I do Dot want to be on grateful, but the whole of my time In America had been pawed In KireUiil can yon, and the people 1 met la FireUil can yon were decidedly dreadful; and when I turned my lck on Firetail rauyon and, metaphorically speakiun, shook the dust off uiy feet against America, I was du llKhteil; fur I was tired of the brutal, ua civlliaed, KOrdtd life, and the exceedingly brutal, unclTill.nd, sordid people whom it bail been my iiiinfortune to have to associ ate with iu Firetail city. The fact is, I had been engineer to the Uucle Dudley silver mine, aud having, to tosay-apeakingtaquiteati humble way, you know made my pile, I waa comiug borne to Ktigland on six months' leave, with the inteiitiuu of belteriuK. myself, if possible, and of nut returning' to America, Firetail canyon nor the Uncle Dudley mine, If 1 could help It.

I need not describe the Bitbynla you all kuow the Bithynia. These four days were peculiarly delightful, because they were passed In the society of Parthenia Persitutuuu. 1'oxllieuia was eighteen; aha bad li ruddier than the cherry and riper than the berry they-were arched; like Cupid's bow; aud ou list cheek the lily and tbe nwe, and iutiumerable dear, delightful dimples struggled for mastery. t tier lux uriant hair was a delicious goldeu brown but I need uot say any more; it will save your time aud mine If 1 state that Par thenia Persimmon ws Duck of Dia monds. You know what I .mean? Kx actly to. v If tun ask me bow Parthenia and 1 em ployed our lime during those, four days 1 fear I must reply, "la tUiliciouk dulliauce," which is a poetic phrase and expressive We bad never seen each other in our lives before, and my Party's popper was lyitie in his stateroom very sea sick indeed. (Parthenia Is such mouthful, "you know, and she hits bidden me to call her Party on the third day of dalllauosl 'Topper al ways call me Party," she had observed. I may explain here that popper is American for father.-' As yet I had not seen Party's popper, but on the fourth day of dulliauce a geutleman oflifty, looking very green, indeed, about the gills, waa introduced to me by Par tbenia as thut relative. ; party's popper was evidently a gentle niau. lie waa very quiet, he dressed nu obtrusively. be did not talk politics, aud he spoke particularly well, throwing in an occasioual archaic word or two, which gave a certain special flavor and pictur eatieneiss po that clear, cold, genuine En glish of his. : .i I was rather sorry to see Party's popper. No more moonlight walks on the saloon deck. I thought; the days of dalliance are over. Perliuus he would ask my iuten' tions. I did not mind that particularly, for my lutentions were strictly honorable, but and It was a very big but, indeed I bad no idea in the world I the position In life of Party or Party's popper. That is the difficulty about traveling Americans; it. is lm08ible to judge of their position by their clothes, or their luggage, or their talk. Of one thing alone can you be certain.

I i ' Mr. Persimmon aud I grew very friend ly. Wo saw a good deal Of each otutf, and In the eveuing we went Into the smoking room and we played at poker. When 1 .. -1.-. f ..m l. lmn. say we I mean m t u, " simiuon declared that be did not "know enough about cards." I confess that I played a little higher man i oouiu auuru, with the idea of dasaling.Mr. lenlmmpo and so creating. a favoraUe kmpresaion, which is what Parthenia meant by getting down bis back. ' If I bad not been so taken up with Par ty I might have discovered in time that Colonel Jabes Jackpotts, Senator Pat Straddle and Dr. Clspperton Fudge were nrofaiaional sharpers.

Then one of the players was frightened out, and the stake went on Increasing until 1 bad three thousand dollar in front of me, for each man "went better" that is to say, In creased bis slake Two of the players caved in. 1 :"You rau't bluff me, mister," remarked Colonel Julie.

