CHAPTER III.


1t must have been nearly midnight
before finally decided to seek few
hours rest below, descending the short
ladder and walking forward along the
open deck for one last glance ahead.
Some time the next day we were to
be In st. Louis, and this expectation
served to brighten my thoughts. /
turned back along the deserted deck,
only pausing moment to glance care
lessly in through the front windows
of the main cabin. The forward pOr-
ton was wrapped in darkness, and I'M
occupied, but beyond, toward the rear
of the long saloon, considerable group
of men were gathered closely about a
small table, above which swinging
lamp burned brightly, the rays Of light
Illuminating the various faces. Gam
bling was no novelty on the great river
in those days, gambling for high
stakes, and surely no ordinary game,
involving a small sum, would ever
arouse the depth Of interest displayed
by these men. Some instinct told me
that the chief players would be Kirby
and Beaucaire, and with quickening
pulse l opened the cabin door and en-
tered.
No one noted my approach, or SO
much as glanced up, the attention of
the crowd riveted upon the players.
There were four holding cards-the
Judge, Kirby, Carver and McAfee but
I judged at glance that the latter
two were merely In the game as a pre-
tense, the betting having already gone
far beyond the limit of their resources.
Without thought as TO the cards
they held my eyes sought the faces

cludes every chattel slave legally be-
longing to me-" he said grimly.
'That is practically what did say"
''Then you can certainly have no
objection to putting it in the exact
words I choose calmly. II intend to
have what is coming to me If win,
and I know the law
Beaucaire angrily wrote in the re-
CURED extra line
"Now what?' he asked
LET McAfee there sign 1t as a wit
ness. and then toss it over into the
pile" He smiled, showing a line OF
white teeth beneath his mustache.
"Nice little pot, conference.-the Judge
must hold some cards to take chance
like that" the words uttered with
sneer. 'Fours, at least, or maybe he
has had the luck to pick straight
fiush."
Beaucaire's face REDEEMED, and his
eyes brew hard.
'"That's my business" he said terse-
ly. "Sign it, McAfee, and I'll call this
j
played poker before yon were born
There now, Kirby, I've covered your
bet"
perhaps you would prefer to raise
it?'
"You hell-hound-no! That is my
limit, and you know it. Don't crawl
now, or do any more bluffing Show
your hand-Pve called you"
Kirby sat absolutely motionless, his
cards lying face down upon the table,
the white fingers of one hand resting
lightly upon them, the other arm con-
cealed. He never once removed his
gaze from Beaucaires face, and his
expression did not change except for
the almost insulting sheer on his lips.
The silence was profound, the deeply
interested men leaning forward, even
holding their breath IN intense eager
ness. Each realized that a fortune
lay on the table; knew that the old
judge had madly staked his all on the
value of those five unseen cards
gripped in his fingers. Again, as
though to bolster up his shaken cour
age, he stared at the face of each, then
lifted his bloodshot eyes to the i'm
passive face opposite.
"Beaucaire drew two kayards,"
whispered an excited voice near me.
Hell. So did Kirby replied an.
other. They're both of 'em old
hands"

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear There is
only one way to cure catarrhal deafness.
and that is by a constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
infiamed you have a rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing. and when 1t is entirely
closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the
Inflammation can be reduced and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever. Many cases of
deafness are caused by catarrh.~ which is
faces. Halls Catarrh Medicine acts thru
the blood on the mucous surfaces of the
system.
