THE NEW VOIiK ALPS.
A New Jersey Man's View of the
City in 1020.
It was a sultry morning- in Antrust,
l'JJJ; luninaii idle day in New York,
I lisitl invoio-letl a frien.l into sluiwiii
.ne its marvelous sio-lits.
"I liupc you've lirou' lit an overcoat."
lie isani. to my amazement, as we
-tartel out. "You will ifeeJ it." lie
itlile.l, mopino; his foreliea.l. As he
..poke we turiieil into a narrow street
t-uiiiiin- in. rili an.l south. Here a
tireeze struck our faces as cool as if it
blew from the ferny depths of a can
yon. The li'Iit was twilight, ami
l.'.:intr up I saw that we were walletl
in ly t-io-antic buil.liiii-s. Far above,
between their black si.les, ran a silver
ribbon of sky.
e are now entering' the ran'e of
the Xev York Alps," he c.xclaimc.l.
"I.at w.iat i t!ie reason for tlii.isu.l
len ehau-e ill the weather?" 1 aske.l,
leariii - to contract pneumonia before
1 c.iuU button my coat.
"Why, the sun rises at eleven ami
sets at two in this street. Jt is called
'rcvase alley. This building- on the
riyht is Junjfrau. the other J uyo-er-liaut.
Jtotli are snovv-eapjied." He
then bewail to stare so hard at Jun-r-frau
that 1 thought he must be tryinff
to discover a mortjrae on it, but one
glance at his face assuted me that 1
was wrong1. He was weeping "That
is my old homestead,' he sighed.
1 looked at him amazed. "What a
perfectly enormous family there must
have been!"
"Only three children," he replied,
puzzled at my surprise. "h, I e, "
he laughed; "you thought we occupied
the whole building. No, indued; there
were forty-tive other families under
the same roof. My homestead is the
two extreme northeast windows of the
tenth iloor. See, one of them has a
jar of milk on it." Then followed an
eloquent silence which I dared not
break. "I tell you, Tom," he at length
continued, "it stirs all the poetry in
my being to see my old home again.
W hat foud memories cling to that win-do-
'"
I found myself instinctively looking
up for the memories. Just then a ped
dler accosted us.
"Looking for your old homestead?"
he asked. "Hire one of my tine tele
scopes." My companion drew himself up stiff
ly. "My family were first settlers, and
our windows can be seen with the
naked eye. You see, my father." he
continued to me, "owned a very valua
ble layer of air th.'ee hundred and
lilty feet above the building. I was
not old enough then to advise him. so
he sold out. But it was a mistake.
New York air is getting more valuable
every da3-."
I thought it a kindness to check
unhappy reminiscences, so I said:
""liut how can the memory of such a
cooped-up life be grateful? What fun,
for instance, can a boy have in such a,
place?"
th, it was possible in those days to
reach the sidewalk during the course
of a morning, and there we played
like rowdies. To be sure, we were
cramped in many ways. We were like
the elephant in the conundrum we
couldn't clitnb a tree; then the rules of
the Hat admitted no domestic animals
neither dogs, chickens nor horses."
"That was hard."
"Yes; still I love the old spot."
As we talked we threaded our way
through Kaviue streetaudUulley way,
always in the cool shallow of buildings
wlue tops were lost in the clouds. I
was tliiiiWiuvr the while of the sweet,
idle lields of my New Jersey farm, ami
1 asked: "Is there not ground enough,
that people should take to building
castles in the air?"
"Is it possible, men, that you do not
understand the wonderful advantage
of those buildings?"
"Frankly, no; and, moreover, I've
been racking my brain to discover why
they are painted in stripes."
"The particular building before you
is called the Refrigerator," he ex
plained. "And those stripes are the
isothermal lines representing its sum
mer climate red being torrid; green,
temperate; white, approaching arctic.
Well. I'd no idea you knew so little of
the world; you must have been living
in New Jerse3" Then, seeing my
confusion, he said: "In that case you
need a change of air. Let us ascend
the Refrigerator. It only takes a day
au.l a half."
"A day and a half!" I gasped. "And
you sleep in the elevator?"
"Why, yes. There are Pullman
sleepers attached. liut don't say ele
vators, man; that's old American.
They're called translators now. Come,
It's sweltering here, and once there
we'll have peaches for tea and tobog
gan slides after. I know some de
lightful people, too the first families
of the Refrigerator, who claim to have
