fact was not permitted 10 count
against him. His many friends boast
ed of his gains or losses on the race
track or nj cards and held him up as
free handed and Il good fellow
There had Just been Il breath OF
scandal about the major nj Allahabad.
II had been softly whispered that he
had run through his patrimony and
was hard up and that his success at
cards was not always due 10 luck
alone. These whispers did not circu-
late far and We're stamped as the re
suit of spite and jealousy. No one but
the major himself knew that they were
founded on fact and that they We're
the sole reason for his exchange. He
was rendered a farewell banquet 10y
the officers of his late regiment. and
the soldier or civilian who had dared
10 repeat the gossip OF Allahabad
would have been silcnccd very quickly.
Had the ma ior been a man TO take any
one into his confidence and reveal his
true situation he would have been
obliged 10 say:
AT forty years old | am without a
pound can call my own: my estate is
morigaged for its full value: | am in
debt To the money lenders: my last two
horses are not paid for: ! owe my tai
lors and am being pressed for pay
ment. and IL should lose go nj cards

money 10 pay the debt of honor ! am
simply living ou my past reputation rs
a man of money. and ! sec no way to
better my circumstances except 10 be
come card sharp and fleece the oil
GERS nj this cantonmcnt."
That would have been the truth and
only the truth but the major would
have sent bullet through his head
rather than make any such admission.
There was much sporting blood in the
BENGAL lancerS. and the officers played
for high stakes. The major did not
have TO encourage them To gamble:
they were waiting for him. but they
soon had cause TO regret that he had
appeared His bets were high and his
luck phenomenal Bui for his contin-
ucd extravaganza he could have paid
0ff much Of his Indebtedness with the
money won during the first six weeks.
Those noC i'm the game praised his
nerve and talked of his luck: those who
always came out losers did great deal
Of thinking hut were silent ~ the
end Of two months whispers We're

10 any authentic source. and they did
not exactly charge the ma ior with card

coloncrs ears he listened and planned.
He himself had been n heavy and con
tinuous loser and mad not always been
