That night Julian Maran. a young planter, atrpped aboard the with one or two of hi* friend* who were already there', opened the game Maran had sold hi* plantation and negroes and Va* going to Baton Rouge ‘ marry UU sweetheart and take up l residence there. The money be had t ejjeid wa* tu t>ank except a hundred '“dollar*, with which he proposed amuse blmaelf on the flatboat. He added considerably to hla hundred dc*. tars during the evening and. Wing chlralrott* fellow, conaldered blmaelf bound to go back the next day and gl’ ' the bank a chance for “revenge.'' In few day* the fortune he bad In bank wa* every cent tranaferred to the safe In the flatboat That waa a curious age If there are chlralrooa professional gambler* now. we hear nothing of them. There were chivalrous gambler* . then, and they made their Influence felt Perbap* It wa« because gambling had not then been left »o far behind other mean* of making a living a* It Is gambling propensity baa developed Into more legitimate forms. Be this a* It may. as Maran wa» parting with the remnant of his fortune. Uustai Hug. a professional gambler, who bad once been a respectable planter, boarded the flatloat. He had left “the pre> fession" and with hi* winnings had lough! Maran'* plantation. When Maran had parted with hi* last dollar. Sterling walked tip-on to the river bank

with him.

“Permit me to aay. auh.” he *ald to Maran. “that I have seen many fools In my life, and yo' ari one of the big gesL Even when a gambler plays faT the advantage I* with him. The men on this boat are of the lowest kind of

swindlers.”

Maran. maddened, was shoo! to retort angrily, when Sterling pulled a / roll of bill* from. hU pocket and coo- / tinned: “To*,go down tba' tonight with thl* and start In again. Don't play to win. Play only to be In the game. I'll he tba'. and take a hand myself. Have a gun lu yo' pocket, sub.” Maran tried to express hi* grail lode, but Slerling turned away and went to aeek a few of the former'* friend*. That evening Maran. Sterling and two other* whom Sterling had asked to be [•resent o|>ened the game on the flat lK»at. The owner of the outfit and two assistants were of the party, seven In all They had played an hour or more when a Jackpot wa* opened, and the pile on the table grew moualy. Suddenly Sterling clapped one hand down on the money aqj! whipped out a. gun with the otbei: At the uye moment Maran and hla two friends dreV their wea| * ervd the three professional*. The coop waa effected so .(Ulckly that not one of the Utter wa* able to draw. “Put yo' arm* on the tabic." ordered Sterling, raking off tba money Into hi* hat.
