a id*tried t > induce him to play against
their resp ctive games. But he had become
warv and would not besteered. He thought
be bad been ski tied long enough. So sev
eral of tho boys got together and fixed up a
scheme for bini.
"•‘l’he proprietor of one of the batch front
ing oi Union square was approached, and
reuddv fell into the plan to increa e his
bank account A club was organized, and
in duo time JXr. Dixey was induced to be
come a member of the very select organiza
tion. Rooms had been fitted up i.a ail ele
gant manner, and at first nothing stronger
than short-card games were played.
, "That was not strong enough, and soon
poker, hearts, ea ino, stud ands milar
childish amuseme t; had to take a back
seat. A faro layout was sent for, and the
gentlemen of tiie club who were looking
for quick action on their money were soon
satislied. Of c mrse ijiey had to have a
proftssiouai to deai and another for a look
out.
“I’hen someh dy put in a bank roll. Per
haps an examination of the books of tue
betel man I spike of would show where
that came from. The club organization
was abandoned, and the place took on the
apDoarance ot a regular gambling h otise.
"Well, Dixey came around just tho same,
knowing that e was in the temple of the
tickle goddess, Fortune, but satisfied that he
was still in the house of his friends. None
of the ordinary sports were admitted.
There was no hole iu the door, and the elect
few who were admitted had keys, [lixei
brought his bundle around every night anil
played’em pretty high. At times he got a
good hold on the tail of the tiger, and gave
it such a twist tr.nt the beast’s face took on
a most distressed look.
"It was noticeable after awhile that
Dixey did not win, as he had boon in the
habit, of doing, and then luck went back on
him and he began to lose. Then the" let
him win again, just to encourage him," but
he never got to tho top again.
"Tho result was that at the end of the
season he was practically broke. That, 1
think, was pretty g'O l losing. Just think
of it—a colu fIUO.OOO lost against the
bank.”
This little tale led to the revival of tho
stories ah >ut the big winning made bv Dink
bans live years ago. He reached New
i ; -c one nay with a few hundred dollars
in his pocket. He dropped in at a Barclay
Street House in the afteruo m and started in
a faro game. Luck was with him from the
start and he won $3,000 before stopping
ihe s une evening Davis visited a noted re
sort up Broadway and won a gre ,t deal
more. Just how much was not known at
, time. At any rate he won enough to
‘uya quarter interest in the game at 8

and Prentice had no one at his side to dis
tract his attention. He was good-natured,
h iwover, and when the dealer was shuffling
the cards or waiting for him to place bis .
bets he cracked jokes with the spectators.
When daylight broke he was ready to cash
in ? 10,000.
Prentice could never win when” he had
money, but was alw ys lucky when reduced
to his last doliar. He earned about SO,OOO
a year, ad was always broke at tho ead of
the season. At one time tho spurting me l
made up a purse to send him to Hot Springs.
He stayed there as long as his money lasted,
and went to New Orleans.
With only $2 to his name he won $3,300,
and he started back to Now York, lie
drooped his money soon after getting back,
ar.d though it was the dead of winter, ho
pawned his overcoat for $lO and lost that.
He walked out of the house and met a
friend who asked him to go over to the St.

dition tho friend gave him the change out
of a silver dollar. With this 75 cents Pren
tice went bac r and before morning had won
$9.50 and redeemed his overcoat.
Pat Staeedy has made and lost several

When he was running a game in Chicago
a rival came around with his bank roll and

Mr. Sheedy’s place. He lost $15,000.
Some amusing things happen around the
gam ling houses. One of the waiters at
tiie Hollywood staked 50 cents on the turn
of a card here two weeks ago, and inside of
three days had accumulated $5,600. He was
so elated that he could not contain himself,
and getting his particular friend in tow
they proceeded to make howling swells
of themselves In the literal sens'. They
bought loud clothes and iols of jewelry,
and drank wine until they were full to tne
necks. They rushed into the clubs as it
they were millionaires and pushed their
way to the tables in an offensive manner.
They playod their money si recklossly that
an old gray-headed "lookout” said to them:
“You’d better hold out enough money to
buy a stack of aprons with; you’ll need ’em
soon.”
They wish they had taken his advice, as
their money soon vanished, and now they
are at work again for $8 a week a id their
board.
EX-WIDOW FRANKIE M’KHS.
Has Arthur Branacombe Got a Dlvorco
From Number One?
From, the .Veto York Sun.
A young man landed from the Pacific
Mail steamer in this city about sis weeks
ago who bids fair to gain as much, if no t
more, notoriety than the young woman
whom he married last woek has gained.
