' iamblers divide card jruiner. into ' two sorts "sin rt card" and "lon;r card.' Short card" is the name of any jratne in which hands are dealt, like M-.n-n-up. Hiker tr hi":h five, l'aro is a 3onfr-card frame. Men who follow a.rds.to live generally have some specialty. There is always some form rofrticry ir cheat inr at which a man is anorc x pcrt than at others. He will practice this ineessantly when alone, 4 ne may lie able to "deal si-eond.' anther 'shifts the cut." another's strong .jxiint is Itohlin out:" then thero are "tip or 'bo'tom" dealers l"io talking of "short isarils" now and any of these tricks, if .the proper work can Ik done .in con nection with it, will keep a uian from want. Nowadays an expert -with -cards Ions all his work with his hands anil Titfht on top of the table. He can't Ik regarded at a master and do less. It all roe.H-on the theory that tie 'hand is . quicker than the eye. In aa earlier day card people used various -de-vice to cheat with. There were liv-rs forms of hold-outs liko the sleeve- hold out and the cat jrut. Then some used a little mirror while dealing- Other .would mark a deck; there were men whose strong point was "ilealin seo hiiiiI.' . I always looketl n tlii last aa tlei-:ls:fct and safest way to ro a man. J m."ui would tile the head ff a pitL ajwl paste it ou the inside of hi thumb with ";oll leater skia. The sharp filed point would project slight ly. This was used t mark tle cards. lXy.tle tiiiie a dozen hand- were dea't Mr. Sharp, with his pin jsiint, would ': all. the cards he caretl to mark, suth u'.tltc ace, kiii(T, tjueen, jack and teii, wcTll say. a punch which wou.d leave a little protuberance on the lack of Ihe-card in what would Ihj the riht hanUi eirruoir as one tiealt. This punch wa dualle : at varying tlistanees from theornnT. A certain distance like one fourth) of tin inch marked an mc, a half-inch n kine, and so n. YYhcn Mr. Sharp dealt he was always feeling; for these jHiiutf. .When one came alonr and be (hdn't care to ";ive it to tlie victim. Imt. aimed to reserve it for him self, he pave the victim the next card, or second .curd below, anil all so deftly that noiae -would tell. This is called 'dealing kricund. and by picking- out his cards iu this fashion the robln-r in evitably g-t the nnjter hand. 'Mow war, -the mirror used? The dealer just rested it on his raised knee and dealt over it. He could see the r flection of e-vt-ry carl and a strong trained iiu-niory kept him )ostcd as to the value tif the hands. These two schemes are sper.iinens of what one can work while dewiintT. The "hold-out idea is (food at any time. The catjfnt was one sort of hold-out. It was a har ness of catgut which went on the shoul ders of a man and -extended by an at tachment down the left leg-, it wa fitted with a tierraan silver flat clasp wVich held the cards just as you've seen in art rev t bands for li-.lding music. This cla$ was under the- Jeft arm cd the wearer and his hand f cards was In it a Ire Judy when he sat down. When lie got mady to use it he would palm bis proper .cards and reach inside his vet to rearrange, his clothinjr, fix his shirt frout or Anything. A reve of the left foot brought the cold hand right up to where he cunld get it and put his proper card instead. Another rnove of the foot aud the hold-out wnld retire itnjcr his arm. All through the game a catgut man would ti. liatxls and fix them ready in Jiis hold-out ftar an emergency. I 'at men are the Wst to work a catgut. l-i they are usually the most uneasy alout their ctthes. You think anyone eotild detect all f his work aud llotirish No doubt. Hut you should reflect that these peo ple are no experts as Jlerrinaun or Kel lar at w hatever they are doing. "A idreve liold-wut was something the same. Vat wotUed in the left sleeve. It was a cbuuny thing, though, aud as the frame was steel one had to be care ful and not atrike it against the table. The uoiv: oyld give j-ou dead away. A litgut cost t .j hundretl dollars. A slvc hold--ju was worth fifty dollars. "Mort-card plyers have a lot of feign, to"- Very often a cuple of gam-bl.-r-- -frrjifers to ea"li f-ther. find HK IS A FkEKMAN VHUM TRk 1KCTH KI5KNSI.URG.

