It did not require a eocond look to
nntisfy ono that the two porsonn who
were diHcnaalng the destruction of the

tholr morning ntimnlant , were gam
blow. The ono had juot finished the

the conllsfratlon ( in ono of the norrn
pnpcra to hla companion , when ho delivered
livered himaolf of the firnt remarks ; ho
lifted the glnso of nocktnil to his llpn.
There was that in the reply ot the
eocond gambler which recalled to the
mind of the writer ono of the inol-
donta of gamblinf * llfo in the carbonate -
ate metropolis which was character
istic of the early excitement and
prosperity , nnd which has never BOOH
thii typoa.
The speaker wna correct when ho
aald that the famono Texas house
never had but ono gambler among
either ita owners or corps of donlora
nnd "lookouts. " And everybody
acquainted with Loadvillo will admit
that it was a famous houto. From
whoXca Ita fame was derived it would
bo diflloult for ovou the patrons of the
resort to dotcrmino. There was a
something half rnmautio , half terrible
about the place that naturally attract
ed residents nnd vinitora nliko. Per
haps it wasthoHUggcativo name Texas ;
perhaps it was the fact that the pro-
priotora had the reputation of owning
the wealthiest ( jambliuc ; liouso at Galveston -
veston , nnd came to Lc&dvillo to win
the lloat money of the camp if they
were forced to play "no limit" gamco ;
or porhnrm it vta3 the impression that
the player , who built his hopes on
small stakes , could Mia inora there
once fortune favored him than oho-
where. At nil ovonta It was a famous
house , and the memory of it will long
outlive the loss to the vrinds of its yet
smouldering ashen.
Being n famous house in such n re
gion , the presumption follows that it
must have been the sccnoof soraowlld
and fierce contests for luck and money
botvrncn banker nnd player. This IE
not no. With the exception of ono in
teresting affair , nothing in the way ol

nnd the minors' atriko of 1880 , whlcli
marked the change In tbo llfo of the
city the Texas wna crowded day and
night by men crnzod with the bollol
that they could win a fortune at the
table. Four nnd nix faro lay-outs wore
in constant domain ! . Crowds of people <

the prioo of a last meal , with the hope
of winning a month's board , only to

Without a celebrity on the outside a

change for lawful money of the United
StatuB , and then replacing the oh I pi
in the rack from whence they were
taken , while the player finds his onlj
consolation in grimaces and a raut
torodoath. This was n feature of the
down-itaira games. Nobody came Ir
hero and naked for a hundred or five
hundred dojlar limit ; nobody came ir
hero and requested no limit ; in fact ,
the games were small , conducted on i
large scale of capitalization , The one

The Interesting affair alluded tc
above was ono of Prutland's original

not only sought , but having boon ob-

flattered. It is doubtful if , in the hift-

"Well , wo used to have balls and
