So, if there were $20 bet upon the red, the tapper would bet $10 on the black, and they could not make the red lose without making the black win. So the tapper was getting half of their gains. I would advise all my friends to let Roulette alone, unless they are sure they can place themselves in the position of the tapper. One morning on the plaza I took a look into a gambling saloon.
In 1531, Ruard Tapper and Michael Drutius were appointed by Paul the Third, on the decease of Coppin, the other two remaining in office.
Indeed, I propose to pass him over to the worthy Ruard Tapper, the Papal Inquisitor, you know every one has heard of the unpleasant Tapper who is to visit Leyden next week, and who, no doubt, will make short work of him." "What has he done?" asked Lysbeth in a low voice, and bending down her head to hide the working of her features. "Done? My dear lady, it is almost too dreadful to tell you.
It would never do for you to have tea with the others now, you know." "No, to be sure," agreed Giles blankly. "Well, and how are you, Mr. Maine? Most comfortable and happy, Mrs. Tapper tells me." "'E-es, mum," returned Giles mournfully. "Sugar and milk, Mr. Maine?" "Thankee, mum, I likes it best pure naked. I'd be thankful to 'ee, mum, if ye wouldn't call me Mr. Maine; it don't seem naitral like."
I give the story as it was told me, and it was told me for a fact. A man fell from a housetop in the city of Aberdeen, and was brought into hospital with broken bones. He was asked what was his trade, and replied that he was a tapper. No one had ever heard of such a thing before; the officials were filled with curiosity; they besought an explanation.
And Uncle Felix stood up to his full height suddenly, and opened his arms wide. He drew a long, deep breath. "Come in," he said splendidly. The tapping, however, grew fainter and fainter, till it finally ceased. Everybody waited expectantly, but it was not repeated. Nothing happened. Nobody came in. The tapper had retreated. "It was a twig," whispered Judy, after a pause. "The Virgin Creeper "
He must be careful not to cut into the wood of the tree, as such cuts not only injure the tree but permit the sap to run into the latex and spoil the rubber. When the tapper has made the proper gash in the bark he inserts a little spout to carry the dripping latex to a glass cup beneath. This method of tapping is shown on the front cover.
I heard nothing on board of the tapper; but I was astonished at the stories told by my companions. Skulking, shirking, malingering, were all established tactics, it appeared. They could see no dishonesty when a man who is paid for an hour's work gives half an hour's consistent idling in its place.
In the large music-room, facing the river, two grand pianos stand side by side; there are many portraits and mementoes of the great in music; fresh flowers, books everything to uplift thought; while in the midst of it all is Mrs. Tapper herself, the serious, high-minded, inspiring teacher; the "mother confessor" to a large number of young artists and teachers.
Tapper, after calling his attention to the various preparations she had made for his comfort, left him to himself, he sat down on the side of the bed and groaned aloud.
