CORONATION. Scenting a garden rare ar.d sweet I turned amazed its wealth to meet, With color glory ail ablaze, And soft tints lighting hidden sprays. Whence came this miracle of grace Where only barrenness had place? Who wrought this wonder from the ground* Whose guerdon lavished It around? The gardener is a woman frail, Her arm is weak, hor face Is pale- She spake, uplifting thoughtful eyes: •It brings to me, as you, surprise. "Naught had I that was rich or fine. Only the drudgery was mine, The weary tolling In the mold, In wet and dry, In heat and cold. "Heaven sent the rest, no work Is lost; Through drought or flood, or tire or frost, In midnight gloom or dreary day The crown divine shall speed Its way " •Elizabeth A. Hlood, in Springfield (Mass.) Republican. i *Agf# ' [Copyright, ISO 4, by Madge Robertson.] There hail been the usual run of stories about the catupfire, when the lawyer spoke. It was a lute full camp. Hunter's yarns had run riot. Inventions had become exhausted. "1 am no sportsman," he observed, "but I have had some fun occasionally, when I was younger." In a second he had the usual close at tention accorded to the quiet man who unexpectedly becomes talkative. After a moment, some one's pipe went out and stayed out. "It was back twenty years ago. I was practicing in C , in northern Ontario, where clients were scarce and poor as myself, and where a law prac tice took i.no out collecting rents from farmhouses ten miles apart, by roads terrifically rough—one wheel up a bowlder, the other down In a rut. "The county towns adjacent are Owen Sound and liarrie. Several times a year I went to both places on circuit Owen Sound was a pretty wild place in those days; plenty of young English men spending the quarterly allowance they got from home the first week it arrived, and plenty of young fellows in banks and law offices trying to keep up their end with much less money. Slirieber liolton. of Burrie, and myself usually went every three months or so to the Sound together. We knew all the men about town and always count ed on a fairly good lime while court was in session. "On one occasion we reached Owen Bound pretty well played out. We had had to stage it from Mcuford, twenty four miles. So, when the first day's work was over, we refused all invita tions and settled down after dinner to u quiet smoke at our hotel. "However, about nine o'clock some chaps came along and fairly routed us out. There were Merrill, teller in one of the bunks, and Arnold, the son of a wealthy brewer, both well-known young fellows in the place, and whom wo had met frequently before. They would not take any refusal. Go to Diuny Dinoon's we must, before the night was over; we were only there once in a three-month, and so on. Dinny kept a saloon with cardrooms and billiards in a decent enough part of the town, and we hail been at Din ny's before. *'There were drinlcs, of course, and billiards, I think. Presently some one said cards. We tried to Ret out of the game. Uolton played very little and never for money, and 1 did not care to play that night even for small stakes. Put it was no use. and the upshot was that we soon found ourselves in a small upstairs room, with a bottle or two, and the prospects of a night's play before us. A chap named I locking, a law student, had joined us at the bar, and there were five of us in the game. 1 was hideously sleepy, but when some one suggested 100, I jumped. As some of you know, unlimited 100 is the tliievingest game going, and I retained lively recollections of the wickedness thereof. "Years before, when a line of boats played between C and Chicago, the captains found themselves in C two or three days out of each week; there was tall playing, and 100 was the •game. Well, in those days 1 had played JfhNl "I EXAMINED MY CARDS." a good deal for a youngster, but I had. at the time of which bspeak, forgotten the game entirely. As for llolton, as he subsequently told me, the only thing he knew of 100 at all was a providential bit of advice he got years before from an old uncle, to the effect that there WBG only two ways to play 100. One was to take the 'missy' (that is, girls, the two or three cards left over which the person next the dealer has the privilege of substituting for his own hand) every time, and the other was to leave it every time. So llolton left it alone every time and played along tranquilly, standing, to be not much out or in when the game was over. "I saw that a low limit was fixed, a forty-five cent one, and we Btarted it After a bit it all came back to me, but I lost and gained about evenly. After a little some one bent a card accident* ally, and a new pack was called for. Diuny brought in the fresh cards still in their unopened wrapper. Well, the minute 1 laid eyes on the cards a horri ble suspicion seized me—horrible