when the professional gambling evil

efforts were made to shut off the sharks.
but none of these efforts embodied the
idea of refusing transportation on the
boats to the swindlers. The companies
were afraid of that method. One of the
schemes to knock the operations of the
sharks on the Pacific liners was to In

siderable watchfulness on the part OF
steamship officers to get one of these new
corners down so pat al to be able to tab
and label him as a professional shark.
So it happened that that class of foolish
male voyagers who permit themselves to
be inveigled into card games with men

shark in the course Of the voyage. At
the beginning of that costly trip he met
in the smoking room a clever. engaging
sort of chap Of thirty-five or so, for
whom he conceived great liking. This
fellow pretended to be a writer. and said
that he was going out to Manchuria for
the purpose of doing some writing for a
magazine. Not only that, but he exhibited
some fine-reading credentials, which were
no doubt forged. This shark had not
made any previous trips on any boats of
the line. The dissolute young chap from
Butte and the pretended literary person
were at cards the day they met on the
Yokohama-bound steamer, and for half
the trip down to Honolulu the shark was
content to pose as heavy loser. which
