wards Drummond with q smile of
recognition.
The captain opened them and ran
through them. The sum he had won
was over 5000 francs.
He handed the higher notes to
Mabel, who transferred them to her
wallet, which now contained $4,000
francs clear winnings, and this in lit
tie over an hour.
l left, and nearly an hour elapsed
ere l returned to the gaming rooms.
They had filled, as they always do
late in the afternoon, when the trains
come in from Nice, and people were
standing four deep around. Drum
mond's good fortune, however, seemed
to have taken turn. He had lost
about half the days capital, and ill
luck seemed to persistently follow him.
The look of satisfaction upon the
faces of the Misses Treherne had al
most disappeared.
Even as I stood watching, their ad.
wiser staked note after note and lost.
Then, in order to change his mode
of play, he pushed over the remainder
OF his notes to the croupier and oh.
tanned plaques of gold, these great
coins, each worth 100 francs, struck
by the principally of Monaco for the
sole purpose Of play at the Casino.
These he staked carefully, one by one,
yet lost each time. One he staked
upon 81 and % came up. while another
be placed upon Sc and, with tantalizing
contrariness, the ball fell upon zero.
Its really no use to play longer"
l heard him remark to his two com.
panions. 1--WE must be content today.
Shall we go?"
Both expressed willingness to act
as he suggested, and all three rose and
walked of, the two girls giving vent
to the observations which had per.
force remained pent up during play.
On the morrow, however, they
played again at the same table.
Stacked in little piles before them
were about 5000 francs in louis. and

ing of the play, and were engrossed in
the chances of the black and the red.
Drummond's estimate that they were
not very prepOssessing was certainly
correct. They were exceptionally ugly.
Both were tall and thin, with willOwy
figures, narrow, bony faces of un-
healthy pallor, their dark eyes burn
ing with unnatural excitement as they
watched their mentor place their louis
in position on the various numbered
squares. They were we'll dressed, in
that severe tailor-made style which is
peculiarly English, for only an Eng
lishwoman can wear tailor-made
gown. All other nationalities look
positively hideous in cloth dresses of
masculine facture. Their faces were
alike and their hats were alike, but
the shades of their dresses were diff
ferent, the elder one, who I learned
was Helen, being dressed in green,
and Mabel in dark gray.
When Drummond, clinking the louis
in his hand as he considered what
combination Of numbers he should
play, habit of his, had finished pla-
cling them cheval and en- plein, the
croupiers warning voice rose above
the chatter, and few seconds later
there came the announcement:
"Onze! Noir, impaire ct manque!"
He had a louis en- plein, one on the
second six and one on the first dozen;
therefore, after his losses had been
raked in, he received, as his gain,
600 francs.
A look of extreme satisfaction over
spread the features of the Misses Ire
herne, and the elder scrubbed some
thing in the little silver-bound book
they had brought in which to record
their winnings.
Drummond was exceedingly lucky
that afternoon. Very soon the pile of
gold and notes before him increased,
until he deemed it wise to exchange a
few hundred louis for notes. Indeed,
in one hour the party had won 5000
francs. Mabel placing the eight notes

In the wallet she 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 tho
number nine, and one for $50 francs
on q, thus backing the two. numbers
which usually follow on zero.
Rein ne va plus!" cried the monot-
onous voice.
The sisters Treherne, breathless in
expectation, strained their eyes in the
direction of the wheel, which slowly
slackened until the ball gave sudden
bound and fell.
"Vingt-sept! Rouge impair ct
passed."
We've wont" cried Mabel, excited
ly. Isn't it jolly!"
"Cent.cinquante francs en- plein!"
exclaimed the crcupier, drawing the
note towards him with his rake. The
100 francs on nine was lost; but the
croupier, opening the little box before
him, took out a bundle of 1,000-franc
notes, counted them swiftly, folded
them together, and pushed them to-

