' 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

'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.

brother mighty tiuick. 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

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

they are dropped in his lap on a hand

doing the cheating, there are half a

are in on the play. A bank

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

-Uichartl Thollin was niirty. talU
dark, with sharp, bright eyes and a
long, silky mustache. 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.
While ashore at St.-inburcU a friTht
ful storm overtook th.-m. 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. In war we do
as w arriors do; a g.o.l con--.cv.ne:. pro
motes gayety. especially when st imulat
ed by a little whit win ; an I white
wine, we muU admit, was l!i,:bard
Thollin's weak point
Tin storm eoutinu si to rare without,
and they perforce resigned themselves
to an evening at the inn
"t'omc. meister, said I.'chard. as
they sat together in the large room
at"t'.r -supper, "we are in the heart of
the land of legends. 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. ''l hey
tuake mo yawn; I aai going to bed."
It was midnight, the fantastic hour.
Richard Thollm was toiling tip the nar
row, roc'; v path that led to the rains
ox the old cattle. 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.
Alter many turns and windings they
halted and the phantom pointed to a
large flag with his bony linger.
" riiollin." he command :1. "raise
that stone and take the treasure my
poor treasure:
Richard set to work re&olnt.-ly, pant
irg aud perspiring, as he tugged at the
heavy stones; for it was a work more
lilting a laborer or a mason than tli'i
chief of an important department at
the Louvre. Hut success at last
crown, si his efforts the nag yielded,
was .jtiickly thrust aside, revealing a
dark cavity, and then what a dazzling
sight. Silver florins, gold ducats,
sparkling stones ah, what a treasure!
He lill.-d his pockets -alas! they were
too sinu'L Taking off his coat, he im
provised a bag and filled it also, but
st.ll th re was more.
'"I w dl take this much." he said to
hims4-lf. "and come lack for the rest,
to-morrow. How delighted Stephania
will lie! She will not only have her
cashmere shawl, but wonderful jewels
also"
He started for thedoor. hut the phan
tom stood on the tnreshohl, barring the
way.
"N-o. mv Thollin," he said, in a harsh,
determined voice, "nothing by halves.
I will take no.hing on account on ray
sal vat toil. Yon must take all or you
C-Ut4-ot ISS."
Ah: I cannot pass, eh?" cried
Th-V.liu. w ho was not endowed with
much i:-.tience. "And do you think
yoUT-au stop me. you villain? Wait:
i'll sli.e.v you what a l'arisit.n can dix"
A, he i-pokc hdsDrung at the specter,
clutching his threat in his strong
etunds.
-.Mc-r-v: Mercy! Are you mad? You
are strangling me!"' gasped the phan
loia. Strangling you, am I? So much the
Wttcr -the world will Ik- rid of you."
and Richard's lingers closed tighter and
tighter, until the phantom ceased his
struggles.
"'1 here 1 have settled him," mut
tered he: "now for the treasure "
t Mi! hat stupefaction! No coat, no
yawning cavity, no treasure. He
ruMs-d his eyes and a soft light inun

was the dawn of dav.
