'Did you over know a poker play
er to lay down four aces I"
Tho Cripple Crook man throw an un
conscious log ovor tho arm of his chair,
ltd his cyo grow reminiscent.
"Yes, several of them," ho mused,
"and all good short card men, too. No
body but a blood cousin to tho king
fool balks nt laying down nny hand,
no matter how good it looks to him,
if his poker sense tells him it's beat.
"Right thoro is tho dividing lino
between tho easy mnrk and tho man
who knows how tho gulf betwoen tho
mulo and tho master mind knowing
when to quit. Qod hates a quitter,

tho samo sour contempt n fellow feels

calling hands becauso he wasn't going
to let any stiff in that gamo get away

"Curiosity is all right in scientific
research, but in poker it's about as
useful as a vermiform nppondiz, and
make it a soro one, at that; just good
for trouble and tho soonor you cut It
out, tho better for you.
"But, coming back to our fours,
I'vo known that bunch of aces land
down sovernl times, I say; but I
reckon I saw tho only play that ever
ume up whero n man laid down a fist
ful liko that without making even a
bet or a call after the draw, and ho
was as smooth a fellow as ever fondled

"alto in tor right aad left aldni, and
my menus were very palatal and
Irregular. Since taUag Oardul,' I
feel like a new wemaa, and do not
tatter as I did. It la the boat modi-
cine i erer naa in my nouie."
POUR AGES I
couldn't tell from tho mellow, goldon
chuckle that welled up from Jake's
insldrs whether bo was sitting behind
a king full or a kilter.
"Ho played this particular hand
ono night up in Bat, Mastorson's club-
rooms in Denvor. Yes, it's tho samo
Bat that's now leading tho slmplo life
as deputy marshal after his nervous
career west of everything that ever
hunted cover.
"Ho and Bob Austin had tho swift
est gnmo in tho west; big, hnndsomo
rooms, with half n dozen faro layouts
and a couplo of roulette wheels for tho
cheap suckers that trickled in. Back
of theso were poker rooms, somo open
for nnybody to sit In that had the
price, but a couplo of them wcro prl
vate and only ontorcd by a back stair'
way opening in the rear of a big hotel
"Theso two woro open for tho high
class, papa- gouo- to- prayer- meeting
sports who wanted to play under the
blnnkot bank cashiers, pillars of the
vestry and presidents of things, that
got tired of being keyed up to concert
pitch and had to bo lot down a spell.
A big Guinea nigger guarded that
stairway, and if you didn't belong you
might as well havo triod to butt into
tho winter palace.
"One night I dropped off tho Crip-
plo Creek train to see Jake about a
mining doal that meant money; Jake
bad every kind that was over minted.
After an hour's hunt I learnod that
"ho had slipped up to Bat's with a lot
'of deacons and business men. I stood
liu with tho big coon, and pretty soon
ho brought mo word from Jake to
come up.
"I found him and five others just
winding up a roodle,
"A roodlot Why, it's a round of
doublo ante-jackpots, each player deal
ing until his pot is opened, and every
time it's sweetened you set in a whole
ante. Yes, it's a mighty lively game
and somo juicy, too.
"Out west, when a man gets an ace
full beaten they Inject a roodle into
tho gamo to glvo him a chance to make
a killing and get oven. Of course, the
beneficiary stands just as much chance
as anybody else to furnish tho raw ma
terial for tho massacre and turn up
among the killed and wounded; but
after a fellow who's dubbed along for
an hour and a half gets bold of a full
with boots on, and then gets it beat,
that fellow wants to plunge tho coun
try into civil war.
"Then it's duo for a roodle. It
calms him down. Ho either makes good
or gets so high up in the casualty list
that ho can't speak above a whisper
the rest of the season.
"Well, Jaka asked me to alt down
a moment, as it was the last deal on
that roodlo and ho was going to quit
after that. It was a fairly stiff game,
I gathered blues out to six and a
quarter and two-pair bets running along
from 25 to 150.
