Casino. y. p, says: Paying .w,
hand. A builds n four. Il puts an ace or
this four build and adds q trey from
the board. calling it eight.
" Is against the rules to Increase an,
players build with any cards from III,
table. SO BIS play is Irregular. 4
himself could not increase his w build
In thai manner. This must not be con.
fused with adding TO a build already
made. For instance, A could make
moro fours with any cards whether on
tho table or not.
G. l.. says There are upon the tabl.
two kings. a -four and n deuce. A nuts
an ace on these II calls II seven. 4
takes In n Of the kings with a king
leaving the other. A bets he must take
IN both kings. b objects. as that would
Civ A a sweep.
II b did not build tte two Kings he
Is not obliged to take In any of them
unless he likes. II b played n Of thu
kings and called It two kings then he
must take in the whole build and leave
\ the sweep.
Cr'bbage. A. @. says: Playing two
rand A starts with an ace. Il plays a 8,
A n 5. u n .. and A n 4. for which he
pegs seven holes. II disputes the run.
As long as tho cards are IN sequence
without duplicates II does not matter
In what order they fall. so A is correct
in pegging for a run Of Ave and arteen
two.
T.. Il p, says: In cutting for the
starter Ia the non-dcaler allowed 10 slide
of tho top card. 90 that the next one
shall be the starter?
No. because the laws require at least
four cards to be left In zach packet
after the cut. II is a common gamblers
trick TO stack the cards for a starter and
insist on the ono card cut.
Pinochla. II. N. says; A bets the
round trip Is worth only eco in three
and. Il rays II Is .iU. Which II right,
and why:
These eight cards contain Ave separate
n,elds. SO kings, 40 marriage. 20 and 20.
and 60 queens. collectively worth 220,
so that A Il right, II Is trying TO make
two inelds with one card, the fourth
queen. which IL against tho rules.
II. II. d. asks the meaning Of tho word
"brisque' when applied to tho tricks
taken In rinochle.
B%risques are cards that are worth ten
points. and are so called to distinguish
them from tho cards Of smaller value,
such as Jacks. queens and kinss.
q. NJ. says; Seven playing, b picks
up six cards. n at the same time c
ands he has only four. They agree TO
bunch the ten cards ana each to draw
hve face down. Is this allowed?
According to the laws Of tho game,
both hands are foul. but II the other
players agree to It. almost anything may
be allowed to make II pleasant for the
piayera

Strange to say. several correspondents
inslsted that this pussle could not be
solved under tho conditions given, yet
there are at least two ways Of doing II.
The proposition Is that six young men
and six girls arc arranged round Q put

numbers 1 to 9 and the men from Z to
~. Each player Is to putt toward the
centre. and any one getting down in two
puts Is to to the right or left,
passing two other players and standing
behind the third player. Only the men
succeeded In getting down In two puts.

changed. 30 that the same young man
finds the Same girl in either case. The
catch In the puzzle. which those who
failed TO solve II did not see. Is that the

The result was that none of tho girls

 Caleb Hunter, particularly in the last year or so, had seen many a strange and brilliant costume pass along that wilderness highway, but as he hung over the front gate he re- before drawn him from his deep chair in the shadow. For him none of them had ever approached in sonsationalism the quite unbelievable garb of the boy who came steadily on and on, who came steadily nearer and nearer.
 With little closer view of him the watching man understood the reason for the dense cloud of dust above the lone, pedestrian, for when the boy raised his feet with each stride the man sized hobnailed boots which in- cased them failed to lift in turn. 1n- deed, the toes did clear the ground, but the heels, slipping away from the lean ankles, dragged in the follow through. And the boys other gar ments, save for his flannel shirt and Tapping felt hat, were of a size in keeping with the boots.
 For a time Caleb had been af q loss to make out the object which the boy carried upon one shoulder, balanced above a blanket tight rolled and tied with string. Not until the grotesque little figure was within dozen paces of him did he recognize it, and then at the same moment that he caught a glimpse of an old and rusted revolver strapped to the boys narrow waist he realized what 1t was.