The story of Frankie Browu-lleKee is a
queer one, and the story of her new husband
is queer, too.
The young woman is tho daughter of the
late Hiram Brown of Oakland, Cal., and on
his death found herself heiress to ab out
$50,000. She immediately began enjoying
herself. Among her friends was a young
widow, handsome and vivacious, upon
whom the beaux of Oakland and San
Francisco danced attendance assiduously.
Frankie envied her friend, and cast ab m
for a way t > get her sii ire of the attention
bestowed upon the dashi ig widow. She
talked it over with a friend, Capt. Apgar.
"I think if you had the widow’s clothes on
you would be as pretty as she is,” said he.
Tliis put a notion int > Frankie’s head.
She tried on a mourning bonnet, and it set
off her bronze red hair to great advening >.
Her cheeks appeared to bloom better aid
her teeth seethed whiter. She bad solve 1
the problem. She would be a young
widow.
O.i wings of stormy emotions she flew to
Capt. Apgar., Yes, ho thought he could fix
it. What was wanted was a respectable
consumptive, who would quickly givo up
the ghost after marrying F, ankio.” He was
to be paid for his services and the i go his
way, leaving Frankie to wai t a few days,
or maybe weeks for the j jyful news of
his demise. It was a great scheme if it
could be work 'd.
It was worked. Capt. Apgar had a i ac
ciuaintance, Dr. Anson A. Dupuy, who was
doctoring a young man named Frank
McKee. Th 9 young fellow was a printer,
and on an assertion by thedoctor that in a
very snort time he would “pass in his
checks.” it was decided that he and
Frankie should be m arried.
The doctor called upon his patient and
unfolded the scheme. The young mm
didn’t relish the speculate i on h s last
breath, but when he learned that she would
pay ali his expenses until his dcrth and
give him an elaborate funeral he concluded
that ho ua l better accept the offer, as it
enabled him to live and die in comparative
affluence. He had visions of cocktails and
wn in ley sours galore, for Mr. McKee wa con
vivial in bis tast s. He told tho doctor that
that he was ready to treat with the young
lady.
A meeting was arranged w hich was en
tirely satisfactory to both contracting par
ties. The deat ly pallor of McKee’s face
was a strong card in his favor, if he ha 1
been healthy. Frankie might have loved
him, for he was fair to look upon; but
Frankie was bent on being a widow. She
married the young fellow and gave him his
first installment of money, Tnen she visi
ted her dressmaker and ordered an elabor
ate outfit of black. The milliners hurried
their work to build up the bewitching bo -
nets and hats for the eccentric girl. A week
after her marriage her in turning outfit
wa- ready, and tnen Frankie sat down with
folded hands and waited for her husband
to die. Every time the door ball rang she
jumped in expectation, but the days, weeks,
and months rolled round, and still tho pa
tient was alive.
At last messengers came from the sick
beu. Her husband was slowly sinking. He
couldn’t last much long r, and there wore
calls for money to pay sundry biiis, which
she gave. At last tiiis sort of thing became
monotonous, and she proposed to visit her
dying husband and learn how long ue was
going to kaep up the farce of living when
she was paying him so well to die. Y .ung
McKee got wind of this visit, and concluded
the game was up, for, be it known, he wasn’t
qui e as sick as ~e wanted her to believe.
She was about to b ar i a train at Broad
way' and Seventh street in Oakland to go to
San Francisco to visit her dying husband,
when a hand was laid on ner arm. She
looked np in surprise. She didn’t know the
broad-shouldered, well-built, and slightly
portly young man, though his face some
how looked familiar. Ho smiled pleasantly,
and she racked her brain to place him.
Then he told her that he w'as Frank McKee
and her lawful husband.
She let his hand go instanter, and nearly
fainted, but her auger revived her, and
then there was a scene. She upbraided him
for not carrying out his agreement and
dying as per th& time card she nad fix.'d for
him. He explained that the sudden inti
macy with the good things of life had acted
as a tonic, and that instead of dying he
looked forward to many happy years in her
society. This railed Frankie, and stamping
her pretty foot, she empnatically refused to
live with him. Then he demanded money,
end a settlement was made upon him.
AVhen this was gone in riotous living he
made more demands, which she honored
until she saw that if she kept that sort of
thing up she would find the bottom of her
purse, so she packed up and went to Paris.
