Intrfore with
It was hard to stop the big Sheriff on
such nn errand as ho had begun but the j
others sided with Greonhut and at length
he yielded though with n bad grooo As
they all doubtod his powers of solfrestraint
It was agreed that he should not play In tho
gamo but that ho should 13 at liberty t
act as ho cost after tho stranger had hd
his chance
Soon after this was settled tho man with
a glass eye appeared and stripping to tho
bar invited the house t drink
Even Bassett waspuzod by his appear
anco which was not at the first glance much
like tho Ono Eyp they bad known but when
thoy recalled Mr Oven Poppers account
of his disguise they concluded that ho was
the man they wore looking for
I was certain that he was looking for a
pokor game for ho Mid so frankly after
settling for his drinks and It was equally
certain that he could be accommodated
though only a four handed game was
made up Batselt remained In tho front
rooyn with old man Groonhut and Winter
bottom Foarsnll and Blalsdell sit In
Producing a small roll of 10 bills the
pouclnl Imll rol
stranger called for MOO In chips ator loam
Ing that table stakes was tim usual rule
of the game The othors said nothing but
each silently handed old man Groenhut
WOO and took chIns for that amount Then
they lookod at the man with a glass eye
I If expecting to heir from him
Looks like somebody d hove t buy
again before long dont It he observed
cheerfully but without showing any In
tention to dig You cant always tell
Mebbo Itll bo mo I
M twill said WlnlerboUonv dryly
n he shuffled tho card but no ono had any
suggestion to mke and they cut for the
deal which fell toPearsill
It was tho strangers Ante and he put up
15 call S10 rather ostentatiously aa If t de
clare that he was no pier and the action
began promptly
Blalsdell came in Wlnterbottom trailed
n Peorsnll raised It 10 The stranger
skinned hil hand carefully and raised bnoc
Then BUUftdell dropped and Wlnterbottom
raised It 12 Pearsall tie and the
stranger pushed his pie forward saying
never a word
Wlnterbottom covered It and put up an
other 10 which PeorsMl understood to
mean that ho was not needed BO he dropped
and nicked un the cards for the draw
You mleht help your nil said the
stranger with a grin after Wlnterbottom
had drawn down g outside money and
tho latter promptly called for two cards t
his three aces He did not better and tho
stranger showed down a small straight
Every little bit help he sold Joyously
8 he scooped the pot and mae ready to
deal In his turn
Blatsiell put up the same ante and Pear
sill and Wlnterbottom dropped having
nothing The stranger came In and Blals
dell raised It J10 whereupon the stranger
again pushed his whole stack forward
After a little hesitation Blalsdell saw the
bet thinking aa ho explained afterward
that it was a bluff and having aoea up H
ole fo one card and the stranger took
two Neither Improved and the stranger
showed down three sevens
Kind of ovens thlns up a little he
sold good naturcdly aa he scooped the
second pot but nono of th others spoke
On BlalsieHs deal they made a jackpot
and after Wlnterbottom had given out
cards the stranger opened for tho site of
the pot or HO
He seemed at least confident In his luck
for when Blalsdell raised It 40 and Winter
bottom boosted it again possibly with an
idea of a double cross the stranger ono
I more pushed his pile forward
Pearaall was already out and neither of
the others cared to stay so the opener
showed down a pair of klngsny and took
his third pot
Hevwas just beginning another jovial
remark calculated to harrow the losers
when tho door of tho card room opened and
n stalwart countryman entered with a gun
in each hand Levelling them both at the
stranger he said
hands up Bill I aint takin no chances
this time
AIL right said the man with a glass
eye elevating his hands promptly Youve
got the drop on me and Im not taking
chances myself but Bay Im doing right
well in this game Let me play a little
while longer wont you
Not much said countryman Youll
name with me right now and ho snapped
snpp
handcuffs on the others wrists with quick
dexterity
Then turing to the Arkansas City men
Greenhut and Bassett having followed him
Into the rOQm he said
Sorry to break up your game pente
but theres big price on this mans head
an he goes back to New Madrid with me
on the next boat Hes wanted up there
fr murder an Im 1 depty sheriff
Then on Oreenhuts demand he dis
played a document which that worthy
recognized a a warrant and Insisted on
tailing his prisoner aay forthwith The
only delay he permitted was for the pur
pose of allowing the man with a glass ye
t cash In his chips And the next boat
up the river took the two away
The gloom in old man Groenbuts saloon
was not dissipated before Mr Owen Popper
happened In again and they told him what
had happened reproaching him with bitter
InJuUc for having misled them into mis
taking this particular stranger for the
original one eyed man

