Poles Passion for Gambling

The trial at Crakow of Polish ad-
vocate named Steinfeld who has come
to grief through gambling has been
the occasion OF some curious revela-
tions about the hold which this vice
has on business men in Austrian Po-
land.
DR.. Steinfelds wife in her endeavor
to keep her husband out Of temptation
tried the plan Of never leaving him
out of her sight even when he went
to his office. The lawyer then made
a practice of going to bed early and
rising at in the morning before his
wife was awake In order to hurry on
to the so-called Monte Carlo" at
Crakow. which he would find still in
full swing at that hour. When stay
ing at hotels during the summer he
would arrange meetings with other
card players in the bathroom and play
there for hours, while he told his wife
that he was taking cold water cure.

kind to him. She talked to him OF
the plans which he was forming. OF
his future, of his career.
He told her that the date OF the
Polar expedition had been put forward
and that he would leave France in
three weeks, or a month at least.
She suggested, almost gaily. that he
must look upon the voyage with de-
light, as a stage toward his coming
fame. And when he replied that
fame without love was no attraction
in his eyes, she treated him as a child
whose sorrows were only short-lived.
How can you speak so lightly OF
such serious things?" he asked. Per
haps we shall never see each other

ton"
"Or l." she said simply.

upon her bloodless lips.

eyes had disappeared. Raoul no longer