come up in the first translator."
The plan was alluring, I agreed, and
in an hour we were on board the trans
lator, speeding upward.
The first stations were hot, noisy
slams, and, as I am rich and tmverty
auuoys me, I paid no attention to
them. It grew more interesting iu
the afternoon, when we struck October
weather, and as we neared a station
the conductor called out: "Thirty
mirutes'for shopping."
Upon uiy looking puzzled my friend
said: "We'll need to stop and buy
warmer clothing." I was beginning to
lose the jHiwer of being surprised, so I
made uo exclamation when we alighted
upon an indoors street lined with
u
HE IS A FRKKMAN WHOM THE TRCTH MAKES FREE AND ALL ABE SLAVES BESIDE."
EBENS15UEG, PA., FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1S94.
stores. The inhabitants were bri.sk,
and there was a general air of gaj-etj-ami
a great display of fashion.
"We've now entered the green
isotherm." said my friend; "the sum
mer resorts of the "upper ten. In fact,
the social scae runs up and down this
building tike a thermometer, and one
often hears the elite described as a
seventy -de .free family."
"At least at one end of the scale
thev live oil 0," I added.
"The next region is a queer con
trast." he continued, as the translator
again sped upwards. "The apartments
are inexpensive, for clouds hang con
tinually about the windows. The com
munity is composed almost entirely of
poets and artists, for they love to live
in the clou. Is. you know."
I was much disapointed to see that,
as our route lay through a dark shaft,
we could see nothing of the scenery.
The room was artificially lighted, and
I only felt with horror that we were
still llyiii:'1 upward.
"Aren't we almost up to heaven?" I
asked, finally.
"No," lauged my friend. "Hut this
is our last stop. We are now ou the
roof of the Arctic llats," he explained
as we alighted. "This is mild winter
climate."
I observed many bazars where furs,
skates and blankets were for sale, and
Christmas trees' were st -witling every
where. There had been a light fall of
snow, and children were coasting mer
rily ilown a slanting roof; there were
even a few sleighs. I noticed shadows
shifting over us continually, and look
ing up 1 saw air-ships flying in every
direction.
"You will be surprised to hear," said
my friend, "that many never leave
these regions during1 their lifetime,
which accounts fur the fair northern
type of the inhabitants. I have an
aunt living here whom I've never seen.
She was naturally frigid and pre
ferred living in these llats. We call
her Aunt Arctic, and often talk of fit
ting out an expedition to discover
her."
"Had you any idea," I interrupted,
"that, it was half-past ten o'clock. It's
perfectly light!"
"Oh, that's because we're so near the
stars. You'll find out that all the as
tronomers live lu re. They tell us that
there are indications that Mars is leav
ing her orbit to avoid the smoke from
the chimneys f our hig-h buildings."
"I don't doubt it. I should think on
a soft summer evening one might even
hear the music of the spheres here."
"You may rft. he rejoined, "but
queer things a e hapH-iicd. It's an
actual fact that after the Wi.rl.l
building was Completed one of Jupi
ter's moons deserted him and took to
revolving around its Home. Astrono
mers were wild with excitement. Hut
one ni'ht it disappeared, having dis
covered, I supose, that the World was
not exactly a heavenly body."
Just then we were attracted by a
great crowd under a lightning-rod.
"Why, you see." explained a man,
"we had a friget last night; a star got
stuck on our lightning-rod."
"You don't mean it?"
"A fact, sir. After an hour of agony
on our part, during which we played
the hose on it, it wiggled itself clear
and rolled oif."
"How strange it all is!" I murmured
as we walked on. "In my geography
days I used to consider the Rocky
mountains high, but after seeing the
New York buildings I shall never
again presume to th nk so. I under
stand now a sentence in uiy daughter s
lesson which puzzled us both. It said
"The New York glacier rises in the
New ork Alps, takes a downward
course, anil empties into the West side
sewer.' "
"Oh, yes; that starts in the north
gutter of the Iceberg llats."
As it was getting late we descended
to the summer resorts. wlu-Ve we had
decided to remain a time in preference
to the Arctic region; for, as my friend
said, "Living was too high up there."

