I The 6ood _Pokcr Player
( Once upon a timo n good potior
player died and went to heuven.
After awhile the quietnesn wore
on his nerves wbion cuused lilui
to worry and he began to mo|>e.
One day ^8t. Peter came along
and asked him what was the
matte —if he wasn't happy. The
Ktod poker player told him he
waa happy, but—but he would
like to píay a game of poker.
St. Peter told him they didn't
lay poker in heaven: that they
played "down below," and con-
tinued on hln round , This in-
formation didn't seem to satisfy
tlie good poker player and he
continued to mope. When 8t.
Peter came «long again he saw
the good poker, player wan dis-
tressed and asked him if he
wasn't happy. The g. p. p. «aid
he was doing his best to behapp.v
but lie would like to have a game
of poker. St. Peter .told him
that he always liked to please his
people and if he thought a game
would do him any good he would
let him no 'Mown below," and
handed him a raturn ticket.
When the good poker player
got "down there" be saw long
halls with minis on either side.
In some rooms they wereplay-
ing jkh)I and billiards, in others
they were shooting craps and
smoking cigarettes, and further
on ln> cam' to a room when1
three men sat at a table playing
po'ter. He went in and watched
the game a few minutes and ask-
ed for some chips. The iianker
told him it took money to get in
that game. This kmx-ked him.
He went out anil returned pre
gently with a roll of bills in his
hand, and told the banker to give
him worth of chips. The
banker gnve him the chips, took
the monej and asked him where
In* pit it. "I sold m,y return
ticket to heaven," said the good
poker pi t.ver. Then he awoke
'twas but a <1 ream.

•erfsant Leflferty of the —nth ma-
chine gun battalion stopped before the
Hotel Joeelyn. ami experienced a se-
vere («se of "nerveM." otherwise "blue
funk," aa some of the Hngllali mates
bad called It. wbereua tbe sergeant pre-
ferred "cold feet"
The number wus right, but he had
uot expected to Und It on a hotel nor
In such a locality. Khe was probably
one of these society girls that had gone
Into relief work nml expected u hero In
every prise package.
He walked slowly uround tbe block,
and camu to n standstill once more he
fore the pivotal door and tbe large
£|iins portico. Well, be would go In.
he bad decided. She hud asked lilui to.
und be wouldn't lie a quitter, lie
xlepped to ttie desk and asked for Ml
Marie Leumlre In u tone that dared the
"lerk to question or smile.
"Miss Lemalre?" replied the desk
clerk. "No such name registered Inyo.
Mias Dnlton, anyone named Letnulre
on your phone list?"
"It's about eight months ago since I
beard from her," rhe sergeant ex-
plained. feeling his collar growing
tighter.
The clerk flipped hack the pages of
ihe register and ran down the list of
as mea.
"There were the irlrla on the over
seaa committee last summer," suggest-
ed tbe girl ut tbe switchboard. "I think
Miss Allen has their names still. NVas
she tull and brunette?"
Tbe sergeant flushed ut this, warmly.
How the devil did he know what she
looked like. He unswvred warily thai
he had uot seen her In Home time. And
all the while there was the leather
•-Igarette case In his inner pocket «nil
the little slip of paper Inside. Just as
H
went over lone ago. She
too—a very Sne young eaptala. I aw
so sorry."
Toinette must have read the look en
the sergeant's face aa he turned his cap
over and over In hla handa doubtfully.
ft wasn't the disappointment of not
flndlng her. or of learning that ahe had
married tbe French captain, but some-
•hlng far deeper. He had hoped at Bret
glance that Toinette was Marie and
had sen* the case of dgareMee which
bad been their link of romance. Now
there was no link, and he felt like an
Interloper.
"If you're writing to hpr. Just aay I'm
eery much obliged," he aald rather
huskily. "I'd rather have had those
cigarettes than anything. Just when
they were handed to me."
"Oh. then I am glad," cried Toinette
eagerly. "She wanted to aend you
socks; remember, mamtnu? And I said
no, no; to send the cigarettes. And also
I wrote the message because Marie Is
very, very shy, and never would she
have any romance at alt unless some-
body sent It to her. So I thought 1
would tlnd a hero for her, but she
found hint herself, after all."
The sergeant drew a deep sigh of
relief. Mudume was smiling at him und
hurrying to prepare tea. Before he real-
Ixed It lie found he woe at hla Journey's
end nnd was occupying the seut of
honor at the Lematre table, and the
decoration ley beside Tolnette'a plate
He told them of bis long search for
the sender of the gift, and of his lone-
liness In New York.
"It's nil right to get welcomed back
with whistles and flags, but see! you'd
ylve anything to have somebody who
belongs to yon that really cares that
you're hack," he said earnestly, and
the flush rose to Tolnette's cheeks as
she assured him they were very, very
chid to see him, and he must make
their little home his headquarters now.
If only to let them make up to him for
the loss of Msrle.
Hut when Toinette went to the outer
door with him after a long visit o'
hour he spoke to her bluntly.
"After you've lived from day to daj
you don't take any chances on !o«¡!n ¡
nnv happiness that way coine your
«ay. Ml s Toinette, and I want to tell
you i-U-ht now that If you let tne Kef

for me until 1 can persuade you to
chance It to something else? Oth« r\v!s<
I'll stop comlux any more."
"I'lense," Toinette drew a deep
brenth for courage, "piense, you musí
coine for luncheon tomorrow. And for
dinner on Sunday, you know. I—I will
wear the decoration for Marie's sake.'
"Then you'll wear the other for your
own," promised the sergeant blithely.
