by card sharpers, on theday of the
eilecus. ,111r•. Forgiv, tbrou li a •:sugar-
coate(i, chance acquaintance, was .in-

social•' sharks, profeasinnal 'gamblers.:
It was the old story ! • The victim was
at first allowed . to " tvin-Mr. Fergie
turning up the : lucky card for $1,000.
The player then refused to payover
the motley till Mr.. Forgie should show
that.1 a was a •respotisible midi, and
even hinted that Mr. Fergie wasn't
worth $1,000. This at once touched
the old . •gentleman's - vanity, and
straightway he heated down to Scott's
Bank, drew the•requisite $1,000, and,
proceeding to the scene'of operations;
shook the money in the gambler's face:
The sharper .made lightof the .matter.
and suggested that there night .be but.
a few dollars, when Mr. ]forgte threw
down .the bills and told him to count
them. Bootless boast 1 That - was, the
last Mr.• Forgie saw of his money. 13e
