One day llodn atrw-k a vein mat

knew abe would take no charity from
bltn. ao be played to win. lu the lone
run thsy stood nearly even.
One day a man tot bold of Ilodwn
and wa playing blm for all bo was
w.e-th wbeu Molly interfered. From
tluvt time forward Molly M t Hodou
blaiing with her alt bis spare time.
ami it aoou came t he noticed hy thoju
who overlooked th fame that she Wa.
rheattug him. This caused preat ur
piie. becauw Molly vrn known lo be

Uotlsou. Ni who imld anything to her
vh-llm nbout her uiai.l;iiluloii of the
cards. Tbat man Uone of their bnl-
ues, aud any of them would gladly
sea ber gain.
It was hot knowu to nuy one besides
Itodson a ud Molly bow much of bU
mouey be was relieving bim of. but
It wa considerable- One iiltfht when
they were playing together atom? Jl:n
all to Molly:
"If you clean me out. Moil, wnai u
you do with the fund?"
"Marry a good for not him; man.
"Bonl nee what ucb u flml clans wo
mttA at you wan is with a i:ood for
nothing man."
"Well, a weak woman wouldn't; a
strong one would. It a our opHslte
we like."
They were playing' ordinary euchre
Molly waa "turning Jack" ou her vic
tim, dealing herself band to match the
trump, and every now mid nipilu pro
posing to raise tbe utake. llodson wa
very atupld not to si-e that he was get
ting alaugbtered, but he bad no faculty
fur card and waa blind us a bat to
sleight of hauil Besides, he never
dreamed tbat Molly would cheat More
over, there was no mouey ou the talie;
h waa continually atoning I. O. t'.'a
Tbe truth Is be bad lost all his caxb
and waa signing away his stock tu the
mine. Molly knew bow many shares
ha awnnl. nn. I. keening count III her
bead, ahe was aware that she had I.
O. U.'a for 00 Hr cent of them. When
she took in the Dual teuth ahe called a
halt aud aald:
"Jim. bow many shares In your mine
do you own?'
"Fifty thousand."
Molly took up the I. O. U.'s and, add
tng the amounts ou them, figured up
Vl.ooO shares. Jim turned pale.
"You're a good man. Jim," wild Mol
ly, "and I'm going to give you n chance
to wiu back your proiK-rty." Writlug
aotucthlug ou the back of one or the
I. O. U.'a, she folded it ud told blm
to put It lu bid iHH'kel.
"I'll play all I have won rrom you
ngulnst what'a ou that paper."
Jim begged to know what II waa.
but she wouldu't k-ll him. Ue was
desperate enough to accept any term.
o he consented, lie proposed euchre.
but Molly substituted a showdown
poker baud, wltb Jim for dealer, say
ing tbat ahe wanted blm to be sure
that there wa no shenanigan. Jim
aald he waa aura of that already. Tbey
concluded to make It tbe best In three
hand, and Jim dealt the drat hand.
Molly won, drawing a king with acea
and aevena. Jim bad no pair. Tbe
aecond kand Jim won on tena and
deuce. His hand trembled as he dealt
the third time, and when the caraa
were drawn he ahowed the queen of
hearts high against Jack high.
Without waiting for Molly to nana
over hla L O. U.'a he took out the pa
per ahe had given him, unfolded It and
read a atngle word
-Teureelf."
It reaulrcd some time to get the
meaning through hla head, though he
was assisted by a mild blush on hoi
iv' face. When he understood he
reached across the table and took Mol
It In hla arms.
This to how Molly aaved Jim Hod-
son's Interest In a mlue which eventu
ally became enormrsly valuable.
