A Hand at Whist

“That was a remarkable band you held just now,'* said tbe commercial traveler to his companion at cards. “Pretty fair, pretty fair. But I’ve held a more wonderful band than that" “Beally?” “Yes. Once I was playing whist and dealt myself a hand of thirteen trumps." “Great Scott!” “And the funniest part of the matter is that I only took one trick." “Impossible!” “No, It’s not I played last and trumped my partner’s ace. He was a hasty man, and before I could explain matters he lost bls temper, and the game broke up In a row there and then. Funny game whist Isn't it? My deal, 4 think."
