THAT IS DECIDEDLY INTERESTING.

There was a party of four sitting at
a small table in tbe rear nf a prominent
Sail 11 In Waluutstreet, Spell Unit salon
with one o, please, for It Bounds ein
iiiuitly Frenchy nnrl aristocratic. In
tbe crowd whs the veteran, and ho is a
veteran in more ways than one. He
grow remlnlsocnt, a characteristic of
veterans. The younger men led him on.
In fact, they always did when oppor
tunity offered, for they were sure of a
good story. Tbe subject was draw poker,
and the veteran said:
"Yes, I've been in mnio putty stiff
games, and it was when we played
with tbe stuff, the long green; ante
what you please and raise what you
pleuseand go for all in sight after the
draw with the money right thereon tho
table; no ivories, no nothing, 'oept
money.
"If I romembor rightly, there was a
lumberman from Handy here, and a
sawmill man from Ironton, and a grocer
from Portsmouth, and a liquor man
from Maysvillo and DM In tho game. It
was down at tho Spt-noer House.
"I can't tell you how we got mixed
in the game, for that would spoil the
story. Hut we were in it, and I remem
ber tbe money was on the table in lieu pa
until the hands came out that broke up
the sitting. Boys, I never saw such hands
before nor since. I never did, and if I
live to be a million I'll never seo the
like again.
"It just went around in the usual
way with nothing peculiar about tho
anto or the raises till aftor tho draw.
Then every son of a gun about the tablo
kinder hunched np a little closer and
looked pcarter than ever. I knowed
there was troublo coming. Every feller
raised, and when it got around to tbe
starter ho saw all of 'em and raised
with about half his pile. Never mind
tt"? amounts. Hundred dollar bills wero
laying around on thut tuble like whito
chips now, only more plenty, and every
man in tho crowd had his roll in his
insido pocket besides. And before it
went very far tin y camo out and eomo
bigger bills than centuries got oommou,
too, but every one of tho crowd seemed
to think it v.is all bis when the show
down come. I knowed I bad 'em, for
four kings was hard to beat when yon
bad an ace in tho discard. Straight
flushes? Not on your lifo. Theyworcn't
played then.
" 'It's getting interesting, 1 said the
Maysville man. 'Let's tnko an account
of stock. '
"There was (27,000 on the table, not
counting tho odd bills of a hundred and
nnder, and overy one of tbo five was
obotit equally interested in tho pot Of
course, wo could have gone along for
awhile by making chocks or markers,
but obecks on out of town banks are n
dead give nway when tboy get home,
and tho men from up tho river didn't
want anything of that kind So we just
made an agreement to show down and
let tbo thing go.
" What do you think was the end?
Yon oouldn't guess. Now, remember,
every man was a straightforward busi
ness man, and during tho gumo there
wasn't an outsider in the room and the
cards had never been changod during
tho wholo game.

and every ouo sworo ho had discarded
