On this particular night Walton had aeached the bottom of his purse and was desper well as food. Hunger tempts many wmen to crime, and Walton found a young planter who possessed a pas- sion for gambling and tho means te gratify it. Not daring to trust to cards, which, it is said, never run in favor of hungry men, Walton propos- ed a game in which “skill” counted for nothing. The game then intro- duced was similar to the ¢ three-card-monte trick, only of cards a small wad of paper was used. Three cups were breught from the kitchen,and the paper ball, not larger than a pea, was placed betore them on the table. Walton turned the cups over, and he, shifting them rapidly from place to place, covered and uncovered the paper with confus- ing rapidity, and finally wagered §50 that the young planter could not tell what cup the ball of paper was under. The wager was quickly taken and as quickly lost. The trick was played again and again, until the victim had lost all he had. The success of the gambler was simply a matter of sleight- of-hand. As the small ball of paper was covered for the last time Walton picked 1t up by pressing it under a finger nail. The planter raised the cup where it should have been, and the wager was lost; but the gambler, to §urther the deception, promptly lifted one of the two remaining cups, scraping off the ball of paper as he did 80, leaving it on the table as the cup was lifted from it. When the planter had done Walton asked for newcomers to bet. Wyman nad never gambled in his life, but here was an occagion to him which made the loss of refusing seem greater than the sin of accepting. Besides, he believed that the young planter had been deceived by deliber- ate trickery. When he had lost £100 himsolf he was sure of it, ‘‘Here is the paper,” said Walton, raising one of the cups with a smile. The gambler had made £300 within the hour, the prospect of needed refaeshments opened before though cheating in a gambler’s sense, he had resorted to it with reluctance. t gain, { he shifting rapidly before Wyman, the enps “Now you see it plainly enovgh, and now"—setting two of the cups down with a bang—*‘you dont.” Wyman, in the meantime, fiad torn a bit of paper from a newspaper, relled it up com- pactly like the other, and ‘“‘palming it,” quietly slipped it under n cup as he raised 1t from the table, The most surprised person in the room was Walton himself. He regarded the wizard with a look in which wonder and alarm w mingled. He could not help admiring the other’s trick, but to expose it was to expose his owng The stake was again made and again lost, as it had been before, “Inever played this before,” said Professor Wyman, “‘and it's a good game if you don't become too fond of it. I don't suppose I've played a game for amusement for years, I think a little recreation like this is a good thing once in a while in that way. 1have the advantage of you, who cannot make a recreation of what you do as a regular business. I sup- pose you play this every day,” he con- tinucd simply as he drew the stake from the gambler, Walton wiped his forehead, and did not feel that he was by any means too accustomed to the sort of amuse- ment he was then undergoing, and signified that his capacity for enjoy- ment ot that kind had not been im- paired by use, The next turn in affairs showed the professor’s consummate skill both in observation and practice, The gam- bler in moving the cups, left for the first timo the ball of paper, which he had hitherto had all to himself, under one of them. But Wyman's percep- tion had not been blunted by success; it was impossible to deceive him sim- ple sleight-of-hand, and he promptl raised the right cup, keeping the mxtK ball of paper that he had prepared in reserve. Walton, who had contem- plated an exposure of his adversary, was now awed into an admiration of his skill. The professor soon with- drew from the game altogether, Later in the evening the gambler took a nevice into his care to retrieve the fortune that Wyman had won, It rately in want of money as | | toud taypy | house the drum was suspended carels an insulated wire. The other en the appliance was an ordinary te graph operator’s instrument on the stage. The spectators asked questions, Wyman tapped the insttument with his foot, and the drum respor The whole, arra was an invention of his. Profe Wyman used to say that Hermaun lacked ingenuity and varfety, and that feller's great charm lay in his conver- sation. The Intter was, however, alumsy with his hands, strange as it may seem., ¢ CAUGHT AT LAST. Attempt to Arrest a Man Who Lived on a State Boundary Line. - Philadelphia Times, i Just across the Delaware er, from Matamoras, Pa., lived Blandina Elting and her brother Philip. They live alone in a large house which stands on the state line/ one-half be- mg in New York and the remainder in New Jersey. Blandina won fame unto herself by captuving a burglar not long ago. About’a year ago a team of horses belonging to Philip, while being driven ‘by a hired man, ran over a poor laboring man named Stroker, inflicting serious injuries. He was confined to his.house for some time, and his motherless children be- came objects of charity. Philip was appealed to for relief. He was a wealthy man, but would render no as- sistance, Not long ago a suit for damages was commenced by Stroker against Elting, and judgement of $629 and costs, ag- gregating about $800, was given the poor man, An execution was lissued and the trouble begun Under the Now York strto laws the plaintiff is anthorized to examine a judgment debtor to sco w property he has and aid the sheriff in making a lev Last May an order or summons upon Elting was issued, but could not be served, The man kept on the Jers part of his farm c and, despite all efforts, the servico was not made, though numerous pars ties tried it. The work was finally accomplished by a woman, M Francis Lewis, who went to Elting to buy butter-milk, while there - Phillip came in and she forthwith served the sum- mons, That was on the 16th of June. Elting disregarded the order, and did not appear, He was then ‘“in contempt,” as wellas liable to arrest for disobeying the order. A warrant for his arrest was issucd, and a depu-| ty sheriff tried to find Elting, but in vain, as he kept on the Jersey side of the farm most of the time, slept in the barn at night, and was continual- ly on his guard ' against surprises, Tuesday morning, Stephen Baird, dep- uty sheriff, went down to arrest him, if he could, and, climbing ¥o.an apple tree, watched for Elting, For- tune favored him, for he had scarce gotten esconced in the tree when along came Elting, and the officer slid down and seized him. A scrimmago ensued, but help arrived and . Elting gave in. He asked to be taken to his house, and when he got there he broke away from the officers and ran up staive, They found him hidden in the gurret, where he han crawled ua- der the rafters till nothing was visible but his feet. The deputy grabbed hold of his feet and tried to pull him out, but El- ting held fast to the rafters, and the deputy had to call for help a socond time, - His assistants procured a rope, which they tied about the man’s logs, and three of them commenced haul- ing. Then he came forth, A second time they eaptured him in the ccllar hiding behind a barrel filled with cop- per pennies, he having got loose from his keepers after the perfor ance in the garret. When they found him in the cellar he showed fight, and Blandina pitched in and helped him, blacked one of the officer’s eyes, and made things lively for a while. ~ The old man was finally taken to New- burg jal, where he now lies violently ill f! is alleged he has transferred all his property to his sister, and his debts are not collectable, although he has quantities of ioney stored away in his house, 4 concealed himself, | . | ation in this state, knows that “De you belong to the railroad ring?
