caused that susceptible individual to blush
down to the roots of his blonde hair. Sup

claimed the baroness, placing her chair close
to the one he was seated in and if you have
no objection, mon ami, | shall bet so lous on
his hand No objection whatever replied
the polite baron. The play went on. Ma
dames's warm breath so enveloped the prince
that he could not see, much less understand,
what was going IN. Long since they had
been playing double or quits, and the stake
had now reached an immense sum. At II
o'clock the baron again got up to look out
of the window. Tee prince had already lost
800 600 fracs. Madam, will you kindly
permit us to light out cigars ?" asked the gal
liant baron. The baroness graciously gave
her consent, and her husband went into
another room after the fragrant week. After
he had left the baroness whispered to the
prince '.Do not leave yet awhile he has
to go out at II o'clock, and then we shall be
alone The baron returned, cigars were
lighted, and the play was resumed. The ad-
ditional hour cost the prince just $50, 900
francs. At II o'clock the rain still descend
ed in torrents. 1t was impossible for the
baron to 20 out. But as the prince was leav-

prince a look that almost melted him at her
feet. You must not forget the baroness, my
dear prince, while l am gone, remarked the
baron. With your permission, I shall only
be too happy to be of the slightest service to
madam, was the reply Of the love smitten
Russian. The next day bright and early the
prince sent the baron every franc he owed
him, and waited patiently for night to come
on. When, at 8 o'clock, he called at the hotel
he learned to his stupefaction that madame
