lIc does have swine luck when Ne takes 4
chance" remarked lommy Atkins, who was
quite pleased AT tho slze of The pot that his
friend had just rakcd ID
Cine ofthcni kind that falls in sewers and
finds diamond rings, | suppose said Fatty,
looking up at Atkins with sneer
Not exactly, reiored Atkins, picking up
courage enough TO sneer back One of the
kind that used to write Pixies Peak or bust
on their wagons in 40, is more Ike IT,
Twice alter Jimmy won that big pot, very
much the same sort Of play came up Jimmy
Burke seemed to get hands, by some queer
streak Of luck, that were totally unexpected by
the other players Chippy Heinz regarded
him with increasing animosity and Fatty kept
up running comment on the ability Of cards
10 beat their makers.
Presently when Jimmy was at least FIVE
hundred dollars ahead Of the game, there
came along a pot, in which Fatty dealt him
three aces, but when Jimmy came to skin his
cards for the draw he happened 70 notice that
he held also the king and queen Of hearts, and
just for the fun Of the thing, being 50 far
ahead Of the game, he drew 10 the ace
king-quecn Of hearts, instead Of 10 the three
aces.
There being two men in against him, both
Of whom made one-card draws after raising
the ante twenty-five dollars, Jimmy began to
think he had missed chance ii he was right
in his assumption that they were playing up
two pairs before the draw Three aces
would be very handy.
Jimmy did not look at the two cards the
dealer gave him, but BET dollar offhand
with a careless smile AT The same time be
saw Chppy Heinz nudge his right-hand
neighbor, FATTY, with his elbow. Whatever
this meant, il caused Fatty 10 withdraw his
intended raise and just see the dollar, leaving
the raising to the third man, who was age and
who promptly boosted il fifty
Before going further, Jimmy thought il
best to have a peep at his draw, and turning
over the edge Of one, be found il was the ten
of hearts The other was the jack Of that
sut
Assuming as careless an expression as he
could be remarked that he would have 70 see
that fifty, anyway, and raise it just fifty more
for luck Fatty now came in with a further
raise, which the aye again raised.
II always expect d bluff from one-card
draws, said Jimmy slowly, as he counted
of some bills. How would raise Of two
fifty harder strike you2"
Mouth bets don't 20 here interposec
Chippy Heinz !" Ii YOU want 70 make any
bluffs yourself young teller, after holding "
kickers put up your stuff That talks fol
ITSELF
Jimmy blushed slightly at the tone Of re
proof apologized, and remarked that as he
had not yetput up the two-lsly, he would puI
up five hundred instead which he promptly
did.
Fatty laid down his hand at once, but the
other man demanded with an air Of impa
tience, Let's stop al this talk and play cards
How much does it take to call 2"
Five hundred dollars 10 see my cards,
replied Jimmy promptly, looking him straight
in the eve and al the same time paryinl
Fatty's attempt to get peep at the card:
alluded 10
Loan me two hundred Chippy' ! said the
age, and on being accommodated he pui
enough in the pot to call, while Chippy Heins
leisurely gathered up the cards for the mex
deal, looking over al Jimmy Al the same timt
and remarking, As the age showed an ace-higl
flush; guess your three aces amt no gooc
this trip Young teller"
AIy tnsh il ace king high, was Jimmy
retort, Is he raked IN the pot, alter spreading
bis five cards on The table
The moment Fatty's eyes fell upon tbs
roval flush, he banged his fist on the table viii
an oath. while The man who had called th,
hand fingered the cards over carefully, as II !,
be sure that they were real Then he stoos
up, With the remark
That enough for me ior this evening
A sentiment in which the Others seemed t
agree. and which promptly broke up tn
game.
