Merrlhew slid back his chair and
rose. He swept up the gold by the
handful and poured it into his pockets,
casually and unconcernedly, as If this
was an everyday affair and of minor
importance. But as a matter of fact,
his heart was beating fast. and there
was a wild desire in his throat to yell
with delight. Eighteen hundred dol

music they made in his pockets. Jingle,

marian, but the accursed thousand,
that baneful thousand, that Nemesis
of every New Year, might now be over

thought! His pockets sagged, he could
walk but stif1y, and in weight he
seemed to have gained a ton. And then
he saw Hillard coming across the hall.
Instantly he forced the joy from his
face and eyes and dropped his chin In
his collar. He became in that moment
the picture of desolation.

MAJ Nu~nI~AH.

AVING yawned luxuriously, Mer-
rihew sighed with perfect CON-
tent. The pretty woman sitting
opposite smiled at him tenderly, and he
smiled back. abstractedly, as a man
sometimes will when his mind tries to
gather in comprehensively a thought
and a picture which are totally differ
emit. Before him, in neat little lustrous
stacks, stood seven thousand francs in
gold. three hundred and fifty effigies of
Napoleon the Little. And this was the
thought which divided the smile with
the picture. Seven thousand francs,
fourteen hundred dollars. more thar
half the sum of his letter of credit!
And all this prodigious fortune for a
little gold put here, INT a little gold
put there, wisely. scientifically; for he
would have s~trenuously denied that 1t
was due to bald, blind luck. II only
the club could see him now! He wet
his lips suggestively, but the lust for
gold was stronger than the call of to-
bacco. Tobacco could wait; fortune
might not. Still. he took out a cigar.
bit off the end, and put 1t back in his
pocket. And where the deuce had Hill
lard gone? Twenty minutes to eleven,
and no sign of him since the play be-
gan.
He counted off ten coins and placed
them on the second dozen. The ball
rolled into number twenty-three. He
leaned back again with a second sigh,
and the pretty woman smiled a second
smile. and the wooden rake pushed the
beautiful gold W. to him. He was
playing a system, one bet in every three
turing of the wh0el, in stakes of forty
and eighty dollars. To be sure he
lost now and then, but the next play
he doubled and retrieved. Oh, the
American Comic Opera Company should
be well taken car of. He could play
the good Samaritan after the manner
of a prince, If. indeed, princes ever
elected to play that role. Two more
bets. and then he would pocket his
winnings and go. He laid forty francs
on number twenty-six and -four hum
on black, leaned upon his elbows
and studied the pretty woman, who
smiled. If she spoke English. :
He scrubbed the question on a scrap
