A brilliantly lighted room in a great
house Of the Faubourg st. Germain of
the Paris of 17O1 when Louis XIV
reigned over France.
The last "partie' Of picquet was
over, and the Due de st. Ibars was
the loser. Now he had lost everything
he was ruined.
He had played the last card with the
careless serenity which distinguished
him. Everything was gone the old
chateau and the broad lands of his
race in far-of Perigord, the hotel in
Paris and his places at court but
nothing could disturb the mask of aris-
tocratic languor which sat so closely
on his boyish features, or render less
steady the white hand which toyed
with the iewelled snuffboX.
The older man opposite him who had
been his opponent had not shown such
self-restraint. The lust of gain had
blazed in his weary eyes, the loose,
sensual mouth had frightened and
grown more actively cruel and q red
fever spot of excitement had cleaned
on each sallow cheek. Now, as he
leaned back in his chair furtively
glancing at the other he was fain TO
pretend a sudden interest in the torn
lace of his wrist-rutile to hide the
sneering smile which flickered on his
face.
Yet 1t was necessary that he should
be able to think clearly and speak
calmly, ior the great stroke, for which
all that had gone before had been but
a preparation, had yet to be played,
He would have gladly have postponed
il, but a subtle instinct warned him
that the tide of his success was now
at food, and that tomorrow might be
loo late. The Marquis de Nantos was
no coward; he was spurred by the
strongest passion his nature was cap
able of feeling, but he was afraid OF
the beggared youngster opposite him
"I have nothing to stake, NJ. lie Mar
auis," was the answer, mot even 6

The Marquis de Nantos smiled un,
easily. "As you will" he said, "as yor
will l only thought a spot OF
wax had fallen on the card table, anC
le was scoring a pattern on it with his
inger nail. His throat moved once
vice, thrice, as If he was swallowing
something with difficulty. Then h
spoke without looking up.
"You have still something to stake,
ae said; II will play you for MADAME
Duchesse-your wife"
There was a sound like a stiiled oath
md the speaker pushed back his chai
before he ventured TO look up. Tn
duke seemed struggling with some in
ward emotion, for he held hand befor
bis face. Then he began to laugh, an
his laughter there was no sound o
nerriment, but rather a contcmptuou
nockery, which would have made mos
men long TO strike him on the mouth
but De Nanto seemed relieved tina
here was no outbreak Of violence, an,
waited quietly for his to speak.
"A thousand pardons, marquls!" 81

so droll. Has your confessor enjoined
you to make love to no lady without the
consent of her husband? Or do you re-
ally imagine that such consent would
be any recommendation to her favor?"

the reply. Il wish to make her my

and your stake shall be your life If |

a smile was still on the dukes face
as he listened. But the conversation
was beginning to weary him, suspic-
ion that the man was mad was gather
ing force in his mind; moreover, the fu-
| ture had to be faced and he must be
| alone to face it, So, of set purpose, he
| contracted his brows with a frown, and
| spoke with a brutal opcnness which

He stopped, and then said slowly,

st. Ibars was thinking. In the first
place, he was surprised at the sudden
tone of mastery which De Nantos ha(
assumed at the suppressed passion
/ which vibrated in his words, and tn,
ardent light which shone in his eyes
Never had he seen him like this before

drew it TO him. mo" he answered
quickly. II do not wish It,"
You are unkind," she said, ito refuse
the first request l have made since
since you said you loved me-" and with
a little burst of affected anger she
pushed away the footstool on which
she had been sitting.
Aha she cried. and stopping swift
ly, picked up two dice from the floor.
He watched her DULY; the sands OF
life were running swiftly in the hour
glass; the end was very near.
Rounding her little hands into box
she shook the ivory cubes together. and
crying, My throw" cast them on the
table. 1.-TWO skies. Is not that good?
Now must throw for you"
Again he heard the muif1ed rattle OF
the dice as they touched each other in
her hands or sounded against her rings.
Then came SO sudden an exclamation
that he was forced to look up.
1.-TWO skies again, Raoul! Is 1t not
| tiresome?"
| The dice lay on the table before him,
| the skies uppermost. And on one OF
| them corner was chpped off
The truth was beginning to dawn on
! him. a sudden ray Of hope flashed like
n shining sword before his eyes. Eager
| " he turned to the dice in the box he
! held, and WIZ hands that trembled in
! spite of himself, turned them carefully
| over. All the corners were perfect.
! Then, seizing the other dice. he cast
| them again and again, and each time
| the result was the samoa double six.
De Nantos had substituted loaded
| dice for the ones he had used,
1t was clear enough now, He re-
membered how De Nantos had held the
box and shifted it from hand to hand;
| how he held himself ready to pick up
! the dice and change them again, but
| had been prevented by the sudden
| overthrow of the table: how he had
sought to find the dice; and, finally
| how he himself had seen the true ones
| in his hand.
! A great sob of relief broke frcm him,
| for he knew he was free, free TO live,
| fuee 10 love and TO be loved. Lands
! and riches were none the less lost to
| him. but he smiled as he thought OF
their worthlessness compared with the
new treasure which their loss had
| brought to him.
Going to a table he inclosed the load
| ed dice in a packet and sealed it with
J his ring. The duchess watched with
curious eyes.
He kissed her lightly on the forehead.

The divorce evil seems TO prow wi,

The divorce evil seems to grow with
every year. $500 divorces were granted
in the State of Ohio last year. We agree
that there are faults on both sides, but the
great problem is: Are those faults renedi-
able? To great extent there is no doubt
the conditions which result in divorce may
be remedied. Given dyspeptic husband
and a wife suffering from female trouble
and we have the ready made elements of
divorce case. In view of the facts there
can be very little doubt that many women
look forward to divorce only because they
seek relief from obligations they do not
feel fitted to fulfill Women are not to
blame. They have looked forward to their
home life as dream of paradise Then
disease comes like a serpent and DESTROYS
all happiness.