When McKee found that she had flown
he took t > drink in dead earnest, and in six
months Frankie was a widow in dead earn
est. The joyful news was cabled to her,
and she returned quickly to the scene of her
childhood. While the wife of the consump
tive printer she had been consumed with
love for one Arthur Branscombe. Turee
years ago two actors, Harry Emmet and
Arthur Branscombe, landed in San Fran
cisco from the Australian steamship.
Emmet was a good actor, but Bransc mibe
was amateurish. These two secureal employ
ment shortly after landing, as reporters on
the Alta California , and did good work
during the G. A. R. reunion there. The
two chums separated, however, and Emmet
has boon in New York for the last two
seasons. Branscombe went barn st inning
about the Pacific coast provincial towns.
THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, AUGUST 17, 1889.
In San Francisco he met Frankie B own- I
McKee. S:e fell iu love wita hnn. He is
fi e looking, has a Greek face, blonde curly
hair, a pretty mustache, and blue eyes—
just the kind of a fellow to please red
headed Frankie. Branso cube is lame in
one leg. but that di iu’t deter him from
walking into her affections. They met,
loved, and promised to marry as soon as
tho consumptive printer should’die.
BranscjmPo came east via the Pacific
Mail steamship ami ma le many friends on
the lower and upper Rialto. Well sup
plied with money, he was a prime favorite
with those actors who during the summer
exist on lunch and and inks at somebody’s
expense, not their own. Branscombe was
an adept at drawing the lo ig bow, and his
largo salary as support to Genevieve Ward
m Australia and uis huntiug stories were
equslly thrilling.
He was missed about ten davs ago. He
had skipped to Chicago, and the reason
given was that he had a s important busi
ness engagement. Last week’s Chronicle
aid Music and Drama of San Francisco
explai ied the business he had. for these two
papers announced the marriage in Chicago
of Arthur Branscombe of Kent, England,
to Mrs. Frankie Brown-McKee of Oakland,
Cal.
A glar.ce into the history of this young
man is interesting. He is the only son of
an E igli h clergyman who before his death
lived la Ke it, where his family now lives.
Young Branscombe wandered away from
home and finallv turned up in Melbourne.
Ho embraced the stage as a profession and
managed to live, though his salary, while
in Miss Ward’s c imp ny was only about
sl2 a week. This is about t e biggest salary
he got in Australia, but iu San Francisco
ho got $lO fro m Al Herman of Baldwin’s
theater. Whether or not he has got a divorce
from his Now Z'aland wife is a matter now
agitating the breasts of his intimates.
Harry Emmet, who was Branscombo’s
companion from Australia, was seen, and
in answer to the question what he knew
about Brans combe’s New Zealand wife
sail: “I have written a letter to Arthur in
regard to it, an 1 1 don’t care to say any
thing until I hear from him.”
Another actor who knew Branscombe in
Anstralii said: “Yes, I met his wife, anl
I have dandled his little girl on my knee. I
don’t know as I blame Branscombe much
for running away from his New Zealand
wife, as he is from a way up family in
England and his wife is ratoer on the
washerwoman style, don’t yer know. But
his little girl is a corker. She’s as smart as
a steel trap, and can give little Gertie
Hoaiau points on acting. What! you don’t
mean to sav that the fellow has-married the
Oakland widow. Well, wall, well!”
Frank W. Kinne knew Brausombe, and
said: “Yes, I knew Arthur very well. I
was night editor of the San Francisco
Alta California when bo and Emmet came
to work on the paper as reporters. I know
that he has a wife in New Zealand and I
was thunderstruck when I heard of his
marriage to Frankie Brown-McKee. I al
wavs c msidered Arthur a gentleman, and I
don’t reniomber of his over trying to im
press me with any lies. I was in tho roo m
of Fred Millis, tho Australian ventriloquist
one afttrnoon. Arthur was there, and wo
got talking about div Tens. Miilis said he
wanted to got a divorce from his Austral
ian wife, and Arthur sai i he was foolish to
s;iend money for that. II • remarked that
ho wouldn’t pay a cant t > get rid of his en
cumbranc*. I saw a picture which I in
ferred was his baby, though he didn’t say
so in s> many wards. Ban co nbo told mo
that hs never would return to Australia.
The impres'i >n prevails in San Francisco
that ho was tho seco il so iof an English
lord. I never lookel upon him as an ad
venturer, as he was a hard w rking re
porter. I didn’t see him as an actor. Ho
is about 42 ye .rs old and looks to be 30.
THE DADS MAS3ACKB.
A Tragic Scene in Florida's Early His
tory Kecallcd.