INJUN JOE.
Barney's Adventure with the Last
of the Iroquois.
Hidden away from the riotous world
is rustic little Moose village. Every
body in the Ottawa valley knows it.
The brown river Hows slowly past as if
sorry to leave it; the inhabitants are
wont to remark that nothing but
death or a War hunt "way back on
the nation," can ever draw them away;
and last, but not least, when "Injun
Joe" fixed up his wigwam on the
Point, although he didn't know it, peo
ple concluded that they might reckon
on him as a permanency. The Point
was atxiut half a mile alove the vil
lage, and its silver sands ran a long
way out. Just at the extreme edge,
within a few feet of the lapping water,
and sheltered by one majestic sugar
maple. Injun Joe's quaint little tent
drew the attention of wandering art
ists as they went down in the lioat.
All sorts of stories were invented
about Joe, but none really knew
where he had been dragged up. Some
said that he was an Indian sachem of
the Iroquois come to life again be
cause he had misconducted himself in
the happy hunting grounds. This,
however, was generally regarded in
Miller's store as an elaborate tictiou
invented by that blonde young humor
ist Karney Maguire. "You see, boys,"
tliat worthy would observe to the
crowd, "it's this way: That there In
jun's been let looser by one of them
Montreallers who go about digging in
the mountains for Indian graves An
now they've let him out, of course he
ain't goin' back to a place where there
ain't no whisky. You Wt your lxiots
that's about the size of it," and Bar
ney, absently taking a plug of his
n ighlnir's tobacco, went iut into the
nirht.
It was a lovely summer night. The
air was tilled with dancing fin-Hies,
w eaving and v hiding in and out the
long grass, and waylaying one another
in the whispering leaves of bushes. Iu
and out. their little lamps went flick
ering through the night in such heed
less, happy merriment that Barney
stopped to look at them. All the World
was full of fireflies. He seemed to be
treading on lliein. and with drunken
gravity began to lift his feet high not
to crush their little lives out. At this
moment a bigger light gleamed up W
fore liim in l he distance. It seemed to
be an enormous tireUy beckoning him
on through the village and into the
cool languorous depths of the summer
night. Close by "the river wandered
at its own .sweet will." Only the voices
of the raftsmen, as they made for the
falls, broke the stillness. Barney
pulled up and listened to them.
"Thet's so." he said, with drunken
gravity. "I reckon you've aliout fixed
it Row. brothers row, the stream runs
fa.t. The tiretlies are no, that's
wrong. That's wrong, Barney. 1 say
it's wrong. If you don't believe me,
catch one and ask him."
He set oif iu a sidelong kind of run.
sat down on not huc-iess. and sudden
ly collapsed in the middle of the road.
"I've got you," he said in triumph to
au imaginary firelly. "Excuse me sit
tin' on you, but you are such slippery
little crittnrs. You've only got to pog
gleise. an" I'll git."
The lirelly didn't apologize, for the
simple reason that it was a hundred
yards away. This suddenly dawned
iimii Barney, and he followed it
through the long grass.
The ripple of the flowing tide sounded
more loudly iu his ears, and insensibly
drew him to the river shore. Right out
on the point, the big firefly glowed
steadily but not like the others. It
was a fixed light. When the others
closed their tiny wings the lights dis
appeared, but this monstrous tireHy
was visible all the time.
Barney followed on, keeping in the
shadows of the willows which fringed
the shore. He didn't want to go on.
but some irresistible power iuiM-lle.l
him to do so. , Suddenly he found him
self w ithin twenty yards of the oint.
and sober!
He slunk down Whind the bushes iu
am-.izeiuc lit. for the firefly which he
bad followed was the light of Injun
Joe's camp tire, and Injun Joe was
there: but not the Injun Joe the laugh
and scorn and mock of the village, but
t Mother being altogether a full
blooded brave in his war paint, with
tomahawk and ritle by his side, and
his copper-colored cheeks glowing iu
the lirelight with Vermillion. A long
sealpl.K-U hung from his shaven crown.
"Oosh, what's this?" said the per
plexed Barney. "The boys will think
I'm dreaming!"
The I ndiaii did not stir or give one
sign of life. He looked across the
river at the long range of the Laureu
tian hills, as if marking the dai k
sweep of the pines which crested their
summits. He seemed to be waiting.
Barney crept a little nearer.
Suddenly a birch bark canoe shot out
from a little island in the middle of the
river and glided noiselessly through
t he night. It was pa Idled by a squaw,
she was clad in deerskin, and a tixiue
of ea-fle feathers rose from her long,
lowing tresses.
"Come, my white brother, come,"
said Injun Joe. without looking
around. "Lelota waits."
Barney came forward with an mi
ea.y laugh. "I reckon, old Fenni
more Cooper, you'll have the judge
down on you if you're up to any of
your larks."
"Come," said Injun Joe. gravely,
and Barney stepped into the canoe,
which sank nearly to the waters edge.
The squaw paddled noiselessly, with
swift, rapid strokes, across the river
until they reached the opposite shore.
They got out and Waehed the canoe.
""Come." said Injun Joe, leading the
way. and Barney, humoring the joke,
fell into single file.
They went on through the dark
night, treading upon the noiseless
ii.-e.U.- . of the pines. The tioughs Wnt
down and hid the moon. Barney be
gan to shiver. Was it a phantom in
front of him, or only a druuken Iro
