1- The gambling trade, as practised by a few of the successful gam-
blers in the country is filled with ingenious tricks, by which
overconfident amateurs in the nation are being fleeced every day
by the boya who know there's ooljr^-
one answer—"You can't win."
J. C. Furnas, noted writer and
author of "And Sudden Death,"
In the February Issue of Cosmo-
politan Magazine, presents a sen-
sational eipose of the tricks of
the Rambling fraternity.
Michael MacDougall Is a card
detective.
"1 know of only one way to get
to be a eanl detective," Mac-
Dousall told Mr. Furnas.
"I started In Philadelphia, when
I was fourteen. One day I wan-
dered to the Globe Vaudeville The
ater, where Horace Qoldln, the
famous Royal Itn Ian Illusionist,
was headlining the bill.
"The fli.it performance had me
popeved, with inovin : pictures that
turned into real life and Kil l s who
walked through glass and such.
I stayed throuuh the next show.

under the s!ai:e plain as day was

"That spoiled everything, and I
resented it. So, after the act wa
finished, I Went hai kslnge and aw

and so I wanted, and I told him.
I wanted a Job with the act.
"lie said I was Inexperienced.
I said I was smart and could learn.
Me studied me a moment and
asked, 'Are you limber?'
"I doubled Into a knot, for I
was small and wiry. (I still am.)
He hired me."
For years, MacDougall toured
the world and took every oppor-
tunity he found to learn about
