CAMEROIC COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1907.
glimmer of white roses thrown tip like a spray against the sky, struck
his IK art and made the ache come back more sharply than it had
lor a long lime.
11 ho lutd been a girl tears would have blinded his eyes; but, being
what lie was, he merely muttered in anger against himself, "Ilang it
all, what a wretched ass I am!" and, turning his back 011 the sea, made
his way a* last as lie could into the Casino.
It was close upon 12 o'clock, and the "rooms" had been open to
the public; for two hours. '1 he "early gamblers thronging the atrium
to wait till the doors opened had run in and snatched seats for them
selves at the first tables or marked places to begin at 11 o'clock if
crowded away from the first. Later less ardent enthusiasts had
strolled in, and now, though it was not by any means the "high sea
son," yet there were rows of players or lookers-on three deep round
each table.
The voting man was from the south, though a south very different
from this, lie had the warm blood of Virginia in his veins and just
so much of the gambler's spirit as cannot be divided
, from a certain recklessness in a man with a temper
anient, lie had seen plenty of life in his own coun
tl,V ' U t *' e n ' nG ,Vtars s ' nce ' lo waß twenty, and he
112 knew all about roulette and t rente et quarante,
among other things desirable and undesirable.
/ Still, gambling seemed to be made particularly
jfascinating here, and he wanted to be fascinated,
MWHwy | wanted it badly, lie was in the mood for the heavy
ZJL R hush of the rooms, for the closeness and the rich
perfumes which, mingling together, seem like the
j *' smell of money piled 011 the green tables; he was
in a mood for the dimmed light like dull gold—gold
sifted into dust by passing through many hands.
He had got his ticket of admission to the Casino after arriving yes
terday evening, but the rooms had not pleased him then. He had not
played and had merely walked through, looking at the people, but
now he went to a trente et quarante table, and, reaching over the
shoulders of the players—not so many as in the roulette rooms —he
put a 500 franc note on eouleur. It won. He let the money lie, and
it won again. A third time and a fourth he left the notes on, and still
luck was with him. He was in for a good run.
As it happened, nobody else had been playing higher than plaques,
the handsome hundred franc goldpieces coined for the principality of
Monaco, and people began to watch the newcomer, as they always do
one who plays high and is lucky. 011 the fifth deal he had won the
maximum. He took off half and was leaving the rest to run when a
voice close to his shoulder said: "Oh, do take it all off! I feel it's
going to lose now. To please me."
lie glanced aside and saw an exceedingly pretty, dark face, which
looked vaguely familiar. With a smile he took up all the notes, and
only just in time. Couleur lost; inverse won.
"Oh, I'm so glad!" said the owner of the pretty face. She spoke
English with a slight but bewitching foreign accent, and her eyes
shone at him like brown jewels under the tilted brim of a hat made all
of pink and crimson roses. She was rather like a rose, too, a rich, col
orful, spicy rose, of the kind which unfolds early. He knew that he
had seen her before and wondered where.
After all, it was rather nice to be spoken to by some one other
than a hotel manager or a waiter —some one who was good to look at
and friendly. Ho lost interest in the game and gained interest in the
girl.
"Thank you," said he. "You've brought me luck."
4; l hope you don't think I speak always to strangers like that," said
the girl in the rose hat. But, you see, I recognized you at once. I
don't know if you remember me. No, I'm afraid you don't."
"Of course I remember you, only I can't think where we"—
"Why, it was in Paris. You saved my mother's little dog from
being run over one day. We were both so grateful. Afterward we
saw you once or twice at tea at the liitz, and you took off your hat,
so you must have remembered then. Ah, me, it's a long time ago!"
"Not so very," said the young man."l remember well now." He
wished her mother had not been quite such an appalling person, fat
and painted. "It was only last October. I'd just come to Paris. It
was my first day there when I picked up the little dog. Now, 011 my
first day here you pay me back for what 1 did then—as if it needed
paying back!—by making me pick up my money. That's quite a
coincidence."
They had moved away from the tables now and were walking very
slowly down the room. The young man smiled at the girl as he
crushed up the notes and stuffed them iiTto his
pocket, lie saw that she was much prettier than he
had thought her in Paris, if he had thought of her
at all, and her dress of pale pink cloth was charm- SV
ing with the rose hat. Somehow he was glad that
ehe was not in white—with an ermine stole. Vft
"So it is, quite a coincidence, and a pleasant one
for me, since I meet again one who was once so i
kind," she said. "Especially it is good to meet a / 1 nlir&\
friend—if I may call you a friend —when one is jj
very sad." Sv
"Of course you may call me a friend," said he J u'-/
iindly. "I'm sorrv to hear you are sad." '( cV
"That is why 1 told you the other meeting j
seemed a long time ago," explained the girl. "I was \
happy then. Now lam breaking my heart, and I do j
not know what to do. Oh, 1 ought not to talk like '
this, for, after all, you are a stranger. But you are English or you are
American, and men of those countries never misunderstand a woman,
even if she is in trouble. We can feel ourselves safe with them."
"I'm American,"he answered, "and I'm glad you feel like that.
I wish I could help you in some way." He spoke kindly, but not with
absolute warmth of sincerity. The girl saw this and knew that he did
not believe in her as she wished him to believe, as she intended to
' make him l>olieve.
SI ic looked up at him with sad and eloquent eyes, which softened
his heart in spite of himself. "You can't help me, thank you," she
said, "exoept by kind words and kind thoughts. I think, though, that
it would do me good to tell you things, if you really take an interest."
"Of course I do." lie was speaking the truth now. He was hu
man. and she was growing prettier, as she grew more pathetic, every
moment.

The season for coughs and colds is now
at hand and too much care cannot be used
to protect the children. A child is much
more likely to contract diptheria or scarlet
fever when he has a cold. The quicker
you cure the coid the less the risk.
Chamberlains Cough Remedy is the sole
reliance of many mothers, and few of
those who have tried it are willing to use
any other.
Mrs. I'. F. Stareher, of Ripley,W.Va.,
says, t; I have never used anything other
than Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for
my children and it has always given good
satisfaction. This remedy contains no
opium or other narcotic and may be given
as confidently to a child as to an adult.
