THE JACK POT TEST.

HOW A .MEAN GAMBLER SPRUNG IT ON SISTER ABIGAIL.

n-

Wnnteil Aimtlirr Proof of a Theory

ConcerniUK a Womanly Weakness and

Got It at the Kxicns* of t'nrle Uriah's 1 Opponents at PoUrr.

Beuf, but tall, with sparse wlnskors seldom trimmed. nearly 7'J years old. Uncle Uriah used to sit in the poker game in Omaha, liis thin lingers tremblingly placing his chips and his old eyes glittering as ho timorously skinned his hand. Pathetically like Littie Nell's grandfather he looked sometimes, but he was at no desperate shift to obtain a stake, for he was the possessor of a competence, and he brought into the game the saving grace of the parsimony to which he had been habituated in his earlier days in $ New Hampshire home. He Lever bought more'tinm $0 worth of chips at a time. These Ug.woule^ for the most part ante awfiy Vvaitiug for aces or better, and when he finally did get a good hand a bare call represented the climax of his enterprise.

In ^hose days there was always 2§me on Sunday afternoons, and Uncle Uriah, although a devout Methodi^tj could be counted upon to arrive directly after service and to sit in until the time for afternoon Sunday school. The boys used to joke him at first and ask him if he had sneaked his stake out. of the contribution box, but to this question and to all others of similar levity he opposed a scared seriousness which showed that his passion for the game was more a weakness than a vice%

Uncle Uriah lived with his two sisters—Abigail, aged 03, and Ann, aged 00. Iu New Hampshire they had been called "the girls," but iu Omaha the irreverent, with rude directness, referred to them as Uncle Uriah's old maids."

It did not take the boys in the game long to discover that Uncle Uriah was in much fear of Abigail in general and iu mortal dread that she would discover his besetting weakness. He would always shy at a new player, and ho frequently held forth to the boys ou the impropriety of talking ou the outside about the features of the game. "I sh'd hate to hev the parson know, he used to say. "I wouldn't keer so much 'bout Ann, 'cause she's easy skeered, but I wouldn't hev Sister Abigail know fer the biggest jack pot t'was ever played on this here table!"

There was never any solution to the mystery of how Sister Abigail discover ed the obliquity in Uncle Uriah's life. Some officious neighbor may have told her, or in an excess of caution Uncle Uriah himself may have aroused her definite suspicions. At any rate, 011 a particular Sunday afternoon he arrived at the room at the regular time, but without the key with which he, in common with other participants in the game, had been provided. The negro attendant admitted him, and he was soon engrossed in the play.

There was a good jack pot on the table. Uncle Uriah was iu and was dealing. It was his last say, and the two men ahead of him had bet $10 each. He had drawn one card, and the play was up to him. He had not, however, looked at his draw when the key turned in the snap lock of the front door, and Sister Abigail, pale with a righteous and terrible rage, strode into the room and up to the table. "Gamblini" she cried. "And on the Lord's day, with tho church bells ringin outside aud decent people flockin to his worship. I expected to find you here, you hypocrite!" she went on, turning to Uncle Uriah. "You better get on your duds right now and come home." "I was comin in a jiffy," the old man said, weak with fear. "I guess 1 might as well go 'long with you as with anybody else." He rose and steadied himself by holding the chair.

Seth Coe wus the coolest hand in the game. Even Sister Abigail had not disconcerted him. He reached over and turned up Undo Uriah's hand. It was a flush.

You better straighten this pot out before you go, uncle," oaid Coe. "You call, of course. I suppose a flush is good?'' Coe asked, turning to tho other players. They nodded assent Coe stacked up the chips. "Forty-three dollars here,'' he said, pushing them toward Uriah.

The old man started instinctively toward the pot and then remembered Sister Abigail. He stopped and waited tremblingly for her decision,

It seemed to the players, who turned from the weak and timid old man to the dominant woman, that at this crucial test something of her moral rigidity relaxed. She did not sweep the chips to tho floor. She said nothing about ill gotten gains. With a visible effort she overcame a slight nervous constriction of the throat. She grasped hi* skirts firmly and swept toward the door. "Uriah,"she said, with great dignity, "I will wait for you in tho hall at ths foot of the stairs."

After Uucle Uriah had obtainod his $43 and departed Seth Coo said in his leisurely way: "The old man didnt have a flush. 1 Slipped in a card to fill it out for him. I reckoned you fellows wouldn't mind payin once more for positive proof that, no matter what kind of a woman she is, she's always in with your play when you win the pot"—New York Sun.

When dandruff appears it is usually regarded as an annoyance It should be regarded as a disease. Its presence indicates an unhealthy condition of the scalp, ivhich, if neglected, leads to baldness. Dandruff should be cured at once. The most effective means for the cure is found in4 HAIR VIGOR. It promotes the growth of the hair, restores it when gray or faded to its original color, and keeps the scalp clean and healthy. "For more than eight years I was greatly troubled with dandruff, and though a young man, my hair was fast turning gray and fall. ing out. Baldness seemed inevitable until I began to use

AFTER A SUSPECTED CRAFT.

Cutter MrCullocli Makes a Rapid Run Up U10 Iiay of Manila.

A Sau Francisco Chronicle special from Cavite of June 21 says: "The McCulloch had an exciting chase up under tho guns of Manila this morning 011 a mission that concerned tho safety of Flag Lieutenant T. M. Brumby, who left Cavite in a small launch to go to the British cruiser Immortalite, at anchor with the foreign fleet off tho mouth of tho Pasig river. When ho was well up tho bay, the lynx eyed watch on the Olympia detected larger craft steaming out of Manila under a flag that looked liko the Spanish colors. "Tho McCulloch was ordered to get under way, and five minutes later the dispatch boat went rushing up tho bay at a 15 knot gait. Every officer had his side arms buckled on, and the crew stood ready at their guns. She headed direct for Manila in order to got iuside the fleet and cut off tho retreat of the supposed Spanish boat. When she neared the fleet, it was discovered that the craft under suspioion carried the Aus trian flag, and the chase ended. The McCulloch held her course, however, and made a careful examination of the batteries in front of Manila and a closc inspection of the foreign fleet. No hostile demonstration was made."
