A manTs peculiar babits, even the in
nocent ones, may often get him into a
peck of trouble, tu say nothing of petty
embarrassment. . There is a wellknown
young society man who always carries
a silver matchbox in his trousers pocket
and who has tallen into the urconcious
practice of sticking his hand into his
pocket and snapping the lid which op-
erates with a spring. He doesnTt do it
apy more, however, and thereTs where
the story comes in. A few evenings ago
he was a guest atadance given in
Horticultural Hali. Everything was
moving smoothly toward the cotillion
when a yell which might have done
credit toa Comanche Indian sounded
from one corner of the hall. Immediately
there was the greatest consternation,
and a feather-brained idiot shouted
' oFire ! His voice was too weak, how-
» �,�ver, to start a stampede, and when the

country has at some time had Little
Dick in hock fer $500 or more, In
the days when.confidence men were
making big money working the rail-
way trains Canada Bill had as a side
partner a danper little fellow named
Dick Cody. It was the fashion those
times for the dudes to carry small
canes with richly mounted and dec-
orated heads. These were too small
for use as walking sticks and were
intended for show solely. Dick Cody
was a dude of dudes, would change
his clothes two and three times a
day, and always looked as if he had
just stepped out of a bandbox. After
getting his share of a ~~trick,TT as
the robbery of the innocents was
termed, Cody would strike for the
nearest large city to have a good
time, and this to his mind meant
rich meals, a few bottles of wine

and tackle the tiger. If he won, he
would keep on playing until the
game closed gr the dealer turned up
the box. If he lost, as he generally
did, Dick would begin to look close-
ly at the gold mounted stick he al-
ways carried, and the, dealer knew
what was coming. Handing over
'the cane Cody would say in a cool,
natural manner, the same as if he
was cashing a certified check:
oPut Little Dick in for $500,
please.�T
And no dealer who was on to his
job ever refused hin. Win or lose,
Cody was always around promptly
to take his cane out of pawn. The
stick itself was not worth at the
outside more than $10, but Cody
could go into any faro bank of note
in the country and get a loan of
$500 or any reasonuble sum on it.
It was his way of giving a promis-
sory note for the credit, and he
never repudiated the obligation."-
