A MONTE CARLO LEGEND.
The story the Croupiers Tell of the
Wandering Jew.

The story the Croupiers Tell of the
Wandering Jew.
All gamblers are superstitlous, and
some of their pet superstitions are now
so old as to have acquired the respec-
liability of venerable traditions. The
croupiers of Monte Carlo have an in
teresting set of traditional supgsti-
lions of their own, most of which are
entirely unknown to the many thou
sands of visitors who toy with the
tiger" In that gilded court of chance.
The most striking of these Is the
story of the Wandering jew, which the
croupiers believe az fervently as they
do that the bank will Down any .sys-
tenn" that ever was invented. There
is one day, and one day only, In the
year on which the rooms of the casino
at Monte Carlo are closed-that Is on
Good Friday When the rooms are
opened on the following day, they say,
the first person to enter the Grand
Nouvelle Sale de jour Is an old man
of venerable appearance. He wastes
no time; but, walking straight to one
of the tables, he places with the trem-
bling fingers or extreme OLD age u
piece of money upon certain number.
The wheel Is turned, the croupier's ma
sal cry falls upon the ear, announcing
that the number selected by the old
man has won. With bitterly savage
exclamation the aged man seizes his
winnings, throws them about him and
hurries from the room to disappear, no
one knows where.
He is the Wandering Jew, and until
he can lose bet at Monte Carlo he
must continue his wanderings. Get on
the "blnd side of any of the old crou-
piers Of Monte Carlo, ana they will tell
you this legend. Have they seen him?
or course they have and are fully per-
suaded that the aged and mysterious
stranger Is none other than the man
condemned to perpetual earthly wan
behring's nearly 1000 years ago.

.JEDBURY'S
JOB ~
By Douglas Cameron
Copyright, 1901. by Douglas Cameron

Jack Jedbury did not see her when
she arrived at the Tiptop House. AT
that particular moment he was per-
spring in his 0 by 0 room on the top
floor In a painful and laborious effort
to supply two missing buttons on his
outing shirt,
AS n rule, Jack lounged ON the porch
when the bus from the afternoon train
arrived, partly TO give the resort pop
ulous mir and partly to impress new
arrivals with the fact that the hotel
boosted of at least one presentable
man, for poor Jedbury was merely
playing the role of guest.
During his college vacations, through
which he had worked his way by d!nt
of much tutoring of gilded youths, he
had waited table at various mountain
resorts. Such work was not considered
beneath the dignity of self support
ing colleglan. But he was out of col
lege this year, and in the fall an open
ing In the law office of Senator Daw-
son awaited him. In the meantime he
must live, SO he hied himself back to
the White mountains.
The proprietor of the Tiptop House
looked over this athletic applicant for
walters duties and said grimly;
you're too decent looking n chap
TO waste on a dining room. We're al
ways short ON men up here. Now. I'll
give you not only board and lodging,
but a small salary also If you'll mako
yourself agreeable to the ladies, espe
clally the plain ones, and tlnkle your
banjo ON the porch evenings when the
moon is up and the girls feel roman
tic"
Jack had entered upon his strange
duties with n keen sense of the ridicu
lous. 1t recalled college theatricals,
and he was not bad actor. And then
she came and spoiled 1t all.
She was Josephine Denton, Dicks
sister, and Jack had been Dicks favor
ite coach. When Josephine attended
the Junior prom, she had heartily APP
proved of Dicks sentiments toward his
sturdy tutor and had signalized her
approval by giving the latter two haif
dances and one entire extra. That had
been moons and moons ago, yet neither
had forgotten their meeting and fare
well, all on one eyentful evening.
The hotel manager had diabolcal
scheme for moving Jack from table to

