"No," said the old drummer, fiercely, to a Free 'reus reporter, "I play no games of chance any more, not even tho simplest kind, for money." "Won't you pitch pennies?" persisted his companion. "That least of all," he said, visibly affoeted. "Why not?" asked the other. "Do you see this dollar?" he said, taking a curt wheel from his pocket " Well, thoreby hangs a tale. Listen: Ten years ago I was, and had been for five years, travelling for a big diamond importing house in New York, and aa usual I carried with me a large number of gems, often having as much as fifty thousand dollars' worth. One day four of us all in the same line met in Denver and that evening we were drinking and matching dollars in my room. It was a hobby of mine, aa it was of one of the other men, Frank H., who was as inveterate a matcher as ever the lata John T. Raymond was. Well, we drank and matched, and kept at it until w began to toss up at five dollars a toss, and the other two soon backed out and watched us. I guess we were both pretty drunk, for before I knew it we had made a pot of a hundred dollars, and were tossing best two in three for it I lost and lost again, and then, having no more money, I put np a diamond against his pile. I lost that, too, and then put up two against his money and what had been my diamond, and that time I won. "I think we were both half crazy now, for Frank pulled out one of tbe pocket books from the inside of his vest and laid it open on the table, and asked ma me angrily if I dared to match it. Of course I dared, and I dared more. I pnt down beside it all mine, valued at wholesale rates at fifty thousand dollars, and he emptied his other rest pocket to an equul amount. Our two friends tried to stop us, but we were wild, and would listen to nothing. Frank threw first, and I called 'tails.' It came 'heads.' It made me shiver. Then I threw heads 'and he called 'tails,' and we were even. I don't know how I felt as he picked up the dollar, and I looked at those glittering gems, for I don't know anything clearly, though I had a vague idea that somebody would ba ruined forever on the next throw. Frank tossed the dollar to the ceiling; and I called 'heads.' It struck the' floor and rolled over toward the regis ter. All four of us made a rush for it, and Frank fell headlong. The dollar : had dropped through the grating, and , was lying on the closed shutters of tho register, just below. k " 'Get a match,' I almost shrieked. ' "I stopped back, and my foot struck Frank. He did not move. I bent down and shook him. He was still. I tried to ory out, but could not. The other two men caught hold of him then, . and turned him over. His face was W uo, and the blood was gushing from his mouth. He had died in an instanoV The three were sober men in a second, and at once alarmed the landlord and Bent for a physician, but he might aa well not have come. He told us death, had been instantaneous. I put my dia monds buck into my pockets, and took care of Frank's; and the balance of the stakes I divided, taking what I had put up and setting his aside, and the next morning we started home with poor Frank's body." "How about the dollar in tho regis ter?" asked tho listener. "Who won?' "Oh," said the old drummer, with f start, "I almost forgot that port of it. never thought of that dollar till just be fore we loft, and going back I fished i out and put it iu my pocket, and this i it. It was 'heads.'" 1 "No wonder vou don't gamble nn; more," exclaimed the listener, with . of relief. "Let's go and take a drink a a forgetter." 1 "And I don't drink auy more, either, said the old drummer quiotly. Tim Main Part. Tve got an idea for an opera," sui one writer to another.
