A BLUFF THAT DIDN'T ' GO ,
Julius Chambers In Cincinnati Commercial.
Never ulnco thnt night Imvo I touched
n canil I waa a collector for n dry goods
house , mid reached Chicago on a winter
afternoon from tlio northwest with several
thousand dollars of tlio firm's money In my
possession. The collections madeIn the
larger cities wcra chlclly In tlio form of certi
fied checks , but In the smaller towns the
traders wore tumble to pay In any other form
but cash , and objectionable as It was to mete
to carry a large amount of money I was
compelled to receive what was offered. It
was too Into for mo to deposit the money In
a bank. The result was that I was compelled
to place It In an envelope and leave It with
the clerk of my hotel for safe keeping. Ho
was undoubtedly In collusion with a lot of
professional gamblers who lived In the house ,
because , before supper , I had been Introduced
to several very slock-looklnE gentlemen , who
manifested considerable. Interest In my wel
fare.
fare.After
After supper a game of poker was pro
posed , nnd as I had several hundred dollars
of my own money In my clothes I saw no
objection to the suggestion. The limit sug
gested was comparatively low and I knew
uomothlng of the game , at least sufficient to
Induce mo to bcllevo that I could hold my
oVvn.
oVvn.Such
Such Is the vanity of the amateur In nearly
all games of chance.
The party was practically made up , when
I was accosted by a follow traveler on the
road , a young Cincinnati salesman named
Whitney , whom I had known for several
years and whose frank , honest face Inspired
me with the highest confidence. I was par
ticularly anxious that he should join the
game In order that I might have somebody
at the table who was not an entire stranger.
Of course , the other men pretended to bo
mere speaking acquaintances ; but I was not
so "green" as to accept that theory of the
situation , and I had nil my perceptive fac
ulties keyed up to detect collusion and fraud.
Larry Whitney agreed to take a hand pro
vided he would bo allowed to stop whenever
he chose.
The game ran along quietly for half an
hour , nobody making any suggestion to In
crease the $3 limit agreed upon. 1 was
ahead about $ SO. Whitney was a small loser.
No amount of money worth lathing about had
changed hands. I had my eyes about me ,
but had failed ta detect the slightest evi
dence of collusion or fraud on the part of
my new acquaintances. 1 played , therefore ,
with a feeling of greater confidence , and
throw myself with enthusiasm Into the game.
There was very little talking at the table.
Probably I did more of It than anybody else.
About this time we had a "Jack pot. " The
deal was In the hands of the man to my left ,
one of the strangers. The first player
"passed , " the second player said he "couldn't
open It , " the third player ( Whitney ) knocked
on the table to Indicate that he had not
"Jacks or better ; " the fourth player ( the
man on my right ) tossed a blue chip -into
Iho center of the table as he remarked :
"I break It for the limit. "
I looked my hand over , and , having kings
and Jacks , I raised the bet another "fiver. " .
The dealer "quit , " as did the man next to |
him. TJio second player "stayed" for the ! j
$10 ; so did Whitney. The fourth player , who i
I
had originally "opened the pot , " saw the
raise and raised again. I "shipped 4ong , " j
but. was rather surprised to find "strength" ' i
develop In the second player , who not only I
"raised" the pot again , but did It with a I
promptitude that Indicated that he meant to
stay. Whitney wouldn't be "frozen out. "
When It came to No. 4 again , ho again
"raised. " It then dawned upon mo that
Whitney and I were being "saw-bucked , "
and I Immediately determined that I would
quietly drop out. Surely enough No. 2
"lifted it" again. Whitney laid down. No.
4 merely , stayed , and I concluded to draw
cards.
This Is what the draw revealed :
No. 2 took two cards. The logic of this
act was that ho was drawing to a small
pair and a "kicker , " or that he had de
clined to open on "threes , " or ( what was
highly Improbable ) that ho was trying to fill .
a three-card "flush. " I sot him down for a |
pair of spot cards , with an ace or king. If a
king , I had little fear of his getting the i
"case" card , as I already held two kings
myself. Of course the chief danger to bo
apprehended from him was that ho had
"threes" to go In.