quoisbent upon some mad folly inspired
by whisky?
Presently they Wgan to climb the
mountainside. Injun Joe went in frout j
with catlike activity. Barney Wgau
to feel blown, but followe.1 his guide
until they emerged into a little glade
or clearing eutirely free from pines,
and covered with a short, smooth turf.
i The moon sailed overhead, an owl cast
a slanting shadow on the grass as it
swept up into the light. In the center
81. SO and
of the glade was another camp fire, and
arounu tnis were sitting four Indian
braves. Paint, scalp locks, weapons
all were there. A little to one side of
the fire was a post sunk in the ground.
It was chipped and scarred and stained
with dark streaks. Could they W blood?
Barney turned to flee, but he felt
that he was covered. "I didn't count
on thisyere picnic, gents," he said, with
reckless effrontery. "MebW you're
reckouin' on a war dance? I'm not
the one to spoil fun. ISo ahead "
They went ahead in a most un
pleasant manner. Barney was dragged
to tiie post, and tied to it with deer
skin thongs iu a sitting posture. The
Indians resumed their seats around
the tire. Barney took out his pipe,
and tiegan to smoke. A grunt of ap
proval went up from the grisly forms
by the tire.
"I kin wait if you kin, gentlemen,"
said Barney, his blue eyes dancing
with fun. "MebW you'll make up
your minds what you're goin to do
with me."
The squaw appeared with a little
birch basket, and each Indian cast a
black Wan into it.
"Say him prayer to Manitou," said
Injun Joe, '"him come heap soon." He
touched the handle of his tomahawk
in a suflicieutly grim manner to be un
pleasant. It suddenly occurred to Barney that
it wasn't a joke, and a cold shiver ran
down his spine.
Injun Joe watched him keenly.
"Where French Lefebre?" he said.
"Oot him scalp." He produced a hand
ful of black hair, clotted with blood.
It was incredible! Barney remem
Wred that French Lefebre had sud
denly disappeared some months ago,
but as everyone supposed he had gone
into the lumWr camps no one but his
creditors took any interest in the mat
ter, or ass.K-iated his departure with
the half dozen or so of miserable In
dians who lingered out their lives in
holes and corners of the Ottawa val
ley. Barney had often bought bas
kets from the squaw, and once when
the lioys tried to stone her, he had cov
ered her body with his own. There
was still a scar on his cheek from the
blow of a stone which one young ras
cal had tlung at him. French Lefebre
had once struck this very woman, who
was still young and good-looking.
Was it Hssible that these remnants of
their race had met to aveuire their
wrongs? No one would even dream of
such a thing. They would doff their
paint ami go slouching about in their
usual noiseless manner, and ensnare
fresh victims. And there was the
judge's daughter, too!
"Oot to say, say him quick," said In
jun Joe. fingering his knife with an
artistic precision which was not nice
to witness.
"I reckon if you've made up your
minds, gentlemen," said Barney, '"it's
no use my spoiliu' this yere funeral."
Injun Joe sprang at him with the
knife, and Barney thought of the
judge's daughter and said a little
prayer. If he had to go under to aveiigw
the wrongs of this last remnant of
their race it was no use attempting to
argue the matter w hen they held all
the cards.
Injun Joe made a slight gash in Bar
ney's arm and drew back. The other
four Indians did the same. Then, the
woman came forward, bound up his
arm and cut him loose.
Barney continued smwking with un
disturWd gravity. It had all flashed
upon him in a second. This was the
Indian method of showing apprecia
tion of the way in which he had saved
the squaw. He had become a blood
brother of the last of the Irmpaois. He
wondered if they would exjiecl him to
sell Indian toys in Moose valley or to
shoot at (he was sure to miss them)
five cent pieces with arrows.
"Him heap brave." said Injun Je.
with a painful disregard of Feiiimore
Cooper's studied and grammatical
phrases. "Him heap brave. Him
white man."
"An the show is over?" asked Bar
ney, stretching himself. The others
hail disappeared. Only Indian Joe and
the squaw remained. They fell into
Indian tile and marched down to the
Wach, through the long somWr ranks
of the pines. Theii they entered into
the little canoe aud paddled up to the
Point.
Barney met Injun Joe in the village
next day. That worthy was loafing
round with a string of fish, ltarney
thought he must have Wen dreaming
and that it would W Wtter to avoid
1 lav is' pain killer as a stimulant in fu
ture. It was a little too powerful in
its after effects. But as he sat on the
veranda that evening with the judge's
daughter, she gave a little shriek and
turned white.
"Seen a mouse?" asked Barney, try
ing to reassure her.
"Your sleeve is slashed, and there is
blood ou it," she said. "Barnej",
Barney, you have Wen quarreling
again."
"1 sorter rememWr fallin off the
woodpile." said Barney, with unblush
ing mendacity. "1 reckon it shook me
up, an" I'll go early to-night."
'"Curious folk, wimmeu are." mused
Barney, as he wended his way iu the
direction of the Point. "She'd never
believe I'm au Iroquois brave if I
talked for a mouth. She'd say it was
all that Painkiller."
Injun Joe was sitting by his fire,
making nets. "Why does my red
brother toil for the paleface?" said
Barney, calling up recollections of
Oeerslajer, etc. "He is a squaw a
cattish." Igh!"
Injun Joe's sphinx-like face gleamed
faintly for a moment at the word
"brother." Then he went on quietly
making his nets. But French Lefebre
was never seen again. O. B. Burgin,

