n lie, but he is old enough to be excused for
lying about his age. lie speaks of the good

satisfaction b:.-; part in several exciting mur
ders, for which it does not seem to occur to
him ho ought to have been hung. But the
ndvi-nture he is fondest of relating is how he
obtained his wife. He may, perhaps, be
I ebeved when he states that the mother of

amusing himself were truly stated. She ab

Very simply. She was taking a siesta one
day and I stole up behind hi r and dropped a

at'all."
"I should say not. Siie was too kite to ob

I had an extraordinary rxporirnoe a few
days r.go with ono of tho must noted nnd suo-ecs-ful
gamblers in Ameii- a. Wo occupied
ndj lining i hairs routing from 1 'hiladeijihia,
and Mr talked al-out gambling in .".ew Voik
on t ho way.
"I have In ard u good many stn i'-s," I said,
"of high placing up town within the past two
we. ks. l- it really so.'"
'! hie been in New Yolk twenty-five
years," said the gambler quietly, "and 1 have j
never known them to mil as high as tin y are !
rolling now. There is a combination of four
J. ws who are playing furo i.i a fashion that j
would make tho old M i- i sippi gamblers hold
theii" breath. Kv ry bet l.t four figures, uml
ti.ey have crippled U 's bank to thetuno
of st; 1,000 in threo nights. It is a curious
thihg, by tho way, that nearly ail Hebrews
will bet iecklis-ly on cards, though they are
fo cautious in hu incss matters. They are in
'omo respects the best gamblers 1 ever played
against. If a Jew sees a chance of getting
back u dollar by taking a rLk, he will take
the risk every tiiii';."
"Are most games straight now in New
York"
'I don't know a crooked game in tho whole
cif;. The fact is that gamblers have learned
at last that it is just as easy to run straight us
crooked. The percentage- in favor of the
house- is enough to mako any man rich if be
sticks to the game. It is exactly like any
other business!. A merchant who is straight
will succeed, and a merchant w ho is crooked
will fail in tho long run. There are a lot of
flash mushroom establishment.-; along Broad
way which show up in great shap; for a year
or two and then go under. They can't last if
they aro crooked. Tho straight houses como
out ahead."
I mentioned the name a few moments later
of a well known actor, w ho has a predilection
for high play, und the gambler t-uid, with a
chuckle:
'That particular actor made $l.oi 15 in the
course of an hour a few nights ugo."
"How?"
"A friend of his, a gambler in very hard
lurk, went to the actor and said he had a j
friend from out of town who was anxious to j
play against the bank, and he suggested that I
the actor and the other should go in and
fleece him nt faro. They went to a skin gam- !
b'.cr on Sl.'.'.h avetiue and got him to opn a j
faro hank .e 'a stacked cards, and about 11
o cii .(-, at, !:::.". mo a"ior ami ine co-.miry-
mati came in together. They had agreed to '
j.ooi their t.---ues, ami Tlio aeior put Uivl,Mi.i
;ain."t a similar amount by the countryman.
They then took their f::tain and tho actor
agreed to do the playing. Within half an
hour tho money wim ail gone, the lights wire
turned out, and the countryman was stmt on
his way. Then the gambler went up to the
nct"r to get his half of tho money, but he got
nothing. The actor took the . 1 .( i '.", gave the
dealer if"?.j'J for his trouble, and left town the
following day S?o) ahead. The busted sport
w ho engineered the whole thing has got his
revenge try telling overynouy auoui it."
If I were to give the name of the actor who
indulged in this transaction it would cause an
immense amount of astonishment, as his
newspaper interviews are invariably full of
bitter an 1 heartfelt woe at lh- prevalence of
gambling in America.
It occurred to me a little later that it was a
good opportunity to introduce a, man who had
a system for beating games of chance to the
gambler. I told him about my frknil. and he
said that no system was ever invented that
could play successfully against luck.
"Well," said I, "the man whom I have in
view has been sending ine letters and tele
grams about his particular di-covery, and I
would like to have you look at it."
"I will examine it with great pleasure,'"
said the gambler, heartily, "if you will botk
come around to my hotel this afternoon, but
I toll you beforehand that you will go away
convinced that no system can play against a
game in which chance figures as an important
factor. 1 have been in this Lu-iuess a great
many 3oa:-s. and I have made and lo-t many
fortunes, so that I f pe.-.k by the card."
At 5 o'clock that afternoon I telegraphed a
man that hail a new system (he is a colonel of
militia), and we went together to the hotel.
"We were met by the sallow faced man of
.lianee, and he wandered up to his room
ahead of us. Ho opened a little leather
sachel, took out a faro box, put it on the ta
ble, aud then brought out a number of cards
with the seals still unbroken. I ought tostato
that the colonel's system had lx-en tested
with extraordinary success by all the devices
that wo could call to mind, and that ho had
continually ami persistently come cut ahead.
The gambler ran his slim fingers over the
faro box nnd said:
Do you think Hernn.m, Goldberg or Keller
knew anything about cards? Because-if you
do I will prove to you that they are shoe
makers." He then asked me to select a package of
cards anil shuClo them. I did so. "Now," he
said, "name any card you please and you will
find it between my leg aud the chair."
"Any one of the fifty-two cards.'"
"An3 one."
"The eight of .panes."
He shufik'd thu pack tw ice and then asked
me to look on the chair. I did so and took
the eight of spa tes from beneath his leg. He
had found it and abstracted it from the pack
while shufllmg them and placed it there with
out our being able to detect him. He then
amused and astonished us by forcing four
kings or four aces to come to the top of the
pack whenever ho warded them, although we
ehufaod the cards, and later he did what 1 con
sider the most extraordinary trick that can be
performed in this world, lie would take
a fresh pack of cards and deal them rapidly
in the regular way, except that he would
deal us three hand; precisely as we called
for tnesn. To do this he was obliged to
read the hacks cf the ran'.- and extract them
from di:Tt?rent places in the pack with such
marvelous quickness that the eye could not
follow him. After he bad thus proved that
no man could play with a professional gam
bler who had any desiro to be crooked, ho
took his faro lay out and began to knock tho
coionel's system to splinters. Before he had
o ."i-r. ted live minutes the colonel slammed
his fist ou the table and said emphatically:
"I have seen enough to make me decide
ri-rht h. re that I " i:l never play another
game of faro as long as I live."
The gambler could at will by touching cer
tain springs in his box force all low cards or
h'"h cards to come up in turn, and, in facr,
had as much command over the box as though
that little silver device was human. Every
car l he cabed for came at his will, and men
betting agai:i-t him v.i-r; entirely and utterly
at ins mercy. And yet the whole thing was
so thoroughly innocent looking that it defie.t
