one card, the only possible question
in Mr.. Vance'S mind was whether
or not had made my straight flush.
If I had not made tor had
merely drawn a straight or flush
Mr.. Vance figured, and figured
rightly, that 1 would not have seen
his large bet and also have raised
it the limit.
ITO have done so, in those cir
cumstances, would have been ira
tional poker. Not one player in a
thousand would have taken such a
risk on a mere bluff.
Therefore. had Mr.. Vance not
laid down his four aces when l
raised him, he would have been
foolhardy in the extreme.
1T turned out. of course, that l
was actually bluffing; but that does
not alter the fact that the correct
and logical thing was for Mr.. Vance
to quit"
quite true" Vance agreed. LAS
Mr.. Spotswoode says, not one player
in a thousand would have wagered
the limit without having filled his
straight flush, knowing had pat
hand.
Indeed, one might almost say
that Mr.. Spotswoode by doing so,
has added another decimal point
to the psychological subtleties of the
game; for, as you see, he analysed
my reasoning, and carried his own
reasoning a step further"
SpotSwoode acknowledged the
compliment with a Slight bow; and

avail. I left instructions to place
guard over the mail in case the
plane was found before I returned
and went to Chicago for another
ship.
On arriving over Covell the next
morning I found the week with a
small crowd gathered around it, less
than 500 feet in back of the house
where I had left my parachute the
hight before.
The nose and the wheels had
struck the ground at the same time,
and after sliding along for about
seventy-five feet it had piled up in
pasture beside a hedge fence.
One wheel had come off and was
standing inflated against the wall
on the inside of a hog house hun
dred yards further on. 1t had gone
through two fences and the wall
of the house.
The wings were badly splintered
but the tubular fuselage, although
badly bent in places, had held its
general form even i'll the mail pit.
The parachute from the flare was
hanging on the tailSkid.
There we're three sacks Of mail
in the plane. One, a full bag from
ST. Louis, had been split open and
some of the mail oil-Soaked but
legible. The other two bags were
only partially full and were I'M
damaged.

saying that must have had either
a four-straight. four-fuSh, or a
four straight flush.
"I believe may state without i'm
modesty that am too good play
err to have stayed otherwise"
and I assure you, Markham"
interrupted Vance, that Mr.. Spots
woode is too good a player to have
stayed unless he had actually had
a fourt-Straight flush.
THAT is the only hand he would
have been justified in backing at
the betting odds of two to one.
"You see, I had opened for the
amount in the pot, and Mr.. Spots
woode had to put up half the
amount of the money on the table
in order to stay-making it a two
to-one bet.-Now, these odds are
not high, and any non-opening
hand smaller than a four-Straight-
flush would not have warranted the
risk.
LAS it was, he had, with a one
card draw, two chances in forty
seven of making straight-hush,
nine chances in forty-seven of max
ing a flush, and eight chances in
forty-seven of making straight;
SO that he had nineteen chances in
forty-Seven-or more than one
chance in three-of strengthening
his hand into either straight
flush, flush, or a straight"
Exactly" assented Spotswoode.
However, after 1 had drawn my

, business standpoint, I'd say you
quit too SOON"
SpotsWoode glanced up.
"You gentlemen wrong Mr..
Vance" he said. HE played his
hand perfectly.
"ais withdrawal. even with four
aces, was scientifically correct"
Sure it was" agreed Allen. ooh,
boy! What battle that was!"
Spotswoode nodded and, turning
to Vance, said:
"Since the exact situation is never
likely to occur again, the least I can
do, by way of showing my apprecia-
ton of your remarkable perception,
is to crafty your curiousity-I held
nothing"
Spotswoode put down his hand
and extended his fingers gracefully
toward the upturned cards.
There were revealed five, six,
seven and eight of clubs, and a
knave of hearts.
81 can't say that I follow your
reasoning. Mr.. Spotswoode. Mark
ham confessed. "Mr. Vance had you
beaten-and he quit"
Consider the situation Spots
woode replied, in a suave, even
voice. 81 most certainly would have
opened so rich a pot, had I been
able to, after Mr.. Cleaver and you
had passed.
But since I nevertheless stayed
after Mr.. Vance had opened for so
large an amount, it goes without