O STUFEED PEPPERS iI
Major and Mrs Max Consider Two I
Topic of the Hour at
the Same Time
Mrs Max had had brought t her and
set forth on the otherwise cleared dining
tabloBomo green bell peppers some lemons I
caviar and other foodstuffs which engaged
her thoughtful and tho Majors lively in
terest Mrs Max was measuring with a I
tape tho middle circumference of the lemon
and tK tops of the peppers
Yol weigh things sometimes remarked
tho Major and measure them in receptacles
sometimes but this surveying engineer
work Is new t me Are wo t have some
thing t cat which has first been triangulated
Ins It were whoso curves and gradients have
been established
Im going t try the Churchill popper
Mrs Max replied and I must hate two
slcC of l Tot which are wIde enough to
o tho tops of two peppers I find it will
takaralhcr largo lemons and medium shod
peppers
Its Russian originally but Russia la so
far away and soso anarchistic I thought
Id tr tho recipe for us first before I
taught the cook though to ho sure M
JackwMr a Russian peasant blouse pat
tern for an automobile coat BO she would
probably like them anyway
Tho effect of a taste In clothes on tho
taste In food is something which Interests
mo deeply the Major said I think it
would do rather well a the subject for 1
chapter In my book Isnt there something I
about the HnarU having the taste of a coat i
thats too tight In the waist I
First however I must try t analyze
the subject of popular amusements I
have soon it recently stated that tho Salome
loins dance is the chief attraction at seven
frt class theatres four rof gardens
six vaudeville shows and ono negro min
strel show The opera season of course
IB yet to come
Now I cut off tho blunt end of these two
the stein end for the
peppers to stm you see te
pulp there Is not as highly flavored as at
the other end toopointed end The caps
I cut off are throwli away
Mrs Mux was suiting her actions t her
words nnd when she had scraped the pulp
amp
and seeds from the headless peppers leav I
ing a firm wall of rind sho put the pulp
and seeds on I plate and directed the Major
to throw out tho white seeds
While ypu are doing that she added
I will 0 chopping up fine two cloves of
garlic and when you have removed tho
mode then chop up the pulp and mix It wit
the garlic Why Salome I
I I owing the Major replied con
scientiously busying himself with his task
to a revival of Interest in the Bible A
of those who know the
course only te story
a part of which the dance Is supposed t
Illustrate interpret is the word though
can havo any possible Interest in the dance
the fact that there n not thrtl enough
open in New York to accommodate these
students shows how great and widespread
II that revival
Ten we have them finely chopped and
mixed I shall need a little sau tome to moisten
them I hadnt thought of the theatres as
Bible classes but such curious things do
happen Why do they dance
Interpretation n I was saying the
Major explained chopping vigorously
You see the head of John comes In Of
course i comes in after John b expressed
his views aa to Herod and Herods sister
b voa ut a Hea
inlaw Her When th bead of John I
comes In the other parts of him do not
because they have parted company
It appears that Herodias who was Mrs
Philip as it were became peevish over a
point of view which John not only held but
expressed to Hero Tho story I ono calcu
lated greatly to Interest such New Yorkers
as crowd the roof gardens and negro min
strel shows where it ia being interpreted
and it is educational in the higher thought
theatre managers to aid this as I were
higher Bible criticism
That they profit by it is no matter They
cant help that The point is that they a I
determined to push along this revival f
Biblical study np matter how little their
Salome may bo willing to wear so long A
the police do not interfere
Now said Mrs Max after studying her
recipe we mix the two the popper pulp
and the garlic moisten them into a fn
paste with the sauterne about like that I
I suppose and let them season each other i
while I prepare the caps
Sho cut thick slices from the middle of
tW9 lemons and pared fit only the yellow
I
oftheir rinds loving the white part i
But what she asked does Salome
have to do with the head of John in the
te
dance I thought she danced before poor
Jbhns head was cut off not after p
Thats the way It was In my Bible
It that horrid Herodias
I was hord woman Herl
who wanted the head Its all dreadful
anyway and not a bit like a vaudeville
scorns to me Please open tho caviar
But your Bible and tho Bible of New
York theatre managers differ perhaps
tho Major suggested doing as he had been
directed with the caviar jar Their Blblo
seems t tel thorn or they may loam this
from profane sources that Sajomo Hero
odioss daughter did not share her mommas
disesteem o John but on tho contrary
quite otherwise
This Interesting state of affairs lends a
zest to the stage interpretation which I
should think must b much enjoyed by
those who enjoy that sort of thing I is
evidence of a refinement in public taste
which should much encourage the theatres
What am I to do with this caviar
Now said Mrs Max Ive got t think
I must odd t this mixed popper pulp
garlic and wine enough caviar to stuff tho
peppers I think Ill give tho whole mix
ture caviar and all a good stirring first
Nearly everything is bettor to a good
stirring you know
Yes Indeedl declared the Major Even
tho public conscience would stand a little
of it and possibly if a few more vaudeville
shows and negro minstrels kindly consent
t interpret theBible for usas they know
the Bible the public conscience may bestirred I
stirred What do you do next
Mrs Max had stuffed her peppers capped
eachwith its slice of lemon and looked about
for something which would hold them in
the oven cap sides up For this purpose
she decided upon a muffin tin and It
dcldo v an
answered the purpose
1 a t bake tem in a very hot ovon
until the shells show signs of sagging
Then they will bo done Now If these crea
tures pretend that Salome loved John
what a preposterous notion t mako her
dance with the head
You aremlataken my dear said the
Major dutifully following Mrs Max Into
the kitchen and putting the experimental
poppers Into the hot oven for her
J But the recipe says BO doled the
lndybalie until the shells begin t sag
take from the ovon and serve at once
BuLl was referring to your thought that
Idea for the dancer to
it was a preposterous to daoer t
use a property head of John t dance with
under the circumstance discovered 1 by C j