No. 4's draw was rather Interesting. Ho
took one carfl , placing his discard consplcn-
ously before him and laying a chip upon It. i
This was obviously intended to give the 1mI I
presslon that ho had "broken" a pair , upon I
which ho had opened the "Jack pot , " and
that ho was now drawing to a flush or ' ,
straight. I
Realizing that I possibly had "threes' " to
beat at No. 2 and a "straight" or "flush" i
at No. 4 , I made "a freak |
draw. " The reason I preferred to
"stay" to the Jacks rather than to
the kings was that I had an Intuitive sus-
plcion that "No. 2 was "holding up" a king , l
These inexplicable Impressions thnt all card '
players have are very curious psychological
phenomena , but every man who plays poker j
understands how strong Is their Influence. |
I picked up my three cards and discovered
to my surprise that two of them were Jacks
and the third one was a king. That disclos
ure gave mo a little start , because It was
obvious to mo that I would have a full hand
In any event that Is , with Whitney driven '
out of the game nnd exactly two men to take ,
cards before mo ! So strong was the effect of >
that thought that I would now have played
a king or jack with great caution. Uut with
fours It was different ! There was nothing
whatever to indicate a suspicion of any such ;
strength mound the tablo. I tried to lookt t
unconcerned and.waited for the opening bet. ,
Then I raised It to the limit ; I heard It raise 1 i
again ; I saw the original opener "lift" it
once more , with a remark about "over-play-
Ing a high flush. " '
I am not sure whether I first suggested
the removal of the limit , or whether the j
thought was first advanced by the man on . '
the left of me. I began to feel the indo-
scrlbable passion of the gaming table. The l
prospect of winning the money of my comf J
panlons was so promising that all the mean , '
and avaricious traits of my character developed -
veloped , and I became another and a differ
ent man bereft of human sympathy , domi
nated solely by a selfishness that I never 1
had known before. [ I
will tell that 1
Professional gamblers you .
the percentage In their favor In any of the | i
mechanical games Is very trilling. They will t
convice you that the man who plays faro i f
and bets only on the case cards that Is i
to say , on the last king , or ace , or deuce In i c
the dealer's box after the other three have I 1
been withdrawn has an exactly oven | 1
rhanco with the establishment. Abstractly I
that Is true , and as gamblers are men of i
abstraction they cannot bo. charged with I
aischood , H t above and' beyond all this t
percentage nre uncalculated factors that
mltlgato against the player. Ho has to do
the guessing ! He has to decide whether
the card ho Is hacking will ba drawn first
or second from the box. But far be end c
that Is the temperament of the Individual i
player. It makes little difference whether i I
ho b'o Intoxicated or sober If the mad pas- 1
slon to win develops during his play and t
often comes like an attack of epilepsy or , . t
hysteria ho will not stop with a reasonable ) I
winning or bo iatlsfled to accept a reason- I
able loss. If behind the giime he will t
plunge and play recklessly to regain his I c
lessen. If fortunate enough to win moder
ately ho Is unsatisfied , and determined to
crush the gambling business by despoiling
the proprietor of every dollar ho pomesscj.
This In especially true of roulette , faro nnd
trcntcet qimranto. In poker Iho player
has time to mentally reason nnd discuss
the probability regarding Iho strength of
the hands out against him. It IK unques
tionably the safest game that can bo plnycd
for money , It the limit bo small nnd un
alterable.
Somebody made the suggestion that the
limit bo abolished. I was glad that the
suggestion wai acceded to by the two other
players. I had discarded two kings , BO
there could not be four , kings out against me
and the probabilities of four nces or four
queens being "out" were very slight.
When , therefore , the player on my left
raised my last raise $100 Instead of $3 , I
was mentally delighted. I wns oven more
glad when the original "opener" made It
$100 more. I had $200 In checks before mo ,
nnd pushed thorn Into the center of the
table. Then taking nil the money I had In
my pocket 1 counted It out to the extent of
$250 , nnd raised the pot thnt amount. The
next moment I asked Whitney to ring the
bell , telling him when thu waiter appeared
to ask the clerk In the hotel to como to the
room nt once ,
I wanted moro money , and ns It seemed
to me that I was taking very llttlo risk , I
had decided to borrow the firm's cash In my
posserslon.
