It was In the year 1B00, while I was staying a few days in a Missouri village, that I first saw Giant Jack, I was sealed on the piar.ua of the only hotel that the place could bount of, when I saw a lav,-', handsome man, accompanied by a vy pretty woman, passing down the street He was over six feet in height, with broad shoulders, a deep, full chest, muscular and well formed limbs, glossy, chestnut hair, and a huge beard of the same color, which hung nearly to his waist. He was about Sj years of age, and his companion appeared to be about twelve years his junior. They were seated in a handsome carriage, drawn by a pair of beautiful, blooded horses; and it was evident that they belonged to a wealthy class of people. "That 'ere big feller?" said mine host in reply to my Inquiry, "Wy, that's John Norval. Me u linu has alius be n chums ever senoe we wuz bova, S'lien ther gold fever broke out in '49, we went ter Californy tergetlier. It wui while he wua thisr that he got ther nickname uv Giant Jackan' ther name jest tits him; ' John is er giant in size, and his heart is t s" big in prortion ter his body, Er better feller than John never stood in two shoes; an" I, who've known him ever senoe he wuz knee high ter er grass hopper, ken swar ter it. He owns ther big grocery store thar ercrost ther Btreet, an' tiier dry goods store jest beyond this hotel; and ther big house yer passed jest before yer entered this village, is his'n. "HeV John didn't make our fortin' diggin' Californy gold, en some did," continued the liimllord. "Arter we'd be'n thar erbout live years, we got kinder homesick; an', ea we'd made er big ernough pile ter start us in business here in our naiive village, we concluded ter pull out fur home. ' "But jest Injure we got ready ter start!' thar wuz a new arrival at the oamp-er man mitned Horton, an' his daughter. W hen Giant Jack see ther gal he decided ter stay el while longer, au uv course, ez I didn't want ter start fur home with- out him, I stayed, too. Giant Jack had fell iu love with Clara Horton, almost at fust sight, an' 1 couUft blame him fur it; fur she wuz purlier'n any picter I ever see. "Horton pretended that he had come ter dig gold, but we fuund out after wards that that wuz only er blind. He wuz a profesMional gambler; an' before he had le'n at ther camp ten days, he had fleeced no less n hah er dozen miners, i Huch acouudrels wuz very common in ther California gold regions in them days, "Giant Jack disliked Horton from the fust, but lie made friends with him so he could git 'quainted with his daughter; an' before Clara Horton had be'n er week at the camp, she an' Giant Jack wuz ther best uv friends. "Giant Jack had pitied ther girl on ther Jay when he had fust seen her when ther Btage had brought her an' her father up from ther city; fur she seemed er lady, with her miiet ways an' , her wistful eyes, tin' not a tall fitted fur ther wild, rovin' Tile, which it wuz plain her father wuz leailin' her. "Pity is akin ter love, they say; an' niebbe it wuz ther cause uv Giant Jack's falliu' iu love with Clara Horton so sud tv den; fer ten days from titer time he had i r fust seen her.heaxed her ter behiswife, i " yr better'n any other man I J ever see,' she told him, 'an' I would be ,l glad ter leave my father, whom I can neither love nor respect; but, on herdyin' bed, my mother uiude me promise never ter leave my father, without his consent. Ef he don't object , a u' you aren't asl tamed ter marry er gambler's daughter, I will be your wife: but I can't break the promise I made ter my dyln' mother.' "Horton not only objected, but told Giant Jack he'd put er bullet through 1 him ef he caught him hangin' 'round arter Clara any more. No one short uv er inilliouer, lie said, could have ln daughter. I "Giant Jack drew his uistol from his belt, thought erwliile, art' then put It . lmu erg IU. 'If yer wa'n't Clara's father,' said he, I'd let daylight through yer,' "Then he wont back tor Clara, an' MiCU MM WOMIOl W.I UKMIJ IMIU niUIUUV her father s consent. He t U1 her that her mother wouldn't blarat her. ef she. knew what er blackleg her father wus, an that it wuz foolish fer her ter make . her own life miserable, an his'n, too, jest fur ther sak uv keepin' er promise. But all his argym didn t do no good, Clara, though she cried when he wut "''".lal hortwm He, ugetber with his ideal i i '.II , j mi..l medicine man, still hibernates in the good old pleadin' with her, refused ter break her dyl!o( ,vtmitva M'lom u promise, be Inquisitive.

