TALLY those OF a white man. He looked
older than thirty, and yet. smooth
shaver and without wrinkles. he was
almost boyish. The impression of age
was based on no tangible evidence. 1t
came from the abstracter facts Of the
man, from what he had endured and
survived, which was far beyond that
of ordinary men. He had lived naked
and tensely, and something Of all this
smoldered in his eyes, vibrated in his
voice and seemed forever a whisper
on his lips.
1t was two in the morning when the
dancers. bent on getting something to
eat. adjourned the dancing for half an
hour. And 1t was at this moment that
Jack Kearns suggested poker. Jack
Kearns was big, bluff-featured man,
who, along with BEETLES, had made
the disastrous attempt to found post

Kearns had fallen back on his posts at

LAWS INJUSTICE MADE PLAIN
Farmers Grievance Was That Story
Once Accepted Should Not
Remain Good.

A story Is being told at the expense
OF an old English farmer who was
recently called upon to explain why
he had failed to take out license for
a favorite fox terrier dog. 'E's mob
but puppy" the defendant remarked,
In response to a question as to the
animals age. Yes, yes! SO you say.
But how old is he?" "Oh. weel,
couldn' tell to a Bit" was the reply.
Il never was much good at remember
ing dates. but 'e's nobbut a puppy"
Or the other hand, 1t was maintained
that the animal in question was a
very, very old5fashioned puppy, and
the magistrate inflicted the usual fine.
Shortly afterward the farmer was met
by friend who wanted to know how
he had Jared at the police court
'Nobbut middlin," was the reply

a Golf Story

There's another story of man who
rang the bell at the gates OF Paradise
and asked Peter If he might go
through.
What were you on earth?" asked
the saint.
Well" was the response, during
the latter part of my life l didn't do
much but play golf.'
Got a golf ball on your"
Yes; here's Chancellor
st. Peter took it and threw 1t over
his shoulder, where it rolled away.
For a minute or more he looked
critically at the applicant, then shut
the gate in his face and locked 1t.

You are no real golfer" said st.
Peter. You don't even know the
first rule of golf-to keep your eye on
the ball and follow through"

in to the Tivoli and remained. When
Burning Daylight went on the tear, no
man cared to miss it. The dancing
floor was full. The luck at the table
varied monotonously, no big hands be-
ing out. AS a result, high play went
on with small hands, though no play
lasted long. But at three in the morn

rived. 1t was the moment of moments
that men wait weeks for in poker

Tivoli. The onlookers became quiet.
The men farther away ceased talking
and moved over to the table. The
players deserted the other games, and
the dancing floor was forsaken, so that