I laid ray flush sequence to the ace upon the table with a triumphant smile. "Damnation!" cried Colonel Jackpotts. Then he suddeuly stretched out his great paw and spread the card out. And lol there were six cards ace, king, queen, knave, ten of spade and the eight of hearts. "I am sorry for you, mister," remarked Colouel Jalwx Jackpotta, with a benignant smile; "that's a foul hand. Uand over them chips." I had lost. How It happened I could not tell. "It must have occurred In tbe dealing," I thought. ! 1 , ' I appealed to the bystanders. I offered to refer the matter to a well known Ameri can diplomatist who waa looking on. "You have lost," he said calmly. "You should have examined your cards more carefully. The laws of poker, like those of the Mede and Persians, alter not." Colonel Jabez Jackpotts carefully count ed toy great pile of notes, and they went Into his capacious pocket hook. I Deo tne party broke up. That night 1 opened ray soul to Mr. Per stmmon. "I am a ruined man, sir," I saia "1 have lost all I had In the world except lA.OUO. I bad Intended, Mr. Persimmon, to ask you for your daughter's hand. That's all over uow, through my absurd folly. I shall never forgive myself, and I've got to begin the world again." "Waa Party fond of you, boyf" he asked laconically. He did not give me time to answer. "Party was fond of you; she told me so herself. It's a lucky thing for you that Party Is fond of you. For Party's sake I'll tee you through this thing. Jack pott In a sharper, aud Senator 8t raddle and the doctor are bis accomplices." ..-.-.. s The following evening Mr. Persimmon placed a note caae in my hand, "For Party's sake," said lie. "I'm going to lend you some dollars.

Jackpotta is a smart man; it was he who put the eight of hearts there I saw blm do It; but if I, beinn vour frietid. had attempted to un- niahk him. uo oue would have believed me" Then it all dawned upon me for the first time. 4 We began to play. We played for about a quarter of mi hour; It was my turn to bet. I had nothiug in my hand nothing whatever. I was about to throw it on the table in disgust, when, to my horror, I saw Mr. Persimmou take out his handkerchief, I save him a look of agony; he only smiled. Oue by one, as I Increased tbe stakes, the players dropped out. I had over 140,000 staked in front of me, and the money not mine. It was Parthenia's father's. "I'll raise you five thousand, mister," aniit Colonel Jackiiotu, ln a hollow voice, as be took out the very last of his bank notes from his great pocket book "Ten thousand dollars belter!" I cried. with affected calmness. "I guess I'll write you a check for ten tliotiaaud. mister, and then I'll see you blurted out the colonel, bis eyes almost starting from bis head.

Colonel Jackpotts saw that it was no use making a scene. He gave one vindictive look at Mr. Persimmon, and, then the colonel saw that tbat gentleman's band was in what in America is termed the "sly Docket of his panto." (In America, wben a gentleman's hand Is in this position it 1 imnerallr uraaDing a revolver.) "Then, darn me Diue, sum toe cotoiici "if you ain't busted me between you.

"You might like to see that there are onlv five cards in my band," I remarked tri umphantly. . I exhibited my five worthless aardafacenDward. I had "bluffed" Colo nel Jabes JackDolts.