I hope no other city will exceed UB In the

I b booomo a habit of late among

there is an aroma which ascending t
heaven will direct the nostrils of angels
earthward Do let me open tho oven and
i look at thorn
The look confirmed tho Majors fondest
hopes the bright and shiny skins x > f the
popper were dull and wrinkled
Theyre done exclaimed Mrs Max
Anyway she declared as a little later
the Major was addressing his individual
attention t the trial dish his usually calm
eyes lighted in rapt delight I dont think
tbo Bible needs any Interpretation by
lancing creature
Not forgetting the negro minstrels tho
Major saId between mouthfuls

Tit TIDES AXIt MOSQUITOES
DI IInt or Drainage Ulto rs I SImple
I PreventIve of Pert Invasions
It is not generally known that the responsibility
sponsibility for the mosquitoes which
scourge the Atlantic coast rests primarily
with the tides which for a fe days each
month rise to n height considerably above
the normal
On these days the sea water enters Into
numerous pockets and depressions along
the edges of the uplands which are not
reached by the ordinary tides and is there
trapped t form stagnant pools undisturbed
till the nod high tide It is in the places
that the salt marsh mosquftocs Culex sol
HoIUns are bred They may b easily
recognized by the black and white rings
on their legs and they fly long distances
The eggs are laid In the mud and den
velopmont starts with thoarrival of the
high water In a few days they are on the
wing This account for their sudden ap
pearance in hon
prnc
It Is a common error to believe that they
breed all over the salt marshes If they did
the seashore regions would be uninhabitable
rgoM
by man On the contrary there is no
larvadde equal t fresh sea water it Is
vastly cbopr than kerosene and is auto
matically applied No mosquitoes treed In
n cos flushed by the daily tides the eggs
ami larvto are washed out anddevoured by
the small fish
It is therefore extremely and simple
I 1 thorfor oxrmely cheap ad i
to out ditches into the higher pools along
tho uplands which will cause them t 0
flushed by the tide every day This is the
principle which h been followed in the
work that has been done on parts of Long
Island and New Jersey looking toward tho
extermination of the peat
Of course this can not stop Invasions
from outside regions but I serves t pre
vent the Invaders breeding In the neigh
borhoodand vastly improves the situation
territories
over large trrtorl
Most farmers whO acres border on tho
salt marshes could stop brooding on their
place by two or > three days work In cutting
ditches I is not t b expected that this
I simple fact will over penetrate their skulls
or that If It does they will take the trouble
t dig the ditches until some enlightened
Legislafuro roaieo it a misdemeanor for
any onot maintain such a pestiferous
nuo U 1 mmqulto hatchery and com
pels enforcementtof the law
There are many miles o both the north
and south sides of Long Island and oJoriK
the Sound such for Instance as the marshes
at the mouth of the Bronx where mosquitoes
quitoes aro produced In large numbers
unhampered by any attempt at restraint
From the regions they drift on the light
winds t Now cork city and other distant
places as we have been forcibly reminded
In the past weeks That such Invasions
without la recognised those
are w1out excuse 1 rgnl by tho
who have studied the subject

