Now raise one stockingless foot, and point the toe down, contracting every muscle of the foot as much as possible. Relax the foot; contract, and point down; relax, contract. Do this ten times, then change to the left foot and re- peat. This is merely reversing the actlons of the day, in an actempt to minimize the spreading and conse- quent weakening of the arches which the day’s work has entailed. Next, exercise the toes. Resting the right heel on the ground, lift the rest of the foot and work the toes up | and down vigorously and quickly, un- til you are conscious of a sensation of fatigue in the sole of your foot. Do the same with the left foot. Rest a few minutes, and then take this spe- clal exercise for strengthening the arches of the feet. Standing erect, head up, chest out, arms hanging loosely at side, heels to- gether and toes slightly turned out, rise slowly on the toes until the heels are as far from the floor as you can Hft them. Sink slowly to the floor again. Rise on toes again, sink to floor, and continue for five minutes, or until you feel an active sense of fatigue. Be sure to inhale while ris- ing on toes, and to exhale while drop- ping heels to floor again.

Not many persons know of Baymond and have acquaintance with fts greatness. It is mot important as 8 commercial or an agricultural center, put it is remembered, especially among e scéne of one of the strangest games of poker that ever was played. A telegraph operator named Stevens put Haymond on the map some 25 years ago. Stevens had worked in Old Mexico on the construction of the Ferrocarril Central Mexicano, when former Governor Anthony of Kansas was general superintendent of that property. He had been all through New Mexico and had worked at Las Lunas, San Marcial, Ysleta, and other places. He was a i class operator, but his efficiency was impaired by his fondness for poker. At Ysleta, for instance, he almost brought on an Indian uprising one night by winnin sessed by the peaceful Pueblos. was bounced from one road and from one station to another; but good op- erators were hard to find in those days, g all the coin pos- | He | and he was employed again and again despite he failing. One morning he awoke in El Paso with empty pockets. He was as good a poker player as he was telegraph operator, but faro bank always was his undoing. He struck the dispatcher of the Galveston, Harrisburg and San Antonio for a job, and was sent to Haymond.

Apperently they had the aggregate capital of all their | cdmpanions, and I could see that I was 'likely to be cleaped out in the end. But, as & man once said, ‘The next greatest pleasure to winning money at cards is to lose it, and so I stuck. I was down to my original $80 when 1 drew three queens on the deal, but did not improve them on the draw. Still, they looked good. Again I had my Chinese friend as my sole opponent. It was his bet, and he pushed forward $50. I wae fingering my gold pieces when I heard the muffled message in Morse again: dot-dash-dot, dot dot, dot-dot-dash, dot dot-dot, dot-dot-dot, dot-dot, dot-dash-dot-dash “Four six. *'That means to keep out,’ I said to myself. The hunch was a good one. I laid down. It was my deal, and I looked at the cards. Four sixes. “I was about $150 to the good when a jack pot came along. I opened it with a padr of jacks and drew a third. [ bet them as if I had half a dozen, and the second chink dropped out, leaving my old Chinese friend. He raised me the size of my pile, and I was studying what to do when I heard the muffled code again: dash, dot-dash-dash, dot dot, dot dot, dash-dot, dot. “Two one. “I shoved over the ten and called. In the section house lived some 30 mo o oaact Chinamen whose overlord was an Irish | toreman. Half a hundred miles was the Rio Grande and to the north- west the Sierra Madres. The desert stretched between. There was one passenger train a day and an occa- slonal freight. The nearest statlon | was 40 miles distant. Stevens and the section foreman bunked in the box car that did service as a station. It was very dull the first month. Stevens mourned for the galety of Las Lunas, Ysleta, Albu- querque, and El Paso, and waited for pay day. When the pay car arrived and Ste- vens recelved his $80 in gold the China- men found an interest in him. Ste- vens found an interest in them also.

It was a duel between the white and the yellow hope. We did not play real poker. I bluffed and the Chinaman bluffed; but I did it a bit better, and I kept on winning. The last bag of gold was on the table be- fore the Chinaman. I had forgotten about the Morse messages. “He dealt. I had a pair of kings. I bet about $2,000 or some such trifle I took three cards The Chinaman took three also, and bet half a dozen stacks of double eagles. I went back and ralsed him. He came back at me with two or three pounds of gold coin, and as I skinned my cards I heard the Morse again: dash, dot-dot-dot-dot, dot dot-dot, dot, dot, dot dot, dash-dot, dot “Three one. “The instant the sound caught my ear | shoved the size of his pile on the table—we were playing table- stakes.

We got over to the box car safely, Pete acting as rear guard, growling savagely, and showing his teeth all the way. “We sat down and Pete jumped up on the telegraph table. He sat on his haunches with an open-mouthed grin, and his stubby tail pounded against the boards. It was still outside, and my ears caught the muffled Morse again.
