significant looks with the case-keeper and
faltered for an instant as he showed the
cards together. He was not sure that he had
shuffled them right, and an anxious look
came into his eyes as he realized that the
deal must go on. 1t was far from reassur-
ing to set out to cheat man so well known
for expert short-gun work as the Bar-2o
puncher and he wished he could be relieved.
There was no other dealer around at that
time of the day and he had to go through
with it. He did not dare to shuttle again
and chance losing the card beyond hope,
and for the reason that the player was
watching him like hawk.
A ten lay face up on the deck and Hop
along, tallying against it on his sheet, began
to play small sums. Luck was variable and
remained so until the first twenty dollar bet,
when he reached out excitedly and raked in
his winnings, his coat sleeve at the same
time brushing the cue-card off the table.
But he had forgotten all about the tally
sheet in his eagerness to win and played
several more cards before he noticed it was
missing and sought for it Smothering a
curse he glanced at the case-keeper's tally
and went on with the play. He did not see
the look of relief that showed momentarily
on the faces of the dealer and his associates,
but he guessed it.
He had no use for cue-cards when he felt
like doing without them; he liked to see
them in use by the players because it showed
the game to be more or less straight, and it
also saved him from over-heating his men,
DRY. When he had brushed his tally sheet
off the table he knew what he was doing,
and he knew every card that had been
drawn out of the box. So far he had seen no
signs of cheating and he wished to give the
dealer chance. There should now remain
in the deal box three cards, deuce, five and
four, with Queen in sight as the last win
ner. He knew this to be true because he had
given all his attention to memorizing the
cards as they showed in the deal box, and
had made his bets small so he would not
have to bother about them. As he had lost
three times on four he now believed it was
due to win.
Taking all his money he placed it on the
four: Two hundred and seventy on tn four
to win, he remarked, crisply.
The dealer shifted almost inaudibly and
the case-keeper prepared to cover him on
the cue-rack under cover of the excitement
of the turn. If the four lay under the
Queen, Cassidy lost; if not he either won or
was in hook. The dealer was unusually
grave as he grasped the deal box to make
the turn and as the Queen slid off a five
spot showed.
The dealers hand trembled as he slid the
five off, showing a four, and winner for
Hopalong. He went white-he had bum
gled the shuttle in his indecision and now he
didn't know what might develop. And in
his agitation he exposed the hook card be-
fore he realized what he was doing, and
showed another five. He had made the mis-
take of showing the "odd."
Hopalong, ready for trouble, was more
prepared than the others and he was well

under way before they started. His left
hand swung hard against the case-keeper's
jaw, his Colt roared at the drawing bar
tender, crumpling the trouble-hunter into
heap On the floor. He had done this as he
sprang to his feet and his left hand drop
ping swiftly to the heavy table, threw it
over onto the lookout and the dealer at the
instant their hands found their guns.
Caught off their balance they went down
under it and before they could move sufh-
GENTLY to do any damage, Hopalong vaulted
the table and kicked their guns out of their
hands. When they realized just what had
happened a still-smoking Colt covered
them. Many of Hopalong's most successful
and spectacular plays had been less carefully
thought out beforehand than this one and
he laughed sneeringly as he looked at the
men who had tried to clean him out the sec
ond time.
"Get upl" he snarled.
They crawled out of their trap and sui
lenly obeyed his hand, backing against the
wall. The case-keeper was still unconscious
and Hopalong, disarming him, dragged him
to the wall with the Others.
"I wondered where that deuce had
crawled to" Mr.. Cassidy remarked, grimly,
IAN was goin' to see, only it's plain now

Any man as can't deal 'single-odd' ought to
quit tn business, or play straight. So you
had five fves agin me, chr Instead of
keepin' tn five under tn Queen, you bun
gled tn deuce in its place. When you went
to pull off tn Queen an five like they was
one card, you had tn deuce under her. You

affixed to show me. An / was waitin', all
ready for tn play that'd make me lose.

hundred an ten that I'd won if it wasn't
crooked. An don't forget that two seventy
just pulled down, neither. Make it in
double eagles an don't be slow bout it.
Money or lead-with you calm tn turn"
It was not very large amount and it took
only moment to count it out. The eleven
double eagles representing the mornings
play seemed to slide from the dealers hand
with reluctance-but man lives only once,
and they slid without stopping.
The winner, taking the money, picked up
the last money he had bet and, distributing
it over his person to equalize the weight,
gathered up the guns from the floor. Back
ing towards the door he noticed that the
bartender moved and keen glance at that
unfortunate assured him that he would live.
When he reached the door he stopped
moment to ask a question, the tenseness Of
his expression relaxing into broad, apollo
getic grin. "Would you mind tellin' me
where can find some more frame-ups9 I
shore can use tn money"
The mumbled replies mentioned locality
not to be found on any map of the surface
of the globe, and grinning still more broadly,
Mr.. Cassidy side-stepped and disappeared
to find his horse and go on his way rejoicing.