for getting excit about anything unless
as Loulo shrewdly remarks It has oopy
sticking out all over It Copy ls anything >
you can sell to a newspaper
Very well then Louie learned that ibo
Thirteenth precinct police station at the
corner of Delanoey and Attorney Itt
ia t be demolished just as soon a the now t j
station at Dolancey and Clinton can bo
built Instantly Loulo all lit up as baa
boon said scattered himself broadcast
looking for readable material t lend a <
air of verisimilitude t othorwlso bald g
and unconvincing narrative When Louis
got himself together ha wept with joy
I for figured out that the readable details f
I ne h gathered would measure three 0
four columns But he b not had largo
experience In judging the size ala bunch
of copy before and after it h passed
through the planing mill over in the comer
where the copy readers sit No Indeed
However the points of the tlpatand i
out fairly well To begin with the front
thir of the station house as It stands to
day was built In 1708 a a watch house
Note Call up the reporter covering the
Building Department rpr him t dig
out something t verify aft t1
I was used na station for the night
watch consult Mrs Lamb t BOO what
the cops were called then until the early
40s then for I time as a engine house
by the old Volunteer Fire Department
and In 1850 again used MI polloe Station

Old Pop Gibson could give jtto
stuff on this point culdgyesmo <
The reporter startIng out with thorn and
many other hint was lucky enough to find
tho present doorman of the old watoh
house t b Matthew MoCuUough who
with the other members of the Second Tire
Zouaves enlisted in the fiovontyflrst Now

Matthew sold Ule thorn wasnt worth
swapping yarns o taking a drink with

laythere and old Six which lay over In
Henry street when volunteers used t have
u
fights that were fights And yet again
whats more who was one of the noted
fighting members of old Six Oh nobodg
nobody at all of ourl Only a husky
young chap named TeBi Tweed
Perhaps you hoard ot him remarked
Matthew McCulIough
This was moro than confirmation of
Tha W8 mor
Louies fondest assertions aa t the histori
cal value of the old building so soon tb
demollhe Aa Doorman McCulIough fig
ured it out the old watch house was a two
story brick building about 45 feet on each
of Delanoey and Attorney streets This
la a story less than the present building and
only onethird of the present depth But
evidence was found In the present coal hole
where old Fortyone used to lay t corroborate
roborate Doorman McCulIougha views
Dr
The present coal hole wee ono on Dft
lanoey street 0 but that it Is now at
the foot of a steep flight of stairs not th <
fault of the old watch houaej For the last
generation or so they have been building
and rebuilding the approach to the Williams
burg Bridge along Delanooy street In that
neighborhood and succeeding jataffa of
engtnoora have had differing Ideas as t v
what should bo the final level of Delanoey
stieet First they lowered it so that cus
tomers of th neighboring shops bad to
climb a stepladder to get into the ground
floor Then they raised it so that the step
ladders came in handy t climb sp
the ground floor Since this second level ir
there b been a successive series of levels
which has ucOve shopkeepers to
connect their main floor with the street
with by a bridge ferryboats suohas connects ferry wharves
However down in the coaL hole MoGul
lou had the reporter found still in placb
original building material which seemed to
bear out Lightning Louies hard earned
reputation for facts exact They are such
building material such well made brick
and mortar and solid oak beams A would 1 l
o
give tho building another century of life
were it not doomed to make way for a synagogue

at the southeast comer of Clinton and D

These are the buildings which are t make
wry for the new police station and they are
historical because bock of them Is a vacant

acre of land which within the memory of
people of the neighborhood was a dairy