truth. lie did not believe Strathgate's
extravagant assertions about the earl's
arrangement to meet Lady Ellen on
the ship, but there was a possibility
of truth in it and that at least kept
him from entire confidence in his wife.
AS for Strathgate, he was not feel
ing any too happy either. He had
risked everything. got himself en-
broiled with man of Carrington's
determined character, had upon him
all the odium of having run away with
another mans wife, and yet he had
lost the wife!
His sensuous admiration of Lady
Ellen was turned to something like
hate. He did not want to throw away
any points in the game either, and he
made up his mind to kill Darlington,
if it was in his power, and to wreak
such vengeance upon Lady Ellen as
would cause her to remember to the
very last hour of her life the time
in which she flouted him.
CHAPTER XIV.
Admiral kephard Joins the Pursuit.
We left Sir Charles Seton hard and
fast in his boat on the shoal. Sir
Charles had nothing to do but study
the ocean and observe that which
TRANSFERRED upon it, for q few moments
of hard work convinced worthy Master
whitley that only the rising tide
would float his vessel. Sir Charles
saw the whole drama enacted before
him. He saw Ellen run down the
Flying Star; he saw that vessels way
checked; he could see Deborah fol-
lowed by Ellen Chamber aboard. He
marked the other two boats chasing
down the channel and made a shrewd
guess that one carried Darlington and
the other Strathgate. He saw the
collision, although of course he was
too far away to know who was re-
sponsible or what was happening. He
even saw the smoke from the two pis-
tolls which were discharged by the
belligerents on the boat and after a
time detected the report family, but
other than that he knew nothing.
It was some time before the rising
tide coupled with their own tremen-
dous exertion got the boat off the
shoal. Sir Charles had had plenty of
time to mature his plans. He knew
that Ellen was on that ship. He
guessed that Darlington and Strath-

MURRAY LEASE
The RICHEST YET

Thursday was a day of sensations
in the camp, and the Murray ran
neck and neck with the best one. In
the bottom of the 200-foot shaft in
the east crosscut body of ore was
struck that cleaned with filiment,
shot and fine gold in snch a great
amount that the light from the
candles radiated and sparkled from
it like sun upon tree full of gilded
Christmas trimmings. The entire
breast of the crosscut from the bot
tom to the back was the quality
quartz of the district; and 1t all,
every little particle of the ore showed
the pure refined gold. One man
said that it was not possible for such
values in gold in the native state to
be in such an amount and carefully
scratched for a half hour on different
portions of the high grade that was
exposed well, l reckon it's all
gold. Thought that it might be
some other combination; but 1t all
scratches and | can see hundreds of
dollars right there before me-"
1t is hard to look at that breast oi
ore and absorb the fact that almost
pure gold lies there in your vision
and is actually there to the touch OF
your hand. The vein is new dis
covery and is the third of the high
grade assures that have been opeaeG

nackets of this sparkling go;d-laden
rock was hoisted to the surface.
Manager Boehme told the immense

the least calculation thousand dol
lars worth of the precious stuff car
ried away And it must be sa'C that
no one acted the swine and slommed
anything but one of the beautiful
pieces which will all lapidary and

FATALLY HURT
BY HIS DAUGHTER

CHICAGO. July 14.-Robert E.
Morey, alumnus of Columbia uni
versity, brilliant Latin and Greek
scholar, former principal of Pough-
keepsie, New York, high school, died
in fearful agony yesterday at the
Cook county hospital from a wound
administered by his 15-year-oli
from his drunken fury. She was
mending a dress and had a pair of
small scissors in her hand when her
father attempted to drag her from
the chair by her hair and beat her,
as he frequently did.
In attempting to shield her face
she put up her hands and the in
furiated man struck the scissors with
great force. He gave the wound no
attention and in his wretched physi-
cal condition it rapidly became
worse and he was finally removed to
the hospital SO far advanced with
blood poisoning that the case was
hopeless.
When the police heard the facts oil
Inc attack and the pitiful history OF
tie family they sent the girl home
and the death is officially reported as
II accident.

HORSES
TO 60 TO EUROPE

NEW YORK, July 14.-Unless
there is radical change for the
better in the present condition of
affairs on the turf and the prospect
of big stakes next season are as
sured by favorable legislation or
court decisions, James R. Keene will
make a departure from his estab-
lished lines of conducting his breed
ing farm and racing stables and sell
all his horses instead of racing
them. He will ship to England each
year nearly all the produce of the
Charleston stud, .reserving only five
or six yearlings for his own use on
the local tracks.
: All of the yearlings which were
shipped to England early in June
will be sold. None of them will be
reserved for racing. Later in the
year, possibly in October, Keene viii
send another consignment to New
market to be offered to the highest
bidder.
1t will be seen from this that
Keene does not intend entirely to
desert the American turf as long as
it is in existence; neither does Re
intend to race in England or in
France. He will utilize their mar
kets to dispose of his thoroughbred
stock. Americas loss will be Eur
ope's gain, for the finest types of
racehorses are foaled at Castleton
farm.