That was embezzlement ! I know you
will say so , and I see It nil clearly now ,
but at that moment my dying mother could
not have convinced me ! In my excitement
I forgot that I had marked the amount of
money upon the outside of the envelope , ns
required by the Illinois law , In order thnt
the liability of the hotel proprietor may be
fixed , and that a knowledge of the exact ex
tent of my finances might enable my op
ponents , If they had money enough between
them , to "freczo" mo out by continually
raising mo until I could not "put up. " The
hotel clerk responded with surprising
alacrity , and returned with the precious en
velope In n few moments. After placing It
carefully In my hands the clerk left the
room without apparently recognizing any
of my companions.
My two opponents had exercised unusual
deliberation during the Incident with the
hotel clerk , and It was not until his de
parture that the man on my left "saw"
my $250 "raise" and the $100 of the o'ther
player , making $350 In all , after which ho
ndded five crisp $100 bills on the stake ! I
felt a cold perspiration on my temple , nnd
realized that I was In a desperate predica
ment.
"Mine are Just ns good as they were , " re
marked Number Kour , as ho counted out
$1,250 In satisfaction of the two "raises"
and his $500 addition to the stake.
I looked into my hand carefully. None
of the Jacks had got away from mo ! I
thought the situation all over again. The
possibility of a single straight flush In the
hand of the man to my right froze the mar
row In my bones.
What could I do ?
It Is well enough for you to say that I still
could have retired with a comparatively
small loss and remained nn honest man ; but
you do not comprehend the power of the
passion that controlled me a passion that
sways the mind of any amateur at such a
crisis of his life. Of course , my companions
knew I would not stop with the roll of bills
In my pocket they had seen mo take from
the bulging envelope.
It cost mo $1,000 to "call , " but I did so.
To my surprise the man on my left "saw"
the $500 ralso of his opponent and added an
other $1,000 to it.
Number Four , without an Instant's hesita
tion , raised back the pot $1,000.
I then knew that I had "overbet" my hand
but I was "In" too far to withdraw. I had
already embezzled $1,000 of the company's
money and ruin stared me In the face.
I "saw" the $2,000 as promptly as possible ,
fortunately counting the money In my lap.
ThaC made $3,000 of the money committed
to my care by men who Implicitly trusted
me.
me.On the back of the envelope had been
written In figures $3,2CO. Uut to my amaze
ment I found that after I had again "called"
with the $2,000 quite a quantity of bills re
mained on my knee. I had made a mistake
when I sealed up the money. I certainly
had. Fully $3,000 In good bills yet re
mained.
I had utterly forgotten a largo payment
made ma at Milwaukee on that very morn
ing.
ing.While
While this discovery was engaging my at
tention , the man on my right , who deemed
very nearly out , of money , "saw" the thous
and ; dollar raise and added $2GO thereto.
This was an eye-opener to me. It showed
that thin player was In the possession of the
supposed amount of my stake. I knew ex
actly what to expect next , and It came like
a volley from a.mitrailleuse.
With a gleam of triumph In his eye. Num
ber Four "saw" the $200 "ralso" and added :
"I lift It a thousand. "
Hoio was where the catastrophe was to
have occurred ! The player on my left was
obviously j "broken , " and showed every Indi
cation , of an Intention to "lay down" his
cards. , My friend Whitney was aghast
fully realizing that I had been "sawbucked"
by j the two men acting In collusion. Ho wax
frantically , going through his clothes In the
hope j of being able to lend mo enough money
to "call" for the third time. Uut I could
see by his face that ho was hopeless. I de
tected a gleam of sarcastic mirth on the
face of the dealer. It was only by an effort
that I swallowed the lump In my throat ,
looked at my card again , nnd , with a sigh
that would have broken the heart of my
wlfi J > , I counted out $1,2GO and raised the pot
$2,000 , In "long green. "
Consternation appeared on the faces of my
companions. The two players against me ,
In > their dismay , cast off the mask. Number
Two asked his colleague to lend him enough
money ' to "call" me. Ho appealed In vain
to ' Whitney , showing him his hand , which
contained ' four area. Ho was finally com
pelled to throw down his hand.
Number Four was In dismay. Ho asked
mo to reduce my bet to $800 all the money
lie had but I refused to do so.
Asking Whitney to take out his watch , I
demanded to Ijnow what my only remaining
antagonist Intended to do. Ho asked to
leave the room for fifteen minutes , In which
to secure more -noney.
"Never ! " said I.
