It is without doubt . . . . . ' THAT GAME , OF EUCHRE. ,. We were great friends Ilugbes, Ma son, Buna and I, all of the same fra ternity. All are gone ' but myself. Hughes died three years, ago he was my especial partner and chum while Mason and Bunn died within a week of each other, both of typhoid fever, I dreamed last night that I wandered . tip Into the chapter hall for some rea-1 son or other and, having nothing else to do. sat down at the little table in tho anteroom., shuffled the cards idly for awhile and then commenced playing 'solitaire. It was rather late at night, but the one flickering gas Jet I had lighted showed me the well known de tails of the old hall as distinctly as In L reality. ;I had, become deeply absorbed in the game, as solitaire can absorb a rather solitary man,-when all at once I seem ed to be conscious of other presences at the table besides myself. : I -glanced up, and there opposite me, in the very seat where be had played partners with me a . hundred times or more, sat Hughes! I Was somewhat startled, but not especially surprised, and It seemed the most natural thing in the world, on looking to my right and left, to behold Mason and Bunn in their accustomed places..': Their faces were alm and ex pressionless, as they, always were at the card table splendid players, both of. them, always so quiet and self con tained that you could Judge nothing from their looks of how their luck was going." But Hughes, who was more like myself In temperament, smiled at me and said: iV-'C-"- "Well, old fellow, what's the game? "Euchre," I replied calmlyi and, gath ering up the cards, I shuffled and dealt them, turning up hearts as trumps. The others looked at their hands in silence, but I regarded mine with Jubi lant satisfaction, for every card was a heart, with tho left bower and ace at the top. All passed. "Give me your best, Tom, and I'll go It alone," exclaimed I in confident tones, but Hughes' face was anxious as he slid a card across the board to me, and be said in a low tone : ! "Be' careful, WilL Xou are playing against death !" V . , , But when I looked at the card and found it was the right bower my gleo quite overpowered the impression In tended by his warning. "Come on, then," I laughed. Tll show old skuII and crossbones a good game.". But my grim antagonists said never a word la reply. They sat there silently, ", holding their cards in that prim, methodical way I remembered so well as characteristic of them. Mason lead with a club, Bunn follow ed suit, and I smiled triumphantly as I trumped the trick "If that's the way his nibs of, tho white horse puts up his game," I 're marked sarcastically as I led with a low trump, "I'll engage to give him a few lessons." But my laughter soon changed as I saw the slip I had made, for Mason put on the nine and Bunn the queen of hearts. Then I braced up, and when Bunn lead with a diamond I raked in the trick with a flourish. Still Hughes was watching me anxiously from across the small table. "tfow," thought I, "I will draw that Joker, if either of those fellows have it, after which the game is mine." Accordingly, with well feigned diffl dencey I led with my left bower. But 1 i my acting was changed to reality when Bunn dropped upon it the right bower. My astonishment knew no bounds, for I. could have sworn that Hughes had given that very card to me. I was about to appeal to him, but on looking across the table I saw, to my surprise, that his place was vacant. n Stilly I thought, I have often made mistakes in sizing up my cards, and as the game is mine anyway I'll say noth ing about it, but play it out plucklly. , Bunn led with a spade the ace and somehow, as my eyes fell upon that ominous , sign, my heart came up into my mouth. I laid my ace of hearts up on, bis card, but bad I played my own heart It could not have been with more fear and trembling. , Then, breathless and without raising my eyes from the table 1 awaited Mason's last card. , Suddenly , a shout of fiendish laugh ter' frosse my blood, and the cold per spiration started from my every pore, for. as', the card covered mine I saw it was the. Joker a grinning death's bead I I had lost. 1 started from my seat, but my antagonists, changed in form and feature to grinning skeletons, held me back. 1 gasped and tried to shriek and then awokel I found myself sitting up In bed, wet with sweat and my heart beating vio lently, It is a trifle affected anyway.i and 1 don't care to have any more such dreams. Well, it's all nonsense being afraid of a dream, and if I have a whim 1 may as well gratify it as fidget' around and not sleep any tonight. So after supper I'll walk down to the hall and smoke a cigar there. fEtraet From the W Courir.l William Hooker died suddenly last night of heart disease. He was found sitting at a ard table and had evident ly Just finished a game of euchre. Three other chairs were at the table, but as no one was known to have been with him be had probably been playing the other bands as well as bis own. the Study of Life. Our lives are universally shortened by "our Ignorance.
