who were wont to indulge In the same

Gates was living at great New York

president Of the steel corporation. also
had apartments at the hosiery. ~
Mr.. Schwab was quite fond OF cards
and invited few friends to his rooms
one night for friendly game, table ar-
rangements being "gentleman's agree

Mr.. Gates was . member OF the
party. The famous indoor pastine
progressed rapidly. Mr.. Schwab was
fortunate. Mr.. Gates was unlucky.

The two sat down to the table again.
Hands we're dealt them. Gates drew .
pair OF queens. while his fellow player
again proved the more fortunate and
found three trays in his hand. Gates
was beaten. But he was game. The
guests stood almost breathless to see
what his next move would be.
!. Without hesitation Gates. removed
all his outer clothing. laid 1t on the play
table and walked to his apartment in
his undertaking. There were but
few persons in the upper halls at that
hour Of the morning. and none save
the steel president and his other
guests witnessed the loser getting to
his bed chamber minus most Of his