Bhookvi i.LE, Fl v., Aug. 16. —Tho scene
of the Dade massacre is three miles north
ward from the Massacre postoffice. At
this sp it Gen. Dade and all Lis men except
two were unmercifully slaughtered by In
dians.
Dado was on the way from Tampa to the
upper part of the state in ihe dischargo of
the duties of wa fare. One m b south of
Massacre he and his men ate breakfast.and
until this day the pon l from which thev
got water to make c flee is called the
“Dade breakfast pond.” After break
ing the r fast the,* moved
on northward four miles, when,
unawares, they walked into the trap set
for them by the enemy. This trap con
sisted of a peculiarly shaped pond on ono
side, and a rnviuo running out from it,
almost on a parallel with it, but curving
slightly from it on the other side. Along
tin i ravine the Indians had placed thein
sel res ready to pounce upon their white foes
while in the trap.
Only one of the surviving men reached
his destination to tell the thrilling story.
Ho related their almost marvelous escape.
Ono version of the story has it that they
fell down among the siain at.d feined to bo
dead; the other version has it that they
took to the pond and theieby saved them
selves. Whether either is correct, it mav
not be quite certain. I think it is more
likely that they took to tho water.
It is said that scars on the trees and tho
sigus of the disinterment of the bodies of
tho soldiers for removal to St. Augustine
are stiff visible.
I have seen tlio pyramids of Coquina
erected over tho graves of the dead heroes
in the militiry cemetery in the United
States barracks at tho “Ancient City.”
A relic taken from the battle ground is
a small cannoa, which was found in the
pond. A tree was felled on tho snot from
which was cut a 10 inch plank, in the heart
of which tree was found a bullet, supposed
to have been lodged there during that
famous and fatal battle.

STOVES.
Scene—First Dinner to the Family Physican hy Yeung Married Couple .
Family Physician—Do you know, there seems to bo n natural flavor about this food
that is most appetizing? What method do you use in cooking it?
Lady of nut House—Well, Doctor, when I was at home, my mother would have no
other than ;i i'hartcr Onh Store, From my curliest roeollretion i remembered how
she would praise it. and her cooking was superb. So when we were married I insisted oa
having the same kind of stove. OI cotireo the improve made on them since mother
bought hers, are most wonderful. Ours has all the lutefet. including the 11 ire fiauxn-
Oven t'Joor*. 1 don’t understand the process exactly, but they tell me that all meats
cooked in ovens with these doors, retain their juices and flavors to a much greater degree*
than by any other means. <an you explain the theory, t harles?
( iiahi.es (the Husband)—l can’t remember all that was told me, but I know tho
Doctor ran give a most clear and scientific statement of the reasons, can you not Doctor?
Doctor—NVell.it is hardly professional to ask sm h information from a doctor; in fact*
I am inclined to think he would not he helping his practice mm it by saying anything in favor
of the Charter Oak Stoves. But ns I have one in m y kitchen, and know something about it*
I think I can enlighten vou. Of course it would take quite a long lecture to explain every—
thing to you scientifically, and w e have not time for that. Count Kumford. an American,
who was Knighted in Europe for his scientific attainments, pointed out. nearly a hundred
years ago, that baking and roasting meats in air tight ovens was wrong, and he proved it by
actual experiments. He asserted that it was as essential to health that our food should bo
cooked in pure, fresh air as that we should breathe pure, fresh air, and that air-tight ovens
render the air impure, and the food rooked therein became tainted and unhealthy. Ituthow"
to properly ventilate the oven was not discovered for many years after Count Kumford’s,
time. The difficulty was to allow fresh air to enter the oven uniformly without cooling it per
ceptibly, and this has been accomplished by Mr. Filley’s invention of the Win* Gauze Oven
Door. The air enters the oven through the wire gauze in the form of very fine jets, and at*
there is a large surface of gauze the air is diffused and heated w iihout farming air current*
to cool tho oven, rooking might he called a chemical decomposition with the aid of heat,
hut oxygen is as necessary as the heat; this is furnished by the air. Again, the meat roasted
in afight oven loses a large part of its most nutritious Juices, which become dried out. Ven
tilating the oven prevents this waste, and the meat is cooked perfectly in the same way a*
broiling over a charcoal fire or roasting In tho old fashioned spit of our grandfather’s time.
Fresh air. or the oxygen furnished by tlie air. also impro\ os the baking of bread, making it
much lighter and more easily digested. Bread baked in a < barter Oak Stove with WiroGauza
Oven Doors will never mould, and that is very strong proof that the bread is pure and healthy.
Charles—Thank you, doctor. 1 think w e understand the reason much better now.
