbone, almost kissing the words in
the vehemence of his utterance lis poker chp!'.
He looked confidently into his companions face
expecting to see pictured there reflex of his own
righteous wrath; but Hapsworth's features were
unruffled nor was there anything more than vague
curiosity in the tone in which he inquired
And what, pray tell me, is poker chip"
BY supreme effort Rathbone managed to re-
gain his composure, and then entered as exhaus-
lively might be into disquistion on the immor-
aties OF the game of draw poker and the nefarious
part played therein by the things variously called
chips and checks. And poker he observed, "is
game that everyone plays here, even the women
and half grown children
But. Brother Rathbone." expostulated Haps-
worth, it is gambling'
Nevertheless it is the popular pastime." declared
Rathbone. Everybody plays it."
But l shall not play it, sir" Hapsworth as
serted warmly And what is more am shocked
Mortified beyond measure to know that my prede-
cessor has been taking part in games so vicious SO
degrading!"
