Counting the exposed clubs and
those in her own hand. Mrs. Pima
placed Mr.. Work with just one more
She was clever enough to infer that
it must be the ace, or else Mr.. Work
would not have led out his diamonds
so boldly. She decided not to give
him back the lead by playing Gibbs.
Spade Offered Best Chance
OF the other two suits, spades
seemed to offer the best chance to
defeat Declarer's game. Her part
ner had advertised weakness in
hearts by discarding two small spots.
He still held four spades. She her
self held three to the A, K. and
Dummy had four. This left two for
the Declarer, which would fall Oh
her A, X. Her partner must hold at
least two higher than any OF
Dummy's.
Leads Four Of Diamonds
Mrs. Pimm therefore led her king
and ace of spades, catching Mr..
Works 10 and queen. Mr.. Lorick
played first his 6 and then the 3,
as a ''come-on" signal for his part
ner to continue the suit. She did
so, with her of spades. Mr.
Lorick took the trick with his jack,
and followed with his good 8 spot.
On these two tricks Mr. Work
discarded the 2 and 4 Of hearts.

the heart led Mr.. Work to think
the queen was in Mrs. Pimm's

from Dummy through her hand

Therefore Mr.. Work led the 8

chose the latter as a travelling COM
paniOn.
The second Isidore SandOval, faith
er Of Richard, was interpreter for
Blackfeet, Blood, North Piegans, Sar-
Gees, StOnies, and Red River half
breeds or Metis, at the time when the
treaty of 1877 was made by the Can
adian government with these tribes.
He also interpreted French. This
SandOval was the second of the name
to meet a violent death. He was
killed by drunken Indians.
Richard SandOval, son of IsidOre
II, was born at Fort Benton in 1866.
When quite young he was sent to st.
Ignatius in 1884, and remained there
until 1886. On his return to the re-
servatiOn, he was advised by Major
Catlin to go to Carlisle, which school
he entered in 1889, but on account of
i'll health was forced to leave school
in 1898.
While in Carlisle he was On tho
football team which won from
Princeton, and had many other in
teresting experiences. Since his re-
turn to the reservation he has ac-
cOmpanied a number of delegations
Of Indians to Washington, d. c., and
to other cities. If travel is as has
been claimed, one of the best means
of gaining knowledge, then Richard
Sandoval is well educated man. In
his visits to Washington, he has met
eight presidents, from BENJAMIN Har-
risOn to the present incumbent of the
office, and he has some amusing
stories to relate of what he has seen
and heard at the nations capital.
Once, during President Wilson's
administration, he was in Washing
ton while a Woman Suffrage par
ade was in progress. With him was
Mountain Chief, the head of the
Blackfeet nation. Some one, MOTTO
| ing the chief, pinned on him a suf-
frage badge. Shortly afterwards, the
Indian was granted an interview with
President Wilson, of ten minutes
duration, but which lasted an hour.
The first Mrs. Wilson was present
at the meeting. It chanced that Pres
ident Wilson noticed the badge worn
/ by Mountain Chief, and commented
on it, and perhaps asked the chief
| his opinion of woman suffrage. 1t
would seem from Mountain Chiefs
reply; as he said he thought it was
a good thing, for when President
Wilson ran again for office, he could
stay at home and Mrs. Wilson could
do the campaigning. Not bad repartee
from an unlettered Indian.

ial service held in 1913 at Fort

who survive anywhere even under
the most stringent rules of society.
In this condition of the community
during territorial days, gambling in
a strictly limited form was legalized
and the fraternity who made a liv-
ing through the vagaries of the God
dess of Chance were distinctly the
most striking and cOlOrful strata of
the very diverse population. Some
of them-a very few, hOweYer-lived
up to the popular conception, out
wardly at least, of this buzzard of
society, affecting loud apparel, a
fuTtiTey though sophisticated man
ner, a calm and superior attitude,
and attempting a nOnchalance in
playing high stakes which no doubt
was largely put on with effort. A
majority Of these were simply -four

tiOn, fully belonging to the ObscuT-
ity into which they have long since
passed.
Others there were Of an entirely
different stamp. Quiet, Unassuming,
gentlemanly in department and nat
urally, intelligent in conversation.
Among the latter more often were
the faro dealers, who, as a matter of
fact, should hardly be classed among
the gamblers at all, though their
work associated them closely with
the games. In reality, the faro deal
er was merely clerk, as one might

employed in the menial tasks about
the place.
AS I said before, am not trying
to build a defense of the mode Of
life of these men, which, after all,
was more the result Of chance than
deliberate choice, but, 50 far as my
knowledge goes, they have been here
tofore silent in the matter of public
excuses for themselves. And, know
ing that many at least, are worthy

sal condemnation they have received.
as individuals. / am Drawing censure
in attempting to picture them as 7
round them in a more or less init
mate association.
I found many of them men of
family with home associations of tho
best, with children in whom thew
took a pride and provided for with
liberality. They had no illusions as
to their profession and nearly all had
ambition and visions of getting into
more respectable associations, but
the way was difficult, for most OF
I
their capabilities would bring them
in other lines, and Withal there was
a certain fascination in the atmOs-
phere Of a licensed gambling house
that was hard to break away from,
| even if one was only an employe. I
do not know what has become oR
them all. Some I know have crossed
the Great Divide, others were forced
into other callings by a more sedate
community and its restrictive laws.
A Few drifted to countries lenient to
| their calling, and one who had ac-
cumulated some capital was a pros
porous rancher and cattleman, the
| last I heard of him.
The instinct to take a chance is in
herent in the human race develops
early and sticks like a burr through
life. 1t finds expression in a thOus-
and ways with the underlying prin-
ciple unchanging-the natural and
human desire for "easy money" ."
From the urchin with a pOcketful OF
marbles, the youthful "penny-at-a-

of golf where aged sports shoot for
a dollar and upwards a hOle-it's all
a gamble and ten thousand laws fail
to prohibit. No one has any intention
of Obeying the laws anyway, but ev-
eryOne wants them on the statute

(By r. H. BENIIs)

THAVE an idea that very little has
been written favorable to the
\ gambling profession as a class,
and on the whole it is very possible
they are deserving of little defense.
Those who have written in the past
of these gentry seem mostly to have
had their hammers out and have sue
ceeded in delivering some pretty
loud knocks. Still, I might add a
slight measure Of testimony on the
side of the defense, realizing fully
that am entering an almost virgin
field, for even the gamblers them
selves, are mostly inarticulate when
it comes to testifying in their own
favor. AS a matter of fact, the per-
sonalities of the sO-called gamblers
whose acquaintance have enjoyed,
are as diverse as the characters of
those in any other profession. Not all
Of them were the sinister menace to
society that many people and many
writer's would have us believe. Bret
Harte's "Jack Hamlin" was a some
what glOrified character in fiction,
whose counterpart in real life have
failed to find in a rather extensive
acquaintance with the fraternity OF
an early-day Montana. But, never
theless have met men of the gam
bling profession, or rather some
who were generally considered as
such, and have found a few who were
really worth cultivating.
We must remember that in terri
