C2000 2 Wilson, ‘Thomas, and Wilson, ‘Thoma: Wood, ‘Edgar W Young, William A A GIRLS LUCK AT POoK What Happened When Four Aces With §2,000 in the From the New York Sun. “There have been many interesting stories told about the game of poker,” said the man who traveled for his health, as he cleared his throat and joined the drummers in the smoking compartment, “but I have never yet heard an anecgote of the nas tional game that equals the one I am about to tell you. Most poker stories have from one to three professional card sharpers in them, six or seven marked decks of paste- boards, a rich cotton planter or country- man for a sucker, and always revolvers and bowie knives concealed in belts or pockets and ready to take their part at any moment in opening a jack pot, if the occs sion demands their assistance. In story of mine all these elements are Ia ing. There were only two players in the game and they were both gentlemen. The amount of money at stake was something like $2,000, and as one of the play had only his share of that sum between him and starvation, it goes without saying that he was mightily interested in the deciding hand. “It was a rather long voyage from New York to Rio Janeiro on the old Brazilian line, and there were only nine passengers in the first cabin on the boat when the game came off. I was one of them. Among the others were a pale, delicate and y rervous young man, who was by his sister, and a'stolid, phie vidual of about fifty years of a five days before we reached Rit y got to playing freeze-out in the smoking cabin. Of course, the game started with dollar stacks, just to pass away the time, but as the nervous young man lost steadily he wanted a chance to get even, and they de- led on a $10 limit. Now, as you all know, a lot of coin can go across the table in a $10-limit_ game if the cards keep running the wrong way; and if ever a man played in hard luck at cards it was the youn: of those two travelers. No matter what he held the stolid man beat him by a spot or two, and the worst of it was that his hands were too good to lay down. He had a queen full beaten by four fours, and a king high flush of spades by > high flush of diamonds. It didn’t seem to be natural that cards could run that way in a straight game, but they did. The last night out from Rio the nervous young man w $1,000 in the hole, and still the game was as honest as if played by two Sunday school childreh. A crisis is sure to come sooner-or later in a session of this kind at poker, and it came that night about 12 o'clock. Jack pots are usually responsible for trouble in this sort of thing, and nobody was surprised t one started at and creep up and up deal after deal, until all the checks were in the middle of the table, and still the nervous young man: nor his stoliv panion could get a pair of J thing better. The smoking was up on the hurricane deck, and about the pleas- antest place in the whole ship on those de- lightful tropical nights. y one of the cabin passengers was inside watching the game, but not one knew just what a state of anxiety that nervous young man was in except his sister, and she was just about as wrought up as he was. > would have been more so, probably, if she had known that the roll of bills which he now pulled from his pocket contained all the money he had in the world. The stolid individual also produced a wallet filled with bank notes, and laid it in front of him on the table. ‘I can’t open it.’ ‘Nor L’ ‘I can’t.” ‘I pass.” ‘I pass,’ kept coming from the lps of the players at regular intervals, until the checks and money almost hid the litde table from view, and still nobody could open that pot. “I suppose they must have been at it for fifteen minutes or perhaps a little longer, but it seemed like an age, and everybody was breathing hard and staring at the cards as though life and death for the « tire passenger list hung in th everybody except the stolid man, and he was as cool as the conventional cucumber and seemed to be perfectly indifferent whether or not all the money should be swallowed up in that §; ly the young man rose from the his opponent's deal. “There's luck in a new player, heard,’ he said. ‘If you've no obje deal this hand to my sister.” “ ‘Certainly,’ replied the stolid individual, and the young girl, her face flushed wit excitement, took her brother's sea’ shall ‘never to my dying day forget that moment. One by one, in the manner of a school girl in the parlor at home, the young lady picked up her cards and held them so that her brother, who stood direct~ ly behind her chair, and everybody near by could distinctly see them. The first card Was an ace, the second was an ace, the third was a queen, the fourth an ace, and the fifth an ace. Four aces and a queen, and a thousand dollars in the pot! ‘Oper it,” whispered the nervous man, ‘and play it for all the money.” She opened the pot for ten dollars, and the stolid individual promptiy raised her ten. He was raised in return, and the nervous man suggested that the limit be taken off. The proposition was accepted, and in Jess time than it takes to tell it all of the nervous man’s money, amounting to something like a thousand dollars, was in the center of the table, to- gether with an equal amount of his oppo- rent’s cash. ‘ards, if any?’ politely asked the deal- the same instant the young lady, throwing her aces exposed on the tabi answered ‘Four.’ Quicker than a flash of lightning four cards off the top of the »ack lay in front of her. “I shall never forget the way that ner- vous young man said ‘Oh!’ as, pale and trembling, he staggered toward the door for air. The word, or groan or gasp, which- ever it may be called, seemed to express cn agony that few men would wish to iive through more than once. I know it to be a fact that he has never touched a card from that day to this. No! and what is more, I am confident that he never will. But wai a minute; you haven't heard the end of the story. Of course, the young lady had to take the four cards she nad called fer. She said that in the excitement she had gat the game mixed up with old maid, and as the aces matched of course she had to discard them. This left her with the queen, end she seemed to fee! dreadfully for a moment for fear she would be an old maid. When she had finished explaining and quit play- ing girl games, and realized what she had done, she picked up the four cards that had been dealt to her and turned them over, There were three more queens among themi “The stolid individual held a small full and politely passed the money to her. Then she went out on deck to find her brother. I could hardly believe it until she handed him the money, and I suppose you are hav- ing the same difficulty.” And then the porter was called and the pidest drummer told him to take the orders, Ive tioa,