table This increased Jedbury's popu-
larity with the ladies, but It did not add
to Jacks happiness. On this particular
evening Jack was late. 1t was his
night to dine at Miss Simpkin's table,
and he disliked her above all the frumps
for which the Tiptop House was ia
nous.
Late again" she cooed, tapping
Jacks arm with her ring decked hand.
Jack always did hate to see q woman
wear rings on her middle finger. She
wore hair, too, that proclaimed to the
world the merits of peroxide of hydro
gen.
Naughty, naughty man"
"I-I--the fact was my watch had
stopped" muttered Jack, trying to take
his pace carelessly, indifferently. Then
he looked up and saw her gazing at
him with open mouth, and that gaze
held wonder. amusement-or was 1t
contempt? He groaned inwardly and
sent his soup back untasted, though he

Harris, who was just a shade less try
ing than Miss Simpkins.
While Miss Simpkins cooed and
gushed Jack ate his dinner in a fash
ion that threatened his digestion. Incl
dentally he was watching the specula-
tive squirt in Miss Denton's eye, which
said SO plainly, II wonder what you
are doing here, and with that impossi-
BILE womant"
After dinner he retired to the farthest
corner of the piazza and his cigarette.
His nominations were not pleasant. At
college he had never represented him
self as other than poor man and had
been respected for his grit. But here
he was sailing under false colors, and
she must know 1t. Clearly he was no
longer entitled to the honor of Miss
DEMONS acquaintance.
Mother, here's nice quiet spot, !"
said d sweet voice, and Jack rose from
the deep recesses OF wicker rocker to
face Miss Denton and her mother.
"Oh. Mr.. Jedbury, l beg your par
don! We thought this corner quite de-
serted" She was holding out her hand
and smiling. MY mother, Mr.. Jed
bury-in Dickie's class, you know"
Jack stammered over his greeting
and watched for an early opportunity

For the beginning of taxation we
must go to Roman times. Taxes were
then levied on agricultural produce
and cattle, and there was also curl
GUS and very oppressive tax on
corpses, which was one of the causes
of the revolt of the Iceni under Boad-,

heptarchy there existed what may be
called national levy for general pur-
poses. chiefly clerical, since twothirds
Of 1t were devoted to the maintenance
of the clergy and repairs Of sacred

Of retiring gracefully. Under the cir.
cumstances 1t was the only decent
thing to do.
Really. Mr.. Jedbury," went on the
girl, with just tinge of reproach In
her voice, 1T was hardly kind of you
not to come over to our table this even
ing, seeing we were perfect strangers.
1t was not-well, just exactly fra
ternal" This with laugh as she
pointed to the secret society pin ON her
waist, the counterpart of the one on
Jacks shirt.
Half an hour later jack was vaguely
wondering what had become of his
ylrtuous determination not to infiict
such sham as his unworthy self ON
the Dentons. For that space he was
living in paradise. Then

Is We had an appointment for row

1t was Miss Tubbs, who did not belle
her name Jack rose awkwardly, his
face erimsoning under Miss Denton's
gaze.

Don't let me detain you," returned
Miss Denton, with just touch Of haul
teur In her tones. And the unhappy
Jack strobe off with Miss Tubbs.
Every night for a week when he
sought his hot room under the roof
Jack perjured himself afresh with
vows to abstain from Miss Denton's
company. As matter of fact he was
at her side morning. noon and night.
In time the walls of Miss Simpkins
and the other frumps reached the ears
of the hotel manager He was a man
of action. The next day Jack received
this businesslike note:
MI Jedbury--You're not keeping to your
bargain. Drop your flirting with Miss D..
see her drop you.
Had the hotel man been foolhardy
enough to deliver that bit of advice In
person Jack would probably have come
near killing him. As II was, he tore the
note into myriad small pieces. and,
murmurlng, I'm tell her myself and
save you the trouble" he strobe down
up with her In n quiet, secluded nook OF
rocks, where the lichen and moss grew
rank and q tinkling stream sang per-
petual love songs to the oyerhanging
ferns.
The shadows fell thick about them or
