MAKING SURE THING OF II
Now That Money is Scarce, the New
/ York Gamblers Are Taking No
4 Chances.

I Real money Is becoming criminally
scarce with the gambling fraternity
here, says the New York Press The
stopping of racing cut off one source
of income, and the recent exposures
of the crooked games which are being
operated. broadly speaking, in every
New York gambling house have also
lessened the boob crop. A hundred
dollar bill, flashed near the corner Of
Broadway and 43rd street, would
probably cause a dangerous stampede.
The od-timers are resorting to every
possible means to get in the money.
81 got a sucker" said one of the
veterans to another the other day.
"He used to know me when | was
city clerk of Jiggs Crossings. and he
has plenty of confidence In me. I'll
get him into tbree-handed game,
work in a cold deck. and we'll take
his crop"
The other oid.timer objected that
both men lacked capital. I'VE got
our fronts but 1t will never do to
drop them said he. Without dia.
monds and good clothes a professional
gambler is in bad way. But the
proposer of the sucker harvest was
insistent. pa
This guy'll tumble for good
money" said he. Now, you'n' me
can get four or FIVE hundred dollars
on our ice. That's enough for work
ing capital. Well work along, and
when l get a good chance I'll send in
the cold hand. I'll deal you four
kings and give him four queens, and
he'll bet HIS head off"
Hes to have four queens, hey7'
said the other. "And me four kings
All right, I'll go you. But I'm going
to go through that deck FIRST and take

NOT OVERCOME BY SORROW
Young Man's Novel Test OF sweet.
hearts, Affection Satisfied Him
on One Point.

Alphonse Marion Of Paris, a
young man Of independent means.
has found a novel way Of testing his
flancee's affection, with the result
that the engagement is now broken
of.
He called on the girl, Mile. Suzanne
Roix. and after few minutes con-
versation, during which he affected
great mental depression. he asked her
for q drink Of water. As he took the
glass from her hand he produced a
tiny phial from his pocket, and, emp
tying the contents into the water,
drank It off before she could hinder
him. His face then contracted and he
sank a helpless mass on the floor. He
had only time to beg his sweetheart's
forgiveness before he expired. a. she
thought.
Unfortunately for Suzanne, Al
phonse was not even unconscious, and
he was able to watch the effect on her
Of his own death. Without the slight
eat show OF sorrow she fastened to
the telephone and rang up the police
station to say that suicide had been
committed in her apartments. and beg
ging that the body might be removed
as soon as possible.
This was too much for Alphonse
who promptly resurrected himself and
left the house. after telling his former
sweetheart what he thought OF her.

ding party arrived at the house an old
woman. professional fortune-teller,
presented herself and begged to be
admitted. AS the Russians are a
superstitious people, they encourage
these fortune-tellers. and the bride
groom. who was hilarious with vodka
and wine. was the first applicant to
have his fortune told.
The seer into the future produced a
pack Of cards, Jumbled them up to-
gether. then repacked them and told
the bridegroom to cut them four
times. and the bride three. That
done. the fortune-teller laid the cards

while Briazga appeared to be partic-

Peter Goiovnin. with q boastful air
and a drunken leer on his face,
brought forth leather wallet stuffed
full Of notes. With unsteady hand he
counted out Ave notes Of the value Of
1000 roubles each, and laid them on
the table. The fortuns-tsller took
them up. and turning TO the minister
OF finance. who was standing close
beside her. thrust the notes into his
hand. exclaiming:
You are an onlcer OF the state. sir.

At the request Golovnin produced

nervously, But believe that my

this about by her devilish art?"
At this remark all eyes were turned
to the spot where the old woman had
stood, but she had disappeared. In
the hubbub and confusion consequent
on the discovery that the notes were
forged she had managed to slip away

was prearranged that when Briaz.
"a was next engaged In the duty OF
conveying treasure from Moscow to
st. Petersburg an attempt should be
made to purloin some OF It. Finally
the opportunity came: Briazga knew
week beforehand that he would be
employed on the duty. and he also
knew what money would be removed.
Peter at once set to work to pre-.
pare two facsimile boxes, and to All
them with paper. the whole being the
exact weight Of the government boxes
when filled with millions worth OF
rouble notes. The government cord
and the forged seal were supplied by
Briazga. The train conveying the
treasure stopped for long time at
Vishni Vootchok. that being a buffet
station where passengers usually
dined or supped. On arriving at
Vishni Volotchok. the treasure escort
went four at time to tho buffet to
eat and drink. Briazga was Included
In the first four. When they had
finished they relieved the other four;

was lying In wait with the dummies.