Now the chances are these two thieves go into immediate partnership right under the victim nose and eyes. "Is it in and in?" says one sharp in a low tone f careless amiability as if talking lei iiimself. A nod f.-,M!( the other is n,ugli. They are t tlivide after t lie gaiuo. A gamble! In.-lfvvvs :i little sure money is K-tter Ihan big money tva chances. It is the bird i:i t"ie han ln-ing liettcr than lvo in the b-.tsh er again, so they ha l no trouble in agreeing. When two are after one i: a poker game it is easy. They can raise and keep raising and us he is in U'tKiceti them his 'calling" doesn't st,:l the exercise at all. He is hus led along to pt up more money than he should or would. At last one -er tin sharps the -one with t lie right "hand makes a guiT.it raise-and as the 'victim culls it, the ot icr one discreojiy stays nut and so Jtcoids showing his lrond. "1 was sitting ia -a little game last Slimmer tip in l!ston, and all were strangers to me. Vl never entered my 4iead that any of tlic rest w ere strong tpeople. and 1 was 'looking for a nice cozy time all to myself witli threw suckers. You -ili judge of my disgust as the old gray-headed party opp.t site. in an early hour of the game. picked looking a very just as when he up kis hand and. after at it, gave his aged head light but significant pat. NuMivau d,K's in the play savs: 'Let me think. It was a signal to thc-raseal at my ellm-.v. and meant 'Pat 'hand here. You should have seen t'iie three jacks I owned go into the di.-card-zz-.-.! 1 didn't want any of it. The pat-hand man noticed it and savt .1 was on. 'Make it three?' I inquired- and the two robln-rs nodded a weary a j.proval. So we three all laid for one man then. My end came to sixty dollars. "Yes: tyon can cheat at faro bank. You have'to have a lx tixeil t deal tlouble and lilted with a put back place. Then the cards must be strippers and sand bai.-ks. You can take a pair of shears. nrr--an expert can make any deck into strippers. It is a nice job and worth just twenty-live dollars to do it. In cheating at faro bank the dealer must not only know where every card is. but unless the case-keeper knows, too, or if any player is marking a tab on the game lie must In- able to 'put back -the second cards he ti:ids it necessary to deal. These second cards he does not put in the two little stacks which show the cards ttirneiL Hut they are dropped in his lap on a hand kcrehief. As a rule, wheu a bank is doing the cheating, there are half a doxcu players around the Jnjard who are in on the play. A bank with a sucker to rob will employ a levy to sit around aud make pretended bets with chips lent to them. They would get five dollars a night apiece for this pretended playing and are Miere to till m the table and make a crowd just like sujkts at a theater. Whenever it is necessary t put back cards these outsiders on a pretense of placing In-ts will raise up -or stretch :acriss the lay-out betwaxrn the sucker .juu!- the dealer. That is all the cover a .sharp dealer needs and in go the cards which ought not to lie out. This may b- ilone t"or three time duri.ig a deal. No: no regular room us u rule -.will-turn in to cheat a man. .It could 'Brit afford to gain the reputation. 'Wlrcn a sucker is spotted, a new room is hired altogether, and a lay-out put in ami Mr. Victim is steered against it. When he is skinned, the room closes. 'That game's mission on earth is ended. ""It takes a good deal of -money to pay the expenses of a faro bank. There is a bank in the liottoms wfcere there are three tables run day and night. le sides,si,le games like roulette. It takes, -counting dealers, look-out- and all the a-est ilown to porters, at least forty :iuen to Tun this, rtvotu. Some of them :are high-priced people like the dealers .and look-outs, who get from, five to seveu.and a half dollars a driy, seven days in the week. Kveti the porter gets twelve dollars a week. Then there .are gas bills, rents and all t,io,xpen.ses for chips, cards, tables. cte t say nothing of blackmail. The whole ex pense of running the bank i at 1-ast .. !.KK a week. There is nothing cheap ilout faro bank." 'For the Trnirtimvir. 'lf you ever get locked up. sai.l the -rcnerable rounder, 'there two worth knowing. Of a trick or t;i-s:.