The Romantic Tale of a Veteran

"When I was a man of thirty." re
marked a gray-haired three-seore-and-teuitarian
after the drummer had fin

"I could shuffle the pastelxiard--pret t y
fairly myself, and it was only the vet

they were usually sorry for it after

then." he smiled softly, " and made
most of my living selling gr.x-eries in
the south and west for a Baltimore
house. I did the large tow nsas a rule,

places, and I made it my
business to cultivate them and get
around to see them at least twice a
year. Among them was a merchant in
Mississippi, an I he had a dau - liter w ho

she wasn't wasting her affection on a

her from ihe man sh would jHTsist in

some fellow and one whose manners
were fascinating. mt only to women,
but to men. W ith all his natural abil
ity, however, and attractiveness, he
was utterly worthless; a hard drinker,
a brawler, a vindictive wretch and a
notorious gambler. These qualities of
the man were well know n iu that l.x-ali-ty

dowu the river he wa know n on every

and his success. He was the oungest
Sou of a prominent and highly resjx-c-table

of character.
"Whatever it was, there was no

infatuated with him, and finally she
eloped with him. Tins act of hers
broke her father's heart au.l w itliin a
year he had died, leaving no propcrtv
whatever, nor any family, as tin girl
was the only child and her mother had

sence of any property which might !

affect her seriously, as her husband

the death of the father and the mar

I lost track of the neighborhood and
its doings for five years. Then I was
called there on business and when I
stopped at the only tavern in the little
village 1 was more than surprised to
find that it was kept by my former
rival, whom, by the way. 1 shall call
Jackson. He did not know me and 1
don't suppose it would have made much
differeii'"e if he had. for with all his
faults he was not a jealous man. Well.
I kept my identity pretty much
in the background aud made up my
niiinl to see how the marriage had
turned out I got an inkling of it the
very first night, w lieu Jackson came in
just drunk enough to W ugly. He had
changed much iu the five years, and
from Wing the handsome fellow he
once was. he had W-coine bloated, and
all the bad streaks in him seemed to
have settled in his face. His wife I
had not seeu. up to the time of his ap
pearance in the evening. 1 was sitting
in what passed for au office and he was
there curbing a stable-lxyy. After he
had finished w ith the boy he called his
wife from the kitchen where she was
at work, and when she came in
frightened out of her wits, as I could
plainly see, I never would have known
her. She was thin and ale and Ix.rc
every evidence of having received the
most cruel treatment. I wasslnx-ketl
Wyoud expression, aud it was not
allayed by the way he talked to her
and ordered her around, once even
giving her a jerk by the arm that
brought a cry of pain from her and
came almost getting me into the
scrap. I kept still, however, and
waited, and that night he grew so
Ugly that she called in one of her
neighbors to serve as a kiud of protec
tion. "The next day he was no Wtter, but
he went off and did not return until
late. During the day she hail a chance
to see me and at once recognized me.
Whether she was glad or sorry I don't
know, but she broke down and had a
nervous fit of crying for half an hour,
and 1 got away until she recovered.
When 1 saw her again she was quite
calm, aud for two hours she talked to
me of her terrible condition, lie had
beeti all tilings to her a man should

