L have not got penny in the world,
but 1 hope to have a fortune of at least
couple of hundred thousand pounds with
in a year.
1 have perfected new system, by which
q can absolutely be sure of winning.
I will tell you the way in which 1 broke
the bank before. To begin with had a
capital OF $4,000. I used to bet on runs
or SERIES" as they call them in French.
/ bet the minimum of 5000 francs or the
maximum stakes of 10000 francs. With
luck against me bet the minimum stakes
By following the system I took on one
occasion all the 1000 franc bank notes
supplied to the trente ct quarante table,
and the coupiers had to pay one deal in
small notes and glod peices. until the cash
Ter brought another $4,000 for the table.
I insured myself against the banks odd
chance, or "refait," by setting aside a
special fund of 1 per cent on my stakes.
This cost me 5000 a day. l sent my win
nings home to London.
An important part of my new system is
a method of rapid calculation. A weak
part Of my play was always my slow cal
culation.
A month ago I was in Jail. A month
from now I shall be courted by lords and
ladies.

divide my winnings for a certain period
with any man who viii finance me.

American enter into partnership with me.
for I feel very kindly toward America. I
believe that should be better appreciated
in your country than here.
ahve little doubt, however, that shall
find financier. Ny previous success
and even the disagreeable experience
through which I have lately passed will
only serve as an advertisement. Then,
you must remember that I have a sys-
