"Yes." said Dave. Then. as II was
apparent the stranger was inclined to
be friendly, he continued. whats the
idea?"
The stranger nudged him gently.
"Come out of the bunch" he said in
a low voice. When they had moved a
little apart he went on, I'm confiden-
tial tone: "He has a little trick with
three cards that brings him in the
easy coin. He's smooth as grease. but
the things simple Oh. it's awful
simple Now you watch him for a
minute" and they watched through
an opening in the crowd about the
table. The player held three cards
two red ones and black. He passed
them about rapidly over the table, oc-
casionally turning his hand sideways
so that the onlookers could see the
position of the cards. Then he sud
denly threw them face down on the
table, each card by itself.
'"The trick is TO locate the black
card" Dawes companion explained.
''It's easy enough if you keep your
eye on the card, but the trouble with
these rubes is they name the card and
then start to get out their money, and
while they're fumbling for 1t he
makes a change so quick they never
see it. There's just one way to beat
him. Get up close, but don't say
you're getting interested. Then when
you're dead sure Of card crack your
fist down on it. Glue yourself right
to 1t and get out your money with the
other hand. When he sees you do that
he'll try to bluff you, say you amt
in on it; but you just tell him that
don't go, this is an open game, and
he's got TO come through, and the
crowdll back you up. / stuck him
once-a whole hundred first crack
and then he barred the. Watch him."
Dave watched. Saw the black card
go down at one corner of the board;
saw a bystander fumbling for a five
dollar bill; saw the bill laid on the
card; saw 1t turned up-and 1t was
red.
That is smooth he said. "rd "a
sworn that was the black card"
$50 ii was-when you saw IT," his
companion explained. But you were
just like the sucker that played him.
You couldn't help glancing at the jay
getting out his money, and il was in
that instant the trick was done. He's
too quick for the eye, but that's how
he does it."
Dave became interested. He saw
two or three others lose fives and tens.
1t was plain his companions tip was
straight. There was just one way to
beat this game, but ii was simple
enough when you knew how. He
sided close to the table. making great
pretense of Indifference. but watching
the cards closely with his keen black
eyes. The dealer showed his hand,
made few quick passes, and the
black card flew out to the right. This
was Dawes chance. He pounced on
1t with his left hand, while his other
plunged into his pocket.
"Sixty dollars on this one" he cried,
and there was the triumphant note In
his voice of the man who knows he
has beaten the other at his own game.

WILSON MAY CONSIDER RISER
 NATIONS

WASHINGTON, July 2G.-Presiden; Wilson today promised to consider five proposed reservations to the peace treaty and the covenant of the League of Nations,. which Senator s. P. Spencer, Republican, of Mis- souri, presented to him
 The reservations proposed by Spen- cer provide for the reconsideration of the Shantung settlement at the earliest date, expressing regret for the settlement already made in which Japan was granted a protectorate for the former German concessions.
 The other proposed reservations have to do with the Monroe doctrine domestic questions, such as immigra tion, the right of Congress to declare war, and the right of America to withdraw from the League of Ma tions without conditions.
