I had noticed several times, during my stay at the hotel a fineâ€"lookâ€" ing man, who always came into the divingâ€"room just at the close of the dinner hour. He was about 45, with ironâ€"gray hair, dark complexion and quick and piercing black eyes. He had a queer scar on one cheek; the flesh was torn in three parallel lines and in healing had left three white marks about half an inch apart and two inches long. I never saw him tip the waiters, nor did I ever see a man receive more obsequious attention from them. He had but to turn his eyes to one of those darkies and they would jump to show their alert devotion, he had rare taste in the selection of his repast and when that was chosen and placed before him it always looked as if it had been guidâ€" ed by intuition for it was invariably the best there was in the house. ‘You may,‘ said I, ‘for you always bave better luck than anyone else.‘ ‘Will you permit me to send for a better steak for you!
