HAp NOTHING ON sHEEpY.

There never is time when one can't
hear a good story along certain up
town streets in which Pat sheedy, gam
bier, art connoisseur and adventurer,
figures. Sheedy was game down to
his boot hells, and, while as quiet as
the best parior on Sunday night, never
permitted himself to be worried by
any bad men. When he wanted amuse-

search out some sure-thing gambler
or card shark and pose as the victim
OF the piay-just long enough to get
the other mans money. On one oc-
easiOn he was in a tough joint IN az
eastern city, where, as it happened, no
one was present who knew him. A
dealer spied Mr.. Sheedy, and, for some
odd reason, fixed on him as q mark
III bet you that I can shuttle the
deck and cut the ace Of hearts the first

agreed to this A pair Of honest couu-
trymen who had been standing near
at hand also bet a little, stringing
their money with Sheedy. The dealer

proposition is that 1 shall cut the ace
Of hearts the first time"
Every one was agreed to that. Then
