n Asst week this page told of the little chorus girl
i who was a member of the company 1.-The Crystal
A~ Slipper in which, although it only my second
engagement as actress, a star. My readers
will remember spoke of the splendid qualities of the
Of the West, and how always would remember them,
especially because of what group of Western
typical of the Rockies did for this little girl
This chorus girl, who was beloved by everyone be-
cause of her whoesomeness and cheerful disposition
supporting an orphaned brother at school in the East
She had not been we'll all season. and it had become
imperative for her to 60 to hospital somewhere for
long battle against slow DEATH with good hope that if
she persevered and did worry she could win the fight
She was very proud and independent and would accept
help from no one
Our tour took us to San Francisco just time when
very much depressed by the plight of this brave
girl My abstraction noted by several rich men whom
met shortly after company reached the city, and as
the days of the engagement passed frankly told or
two of them just what troubling They had no
tccd the girl the stage and immensely interested
In those days loved to play poker These rich San
Frsncscans gathered my apartments at of the fash
ionsb San Francisco hotels every evening after the show
for soeable We played only for enjoyment with
small limit and very seldom in games did any
.ose more then ten dollars or SO.
One night just after had explained the predcament
Il the little girl to my Western friends larger party
than usual gathered for the nightly game after the per-
Torrance at the theatre over. The party included
three who have since become famous through
out the countryone became United States Senator and
another is a sugar king
One OF the men a wealthy Southern California ranch
er the one who had suggested pot for the chorus
girl suggested that send for the girl Perhaps, he
said "a little company will cheer her up.
The rich rancher daring gambler. He took
charge Of the game and il seemed he inter
ested in his cards as when he playing directly against
me. After few rounds he dared TO lift the penny

What I've got is anyway-'s too little You re

just seemed to go crazy then won time after time
My goodness what hands did hold that night after l
put the little girl money in Every time drew TO pair
/ got full house If went in on bob-tailed flush
filed If held three-card straight caught the other
two almost every time Once held four kings open
against three Jacks in mans hand and straight
flush pat from the ten down in the hand of the rich
rancher How the betting did fly then ! opened with
ten dollars The three Jacks man raised the ante TO fifty
dollars The rancher in with another raise of fifty
Every player but one stayed in The three jacks got
his fourth jack in the draw and then moved the roof
and let the limit GO to the sky
The little sick girl had won eight hundred dollars al
ready playing and she made put every cent of
it in this pot. She excited that when her
eight hundred dollars out in the betting she let
stake her to another five hundred and this went n too.
The pot sweled until there twenty-five thousand
and odd hundred dollars in it, Then the straight
flush man. the rich rancher who had cgged wager

afraid to start the showdown.
Come, Miss Yohe-shcw 'em up. Let's see what you
know about poker, the who had held the straight
flush bantered at me. With desperate jerk tipped
over my cards and spread out the four kings
"The pots yours" said the four jacks man he
threw down his hand Lets quit i"
When we bad counted the pot there almost 1000
in it. Somehow in the excitement we bad lost track Of
the proportion held by the sick girl who, with her own
money and what had put in in her name, had $4,000
represented She insisted upon receiving no than
her Just share but could not figure this out One Of
the men said, This friendly game-no pkers here
think Miss Yohe should divide evenly with the young