There have lieeli some pretty big fe- tuule plungers in the oil market ut one tunc and another. I lu re are slill wo men sax'uluisrs in most of the oil ex- hangit hi Iho region, but there are few, uny, of the "high rollers left. Oil City lias li.ul more women speculators petroleum than any or, her town, al though at tine lime Bradford had a fair quota, Tlie Ulolsy-lViiux-ral correspond ent learned today tlutt there are but ree women w ho still visit the Oil F.x- hatige duilv and make a regular busi ness of toy ing with the oily tiger. These ladies have licet) familiar figure about the exclmuge for several years, and are that are left out of several women speculators. These ladies do not come on the floor of the exchange, and ure not, hi fact, inrmliers, but are in their seals in the ladies' gallery as sjsiii nt the exchatigo ofiens, nmi remain loiernniy reguiuriy until the close ut 3 o cluck ut the after uoon. Tliev deal, of eotirse, entirely irough brokers, a nml being a sufhYieiit order for u broker lo buy or sell 1,000, 000 or 10.000 barrels of oil, as the rase mav In. It is not often that they go be- oud a deal of 1,000 barrels, at the la- ies w ho are left in the exchange, to put It in the phraseology of a broker, are flying light. With a few exceptions. the ladies who have entered the jungle of the oily tiger have got the worst of it. The three who still cling to the exchange, are content to di al in 1,000 barrel lots, and it is not ulnnvs thev can do this. A number of liulii-s prominent in the charitable organizations and iu society ere have been successful speculators iu oil, and two or three of them have been Interested in some large deal. They were not regular habitue of the ex- linngp, and were frequent visitors to the gallery, which is 0k'ii to the public. All their deals in the market have been nmde through brokers. .When there was more activity in the market than there is at preeent it wus n universal theme of fireside gossip. Evervlxuly 8iecu1nted oil, from the minister down to the porter in the hotel, mid it is no wonder the ladies fell under thu fascinating spell of the "bull ring," as the pen like place where the deals nre nmde on Change is called. During exciting times in the market it his liecn discussed quite as much in the drawing room us in the counting room. In the system of speculating in oil the persons of small capital and no capital ut all have not been overlooked, and the servant girl is given an opportunity to take a liver iu oil ' If she is so inclined. During one big whirl in the market, fol lowing the collapse of the Cherry Urove field, it was well known that a large numlier of servant girls lost their little bundle along with the big fellows. This was the most disastrous panic the oil country ever knew, and it marked to a great extent the end of siieculuting by women. So many of them loet all their money thut only a limited number of them have hud thu courage to venture back into the s)iectilative whirlpool. The history of one woman s simula tions in the Oil City exchange is curious. Uer husliund had Imhmi in business iu the oil country for several years and hud ac cumulated considerable proerty, in all worth about $16,000. lie concluded to go west, and weut to several of the west ern cities to look around for an Invest ment, lie had effected a sale of his property before leaving Oil City, and his wife remained beliuul tw settle up some details, collect payments not yet due and join him in the west, where they were to make their future iioine. the womun collected the money, and, doubt less, wishing to carry a pleasant surprise to her husband, she put the money into the oil market to "make a turn." Tlie turn went the wrong way and she lost. In the hope of getting it luick she made other investments, with the usual result. It was not long before she hud lost every dollar of the money that she was to carry to her husband. It was some time before she ventured to break the news of her folly to her husband, and this aha did only after he hud written repeatedly for her to come on with the money. At last she told him the story of her loss in the oil market, where she had gone in the hope of doubling their money. Hie hus band hud taken enough money with him to buy a small farm, and with this he w as contented to begiu the business of money gelling over again, but hi wife refused to share his lot until she had re stored to him the money she had lost. She declined to go west, but remained ln Oil City in the hope of recovering her bait fortune, This was 'n veai sutro.and the woman is still a da v attendant in the gallery of the Oll.fciri ange. bhe lias Had varying lin k, but has never got enough money ahead to make good the loss to her hus band, or anything like it. Hie Olooe- Dcniocrut correstxmdent wus told that in ibis time she has several time been re duced to the extremity of doing the worn of a servant. When she would get onnnirh nionev together to buy a "put or a "call'' she would again try her luck In the market. She always dressee in solemn black, and evidently has but one purpose in life, namely, to recover the money she foolishly risked in oil and re- ,ii, it lo ner iiiisuanu. There is not mucli likelihood mat sne will ever succeed. Her husliand conliu ikhi ti.nr"n her Ui abandon her aelf ira- tu-A iHkk and ioin him on hi farm in the west, but she resolutely refuses to do so. He ha made two or three trips to Oil Citv to prevail upon her to give up the market, but she cannot 1st sliaken from her iiurDose. Hlie says sue is in u for the money she lost or for her Hie, She lives in the most frugal manner, vpn when making some money, but th .i,.n,-sa ar remote of her ever recover hi.r Li.
