To perform this trick take the

hold the bow naturally in your

your right hand also, with the

pretend to give the violin a twist.
As you do this, roll the strings of

Chasing
the Ace
BY Edward Longstreth and
Leonard T. Holton.

BY Edward Longstreth and
Leonard L. Holton.
"HE game Of "Chasing the
Ace" Is one Of those pas
times played with tokens. It
is a grand game and full of ex-
element.
Any number of persons can
play this game, up to thirty. The
players secure, with arrange
ments as to value or ~forfeits,
four tokens each from the dealer,
who is jestingly called the
"banker."
The dealer then deals to all in
turn, including himself, one card
face down. The player to the
right of the dealer peeks at his
card and has the option of hold
ing it or Of passing it to the
player on his right in exchange
for the card Of that player. The
object is to hold a high card.
This is done in turn all around
the table, until it comes to the
dealer. But the dealer has no
option, and he must hold his
card or the one the player on his
left may give him in exchange.
Then all turn their cards up
on the table. The player with
the lowest card puts n token
in the center Of the table. The
ace is accounted the lowest card
of all. If two cards of the same
value are low, both put in tokens,
for there is no privilege in suites.
All suites are Of the same value.
The cards are then all taken
up into the deck and shuffled
and dealt out again as before
but with a new dealer who is to
the right of the last dealer. This
IS repeated until every one is out
Of tokens except one player, and
he takes all the tokens on the
table. Each player on losing all
his four tokens drops out of the
game.
