else they would take all your money away

Jimmy could not help smiling at the seri-
business of the warning buthe turned his head
away to hide the laugh
The following Sunday afternoon, Iimmy's
class at the Sunday school had substitute
teacher Nellie Daintry could hardly wait
until school was over to ask why Jimmy was
not there.
Jimmy took the train up to Cairo to meet

The simple fact was that the temptation
had been too strong for Jimmy The boys

They had not long 70 wait for an invitation

Instead oi sharing The shocrdrummer's bad
luck, or want Of negc once Jimmy Burke got
over the peculiar initial sensation oi being
hurried along Nv thc rapidly ol the play, he
seemed 10 settle down % business with as
much sell possession as ii he were in bis usual
place in The back room Of the litAe hotel in
Helena among his friends, playing iye-eent

Jimmy was pretty sharp and had good eyes
for what went on around him He met the
bloodless gaze Of the other players with look
that showed he was not afraid Of them Or their
cards, and at the same lime he did not fail to
catch the rapid exchange Of glances that
passed between the men at the table; the
momentary hesitation in the dealing Of a
card, or the slow stacking Of the chips alter
Jimmy had made bet
Having had no previous warning that the
game was so steep as a dollar ante and no
limit, Jimmy felt that his small capital would
soon disappear il he had any bad luck, but he
did not lal into the usual error Of the nom
professional and try 70 play close He stood
right up Il the cards they dealt him, and
played them far all they we're worth 50 that
no one 1t the table could tell whether he held
bobtail OF full
No matter how soon they might clean him
out, he could still say that he had sat in the
fatal game and played until he was broke.
Tommy Atkins was there as a witness to that,
But what he had longed and hoped for was
that he might be able TO do what no other man

had done 70 beat these fellows to win their
money and get away with it,

immense diamond stuck in bis shirt front
They dealt the cards with swiir IS which

seen professionals in their own habitat before.
The rapidity with which they would glance at

men that made up the cattle crowd,

belief Of the river men that no one

But it was Of no use. Jimmy had
