croupier's warning voice rose above
the chatter, and a few seconds later
there came the announcement:

therefore, after his losses had been

Drummond was exceedingly lucky

until he deemed it wise to exchange a
few hundred louis for notes. Indeed,

Writing of the famous Dean Kaye
OF Topeka, in Suburban Life. Paul A.
Lovewell, says:
Dean Kaye has had interesting ex-

wilderness. Once an Indian woman
came to his cabin.

fee and led her husband away in tri-

He preferred eating with some of his
friends down at the Europe to the
companionship of this strangely plain
pair who had come to fling away their
money so recklessly. Both were in

Mabel asked.
They both laughed as if enjoying
the huge joke of losing such q re

The Misses Treherne finished their
meal hurriedly, as it was growing late
and went forth to the theater, while
we sat idling over our cigars and
liqueurs, chatting as men of the same
profession are apt to chat. Some hall
hour later, however, Drummond, smart
in his dining jacket and well-tied black
bow, strolled in, and, recognizing me
crossed and sat down at cur table.
"Well?" I inquired; land how's the
play going?" for the talk at Monte
Carlo is ever of the play.

in the wallet che had brought with her,
for their capital still remained intact.
Ten minutes later zero turned up,
and Drummond, with a louis upon it,
won 700 francs. With the experience
he had bought so dearly in the past,
he placed note for 100 francs on the
number nine, and one for $50 francs
on 81, thus backing the two numbers
which usually follow on zero.
Rein ne va plus!" cried the monot-
onous voice.
The sisters Treherre, GREATNESS in
expectation, strained their eyes in the
direction of the wheel, which slowly
slackened until the ball gave a sudden
bound and fell.

"Cent-cinquante francs en- pleini"
exclaimed the croupier, drawing the
note towards him with his rake. The

Stacked in little piles before them
were about 5000 francs in louis, and
Drummond was testing his chance of
playing always on the ''transversales"
OF three numbers, for which the bank
pays II times the stake.
''Rien ne va plus!" cried the crou-
pier, as approached.
Dix! Noir pair eft manQuei"
Drummond won, having a louis on
the numbers 10, IL and II.
Eleven louis were pushed towards
him, his stake remained where he had
placed it. With a good players fore
sight, he put another louis upon the
one already on the ''transversale"

ball dropped.
"Douze! Rouge pair ct manque."

stake there a third time was too
risky, so, taking up one of the coins,
he placed the other on the trans

again as the last number came up.
That, however, was the last of his
good fortune, for afterwards he lost
persistently, until the whole of the