He de Giant Jack went 'round lookin' suller'n llirhlslii assafaaida and calomel and carbolic er niad bull; then one evenin' he got me an1 three other fellers to ao ud to Hor- ton'acahin Let's shake he said ter Horton when ' we got thar; 'and tor show I've got nothin' erg'in j-er I'll play er game uv keerds with yer.' "Horton shook hands with him heart ily, but he looked er little s'prised, fur Giant Jack had alius refused ter play with him before. " 'Uv course I'll have er game with yer,' said he, awful chipper; fur he thought he d got er new victim; ;M,t fli,.r, th t 'Set "Giant Jack sot down ter ther table, an' Horton seated himself opposite ter, 1 r t "They cut fur deal, an' Giant Jack drew ther highest keerd. . " 'What's yer gamer he axed, shufflin' ther pasteboards. "Seven up,' said Horton. 'That's ther most pop'lar game jest now.' "Ther game wuz small at fust, an' Hor ton won six out ov ther fust seven. Then bigger stakes wuz made, an' Giant Jack won erbout four out ov every five games. "When ther young folks, back here in ole Missoury, useter play keerds fur fun, John Norval useter be ther Binaries' an' luckiest one ermongst 'em; an', fur ther fust time since he'd be'n at ther camp, Horton had found bis match. . "It wuz er purely scientific game, each man beiu' too clever fur ther other ter attempt any cheatin'. Horton wuz stead ily Irwin', but he didn't offer ter give up piayin . 1 ve noticed, az er gineral thiug, that titer more er man loses when he's gamblin', ther more anxious he is ter pla.T- "At last Hortoa rose ter his feet, look in' pale an' haggard. " 'Ye have cleaned me out,' he said. Ire nothin more ter stake. "'Thar's yer daughter,' said Giant Jack coolly. 'I'll lay half uv ther pile mat 1 ve won ter night ag nist her.' "Horton glared at him er minute, an' then sot down ter ther table erg'in. "Giant Jack dealt ther keerds, an' ther game commenced. Horton made ther Jack, an' Giant Jack , wux high, low, game. ' 1 "Ther second heal. Giant Jack went high, low, jack an' t her game, -; "'I've won,' he said, quietly. 1 . "Horton jumped ter his feet an' drew his pistol; but quick ez er flash Giant Jack covered him with his own barkin' iron. ' 'Drop that,' said he, sternly, 'ur ye'll find I ken play at pistols ez well ez at keerds, "Ther pistol dropped from Hot-ton's tlftubliu'' hand ter ther floor. He knew that Giaut Jack w uz ther best shot in the camp. "Horton glared at Giant Jack fur 'bout half er minute, an' then he called Clara from her little room atther end uv ther cabin. " 'Take her erway from here at once, he said ter Giant Jack, 'She can't stay here ter-night; an' I hope I'll never set eves on her erg in. "In er few words. Giant Jack told her what had happened; an' ther look uf joy that shone in her eyeB told plainer than words could have done how pleased she wuz at ther turn erfairs had taken. Without er word uv farewell ter her father, ur even er backward glance, she tuk Giant Jack's arm an' he led her from j ther cabin, leavin' behind him every-i tiling else tliat he had won from Hoi ton. ' '".Ve gave up our cabiu ter Clara that night, an' slept in ther cabin that be longed ter ther fellers that went with us terliorton's, which wuzdose toour'n. 'The next day we Clara, Giant Jack and myself took ther stage fur Frisco; an' ez soou ez we got thar Giant Jack and Clara wuz married." "And wfiat became of her father?" 1 asked. "I douHjjitnow whatever become uy Horton, fs never heard from him since thut night we left him erlone in his cabin at ther Californy minin' camp. Yes, that woman yer see jest now with Giant Jack ur John Norval. ez he is known erbout here is his vife; an' he won her, not with er sword; nor exactly by courtship.
