Animal Friendship
1 Among the strangest cases of
animal friendship known is that
existing in the London zoo be
tween a West African chameleon
and a green-tree viper, both of
wh’ch are about a foot long. Most
of the time the snake is curled up
on the back of the chameleon.
One of the most vexing questions
facing women shoppers every
Christmas is: What shall I get for
him? The perfect solution for ev
ery male is quite a problem—but
so far tills seems like a perfect
choice. If he’s a cigarette smoker,
give him a carton of cigarettes.
And if you wisely choose Camels
—he’ll be twice as grateful—for
that’s probably his own brand. All
over America—more people are
smoking Camels than ever before!
Now, if his highness prefers a pipe
—give him Prince Albert Smoking
Tobacco—the National Joy Smoke.
Special holiday gift wrappings
make both Camels and Prince Al
bert particularly desirable choices.
Camels are conveniently packed
—ten packs of flavorful, mild ciga
rettes to a carton . . . Prince Al
bert is handsomely wrapped in one
pound moisture-proof containers.
Even a card is unnecessary for
these gifts—space is provided for
a personalized Christmas greet
ing. Your dealer is featuring holi
day-wrapped Camels and Prince
Albert now!—Adv.

S AVAGELY, old Adam Courtney
twisted his cigar-yellowed mous
tache. From the parlor sofa, the
muffled sobs of Diana, his shapely
and lovely young daughter, ex
pressed an unshakable defiance. He
glared at her with all the anger a
deep love would permit.
“I—I AM going to marry Jim
Bailey," she chanted monotonously.
“I don’t care if he HASN’T got the
money he ought to have to start in
business. I don’t care if he HAS
only — three thousand Instead of
six." The slender legs kicked hys
terically. A slipper flew across the
room. “I LOVE him, doggone him!
I LOVE himl"
Grimly, Adam Courtney went for
his hat and his heavy cane. Grimly
he left the house. He knew where to
find Jim Bailey. Barred from calling
on Diana, he would be waiting at
the club—the big social and athletic
club—for her to join him for the
dance tonight.
In the old days on the West Coast,
he thought angrily, a matter such
as this might have
been settled with a
.45. Now business
and money and con
vention had over
taken him — after
his marriage, late
in life.
Diana was all he
had, since the
young wife he
adored had died in childbirth. Ever
since that day, his only child had
been his only interest, taking the
place of her mother before her.
Never before this had she defied
him, turned from his love to the love
of someone else. As things stood to
night, however, he had lost her—un
less somehow he could hold her
back.
Purely this called for desperate
measures. As he stalked into the
club, he spied the ruddy, muscular
young object of his quest. In tha
blpck and white of dinner clothes,
Jim Bailey sat watching a game in
the busy card room. Jim rose, and
the table fell silent, as the grim old
man came up.
"Jim Bailey.” Adam Courtney
■thundered, “are you man enough to
take a gamble?”
Jim Bailey simply stared.
“I understand you have three
thousand in the savings bank,” old
Courtney said. "I’ll put up two dol
lars to every one of yours. Give you
two to one on every bet. Six thous
and to three thousand, table stakes.
If you lose—you will agree to leave
my daughter alone.”
"And what if I win?” asked Jim
Bailey.
"Win?" Adam Courtney’s bony
face paled. “Win—you marry her,
sir, of course.”
Jim Bailey hesitated, and the
whole room stopped breathing. Ev
erybody understood the struggle
that had been going on between him
and Diana, on the one hand, and
Diana's father on the other. Under
ordinary circumstances, no one
would expect him to agree to risk
losing his money and his hope of
future happiness on the turn of a
card. But suddenly it had dawned on
everybody that this situation was
not ordinary.
Only two weeks before, the old
man had caned a newspaper editor
who had intimated that Adam Court
ney, in the old days on the Coast,
had been a professional gambler.
No one believed a word of the accu
sation. But now, to refuse publicly
to play would tell the world you be
lieved what the editor had written,
and were afraid of being rooked.
Jim Bailey wet his lips. "Do you
want to play with chips, sir, or
cash?—but even money!”

THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY. S. C.
looked at his cards. Without hesita
tion, he pushed an equal amount
forward.
Then each drew cards. Jim Bailey
held up three cards and drew two.
Adam Courtney asked fdr but one.
The old man looked at the card.
Quickly he pushed forward his
whole remaining pile.
'T'HE spectators glanced at one an-
-*■ other. Some thought they had
glimpsed the two hands. To start
with, as they afterward explained,
Jim Bailey had held three aces,
Adam Courtney three kings. On the
draw it seemed that Jim, with three
aces pat, had caught two queens.
Thus he had the highest possible
full-house on this deal. But the old
man had caught another king, and
held four—the winning hand.
Would Jim Bailey put up his whole

The money in Jim’a hand told her the rest.
The grim old man ignored her.
She ran to her father,
"Cash!" said Adam Courtney
grimly.
Next evening, each bearing his
stake of three thousand dollars, they
took their seats in the card room.
“Draw poker," announced Adam
Courtney, tearing open the pack.
“Table stakes. And," he leaned
across the table and looked Jim
Bailey in the eye, "a gentleman's
agreement!”
"Okay," Jim BaUey said. “Will
you cut, sir?”
Open gambling was not permitted
in the club. But what employee would
dare stop this? Like wildfire the
news spread. Members hurried in
just in time to see the old man lose
five hundred dollars on a full house,
against Jim Bailey's four tens.
At first, luck seemed to favor Jim
BaUey. But presently the calm,
grim old man began to win.
Then the old man lost three large
bets. The stacks of money stood
about even again—each three thou
sand doUars.
Jim BaUey dealt. Adam Courtney
looked at his cards. He counted out
five hundred doUars. Jim BaUey

pUe and caU the old man’s bet? If
he did, the game was over. He
would, lose his money, and Diana,
too.
Jim Bailey’s hand shook as he
riffled his remaining pile. Since the
old man hardly had held four-of-a-
kind to start with, and had drawn
but one card, the odds were forty to
one against his now having four-of-
a-kind or better. Suddenly, his face
no longer ruddy, Jim BaUey pushed
his whole pile forward.
“1 caU, sir,” he said. He spread
out his hand. "I’ve got a fuU-house—
aces over queens.”
Then occurred one of those dis
turbing interruptions which explain
the new screens at the card room
door. There was a cry and a com
motion. and Diana, Adam Court
ney’s daughter, appeared in the
doorway, staring in at the players.
She was dressed to go to the
dance. Her hair was arranged in the
style of twenty years ago. In a
white satin dress which had be
longed to her mother, she looked (as
an elderly member said) the spit
ting image of Adam Courtney’s
dead wife.
Old Adam Courtney glanced up,
stared, as at a ghost. Heaven only
knows what memory — perhaps of
his and his wife’s glowing early hap
piness—passed through his mind.
He drew a deep, slow breath. His
cane dropped and clattered. His
white head disappeared beneath the
table as he retrieved the cane from
the floor.
This distraction lasted but a mo
ment. Then Adam Courtney sat up
and faced Jim BaUey. Leaning awk
wardly forward, his left hand heavy
on the table, the old man turned his
own cards up, one by one.
THE KING OF MAMONDS.
"OneI” the crowd breathed. THE
KING OF HEARTS. "Two!” the
crowd whispered. THE KING OF
CLUBS. "Three!” the crowd mur
mured. Then he turned — THE
QUEEN OF DIAMONDS.
It was his last card.
Not only had he faUed to catch
the king of spades on the draw, ap
parently he had drawn but one card,
when he should have drawn two. He
held only four cards, a worthless
hand.
The grim old man had lost! Jim
BaUey had won, not only the old
man’s three thousand, but his
daughter.
Jim BaUey gathered in aU the
money. He stood up, holding it in his
hand. Everyone watched Adam
Courtney’s daughter as Jim BaUey
crossed to where she stood framed
in the doorway.
She touched Jim’s arm—and hesi
tated. Of course she had been told
what was up. The money in Jim’s
hand told her the rest. She ran to
her father. The grim old man ig
nored her. She put her arm around
him and kissed him fuU on the yel
low stain in his white moustache.
He stiU ignored her. She turned and
ran back to Jim.
Hand in hand, the two young peo
ple left the club. Their motor roared
away, seemingly with a triumphant
note that spoke of money enough for
a business, and for marriage, and
independence.
Old Adam Courtney sat staring at
his bony left hand flat on the table.
For a moment his shoulders seemed
to sag. Then he straightened, and
tilted a quizzical, twinkling look up
at the circle of staring faces.
"I knew what she was wishing,”
he said. "I’m an old fool, I expect.”
He lifted his left hand. There be
neath it, face up on the table, la;
the missing king of spades.
