Whist Players Adopt Abandoned Child for Adoption
A group of four men in Sacramento recall a game of whist and a passing child. They adopt the girl after winning a side bet, moving her to San Francisco where she excels in music. She later marries a Philadelphia lawyer and supports her mother in New York City. The tale blends personal charity with a distant past.
