run of luck would contlnue-through the matured chance-that he declined the very favorable offer
 Experience had in fact shown both players that although sevens could not be thrown forever, yet there was no tell | ing when the throw would change. Both reasoned probably that as an eighth throw had followed seven successive throws of seven-a wonderful chance and as ninth had followed eight success siye throws. a tenth might well follow the ninth-though such series of throws had never been heard of. They were forced, as 1t were, by the run of events to reason justly as to the possibility of a tenth throw of seven, even to exaggerate that possibility into probability. This strange series of throws quite checked the betting propensities of the bystand- CTS. Not one had the courage to lay the wager, which, according to gambling eth ics, would have been plausibly safe one, that the tenth throw would not give seven.
 Now, as to the unfalrness of the original wager. How much should have been wa gered against a single guinea that ten sevens would not be thrown? With a pair of dice there are thirty-six possible throws Six of these gave seven as the total. Thus the chance of throwing seven is one-siXth and the chance of throwing seven ten times running Is obtained by multiplying six into itself ten times and placing the resulting number under unity to represent the minute fractional chance required. It will be found that the num- Der obtained is 6O 466 176. Instead of 1000 guineas to 1, fairness required that 60,- 46O,175 guineas should be wagered against 1 guinea
 This represents the enormous chances against the occurrence of ten successive throws of seven with pair of dice. Even against nine successive throws the fair odds would have been 10.077. 595 to | or about 40,000 guineas to farthing. When the nine throws of seven had been made the chance of tenth throw of seven was simply one-sixth. as at the first trial. If there were any truth in the theory of ma a throw would, of course, be greatly di- unfinished.

How Lawyers Make Money.

With the exposure of the details of the settlement of the S250,000 breach of prom ise of marriage suit brought by Katherine Poillon against w. Gould Brokaw, light is thrown on the methods of some of the shining lights of the legal profession of this city. Mrs. Poillon is a woman of more or less obscure birth and shady record. For several years she has lived at fine hotels with automobiles and other luXuries at her command, but with noth- Ing that the police would call lawful means of support. In some way she met W. Gould Brokaw, one of the society men of the city, and for some time he danced attendance upon her, for which, if his own story is to be credited, he paid the fiddler well. A sage of the past threw out a hint that it is well to be- ware of a woman scorned and so Brokaw learned in thls case when 1t was too late.
 After he had dropped her Mrs. Poillon went to Black Olcutt, Gruber and Bonyge, a firm of lawyers of which ex- Gov Frank s. Black is the head. She had no money to pay a fee, but she had a scandal and they figured that Brokaw would pay well rather than have 1t aired in court Accordingly they brought a suit for breach of promise extracting an agreement from the woman that they were to get half of the proceeds. Bro kaw didn't seem to fear the scandal half as much as they thought he would and permitted the case to come to trial. Then it was that they called In Carl Fischer Hansen, lawyer who has had some notoriety in the papers and a brother in-law of Brokaw, although not on very friendly terms with him. MT. Fischer Hansen agreed that 1t was due the family honor to stop the trial before 1t reached the sensational stage.
