The speech was not one to cause any

The effort was absolutely devoid Of

and he told dad in confidence that they
two could divide up money enough to
make them richer than they ever
dreamed of, and all the morning they
discussed the plan, and made list of
things they would need to get away
with the money. They provided them
selves with canvas sacks to carry away
the gold, and dad drew all his money
out of the bank, and that evening we
took train for Monte Carlo. All
the way here dad and his new friend
chuckled over the sensation they would
make among the gamblers, and be-
came real interested in the scheme.
There was to be some fun besides the
winning of the money, because they
talked of going out in the park and on
the terraces when they were tired of
winning money, and seeing the poor

Dear Uncle Ezra: do not know how
TO write you the sequel to this tragedy.
After our Dakota partner, with the
Black Hills system of beating rou-
lette game, had won the first bet, he
never guessed the right color again,
and dad had no more use for the rake.
Every time he bet and lost, he would
reach out to dad for more money and
dad would reach into another pocket
and dig up another roll, and the coun-
tess would laugh and dad had to act
as though he enjoyed losing money.
1t was about dark when dad had
AShSN UP bhC ldSl uOllulo tlllu
it was gone before dad could wink back
to the countess, then the Dakota man
looked at dad for more, and dad shook
his head and said it was all off, and
they looked at each other minute,
and then we all three got up and went
out in the park to see the people who
had gone broke commit suicide, but
there was not a revolver shot and dad
and the Dakota man sat down on
seat and looked at the moon.
Dad looked at the Dakota man and
said You started me in all right.
What happened to your. systems" The
Dakota man was silent for moment,
and then he pointed to me and said:
THAT imp of yours crossed his fingers
every time | bet except the first time. ="
Dad called me to him, and he said:
"Hennery, let this be lesson to you.
Never to cross your fingers. You have
ruined your dad" and he turned his
pockets inside out and hadn't change
for dollar note, and he gave me the
empty sack to carry, and we went to
our suite of rooms, knowing we would
be fired out into the cold world.
1t will take a week to get money
from the states, and We may be sent
to the work house. as we are broke,
and haven't got the means even to
commit suicide. Don't tell ma.

stopped on the red, and dad did the
raking and raked in quart of chips,
and dad shook hands with the Dakota
man and said: "Pard, We have got 'em
on the rum" and reached for his sack
to put in the first installment of &C
quired wealth, and the low-necked
countess smiled ravishing smile on
dad, and dad looked as though he
owned brewery, and the Dakota man
twisted his chin whiskers and acted
like he was sorry for the Monte Carlo
bank, just got so faint with joy that

Lawrence democrat. (Lawrenceburg, Tenn.) 1884-1925, 1905-06-02

devils who had gone broke commit
suicide, as that is said to be one of the
features of the place.
Well, we got a suite of rooms and the
first day we looked over the place, and
ate free banquets and saw how the peo-
pie dressed, and just looked prosper
Gus and showed money on the slight
est provocation, and got the hang of
things. Dad was to go in the big gam
bling room in the afternoon with his
pockets fairly dropsical with money,
and the Dakota man was to do the
betting, and dad was to hold one of the
canvas bags, and when it was full we
were to take it to our room, and quit
gambling for awhile, to give the bank
a chance to raise more money. Dad
insisted that his partner should lose
small bet once in awhile, SO the bank
should not get on to the fact that We
had cinch.
After luncheon we entered the big
gambling room, in full-dress suits,
and, by gosh! it was like kings re-
ception. There were hundreds of men
and women, dressed for party, and it
did not seem like gambling hell, ex-
cept that there were piles of gold as
big as stoves, on all the tables, and the
guests were provided with silver rakes
with long handles, to rake in the
money. Dad said in whisper to the
Dakota man: What is the use of
taking the trouble to run a gold mine,
and get all dirtied up digging dirty
nuggets, when you can get nice, clean
gold, all coined, ready to spend, by
betting right?" And then dad turned
to me and he said: "Hennery, don't
let the sight of this wealth make you
avaricious. Don't be purse-proud when
you find that your poor father, after
years Of struggle against adversely, and
the Vaccinations of designing men, has
got next to the Pierpont Morgan class,
get excited when we begin to bag the
money, but just act Us though it was
regular thing with us to salt down
our gold for winter, the same as we do
our pork"
A count, or duke, gave us nice
seats, and rakes to haul in the money,
a countess, with low-necked dress,
winked at dad when he reached into
his pistol pocket and brought out roll
of bills and handed them to the Dakota
man, who bought $500 worth of red
chips. and when the man looked the
roulette table over and put about a pint
of chips on the red, dad choked up SO
he was almost black in the face, and
began to perspire so had to wipe my
face with handkerchief; the gambler
rolled the wheel and when the ball