"There was about 60 in the pot
when this last hand was dealt. Jake
squeezed his cards over to me, showing
three big bullets.
"The first man next to tho dealer
passed the open. Bo did tho seeond
and third. Jake, who was fourth,
eraeked it light 'or some W to roll
in tho rest on percentage and bump
them hard after tho raw.
"Some of them didn't need mneb
eoaxin', though, for the "
jumped in with a 50 raise and the,
dealer churned it u, 'or ISO more, all
of which I knew was pleasing to Jake,
though you couldn't havo detected it
with an X-ray. The dealer was pick-
ing up tho. deck and about to nsk Joke
how many cards he'd like, when tho
third man, Ityland, who hod passed tho
open, cut In.
" 'Hold on,' ho said, 'I'm in this.
Gimme a card,' and ho pushed his $125
Into the center.
"Jnko held up n kicker and drew
for a blind. Tho fifth man took n
couple, and tho denier remarked with
thinly disguised satisfaction thnt ho
had all he wanted.
It began to look liko Jnko's thrco
aces wero going to have moro company
than they really needed, but when ho
flashed his draw to mo I saw that ho
was ready to entertain nil comers.
Tho gentlemanly dealer handod hlra the
fourth ncot
It was Jake's first say, of course,
being the opener, but ho quietly
hummed 'The Dying Cowboy,' and
passed up tho bet so ns to back in
against the dealer's pnt hand and
give him a jolt that would mako him
hate cards for a year.
"Tho fifth man, though, seemed to
feci considerable better for his two
card drnw. no set in a 100 stack of
blues right under tho muzzle of the
dealer's hand as though a pat didn't
strike him as particularly formldablo
anyhow.
"But if he thought ho was going to
scare that dealer out of a raiso ho was
badly fooled, for the next Instant thnt
obliging gent swarmed In with a tilt
of $150 more. At this Jako let up on
the 'cowboy' and was counting out
chips to spring n glnd surpriso with a
$200 bill from his pllo and dropped it
into tho pot, quietly remnrking:
" 'Two hundred ami fifty simolcons
more, if you please.'
"I was smiling at tho thought of
thnt much extra ment coming to Jnkes
market, when, to my astonishment, ho
tossed his four aces faco down on the
discard.
"'That's good here,' ho said, and
pushed his chips ovor to tho second
man, who wns banking tho gnme. Then
to me: 'I'm ready now. Whatt Don't
wnnt to go just yctt All right, IjVo
got to telcphono a party anyhow and
I'll meet you In tho lobby in fivo min
utes,' nnd he left tho room, placidly
humming the 'Cowboy.'
"No, not much I didn't go just then
You couldn't havo pulled me loose
with a lariat until I saw what kind of
cards wcro backing thoso husky bets,
especially that hand of Ityland 's.
"I know it wasn't possible that
Jnko had overlooked his hand. That
wasn't Jake, and besides ho had tipp
ed off tho fourth nco to mo. But it
seemed just ns impossible that ho
should lay down such a bunch without
a call and go strolling off with all tho
indifference of an elovator boy,
"I watched while tho fifth man
and tho dealer called, ono showing
down a four full he'd caught a pair
in tho draw and tho other a ten full)
ho had bad pat all tho time. Then In
a dazed sort of a way I saw Ityland I MCnK no good either prcsont or fu

pot while his two lato opponents
breathed liko a yoko of tired steers.
" 'Jake,' I said an hour later as
we sat over a beefsteak and a Hud
welser In the cafe,' what in tho name
of all tho gods of chance mado you
lay down fours to a hand that couldn't
even open tho pot beforo tno urnwi"

" 'I opened it light, as you saw, to(
get the erowa in sgainsi my pig mrtn

When the fifth man raised my open I
put blm down for two pairs small
threes, for evidently he didn't want. J

" I put blm up for a pat hand, for)

they were. So the play earae up to
Ityland net only with strength show

expensive to draw cards.

" 'Still Ityland might make it and
If ho (lid it was chnos como again, and
I'd better stny fobilooso, ready to

mighty- euro to mo bo'd raado some

denier cheerfully lifted him to tho