had Waten her aud starved her and
made her work like a slave, aud once

in a dark nx.m on bread and water for
a month. There was no place for her
to go iu the neigh Wrli.Hxl, and he
never gave her a cent of money, so
that sh might have gone to some dis

afraid to appeal to the public for help
and she was slowly Wing tortured to
death. Fortunately she had never had
any children.

could W done without making her con
dition any worse. I then Ix-gan de
vising ways and means of getting the
rxtor woman out of this hell 011 earth,
and by night I had my plans ready for
trial. When Jackson came in that
evening he was in Wtter humor, hav
ing won some money on a horse race,
and he was not quite so ugly drunk as
he had Wen. lie was drunker, ix-r-haps.
tint it was not such a mean drunk
as lx-fore. After supper I engaged him
in talk, and along aix.ut nine o'cl.x-lc
I proposed a game of jxker. It struck
him just right, and we adjourned to a
rix.m upstairs with a couple of law
yers and a judge who were stopping
there over night, and the game lx-gan.
At lirst Jackson won right along, and
as he won he drank, calling every now
and then for his wife to bring hi 111
more liquor, and whenever she came
into the r.xun and saw me the hx.k
she gave me almost made me kick over
the table and tight the whole crowd.
However, that was not my game, and
1 let on to her and the rest of them
that I was alxitit as drunk as Jackson
was; but I wasn't.
"At midnight we had reached the
climax. The two lawyers and the
judge had Wen raised out and Jackson
and I were left for the finish. 1 had four
nines, not a bad hand as hands went in
those days, and I had an idea that
Jackson hadn't anything to beat it. I
also had my w its aU.ut me an. f Jack
son hadn't, and I had live thousand
dollars in my p,K-ket, which Jackson
hadn't. 1 had U-eti blurting Hiv. the
mischief all through the game and
Jackson had caught me for a g.xxl lot
on my recklessness, but all he had was
on the table when the other three
passed out. That is all the money he
had. but he owned three g..J horses.
It was a game without a limit, as it
often was in those days, and w-heu I
put down two hundred he saw me to
the extent of one horse. Then 1 went
live hundred more and he went an
other horse: then 1 went another five
hundred and he went the third hor-..
Of course the man was wild now w ith
liquor and the excitement of the game,
and when I laid down a thousand
more he was dazeii for a minute. Just
then his wife came in, and with a
curse he ordered her out and was
about to throw- a bottle at her. She
hurried away with an apiM-aiing 1.x. k
at me, and Jackson sat stupidly gaz
ing at his hand and at the pile .f
money and contracts for horses 011 the
table, and he was sure I was I. lulling.
1 could sec that, but he didn't like to
take too much of a chance. Then all
at once a new thought seemed to c, ,111c
to him and he looked squarely intomy
face.
" "By the way." be said. you used to
know my w ife, didn't you?"
"1 nodded coolly, though somewhat
rattled at this unexpected recognition.
""And you used to W in love with
her," he went on.
"Again 1 tnxided.
" You wanted her once, he ventured
slowly, and I noddt-.l again.
" "By heavens." he exclaimed. "I'll put
her against what you have there. Is
i t a g. ,?'
"nee more I nodded.
" "t lent ieuien," I said to the judge
and the lawyers, "make a note of that.
If I win, the woman is mine to do as I
please with. Is that agreed?"
"Jackson assented with a string of
oaths, and the lawyers got his signa
ture to a contract todeliver his w ife to
me if the game went against hiia. or
words to that effect.
" "Now!" he said in a tone of sup
pressed feeling, "what have you got?"
""Very quietly, but with some litt'.e
fear that I might miss it at last. I laid
my four nines down 011 the table.
"Jacks., n linked at the cards a sec
ond, then. vith a hoars scream, he
slung his ow n hand all over the rxm
and dashed through the lixr. Fearing
that lie might mean harm to his wife
we went pell-mell after hiin. but he did
not stop anywhere. On he went out
into the night, and we lost him in the
darkness. I thought we might find
him next morning dead somewhere,
but we didn't. When we got back t.

whom I had explained the situation.
