ute WHAT started dad to come to
Z monte Carlo is more than know, IN
less it# was new American he has got
acquainted with. a fellow from North
dakota, that dad met at a sort of. dance
that ne did not take me to. It seems
there IS place in Paris where they
80 70 see men and women dance-one
O. those dances where they kick so
high thai their feet hit the. gas fixtures.
We'll, All know about it is that one
w dnesday night dad said he felt as
though it was his duty to go to prayer
meeting, SO he could say when he got
home thatin ali the friyolitfes of trip
abroad. even III wicked Paris, ne never
neglected his church duties. I never
was stuck on going TO prayer meeting,
so dad let me stay at the hotel and play
pool with the cash register boy in the
barroom. and dad took a hymn book
and went out, looking pious as / ever
saw him.
Ny, what a difference there was in
dad II the morning E woke up about
daylight, and dad came into the room
with D strange man. with spinach on
his chin. and they began to dance, like
they had seen the people dance at the
show where they had passed the even
ing. They were undressed, except their
undere1othes, which were these combi-
nation suits, SO when a man gets into
them he IS sealed up like a bologna,
and he has to have help when he wants
to get cut to take a bath, and he has
TO have an outsider button him in with
q button hook. Gee! would rather
be sausage and done with 1t. Well,
dad and this man from Dakota kicked
high until dad caught by the ankle on
d gas bracket, and the strange man got
me up out Of bed to help unloosen dad
and get him down before he was black
in the faee. Finally We got dad down
and then the two old eodgers began
10 discuss a proposition to so to Monte
Carlo to break the bank.
The Dakota man agreed that. Ameri-
q had no right To be spending their
own money doing Europe. when their
genius was equal to the task of .acquir-
me the money of the less Intelligent
foreigners. He said they could go to
monte Carlo and BY q system Of gam
hing which he had used successfully
in the Black Hills they could carry
aWav all the money they could pile into
sacks. The man said he would guar
anfee to break the bank If dad would
ru4 his money against the Dakota
mans experience as a gam bier, and
thev would divide the proceeds equally.
Dad bit like bass. He said he had