when you consider that we were all friends playing together—and, as opportunity offered, I carefully examined iny cards, j "A long time before 1 had found it necessary, during a lawsuit, to study j thoroughly the systems of marking ! cards. There are several of these, anil when you have mastered the en it is au easy matter to spot marked cards any where. So I knew for a dead certaiuty that I could detect the cheat, if there was one, and somehow, in spite of re j pugnance to believe it, I felt suspicious of the new pack. So I waited a mo ment until I got two kings together and j compared them. There was no doubt I of it, the cards were marked! "Naturally I was very angry; and my i first impulse was to dash down the j cards and denounce the players. When J I thought of the situation, we two young chaps decoyed in there to be cheated out of the little money we had j by young fellows like ourselves, whom we met socially and frequently, whom we had entertained in our own towns— I almost boiled over. Such a dastardly bit of business! lam furious yet when I think of it. "However, I took a few minutes to think over the matter, and presently a beautiful scheme of vengeance dawned upon me. I set out to find out the system on which this particular ' pack was marked. It was obviously a very simple one, and I knew that the minute 1 got on to it I could tell every card in the pack. The two kings had j each a petal off the rose in the left* | hand corner on the back. As soon as 1 got two queens together I examined i them and found that each had two j petals off the same rose. Then I was dead on to the system and there prom ised to be some fun ahead I knew every card in the pack and the others were of course ignorant of my knowl edge. "The situation was pregnant. Here was Ilolton, who was gently keeping out of it, and to whom, therefore, it was unnecessary to convey any warn* : ng; hero were three young rascals de | ! | I W'• ifei I -J IM ij ..'jW' * IN PAROXYSMS OK LAI OUTKR. liberatedy laying themselves out and setting up a game to fleece two inno cent comrades; and here was I, know ing the whole trick beforehand, and fully prepared with the biggest sort of revenge. "The point was this: Whenever they dealt, they know of course every card in iny hand and in the 'missy' and so did I in their hands and in t'.e 'missy;' but what they did not know was, that I knew. So when I had the best hand I went in, and when one of them coul 1 beat me I simply stayed out. There wc re always two of them in, of course, one to decoy me; so 1 stood to win every time. "And when I dealt I took cure that they should see neither my hand nor the 'missy.' Consequently 1 knew all their curds ami they only knew each other's and the game was entirely in my own hands. 1 had a dead sure thing. If you had seen those men look at cocli other! I was not to be bluffed oqt or lured in unless the cards war ranted it and I won straight along of course. I had them hard and fast; they were helpless and could not understand it at all. Side-glances of inquiry be came open astonishment and length ened, with their faces, into pure dis may. They were the most sold men 1 ever saw, yet not daring to stop, and uncertainly fearful of me. Hats in a trap were enfranchised citizens com pared to them. They could do abso lutely nothing but play on and lose their money. It was their suggestion, you see, their cards and their own set up game It was fun, I tell you. "Well, along about midnight, Arnold was strapped, and borrowed of I lock ing, and by four in the morning they were all cleaned out and 1 had Merrill's I O U for forty dollars. "Next morning I woke up Uolton early and told him. He was in bed and rolled off in helpless paroxysms of laughter about the floor. He had seen the whole thing of course far bet ter than I had and he simply rushed back to Uarrie to tell the story. He was a capital story teller and for years afterward my appearance in Uarrie was the signal among a certain sat for pro longed laughter. "Uolton would not share upand took only his own money back. Merrill came around the next morning and paid up the forty dollars. 1 left Owen Sound that night and never saw uny of the three again." "You don't mean to say you ncvei told them!" exclaimed- the lawyer's daughter. "Not much! far better joke as it was." "Oh! good gracious!" she ejaculated gaspingly. "Think of keeping it!" Her father laughed. "I opect they are like the man who was If'lied by lightning, still wonder ing what struck them," he said Tlin fire burned low as one pipe after another was slipped into the pockets of rough serge coats and soon candles glimmered out of the tent cracks. —"Did Maud ever settle the score sho had against Mr. FlimseyV" "Yes; she promised to marry him and then let I him know she'd lost her entire for tuqa"—lnter Ocean.
