Smith came to Texas in lsjlfl and
served In the Texas army through all

and challenged the whole company to

I'poii one occasion Smith was cap
tured by a roving band of Coiiinuches,
many , f whom were well known to him.
They frankly told him that they intend
ed to make him run the gantlet and
bum him at the st ake when they reach
id their village ou D.-vil riv. r Tim cap
tive had a flask of whisky, which tho
1 chief tisik away from him After tak
' lag several drinks the old warrior asked
Smith if he OOUld play sewn up
Smith proudly boasted that he ould
beat any man living playing that par
ticular gaiii This answer appeared to
juit the Indian on his mettle, and limit
once proposed that they should halt by
tho side of the warpath aud play for
tho hlgheat stakes that mortal man ever
waged on a tame , I chance -It to.
Smith eng. riv agreed to the proposal,

dealt the cards ou a blanket The oth
warriors dismounted and anxiously
watched the game 1 he chiefs lianin

a natural grin that marked his features
Aft. r a short time tin y stoud (I tu ll,
and it was Smith's deal. He ran the
curds off and turned a jack from the
bottom. Smith had won his liberty, and
Dig Laugh told him he might go. hut
the Texan hud a thing idse in view.
Be might easily have walked away, hut
he il, termiiied nmii another act which
marks bint as a generous soul possessed
Of the highest murage. There was a
young white girl Bed on one of ths
ponies, who was weeping in the most
piteous agony
Smith coolly proposed to play another
game, staking his Ufa against the lib
erty of this young girl. Hlg Laugh was
evldi titly pl. as, d with tho white mini's
courage, and after taking another drink
bo began to sliiidlo tho cards. Tha
young girl was cut loose from tb ny
and mado to stand on the blanket,
while tho thongs (of binding Smith, in
cuso ho lost, were thrown at her feet
Again they played a close, game, and at
tho end of u short time "to nl 0 and 0,
hut it was liig Laugh's deal With
w hat awful interest that poor girl must
bnvo watched tho turning of thut
trnmpl Tim Indian slowly dealt the
cards, and, peeping at the trump, a
hideous grin spread all over Ills face.
"I was sure that nil was lost and was
just in tho act of springing at his
throat," aayi Smith, "when he turned
tha 00000 Of hearts for a trump. Bl
could not give DM, of course, and I held
both thl ace and dCUOe Of hearts."
Dig Laugh was by this time hilarious
ly drunk and in a most excellent good
humor Ho nut only kept his word and
guvo Smith and tho yoUttg girl their
liberty, mt be furnished them two po
nies and allowed Smith to take his gun.
Tho liberated captives reached tho set