At n motion from mo Whitney' rose * and
locked the door and put the key In his
pocket. I was well armed. I believed that
Whitney also was , nnd I was determined to
maka the- tight of my life for the possession
of that money. I had detected , as I believed ,
a conspiracy to rob me , and I was not dis
posed to concede n single point. At the
end of five minutes the gambler tossed his
hand Into the cuntcr of the table and got on I
Ills feet. As ho did so we all rose. Ho I
bowed to mo and bald , with a calmness that c
marked him as a professional gamester : <
"It's a dead 'freeze out ; ' but your nerve I
and your money win. " f
Ho had laid down a "straight flush ! " I

Trophy Point.
Trophy Point Is the most Interesting spot
on the Hudson's hank. A few hundred yards
north of the West Point Military ncadomy. It
commnnds n view of the river ns far north ns
N'owhTirg. TowcrliiK Cro' Nrst nnd Storm
KliiS rlso nbovc-lt to the lott , while Mount
Laurcns nnd Drenkneck look down upon It
from the rlfiht. The Hudson flows thruUKh
the chasm which sepnratts these giant hills ,
nnd turns with nn abrupt curve , to be lost
behind the jugged , wood-crowned cliffs which
form what Is known an Ous Point nnd
Flirtation.
In Revolutionary dnys , writes n corre
spondent of the New York Times , Trophy
Point was known ns Kort Shut-bourne. The
position was n commnndlni ; one nnd Colonel
Hadlcro , the French engineer olllcer , who
wns commliHlnned to construct the fortifica
tions nt West Point , BelcctMl It as a point
from which great dnmnge could he tlono to
the enemy's ships. Kosclusko strengthened
the works which hla predecessor had begun
and redoubts wtro thrown up almost to the
river's edge. When Andre was captured and
Arnold had taken refuge within the llrltlsh
lines , nil attempts to capture West Point
wore abnndontd. The forts , however , were
kept In good condition until nfter the close of
the wnr , when they wore dltmiantlod.
Fort Sherbouruu wns leveled , uml nt a
Inter period became the repository for can
non captured In the Revolutionary , Mexican
and civil wars. A few yards In the rear la
a clstern-shapod spot , occupied by tennlu
courts. In Revolutionary days It wns lined
for the execution of. crlmlnnH , spies nnd
traitors. It Is known us Uxccutlon , or Gal
lows Hollow. The mortar , slego and sen-
coast batteries , where the cadets practice ,
nro Just below the point. The rows of cap
tured cannon , mortars nnd balls of various
shapes nro distributed picturesquely. Four
largo bronze mortnrs , which wcro sur
rendered to General Worth nt Perotc , April
22 , IS 17 , occupy the northwest corner of
Trophy Point. They wcro surrendered by
the Mexican commissioner , General Vasqucz ,
after his army had lied without offering bat
tle to the United States troops. They wcro
cast In 1715 and are utamped with the anna
of Ferdinand VI. They were exhibited nt
Chicago.
A huge stone ball , captured during the
revolutionary war. Is placed a few feet
back oC the mortars. Two small machine
of modern make marked "
guns , "Word-
worth's Ordnance , Manufactured 1SCO , " Ho
near the section of the great chain which
was stretched across the river from Gus
Point to Constitution Island , In 177S. A
small tablet states that the chain was
forged nt the Sterling Iron works , near
Sloatsburg Station , Orange county , N. Y.
The description of this chain given by his
torians Is very Interesting. It was hauled ,
they say , pleco by ploce , to New Windsor ,
and put together under the direction of
Captain Mncliln. It was then floated down
to West Point , and placed In position , with
out accident. In front of the chain a heavy
boom of logs was placed. Toward the end
of October , the chain and boom wcro un
moored nnd hauled onthe bench , BO
that no damage might happen from the
Ice. Crlbbago blocks wcro used to fasten
the chain and boom to the shore. It la
said that the chain weighed ISO tons. The
links weighed from 114 to 130 pounds each.
In removing the boom finally , a portion of It
became detached , and the logs , being wntcr-
soakcd , sank to tho' bottom of the11 'river ' ,
where , after being washed by thi ? tide fdr
eighty years , they have been In part re
covered , nnd nro now preserved nt the Newburg -
burg museum. Another chain was placed
as an obstruction nt Fort Montgomery , four
miles below West Point , which the British
destroyed nftcr capturing the fort on the
morning of October 7 , 1777. This chain ,
with the boom , cost $250,000 , and Its loss \vas
a serious blow to the Continental urmy.
