The train was latj and he and I were the only occu pants of the dingy little waiting room. Under these circumstances folks are drawn toward each other by the magnetism of mutual dis comfort, and we fell to talking. Ele was a fine looking- fellow, tall, well built, and vigorous, but an air of indescribable melancholy per meated his appearance and tinged oven his talk to such an extent that our conversation languished and would probably have died en tirely had he not "finally turned around and said to me: "You must excuse me, sir, for an apparent moodiness. " The truth is that I am unable to shake off tho recollection that to-night is the anniversary of a sad and singu lar event in my life. I was a pro fessional gambler in my younger days and dealt faro for a living, but ten years ago to-night I quit forever under circumstances that even now half unman me and call tears to my eyes. I have no ob jection to telling you the .story if you think that it would interest you."' I begged him to go on and he proceeded as follews: "Ten 3'ears ago," he said, "1 was the proprietor of club rooms at Baltimore, where I dealt a game of faro for a circle of players. They were all-heavy betters, bus iness men most of them, and I 'ca tered to their game only. My rooms were sumptuously fitted up. There was no appointment that gilded vice could suggest that was not at hand,- and my sideboard groaned with the choicest vintages that money could buy. "One night when tho game was slack and I was lounging in the dealer's chair under the crimson globe of tlu chandelier, a stranger entered the room. He was very young, but dissipation or care had diawn lines upon his boyish face, and his dark eyes burned with a feverish light: As ho approached tho table I marked how ghastly pale he was and that his hand trembled as though with a chill. He took a seat and drawing a thousand dollar bill from his pock et, tossed it across the table, G:ve me that much in chips,' he said in a tremulous voice. "I think he must have played for an hour. Luck went back and forth for awhile, but finalty it set in against him and I raked in the last of his ivories. For a moment ho sat motionless, staring, dazed like at the floor, then he lifted up nis haggard lace to mine. Nbir,' he said, 'rou have, without know ing it, done me a favor. Had I won I would have kept on in the old way; now that I have lost, I will never gamble again.' I smiled cynically. 4Yes,' I said, I have heard people talk that way before.' 'You mistake me,' he went on in a voice that thrilled my very heart. 'I will not gamble again because tho last card you turned was nxy death warrant. Listen to me. That thousand dollars I have lost was the last of fortune, hbme, and honor. It is gone, all gone to en rich your clan. I am not blaming you; I am not complaining; I am simply stating a fact. 1 am to night the worst of paupers one without a trade, without a pro fession, without the ability to sup port the wife who is this moment confidently and trustingly await ing my return. She knows noth ing of my gradual downfall. I have dissimulated, God knows how, before her. I have not now one dollar upon the face of the earth, and I determined when I entered your door that if it came to this, if my last stake lost, I would this night terminate the failures and follies of my life. I am in earnest, Something im pelled me to tell you this, and these will probably be my last .words,' he said with a look of pain." "I arose, deeply moved, and pulling open the drawer took out the thousand dollar bill. 'Here, my friend,' I said, 'take back this money and begin life over again. It will keep you until you can get employment. Go home and con- jfess everything to your wife, be a man and keep out of gambling hells forever.' " "He started violently, turned crimicn and for an instant choked up in n h throat. 'Generous man,'. he said finally, 'I cannot and will not accept this money. It is yours ! You won it fairly, but if you will give me half of it, I will follow 1 your advice. You may not realize it, sir, but you nave to-mgnt snatched a soul from the brink of eternity.' " "I counted him out $500, and with tears streaming from his eyes he left the house." "And from that time you quit gambling?" I exclaimed, strangely impressed with the narrative. "No, not exactly from that time." replied the stranger, choking a sob, "it was about an hour later, when I found out that thousand dollar bill was counterfeit and I had been worked for the S500," I walked out into the still, sol emn night, and waited for the train alone. Eeturning Chinese- About -300 Chinamen arrived here last evening from Tacoma. They are the men who had trouble with their foremen near tho Cas cades tunuel a few da3s since, in which several wero shot by hired "detectives." They were offered 5l a day by the N. P. R. R. Co., to stay on the work, bnt refused. Chinamen aro in demand at pres ent. Sisson & Crocker, contract ors on the C. & O. railroad, have several agents hero endeavoring to secure Chinese laborers. They offer $1 a day, and to give each man au advance of $10, and will pay $2 commission on each man secured. They will endeavor to engage all those who arrived here last night, but the Northern will make an effort to induce the men to go back to work on their line. Orcgonian 16. A Life Made JILscrable By djspepsla is scarcely worth tho lllnr. A capricious appetite, heartburn puzzling nervous sj mptnins, increase i action of the heart after eating, sinking In the abdomen between meals, and tl.ttulencu after, are among the successive indicia of this har rasslng complaint. Two things only arc needful for Its emoval. A resrt to Hos teller's St mach Bitter; and l'firslstence in its use. These remedial me.isures neinc adopted, a cure Is certain. Taken immedi ately before or after meals, this great stomachic promotes secretion of tho gastric Juice, the natur 1 solvent of the food. The nervous and bilious sjmpioms consequent upon chronic indigestion disappear. a the complaint gradually yields to tho corrective and invigorating Influence of the Bitters. Atpetite returns, sleep becomes more ro- frpslilnir, and as a sequence, the body is enicln ly nourUliPd, muscular power In creases, and the mlud grows sanguine. Use the Bitters for chills and fever, and rheu matism. The Eesnlt in Michigan. Detkoit, April 15.
