LUCK OF AN AMERICAN GIRL

Makes Big Winning at, Monte Carlo
by Betting on No. Is.
8 A private letter from Monte Carlo
recounts an extraordinary run of luck
made by one of the players, an Amer
lean girl, at roulette table, says an
exchange. She went there merely to
see the gambling, Of which she had
heard. so much and, becoming excited,
obtained permission from her escort to
venture one gold piece, and one only.
Il she lost It she would play no mere.
II she won she would play with her
winnings until they were gone. She
placed the coin on No. 13 and the turn
OF the wheel was in her favor. Her
escort entered into. an animated argu-
ment with her to take what she had
gained and beacontent with her expe-
rience. She reminded him Of the terms
of the agreement, and while the con-
troversy was going on the croupier
gave another turn to the wheel, which
when it stopped, showed the same
number as winner. AS her money had
remained on the table it was increased
thirty fold. Again urged to remove
her gains and to cease playing, she
became angry and left the money on
the same number with the intention
Of losing it. Once more the ball stop
ped In No. u, and her single gold
piece had increased to a handsome lit
tie fortune. which she was at length
prevailed upon to pocket. Oddly
enough, the next turn of the wheel
stopped at the same number, but as
it had already come up three times no
body played 1t.

CHAPTER XIV.
THE ATTEMPT ON BERYL's LIFE.

THE ATTEMPT ON BEhfL LIFE.
The instant that Beryl saw who i
was that was threatening to break int
her room and guessed the reason of the
visit she shrank back as closely as pos
sible To the wall and waited in breath
less suspense while Pierre Turrisn com
pleted his scrutiny of the room.
BY STOPPING her head forward very
slightly she was able to watch him and
saw that he was bending sideways from
the ladder while seemingly holding or
to it with one hand.
So long as he continued to stare into
the room she did not move muscle
and almost held her breath lest HI
should hear her and being disturbed
make off.
For her rapid, shrewd brain had re-
solved that she would if possible LET
him carry out his intention of getting
into the room, in order that he might
the more clearly reveal his object, while
she took ample means to provide for her
own safety.
Her nimble wits devised an easy
method of tricking him il only he
would give her an opportunity of a
couple of minutes preparation, and
this, to her intense relief, he did.
Finding that he had not placed the
ladder sufficiently close to the window
to be able to open it, the man descend
ed it slowly and softly, just as he had
climbed it, and Beryl, straining every
nerve to listen, heard him go down.
With swift, deft movement she so
made up the bed that it looked as though
some one were sleeping in it, and then
she opened the door, which was covered
by curtain, and muffiing her head IN
a dark shawl she stood in the doorway
sufficiently concealed by the door cur
tain and waited.
She had not long to wait.
Almost as soon as she had finished
her preparations she heard the top OF
the ladder humping softly against the
wall as Pierre Turrian came up it again.
As he reached the top and his head
showed between the window and the
sky the moon shone out and lighted up
the window and the figure of the man
and came flooding into the room almost
to the feet of the girl
She saw him peer eagerly into the
room, while il was thus illuminated,
and she could fancy his eyes cleaning
with satisfaction at finding all quiet
within and seeing what looked like the
form of the sleeper still and motionless
on the bed.
In another second the moonlight had
gone, and all was dark again, and be-
fore Beryl's eyes had recovered sufh-
GENTLY from the change from moonlight

looking at her, and then he burst ngain
into song in which his whole heart
and soul seemed to be caught In a
strong. irresistible swirl Of emotion.
He was like one beside himself till the
end came suddenly and quickly, and
then. as If obeying an irresistible i'm
pulse, he turned to her swiftly, and,
catching her in his quick, 1.-the embrace,
he held her close to him while he kissed
her three times passionately right full
on the lips.
She half screamed and struggled
back, frightened at what she had
deemed his sudden passion for her and
yet not wholly displeased at having
fired the man. Then she found her
voice and cried:
"How dare your" And in tumult of
mingled emotion she fed out Of the
room.
When the door closed behind her, he
laughed and shook his head and cried
to himself in tone Of glee:
'Serve you right my lady, for try
ing to play with fire." And, turning to
the piano, he ratified out gay French
chanson in tone Of sheer devil may
care humor.
At the end of it he jumped up i'm
petuously from the piano. and with q
frown ON his face swore volubly in
French as he crossed the room to one
Of the windows which opened on to the
terrace in front of the house.
"What dayl How I hate this in
fernal suspensel I wish the night would
come and get the thing over"
But he forced back his light, laugh
ing, devil may care manner for the rest
of the day and evening. Lola and her
husband did not come back until close
to the dinner time, and thus he saw
nothing of her.
Mrs. De Witt he met with an indie
scribable air Of repentance mingled
with pleasure that he had been led on
to such pitch Of audacity. and she
was fooled by his manner till she for
gave him.