He -was ehief of an important department, at th" Louvre, enjoyed a good salary and a fair percentage on silks and shawls. So well to do was Iwe, in fact, that be could well afford a few luxuries, and after mature reflection :he resolved t lay his heart and riches at the feet of Mile. Stephania Marchet. 1 he daughter of a small iticrcliait. an entluis,:ist iu music anl a pupil at the conservatory. She possessed no dowry, but she was so graceful, so vxuisite. and Hii-hard was so full of eon rage It was a leautif::l .Itine evening, and they had passed through all the phases of a delightful honeymoon, wh -;i Kieli nrd suddenly l,rachcd a proiwo-itioii to his radiant sponr. '"My dear Stephania." he sai l, ten tlerly. "I have reserved the liest for the last. I wanted to give you , l,t.e surprise, and h.-re it is. Now. what would please ytm most a two wee"s, trip on the Khine or a leautiful cash mere sha v. 1 to protect you pretty little shoulders from fog and rain?"' As b.-eame an enthusiast iu music. Stephania affected a dreamy mn- and rvplie I: "My love, I prefer the trip to the Khine: to that classic land of music, of my sacred art! It seems to me that I au already there and that the divine melodies of Mozart. Sciiuoert an. I ltee t:ovei are ring.n ; in my ear." And lowering Jkt v-;e., she wh'spend: Ict us g titer.1!- the cashmere snawl will eo. ne later. " A nd so the voyage was leci led. The vessel that came i M. and Mme. Thd lin gluled gayly Along the Khine. mak ing freijuent st-ps on those enchanting shores, where the happy couple mused and dreameri, charmed by the cquct tish villages and the green vineyard that nestled at the foot of the hid on w h.ch towered old burgs, picturesque ruins of ancient feudal manors.

They 'o.t.i I it impossible t- reach the l iat in time and were forced t tak n-fu;.v in the only inn of the place, an old tuinbled tlown building standing at the foot of a rugged mountain crowned by the ruins of an old castle. The rooms were imwlest and the fare meager, consisting principally of mut ton stew and lean i more In-ans than mutton. Hut such a delicious white wine sparkled in the glasses that they ul most forgot the r.-,t.

Like all your countrymen, you must lie well versed in such lore. and. tiiough not on the bill of fare. I hope you will serve one for dessert. "'Ah, my dear monsieur," protested mine host, "we should not speak of such thing when the thL.;i-lcr is rumbling over our heads; it will bring ill luck." "(in on. anyway; we don't mind the thunder." "Well, monsieur, you see that old castle tower, ng aiiove ns over there it is haunted by . specter, and that is why it is deserted." "Hut who is this specter?"' "In his day ho was a powerful lord and a great brlgantL lie was harsh to his vassals, robbed traveler and buried his money and stolen gtHxls in some cave known to him only. Ihiringa great .torra he died suddenly and had no time to diseioie the place of con cealment in which he had chosen to bury his treasures. And since that time, whenever there is a storm, fright ful cries are heard from the rnins. It is the soul of the accursed lord, con demned to wander t.iere until some good Christian finds the treasure and di .tributes it to the poor." "Hah! W hat a fare-." sneered Rich ard. "I must go and t-ee the place, and if I find the famous treasure well, you shall have your cashmere r.'nawl, my Stephania." "My dear, you are ridiculous with your legends," repl.ed his wii'e.

He was to co-.v.-l and was determined to search the old burg in the hope of meeting the phan tom and finding out where the treas ure was concealed. As he entered the t-r.mber archway there suddenly arose before him a tall, white figure, luminous and moving, with the light and shadowy movement of the specter. So you have come at last, Thollin, ;d a deep, topjiKhral voice. "I have Di.M) m long expected you. lllessea are you. courageous mortal, who came to de liver me." Then, pointing to a cavity under the archway, he weut on: "All the neeessary tools are there; lake them and follow me." However brave a man mpy Ttc, he is always hnpresed by a phantom. Rich ard ol-cycd. found a pick and shovel, pl.i.-l them n his shoulder and fol lowc.L The specter ascended a nar rotv stairway, lighted only by his .pectral light. "Wild: whst: this way." he called.
