edly gave way before the superior
strength of his adversary, his skill, abil-
ity and endurance made him a dangerous
antagonist to the man who had disrupted
his home. Before many minutes he had
Brasher fighting on the defensive. Soon
this defense began to weaken, and, bleed
ing from dozen wounds, Brasher was
driven out to the very brink of the bluff
Not a word was spoken. The stiffness
was unbroken save by the clash of steel
against steel and the rasping breath Of
the furious combatants.
Suddenly Brashiers knife broke within
an inch of the hilt and Hickman stab
bed him to the heart. The stricken ma n
gave a scream of agony as steel ate into
flesh, and, throwing up his hands, plunged
backward over the bank into the waters
below.
On the heels of his cry came the sharp
crack of pistol, and Hickman dropped
Imply to earth. a bullet in his brain.
The next instant the woman who had
fired the treacherous shot darted through
the ring of startled spectators and, before
hand could be lifted to stay her mad
course, cast herself over the bluff In the
wake of her slain lover.
Brashier was taken from the water
dead. The body of the woman who had
cost two brave men their lives and so
tragically expiated her own evil career
was never recovered.
Thus ended the tragic, romantic history
of Gamblers Row.
Today the crumbing old houses stand
dark and forbidding, for all the world
like a three-card flush Of spades. Soon

He was cut to the bone, but his own
knife went true and was buried to the
hilt in Milford's breast.
That was about all there was to it,
Milford kicked couple of times and went
hence. There was little ado about the
matter Milford having no friends to take
it up for him, and the game went on as
usual after he had been carried below
and the deck scrubbed.
Hickman always maintained that he
owed his life to Brashier; but In the end
the old saying that the person who saves
your life will eventually cause your
death was confirmed. All that, however,
came about q long while after Gamblers
Row was built.
The houses comprising Gamblers Row
were admirably constructed for facilitat-
ing the pursuits and insuring the safety
of both patrons and proprietors. In the
Railways and rooms of the lower floors
were spacious closets, the bottoms of
which were large trap doors leading
into cellars which, in turn, were con-
nected by doorways long since sealed, the
outlines of which, however, are still WISH
BILE on the surface of the masonry.
Thus, in the event of raid upon any or
all of the establishments, it was COM
paratively simple matter for the sur
prised gamesters to find swift and certain
concealment by means of these secret
compartments and passage ways.
Gamblers Row, according to Uncle
Jimmy" Shelton, one of the few old-time
fatboatmen now living in the Ohio val
ley, was once the scene of play proba-
bly, unprecedented In the history of the
great American game Shelton, whose
of the row are vivid and inter-
esting, was at that time captain of
f1atboat plying between Cincinnati and
New Orleans Upon returning from an
exceedingly profitable trip with several
thousand. dollars in his possession, he
repaired to the Brasher house, there to
participate in a decidedly phenomenal
poker game.

pairs at navy yard; the conditions
are such as to render cleanliness and
comfort impossible.
A ship goes to a navy yard spick
and span-everything clean and neat,
and the men happy and contented;
then a gang of workmen In dirty over
alls is rushed on board and trouble
begins at once. Things are pulled to
pieces here and there, dirt covers the
docks, men are hustled about and in
many cases driven from their usual
quarters, and discomfort takes charge.
The families and friends of the crew
come on board in great numbers only
to find themselves out OF place, and
this very soon brings complaint and
discomfort. If 1t be winter, and this
was the case with the Atlantic fleet,
the suffering Of the crew Is great, not
only from cold, but because the decks
cannot in many cases be scrubbed and
the dirt accumulates until the officers
and men are ashamed of their ships,
and we'll they may be. People some
times wonder at the number of deser-
ton in the navy. If they knew the
conditions as | know them and have
so many times seen them, I think the
wonder would be that there are not
more The old hands who have seen
service and know what discipline
means, have the happy faculty of max
ing the best of what they know will be
a short period of much discomfort and
dirt. But the new ones who come to
the ship for the first time naturally
assume that this is the normal condi-
ton of ship life, and many of them

wonder to me is that more of them do