CHAPTER xLvII1

A BOUT half an hour later Vance
N again took out his handker-
chief and passed it across his fore
head.
AS before, noted that it was Al
lens deal, and also that the hand
was a Jackpot which had been
twice sweetened.
Allen paused to take drink of
his high-ball and to light his cigar.
Then, after Vance had cut the
cards, he dealt them.
Cleaver, Markham and Spots
woode passed, and again Vance
opened, for the full amount of the
pot.
No one stayed except Spotswoode;
and this time it was a struggle sole
ly between him and Vance.
Spotswoode asked for one card;
and Vance stood pat. Then there
followed a moment of almost
breathleSs silence.
The atmosphere seemed to me to
be electrically charged, and think
the others sensed it too, for they
were watching the play with a Curl
ouSIy strained lntentneSS.
Vance and Spotswoode, however,
appeared frozen in attitudes of
superlative calm. I watched them
closely, but neither revealed the
slightest indication Of any emotion.
1t was Vance's first bet. without
speaking he moved a stack of yell
low chips to the center of the table
it was by far the largest wager
that had been made during the
game.
But Immediately Spotswoode
measured another stack alongside
of it.
Then he coolly and deity counted
the remainder of his chips, and
pushed them all forward with the
palm of his hand, saying quitely:
1.-THE limit"
Vance shrugged almost impercep-
tibly.
THE pot, sir, is yours" He smiled
pleasantly at SpotSWoode, and put
down his hand face up, to establish
his openers. He had held four
aces!
Cad! That's poker!" exclaimed
Allen, chuckling.
"Poker?" echoed Markham. ITO
lay down four aces with all that
money at Stake?"
Cleaver also grunted his aston
ishment, and Mannix pursed his
lips diSguStedly.
II don't mean any offense, y I'M
derstand, Mr.. Vance," he said. But

THE STORY so FAR

Lindbergh completed his education at
the University Of Wisconsin and learned
chased and few two planes on several
transforming trips before entering
Brooks field as a cadet. He graduated
as a second lieutenant from Kelly field
and made several other transforming
trips while waiting for job in the air
mail service,
After being forced out Of the Pacific
to-Atlantic air race by bad plane
Lindbergh became an instructor for the
Robertson Aircraft Corporation at St.
Louis. He then made preparations for
the opening of the air mail routes in
the spring.
The first air mail was carried by
Lndbergh on May Is, 1926. Flying
conditions vera difficult because of the
lack of bacon lights and good landing
fields. Lindys first forced landing as an
air mail pilot came Sept. 16, 1926.
Lindbergh's fourth forced parachute
jump was much like the third. He cut
of the planes power and jumped over
the side of the cockpit landing on
barbedWire fence.

THE STORY THUS FAR

Skeeis finger prints we're found in the
apartment Of the strangled Margaret
Odeli, but Vance believes Skeel had been
hiding in a closet while the murderer
police is the door to the alley. 1t was
boited on the inside, seemingly. preclud-
ing the exit or entrance Of anyone
through IL. Msnnix, DR.. Lindquist, and
the night Of the murder. SpotSwOode,
who had called on the girl, had rushed
to her door at sound of a scream, but
that nothing was wrong. Later Skeel Is
found StrangIed, after promising to
reveal the murderer. Vance demon
lated the side door and asks Markham
to invite SpOtswoode, Cleayer and Man
nix to his apartment for a poker game,
promising TO reveal the murderer after
it is over. CIeaver wins an unusually
large stake from Vance, beating four
kings with a straight flush.

Farmers Demand
Fulfillment Of
Campaign Pledge

CHICAGO, Dee. 10.-Two million
American farmers, through their
representatives, demanded today
that the incoming Republican ad-
miniStration "makc good on its
campaign promises to agriculture.
The show down was called for at
the annual meeting of the American
Farm Bureau Federation, which was
attended by delegations from 80
farm states. The farmers agree that
the Hoover administration should be
given a chance, The delegates were
unanimous, however, in insisting
that something be done at once.
The keynote of that spirit was
sounded in the annual address of
Sam II, Thompson, president of the
federation
The way in which farm relief is
obtained is insignificant in compar-
ison with the importance of having
it done effectively, Thompson said.
Thompson recommended that the
organization hold in allegiance any
specific plan for farm relief and
meet Presidcnt-elect Hoover on an
open basis and consider on their
merits any proposals advanced by
the administration.
