THE CASCADE OF GOLD

l was sitting one bright afternoon on
the terrace outside the Cafe de Paris,
Monte Carlo idling over a cigarette and
a maZagran. 1t is my favorite resort at
about four o'clock. for while skimming
the Figaro | can, II l choose, watch
each person who ascends or descends
the Casino steps, while very often the
cosmopolitan chatter at the tables in
my vicinity is of unusual interest to
me.
On such occasions l present, out
wardly, the appearance of well-to-
do Partisan, and, although the pro-
fessional gamblers and the STAFF are
well aware who and what l am, the
hundreds of thousands of strangers
moving through the principality have
no idea of my true position.
AS l sat in lazy attitude, my
thoughts far from my surroundings,
some words uttered in a mans voice
caught my ear, and brought me back
to consciousness of where / was.
The words were unexpected, and
spoken in curious, squeaking voice,

came over and played throughout the
afternoon, always with great care and
precision. One of his eccentrictities
was that. when in the rooms, he car.
ried in his hand huge, bag-like purse,
worked In colored beads of the style
