one, that is, for there's luck in odd numbers. Who is going to make the lucky. twenty-ffth? ! lay a gold eagle on his half card and ask once more. who is the lucky man that buys this last little red box with it's mysterious contents?"
 A pimply youth in a lavender tie and imitation Panama and a swagger ten dollar suit pushed forward eager. ly. extending half dollar.
 Hold on, young man, it takes a dollar to buy this box remarked the captain of finance. The youth pro duced two additional quarters with nervous haste. lest the golden opPor- tunfty should be snatched from his grasp. 'I don't know as I'm obliged to take small change" said the pro moter eyeing him severely. What dc you mean by showing these gents in that disgraceful way? Wnered you learn such manners? Ton don't seem to have no refinery"
 "I j-jdst wanted to bny a box. gasped the disconcCrted youth.
 You do. do you! Well, just keep your shirt on. Before selling you any thing I'm going 10 learn you little culcher right here and now Say Please?
 "PIease-sell-me-a-box continued the instructor in acknowledgement.
 "P-pleasc. sir, sell me box, please!" implored the youth. his eyes on the gold piece.
 Well. gents. you all heard him say please, and so 10. oblige him I'm going 10 sell him Q box. Here's your card, kIddo; mind you don't let no- body swipe it of you"
 Now all you twenty-five wise ones are requested to double your stakes. Of course you don't have to; there's no obligation; anybody that's got cold feet can take his purchase and toddle home to bed. That's the best place for quitters. but l have a feeling that the twenty-five hot sports in this crowd are going to stay by the game"
 About twenty responded with the coin: three or four slunk away; one fussy little man with sideburns and an armfuI of bundles demanded his box slle .got h. To his speeches. indigna- 1iOn he got nothing else but the con tents . ts;hericsI piece of glass somc- thing like asstopfer. of a perfume bot tie.

 -I do hate to handle this dirty sil veri" sighed the promoter of clean { sport, whereupon he deliberately washed his hands from a bottle Ci wine on the table and afterwards re freshed his throat therefrom. Filthy lncre.. fllthy lucre, Why. you know it's just full of germs and parasites, he protested, as he carelessly swepi a few glittering piles into the table drawer. T risk my life every tipe take it of of you. Up with your hands, you guys with the cardsi" he suddenly commanded.
 "Whew! put 'em down quick Nc wonder the coin is SO dirty, It's worse than John D.'s tainted money. Whats the matter. ain't they no waiter ir your town2
 The non-inyestors guffawed heartily at this sally, and the proud sports looked sheepish and uneasy, but nc protest was raised as a couple more handfuls of silver slipped into the drawer.
