  1. (continued from previous page)
    From the first game he started to lose all his money until finally he had his last shilling down when one card fell on the ground, the man stooped to lift it and for the first time he noticed that the men had cloven feet. He nearly dropped dead when he saw it and when he looked up again the men were gone including all his money. It was nearly morning when he returned home a frightened and a penniless man.
