business to which he had devoted 35 years OF
his fife It was literally his first vacation, the

Shy to a degree that made him appear suave,
delicate as a woman in manner, exhibiting
none of those aggressive qualities which had
made him a success in business. the middle
aged well dressed, easy-spending American who
drifted into Monte Carlo, was just one more
unremarkable member Of his pleasant tribe.
One week later, however, Gentleman Dawes,
As he was dubbed overnight, was not only the
talk of the gossipy Riviera, but the American
press, with especial emphasis in his home city,
carried the tragic and dramatic story of
. man who has gambled away large fortune
DO the banks of Monte Carlo.
In exactly eight days, Dawes had lost to the
green baize tables the of four hundred

his life, discovered that he was gambler;
Dawes, whose business success was due to his
conservatism, and who had never even turned
a playing card. found himself on the way TO
becoming tragedy of Monte Carlo.
A FTER that, his case went the way Of many
before him. Broken, broke, dazed by de-
vastation, lacking tn. impulse and the courage
to return home, the next IA years Of his life
were to be spent within the white shadow of
the house of his doom.
Monte Carlo has a way Of making q bow to
these derelicts of hers. She does not cast them
or as ruthleSSly as the stored legends go. For
those II years of his life, every month, out of
the Golfers of the gambling house, there came

enough to keep his body and soul together but

tables, this disqualified him for the gaming
