Of which are his own peculiar property

he wore on his watchchain. This coin
had a grim history, for il was the only
piece Of money found on the body Of
a gambler who committed suicide in
the grounds of the Casino after losing
his entire fortune at the gaming tables.
Another player, whose success at the
tables attracted considerable attention

when he goes to gamble a little Indian
idol carved in ivory, which he picked
up in his travels in the east. When
