That's a gamblin' system?" asked
Mr. Hennessy.
"A gamblin' SYSTEM" said Mr.. Doc
ley like alienation iv affections is
wan way iv maxim livelihood among
tn British arrystocracy A young jock
in New York has tn best wan I liver
heerd iv. He's been tellin' about it. 'On
Janooary twinty-eighth' he says, 4
held a meetin' iv my syndicate. IN
forchnitely, sivral iv tn mos enthusy-
astic an incurable was absent, it bein'
a busy day in tn insane coort, but at
ughtfall 1 was able to speed with tin
thousan' dollars in tn sweat-band iv
me coronet to tn altar where tn God
dess iv Fortune, raprisintin a syndi-
cate iv binivolent Jews, presides,' he
says, over tn exercises iv her Votaries,'
he says. In other wurruds, 1 wint to
play tn foolish wheel he says. I will
read firm me dry: Thursdah: Play
ed on'y tn twinty-siven an tn three,
FIR I'm thirty years OF to-day, an three
firm thirty leaves twinty-siven TIL
system wurruks splindidly. l dhropped
on'y two thousan, whereas tn man on
wan sue ~ IllC, lIldI was DldylIl d
dhream his wife had, los twenty-five
hundherd, an tn man on tn other
side iv me who was asleep los three
thousan' an Masonic imblim. A good
day. Fridah: To-day 1 play tn four,
tn siven an tn thirteen, twice four
bein' siven an thirteen tn regular Fri
dab number. Almost won twinty thou
sam Lost six thousan Saturdah:
Play tn color system. 1 am detarmin-
ed to win. TIL bank is ividintly afraid
iv me, FIR tn crooper has JUS tol me in
a voice croopy with emotion that he
will accept on'y money FIR chips. 1t is
too aisy. l play tn Fred. TIL crooper
is white with fear. 1 can hear him
move his foot narvously undher TIL
table like a man wurrukin' a soWin'
machine. TIL wheel stops suddenly It
is black. How sthrangei Sundah: 1t
is my day. TIL betther tn day tn bet
Their I'll do thin. But they ARE
frightened. They rayfuse to TURN FIR
a pair iv cuff buttons an a solid, gun
metal cigareet case. l lave tn room
an as / go out, tn trooper to concale
his fear whistles: "Ar-re they amy
more at home like you?" 1 will take
me system to America an have It fl
nanced. Me SYSTEM he says, needs
nourishment,' he says.
TITS a surprise to me, Hinnissy, that
tn men r-runnin' 'gamblin' houses
amt broke. Maybe they ar-re broke
an JUS keep up tn game because it's
thradition in tn family an they're
proud an they don't want tn oil folks
at home to hear they've quit an they
need occupation to anuse thin, like
ROCKEFELLER. But it's a shame to take
their money firm thin in this under
handed way. TIL jock iv Rosen will
niver have no luck with that kind iv
money. l warn him now. A curse
will hang over tn ill-gotten gains
wrenched firm tn poor, ign'rant gam
bier be means iv a lead pencil an a
primary arith- metic. He may die rich
but his conscience will afflict him to
tn end an his name will be spoken
with scorn be future gin'rations to
come. TIL law ought to shtep in an
interfere. Nanny a gambler who has
spint TIL bes' years iv his life dalin
two at a time an haulin' in sleepers,
is in fear iv his life that tn jock iv
Rosen will dayscind on him, slug him
with his system an. take tn bread an
butther out iv tn mouths iv his child
her an tn di'monds out iv tn ears iv
his wife. Wan iv our naytional indus
thries is threatened. If this sign iv
arrystocracy can come over here an
room our gamblers, what's to prevint
him firm Robin Russell Sage or de-
privin' Hetty Green iv tn discomforts
iv life?
Il niver was in a gamblih' house but
wanst. Hogan took me there. Besides
bein' a pote, he's a great fi-nancier.
He believes in Marconis tillygraft.
Come up he says, an help me WOO
TIL Goddess iv Chance he says. I
have a system he says. L haven't
seen tn lady FIR years. I says, but
I'll go along an see We home whin she
turns loose tn dog on ye,' I says.
Where does she live now?' I says.
over Dorsey's saloon he says. An
wint with him. TIL Goddess iv Chance
certainly lives well, Hinnissy. They
was naygur at tn dure an tn room
was full iv light firm chandyleers an
they was onyx cuspidors upon tn
flure. Business seemed to be
good but cuddent see tn
Goddess anywhere. Where is
tn Goddess iv CHANGER 1 asst
