There are no old gamblers. Go into any
gambling hell tonight or tomorrow

do not grow old. They die young. They

average life Is so small that it is rare
case to find man over 40 years Of age
at the gambling table. The men who
stake and lose are from 90 years to 8(
years Of age. The rest Of them have
gone. They have gone to the river
They have gone to the hospital. They
have gone to the morgue. They have
gone to the jail. They have gone to the
penitentiary. They havo gone to the gal

About ten years ago, think, I first
met him. I remember it very distinctly,
though | can't fix the date. However,
that doesn't matter. 1t was on Fifth
avenue one hot summer evening. | was
feeling very much ont OF sorts because
l had been chasing around for several
hours for man whom the city editor
was very anxious that ! should inter
view concerning certain astounding
revelations" made in the paper that
morning, all tending TO show that he
was an unconscionablea and unmitigated
rascal.
X my beggar had had any suspicion
of the mood was in he would have
passed me by on the other side OF
the street and tackled some other fell
low. But fate had ordained 1t other
wise. My first impulse was to tell him
to go to the devil II isn't ffattering to
a reporters vanity to have a beggar
solicit aims OF him. He likes TO think
that he is such wide-awake looking
fellow that no beggar would imagine he
could take him in.

gestive of the breeding of the gentle
man. / couldn't help noticing, too,
that although his clothing was quite mp
to the standard of shobbiness usual in
beggars, there was a deficiency in dirt
He began at me in French:
n.r1- Il

His bearing, his gestures, his accents
were all so confoundedly polite that I
felt almost ashamed to tell him that l
didn't speak French, as though that
would be equivalent to a confession of
inferiority. But then remembered in
time TO save myself that politeness is
trick that all French1nen have, SO told
him. in an appropriately brutal Saxon
sort of way, that / didn't speak
French, and that if he wanted to get
anything out of me he would have to
spin his yarn in English and be pre-
ciOus quick about it, too.
He did spin his yarn in English,
which improved wonderfully as he got
along: but 50 many French mannerisms
did he mix with it that l did not ap-
preciate the significance of that fact
until afterwards. He said that be was
