"Ami if I lmpion to bent, you won't

"1 won't what! Mrs. llowscr, you nro act

"Hodoos, ch I will botyou $10,000 to a

"Very woll horo It Ut Tho plnycm cut

"Oh, woll, If you aro going to stlcklo over

I got tho deal, nnd spade turned up trump.
Mr, llowwcr Mucd, and so It hnpcnod that I
took every trick.
"Cackling already, nro youf" ho oxclalmed
mi ho took tho dock. "Mrs. Bowser, I'll mako
you u very sick woman beforo wo play thrco

Ho turned up hearts, and as I had four of
them 1 ordered him up.
"You onler 1110 up, chl What kind of play
ing do you call that! I novor heard of such
a thing In nil my llfol"
"1 onler you liecnuso Iloylo say 'a player

tricks.' I lioM to tako 'em alL"
I got every ono, nnd Mr. llowscr shoved
back from tlio tablo and looked nt mo in
nmazoment. I dealt tho cards and turned up
a diamond. I had tho Joker and tho right
nml left, whllo ho happened to hold flvo
others. I saw him smllo sweetly, but as I
took thrco tricks and tnmlo my point, ho roso
up and whlscrodt
"1 don't wonder that somo ministers do

"Wlicrof"
"You stacked that hand I"
"Mr llowscrt"
"Of corn-Mi you dldl You deliberately

"Mr Bowser, you ought to bo ashamed of

"Bent mo to Chlcagol Why, I'll play you

"But I don't want to bo called a cheat and

"Sit right down and play. You think you

"1 pass."
"1 should say you would I Day to that
and that!"
Ho took tho tlrst two tricks, but I took tho
uoxt throo and euchred him.
"1 expected you to," ho said in explana
tion. "Indeed, I can givo you four polnta on
every gamo and then bent you."
Ho scored ono point ou tho noxt hand, and
I one on the next. I was then thrco to ono,
and having a strong hand I made a march
and went out.
"And do you call that playing cardsP ho
demanded as ho sprang up.
"Certainly, Mr. Bowser. You saw every
card ns it was played. I havo beaten you
two straight games."
"1 nover will bcllovo itt You nigged rao
out of them I"
"Well, try ono moro, and watch nnd soo if
I nig."
Ho shuffled, dealt and turned up hearts.
Luck was with ma I had tho joker and two
bowers, and I imssod.
"Oh, you dol Well, I should think you
would. It's a wonder you didn't order mo
up."
When ho found himself euchred ho turned
white and gasped 1
"How did you got thoso cards?"
"You gavo thom to mo, Mr. Bowser."
"Novcrl You took 'om off tho pack I"
I finally half satisfied him that I didn't,
and I dealt mid turned up spades. Ho passed
with four li bis hand, and I turned it down.
"I order you up I" ho shouted.
"But you can't; lvo turned itilown."
"Can't II You tako up that card! noyle

"Find mo the place,"
"You won't tako it up I"
"Of courso not. What do you mako Itf"
"1 mako it an occasion for saying that I'll
novcr play another gamo with you as long as
I livol I calculated to givo you a couplo of
gomes to encourago you, but I can't ponder
to no such depravity as this."
"What havo I donot"
"What has Catfish Jim nnd Bunko Dill
donol I wouldn't havo your conscience for

Ho returned to hl reading and I to my
owing, and nothing moro was said about It.
A nlgbtiir two afterwards, however, when a
number of us hud gathered nt n neighbor's to
play a few.gamcs, Mr, Bowser confidentially