On the southwest corner of Trophy Pojnt
nro live largo brass guns which were cap
tured at Contrcrns and Chnpultepeo in
1S47. They were manufactured In Southamp
ton , England , In 1812 , by J , J. Wolf. The
history of their capture Is interesting-
The ujght previous to the battle of Contre-
ras men and ofllcers stood knee deep In
mud and water with the rain pouring In tdr-
rents upon them until the gray dawn saw
them marching to attack the Mexican army.
At 3 o'clock on the morning of August 20
Cadwnlladcr's , Rlley'a and Dunmlck's bri
gades , under command of General Smith ,
attacked the enemy , niley stormed the In-
trenchmcnts from the rear , nnd In fifteen
minutes Ills colors were flying over the Mex
ican works. In this bnttlo 700 of the enemy .
wore killed and 818 men were taken pris
oners , nmong whom wcro four generals and
fifty-eight other olllcors. Twenty-two brass
cannon were also captured.
On the south sldo n row of twenty guns
of various sizes forma nn Interesting collec
tion. Several of them wore , captured at
Rcsaca de la Palma May 0 , 1846. Two bronze
guns , on which are elaborately carved the
llrltlsh arms , bear the Inscription , "Cap
tured at Stony Point , July 17. 1779. " One
boars the inscription : Gyges Ultima Ilntlo
Rcgum Louis Charles de Ilourbon , Cumto
d'I3u IJuc d'Aumalo. " Others wore cap
tured at Palo Alto , Ilesaca , Monterey , Mo-
Ino , Churubusco , Mexico , Rlnggnld , Jliiona
Vista and Vera Cruz. The forty-two guns
lying on the cast sldo of Trophy Point wcro
captured In the Mexican war. Four largu
guns captured from the confederates In 1SU4
are In tlio roar.
The largest gun on Trophy Point is
mounted In the center of the collection. Its
liugo muzzle sweeps the river , nnd can bo
turned BO as to cover either shoro. It waa
cast in the foundry of Sir William Arm
strong at Newcastle-oii-Tyno , for the confederate -
federate government , and weighs 15,737 *
pounds. Tim dnto on the carriage Is 1SG4
and the number 1,207. The story of Us cap-
ttiro Is aa follows :
General Terry , with a force of 8,000 men ,
left Fort Monroe January C , 1SC5. The
transports reached Beaufort on the 8th , and ,
under protection of Admiral Porter's Meet ,
landed on Federal Point on the morning of
the 13th. The attack on Fort Fisher began
on the IMIi. Every Inch of ground waa
contested with desperation. The un'on
fleet shelled the fort , nnd the land forces
gained the parapets , driving back the con
federates to the remaining traverses. These
were captured about 9 o'clock In the cyeuliig ,
and a few minutes later Battery Duchanan ,
to which the mirvlvorx of the garrison had
lied , fell Into the hands of tic ( unionists ,
Among the Bayrny-flvo guns captured at
Fort Fisher W.IH the largo Armstrong gun ,
which rises Ilko a giant among Its follows
on Trophy Paint. The garrison at the tlmo
of thn nxsaiilt on Fort Fluhcr numbered 2,300
IULMI ; 1,971 men nnd 115 ofllccrs wcro rap
tured , the rest being killed or wounded. Tlia
union loss was about 1,0,00. Admiral Porter
remarked of It afterwards that Fort Flshor
WHS stronger than the Mulakorf tower , which
dolled- the combined power of Franco uml
England for so many years.
Twenty-three brass guna and two mortars
captured In Mexico face the north. A num
ber o ( Iron guns captured In the civil war
are also lined up hero. Artistically grouped ,
pyramidal-shaped heaps of balls and shell *
art ) placed at Interval ! ) between. A llttlo to
the north of Trophy Point U the new hattlo
monument , which will be unveiled In June.
It U the largest alone shaft In ttio United
States. The post chapel and Fort Clinton
contain many valunblu trophies captured
from the English nnd Mexicans. When the
new Cullom Memorial building U flnUhed ,
all of the * ? scattered trophies will bo pUcod
In Its museum.
