"Mother is sick and your being here
worries her."
"After I've played a few hands more,
Effle. I've had n loug run of bad luck,
which is sure to, turn."
The clergyman from the moment the
girt entered was visibly affected by
her presence. Going to the table, he
looked over the game for awhile, then
I Postmaster Klndell received the
| following letter from Seattle Septem
I ber 2 :
! Dear Sir: ? lam writing these few
I lines to see if you can give me any
information about Mr. John Sturm,
1 vtho died somewhere np in Alaska.
Wo racelved news from Germany of
his death in Alaska and that the au
thorities had been trying to locate
his sister as he left quite a fortune,
but we couldn't find what portion of
Alaska he died in.
If you could get any information
about him we would be pleased to
have you inform his sister, Mrs. John
M. Heib. who's maiden name was El
irabpth Sturm. He address is 774
John St., Seattle, Wash.
P. S. He was a man about 55 years
tild. rather tall with dark hair.
I'll see what I can do to m over your
looses." Every one looked up at tho
speaker surprised, especially the man
addressed. He rose, leaving seven or
eight dollars on the table, and, telling
his daughter to go home and say to her
mother that he would be there soon,
stood looking over the game.
His fellow gamesters were Ave *ton!
pigeons and one card sharp. They had
fleeced the man who bad given up Ida
place out of nearly all the money he
possessed. The clergyman steadily
won. but in small amounts, till he hid
increased the pile before him to sev
eral hundred dollars. Then the card
sharp gave his stool pigeons a look and
opened the nest hand for a Jack pot
All stayed In for one round, then drop
ped out ou the second, and on the third
the betting was loft to the card sharp
and the clergyman, who continued to
raise each other till the pot resembled
a miniature mountain.
By this time there were a number of
lookers on. and the excitement waxed
high. A clergyman playing against
Dave Simpson, who was known for
the slickest card sharp at Dead Mans
Gulch, was nn Interesting sight to see.
When the two men tired of raising
each other Simpson "called" the cler
gyman. This by the rules of the game
compelled the latter to show his hand
first, an evident disadvantage to him.
playing wiUi a light fingered oppo
nent who might Increase his hand aft
er knowing what the clergyman held.
The broad brim of the parson's cleri
cal felt hat was pulled down over his
eyes, and his cards were held close un
der them. ITesently he said mildly:
"1 see four kings In my hand, and
nothing will beat four kings except
four aces. Since I've got an ace. too.
there's no way for you to beat me ex
cept by Introducing an ace from an
other pack, which would, to say the
least, be Irregular. I'm going to show
my cards, and If you have that fifth
ace I'd advise yon to keep It dark."
The speaker seemed to be troubled
by an Itching at the back of his neck
and put a hand up to scratch When
he withdrcr hL: hand he held in it a
knife eight Inches long, which he held
over his opponent The latter retained
| his nerve, sitting motionless.
"Tou're no parson." he said. "Who
are you?"
"I am a clergyman of the Methodist
Episcopal church. My name Is James
Sykes, formerly a desperado and black
leg. but reformed."
Throwing his cards on the table, he
told the man for whom he played to
scoop In the pot.
Every one had he*rd of Jim Sykes,
and not a man among the gamblers
dared to tackle him. He went home
with the man he had befriended and
on arrival said:
"You people have forgotten me, bnt
I haven't forgotten you. Once wben
a posse was after me to hang me this
young lady, then a slip of a girl, hid
me and saved my neck. Those funds
are a small token of my gratitude."
He took the girl's hand in his and
looked into her eyes with his. which
wore full of gratitude.
"I remember," she said, "six or sev
en years ago a young man coming to
our house and telling me that he was
hunted for his life, but he could not
possibly be you. He was a frightful
looking object. Ton, on the contrary,
are the personification of all that is
good."
"And what made the change In me?
TDe little girt wno savea my me. i
resolved that her effort should not be
In vain. I determined to Uve for the
good Instead of the bad. I was con
verted by an evangelist and Joined the
Methodist church. Now I am a work
er In the vineyard of the Lord."
And before he left he had secured a
helpmeet to work with him tn his new
field. The couple worked exclusively
among the roughest classes, for which
labor on account of his experience with
them the hnsbaDd was eminently fit
ted. There are a number of these

W. M. Jones, 4037 1-2 Twenty-fourth

ing the correctness of the statement
my wife gave in August 1907, telling
of my experience with Doan's Kidney

pains In my back and when I lifted
or brought any strain on the muscles
of my loins, I was in misery. This
trouble made me very nervous and I
seemed unable to get any permanent
relief from the doctor's treatment.
Finally I began the use of Doan's
Kidney Pills, and benefit Boon fol
lowed. Before long my pains and
aches had disappeared entirely. At
intervals since then I have noticed
slight recurrences of the trouble, but
at such times Doan's Kidney Pills
have brought prompt and satisfactory
relief. I feel justified In vouching for
their merits."

A Dcteetive Story.
I like detective stories; 1 read them,
I write them, but I do not believe
them. The l>ones and structure of n
good detective story are so old nnd
well known that It may seem banal to
state them even in outline. A police
man, stupid, bat sweet tempered, nnd
always weakly erring on the side ot
mercy, walks along the street, nnd In
the course of his ordinary business
finds n man In Bulgnrlan uniform kill
ed with an Australian boomerang In
a Brompton milk shop. (laving set
free all the most suspicious persons In
the story, be then appeals to the bull
dog professional detective, who ap
peals to the hawklike amateur detec
tive. The latter finds near the corpse
a boot lace, a button boot, a French
newspaper nnd a return ticket from
the Hebrides, and so relentlessly, link
by link, brings the crime home to the
archbishop of Canterbury.? T. K Ches
