With an ostentatious flourish Mr. Lucky Broad placed a crisp ten-dollar bill in an eager palm outstretched across his folding-table. The gentleman wins and the gambler loses! Mr. Broad proclaimed to the world. The eye is quicker than the hand, and the dealer's moans is music to the stranger's ear. With practised touch he rearranged the three worn walnut-shells which constituted his stock in trade. Beneath one of them he deftly concealed a pellet about the size of a five-grain allopathic pill. It was the erratic behavior of this tiny ball, its mysterious comings and goings, that had summoned Mr. Broad's audience and now held its observant interest. This audience, composed of roughly dressed men, listened attentively to the seductive monologue which accompanied the dealer's deft manipulations, and was greatly entertained thereby.
