There was a lit- tle gambler in ‘Frisco who used to deal it; Sandy Jackson was his name. He came, if 1 am hot mistaken, from somewhere in New En- gland. George Walton, the banker, wandered into his place ‘a little full’ one night, and, after looking around rather unsteadily for a moment, hand on Sandy's shoulder and said: andy, how much in the bank to-night?? “The other players turned to look at the new- comers handsome, intelligent, but rather dissi- pated looking face. Sandy took stock of his pile. It had been alucky night for him, ‘A sand ounces,” he replied ($16,000). ‘Will you take a tap, Sandy?’ asked the er. ndy seemed to study fora moment. He was evidently a little staggered at the reckless proposition.” The lights shone full on his ures (he was bare turned’ of 20), countless freckles, sandy hair, and little twinkling, ferret’s eyes. He fixed his eon the window so intently that his eyes emed to pierce the panes and the darkneas be- yond to seek some far-away object: his hands opened and shut nervous Suddenly the lines tened; he leaned back in his chair, and, turning his face to look up at Walton, uttered the one word, ‘Yes.’ “The banker seemed a little surprised. He evidently did not think his offer would be ac- cepted. Still he too proud and too game a man to weaken now o he walked over to a side table, and, drawing a blank check from his pocketbook, filled it in tor the amount named, scribbled his name at the bottom, and tossed It over to Sandy withthe remar! that alright?" “Sandy glanced at it. ‘All right, I guess,’ he muttered; ‘does it go?” “The banker nodded. The gamblers at the other tables stopped playing and clustered around this one to see the result. In Monte the first eard shown Is for the dealer, the second for the player. Sandy turned up two—the first was a queen, the second a nine. Which- first now would win. Sandy placed them next each other a few inches apart.

Ten, deuce, eight, four, ace, a dozen or more eards had been shown when andy’ paused: the card beneath the one he was pulling had a thin layer of color along its edge—it must be a face card; but was ita queen, or only a jack or a king? “Sandy paused, and, taking his handkerchlef out of his pocket, passed it lightly over his face, and then replaced It. Again he pressed his fin ger against. the bottom card, and, as it slowly yielded, a hoarse voice behind Sandy’s chair called out: iB «A queen, by—! andy’s face was the color of ashes, but all he said w . leave for the states in the mornin’.’ “Then he picked up the check, and, folding It up carefully, placed it in an enormous red mo- Tocco pocketbook. ‘Game's closed forto-night,’ he remarked, in answer to a question. ‘Come, boys, let's go to the Belle of the West, and Pl set up the wine for the crowd.’ “As the boys filed down the creaking stalr- one very old, white-halred gambler whis- d to another, loud enough for me to hear: “The sickest I ever see.

Never sit facing it. It is best that the See that the light is light should fall upon the work from above or behind. Failing this, it may fall from the side. Neyer use the eyes at twilight. Any artificial light for the evening is good if it be brilliant enough and steady. Reading while riding in any conveyance should be avoided; it requires too great an exertion of the accommodative power to keep the eyes fixed on the letters. Neverread when lying down; it is too fatiguing for the accommodative power. Many a tedious case of weak sight has been traced to the per- nicious habit of reading in bed after retiring for the night.” He Got an Ordet. From the Chicago Herald.