which worried him little. He always liked
to have possible danger where he could keep
an eye on it. Perhaps they were eating or
drinking-the thought stirred him again to
anger: two dollars would not feed him very
long, nor quench his thirst.
Pick it out, stranger invited the pro-
prietor, idly shifting the shells. "It's easy
if yo're right smart. One little pea, three
little shells-see how it's done?" and the
shells moved swiftly but elumsily. Now,
where would yon say it is?"
The puncher gripped his two dollars
firmly and seowled; he knew where it was.
Do look like a child? Is it necessary to
coax like a fool to make me eager to show
how really and truly smart l ann You

The man who knew Mr.. Cassidy silently
faded, but did not stick around, thereby
proving that the player knew human ma
ture and also how to get rid of pest.

glanced keenly at the owner Of it, exchanged

IE7II ETIs man finds he has two
NJ III dollars left out of more
Ia@- than two months pay
and that it has taken
him less than thirty minutes to get down
to that mark, he cannot be censured
much if he rails at that Will-o' -the-wisp,
the Goddess of Luck. Put him a good
ten days ride from home, acquaintance
and money, and perhaps he will be justified
in adding heat in plenty to his denuncia-
ton. He had played to win when he should
have coppered, coppered when he should
have played to win, he had backed both
ends against the middle and played the
high card as well-but only when his bets
were small did the turn show him what he
wanted to see. Perhaps the case-keeper had
hoodooed him, for he never did have any
luck at cards when tow-headed man had
finger in the game.
Funing impotently at his helplessness, a
man crossed the main street IN Colby, limp
ing almost imperceptibly, constrained and a
new, sdueaking boots that were clumsy with
stiffness. The only things on him that he
could regard as old and tried friends were
the battered sombrero and the heavy, wal
nut handled Colts As, which rubbed COM
fortably with each movement of his thigh.
The weapon, to be sure, had a ready cash
value-but he could not afford to part with
it. The horse belonged to his ranch, and the
saddle must not be sold; to part with it
would be to lose his mark of caste and be-
come walking man, which all good punch
ers despised.

He almost stumbled over little tray of a
Ehree-legged table on the corner of the
street and his face went hard as he saw the
layout. Three halves of English walnut
shells lay on the faded and soiled green cloth
and blackened, shriveled pea was still
3rolling from the shaking he had given the
table. He stopped and regardedit gravely,

The puncher's anger was aroused to a

cold, calculating look came into his eyes.
He glanced around swiftly, trying to locate
the cappers, but they were not to be seen.

smiling as he waited for the joke 1t

The puncher hesitated, grin Pickering
around his lips, and calm joy warmed him
comfortably. He knew that face, the pecu-
liar, crescent-shaped scar over one brow,
and the big, blue eyes. The past, sorted
thoroughly by his memory, showed out that
face before a crowd of others. Ten years

New Epoch in Growth of Gloucester City
When New Prosecutor Ends Gambling
and Sunday Sellna.

Prosecutor Boyle's action in en-
forcing the laws against gambling and
Sunday liquor selling, has led to n
new building boom in Gloucester
City.
For n long time Gloucester City
real estate had been Mt standstill,
because almost every saloon did
large Sunday business. and number
of gambling establishments were in
full blast daily.
1t was not easy to sell homes and n
large real estate operator threw up an
option on piece Of ground.
Prosecutor Boyle showed that he
meant to permanently stop Sunday
saloon business and gambling, and
sent word TO the mayor of Gloucester
10 TINT effect, together with the state
ment that that official would be made
a party to any further action by the
prosecutors Office If there were any
more Sunday selling or gambling.
Since then there has probably not
been stricter observance of the law
in any city. The real estate men re.
port demand for houses and rise
in real estate values.
This boost in values aroused citizens
to the possibilities OF further restric-
tions, not Of criminal nature, and
now city council has ordered that
there shall be no music in saloons or
sidcroom bars.

The marked public interest that is
being conferred in the Coryell's Ferry
Chautauqua to be held on the lot
north Of the grounds of the New Hope
Tennis Club, on North Main street,
New Hope, beginning Aug. 26, is
quite warranted. This will be most
notable week in the local history of
this community. There will be twelve
sessions. one every afternoon and ey-
ening in the mammoth tent which
seats 2, 900 persons. Each session will
present two or three events. To the

very high class. No one can afford to
miss single session. Many Lam
bertville people are going to and fro
by boat from the foot of Coryell