"It is useless, NJ. Turrian. You will
have to choose some other time and
means to murder me-"
The man started from the bed as
though the outlined figure had sudden
ly taken life and struck him. He could
not tell from where the sound of the
voice came, and he stood irresolute and
apprehensive and muttered u half sup
pressed oath.
81 have been watching you since
the moment your face first appeared out

chief hurriedly into his pocket as she
said this-"and now if you do not go
instantly will rouse the whole house

fore every soul in the manor.

now showed herself laying thrown the

he said. "And yet why should ask
forgiveness? Was it not the fault OF
your own beauty? Who would blame
me for losing myself in the maze Of
your eyes?"
81 will not forgive you If you do not
give me your solemn word Of honor
never to recall your offense and never
to dream of offending again.
ST am not an iciole," he murmured.
"Is love an effense? Stay, I am sorry.
I pain you," he cried, with sudden
impulse. ION my honor will never
again forget what wish I need never
remember" And he spoke with such ap-
parent earnestness and feeling that Mrs.
De Witt forgave him without another
word.
With Beryl he was audacity itself.
He paid her marked attention in per
fectly deferential manner, but in a way
which those present could not fail to
notice.
"There is truce till tomorrow at IL
O'Clock, he said to her as soon as they
met. "I hold you to your word. Till
then things are as they have been here,
and you play your part with the rest. "
81 have no part to play" she an
swered coldly.
pardon me. You are anxious for the
honor of the family" The sneer in his
tone was quite perceptible to her. "And
if you do not keep your word and main
tain the terms of the truce / will not
keep mine, and you can force an open
esolandre. As you will "
And Beryl, forced In this way, was
compelled to submit to the little atten-
tions which of deliberate purpose he
paid her.
II was part of his plan that all at the
manor should for that night see that the
two were on excellent terms, and in
that he was so completely successful
that Sir Jaffray mentioned it both to
him and to Lola.
The Frenchman's almost reckless
gayety lasted all through the evening,
and Lola could not fail to notice it. 1t
disturbed her. She knew the man, and
knew well enough that 1t was the cloak
for state Of nervous restlessness, the
result of great agitation of some kind,
She watched him closely, endeavoring
to get some clew that would give her
the key to the problem Of his intentions
and feelings, but she could detect
nothing.
Beryl was struck by it also and sur
prised by il and was angered at the
false position in which the man by his
audacity placed her. but she set it down
merely to his desire to brazen out his
yillainy before her and to show that,
though he was afraid not to accept the
terms she had imposed, yet he was re-
solved to accept them in his own way.
Some of the effects, too, she put down
to wine. She observed that he drank
heavily at dinner, and this increased
the disgust she felt toward him.
But not glimpse of the terrible truth
dawned upon her, not a thought that
ever in the midst of his widest sallies,
his loudest laughs, his tenderest songs,
his thoughts were all set in deadly con-
centration upon his plan to take her life
that night.
She retired early, going to sit with
old Lady Waloote ID her rooms, and

CroWd-The Latter Controls the Press

Atlanta, March 31.-A sensation WAS
sprung on the town tonight when il
was reported that the Evening Con-
stitution would cease publication Sat-
urday. The report has a solid basis
of fact and there is good deal of the
inside history of up-to-date journal
ism in the affair.
The United Press goes out of exist
ence April s, which leaves only the
Associated Press available. The fran
chise of the latter here is the property
of the Journal, which, after April s,
would have had the Constitution

An agreement was soon arrived at :.
the price of peace being the immediate
suspension of "the baby" which will
accordingly be retired without cere-
mony next Saturday, leaving the Jour
nal master of the situation.

They Are Flying About the
Republican Headquarters
in Georgia.
BOSS BUCKS BLACK BRETHREN
Viii H I'VE None OF Hanson ard His White
Mans Party-Deveaux Deter
mined to Stick.

Washington, March 31.--At last the
merry war has broken out between the
lily whites of Georgia and their COL
ored competitors. Major Hanson has
taken the field against the appoint.
ment of colored men to high Offices
having in view the claim for the Sa-
vannah collectorship made by De-
veaux, who, on the other hand, re-
fuses to relax his efforts to gain that
office, and declares that, as the re-
publican party claims to be the ex-
ponent of human rights, it must make
that claim good by appointing to Of
flee men who are ostracised by the
other side.
Now that the loaves and fiehes are to
be distributed, and Colonel Buck
thinks he is fixed. he has practically
left the management OF the party to
Major Hanson. The major, with the
new recruits which have been added
to republicanIsm, has sought to ignore
the negro, and 1t is their purpose that
the negroes shall stand aside or he
content with janitors' and porters'
places. The negroes, however, refuse
to be set aside and Deveaux, who is
one of the strongest and most per-
sistent of the race, has perplexed the
republican leaders by applying for one
of the best offices in the state.
Mr.. Hanson declares that he, as well
as other of the new allies, will not
stand negro equality or negro suprem-
acy; and that they will insist upon the
ascendancy of white intellect. Thus
the lines are drawn. That the con-
test Will be bitter goes without saying,
and that 1t will precipitate upon Mr..
Mckinley an ugly and acrimonious
fight, which he would be we'll rid of,
is beyond question
