The Gamester's Stake.
The. Marquis Anctlo Foscatlnl liatl
been travellni; tlirouchout Europe for
several years, sanitary measures Indu
cing Ii I tit to visit I'arls. To tlio gay
metropolis lie was accompanied by his
daughter, the beautiful Olympla, she
being tho only Issue of tlireo most' un
happy marriages.
Tim disappointment of Foscarlnl's
lifo had been in noMiaving lind an heir.
110 would have given Ills fortune, in
most his life, for n son ono who could
perpetuate tho only name of Foscarinl.
His life was passed In orgies and overy
sort of dissipation. IIo loved Olympia,
not as a father should havu loved his
daughter, but rather because sho was
beautiful and ono of the most precious
of his possessions. Ho kept her always
Willi mm, and had refused her hand in
marriage to somo of the most distin
guished noblemen in Austiia aud It
aly. " Remain with me." ho said : " you
will have plenty of time to marry when
I nm dead."
After a night of excitement aud dis
sipation it was ills habit to tako a bath
in the Seine, lu order to rovlve his ex-
liausted energies.
One day. while bathinir. he was
seized with cramp, and had not somo
ono rushed to his rescuo he would havo
been drowned. In his preserver ho re
cognised an officer of tho Trabans, ono
wnom no uad met lirst at riedmont,
and afterwards at Vienna, and whose
assltlutlcs to Olympla had given him
somo uneasiness.
'1 lie young ofllcer. on discovering
that the man whoso life ho had saved
wa9 110 other than the Marquis Foscar"
iul, at once requested permission to
vail upon himself and daughter.
To this request the marquis most
coldly acquiesced, It being impossible,
under tho circumstances, to venture a
refusal.
Stephen Lo Itoy at once ombraccd
the advantage afforded by the position,
and within a month of the accident tho
Marquis and Lo Hoy were Inseparable.
Lo lloy was deeply In lovo with
Olympia, but now wisely and cautious
ly repressed any manifestation of his
leellngs moreover, had expressod him
self to the mnrquls as being entirely
cured of his very oxtruvagant passion.
He addressed Olympla without any
apparent trembling or embarrassment,
paying her only the ordinary compli
ments permitted by society. The mar
quis, feeling entirely reassured, aud
having perfect coufidence,made Lo Itoy
his friend and confidant. While the old
nobleman was misled, the young peo
ple.nevertheles.H understood cacli other.
aud In all respects Olympla assisted her
lover In his scheme.
Thus Lo Roy was enabled to pass
every evening at tho hotel of tho mar
quis, nuu 111 order to numor tho noble
man became ft devoted gambler. Jn ono
month lie had lost two mouths' pay
aud all ho could borrow.
Olympla had advised him to play In
order to lngratiato himself with her
lather. Sho lent, him gold which lie

"Tliis U all that remains," said
Olympla sadly.
"Should I lose It, this lifo of decep.

will soon go to tho marquis and request
ycur hand In marriage."
And If refused," replied tlio young
girl.
" Then I will blow out my brains,"
was the quiet rejoinder.
OlympU shuddered at tho words, fur

"Thera Is happiness In life," sho
murmured.
" Yes thero Is happiness In lifo If

"No, Olympla." ha replied, thought
fully. " 1 do not fear. I believe In u

At this Instant the Marquis Foscar
inl entered the room, and Lo Hoy ac
companied mm to the uuio, wiiera mey
seated themselves to play, others being
assembled. At tho gaming table thero
was a l'aris banker, a captain or an
English vessel, and two planters from
Havana, all absorbed in tho chances of
tho gamo. Lo Roy commenced by
throwing down ten louts, then ten more,
and so on until ho lost nearly all. As
ho pushed the money asldo he shivered,
and his head sank upon his breast.
Foscarinl laid his hand upon his arm.
" Why, what Is tho matter.Lo Roy?"
ho said in surprise.
"Nothing," responded tho young
officer, as he once more placed ten louls
upon tho board. This tlmo ho gained
ono hundred, gradually tho sum In
crease.! and doubled. The banker won
130,000 francs, the captain 20,000,
and tho planters 130,000. It was the
Marquis Foscarinl who had lost all this
money. Much excited tho ' gamesters
drank together, nud then promised to
meet again In a few hours.
At tho solicitation of Olympla, Lo
Roy postponed speaking to her father,
whoso loss had been very great.
Tho mpetlng of the party again took
place as arranged, and Foscarinl lost
all he possessed In the world his pala
ces in Florenco and Naples, his villas
at the foot of Vesuvius and In the
neighborhood of Rome- there remain
ed not a vestago of his large fortune.
Ho was ruined. Through the closed
shutters and the crimson curtains tho
day was piercing, and niado the dying
candles look more pale. Of these six
gamblers, four resembled statutes. Tho
imraenso losses of their host amazed
them, although accustomed as they
wore to loss as a result ot gaming.
Two men alono among thorn seemed
to retain their self-possession, and they
wcro Lo Roy and Foscarinl. The lat
tor was searching his pockets In vain
hope of finding something to stake, but
not oven his watch remalnod. His
countenanco was terrible to behold.
" Gentlemen," he at length said, "all
I onco had Is now yours, and you can
with authority bid mo quit this house,
which Is no longer mine."
" Marquis I" oxclalmed Lo Roy.
1 ' Nay, listen to mo, ' ' continued Fos
carinl, addressing Ira Roy.
" You onco loved my daughter, and
I refused you her hand."
" You did."
"Do you lovo her still?"
" Yes, fervently."
" Again, I repeat, aro you sure that
you lovo her as you once professed?"
"Ido."
"What say you, then, to play for
her?"
At thesoterrlblo words all the games'
tors arose, but were Incapable of speak
ing, so great was their oxcltoment. In
gesture they Implored Le Roy to refuse.
" Did you not hear mo?" continued
Foscarinl. Will yon play for the pos
session of my daughter?"
" Will you not accept me as your
son-in-law, Monsieur lo Marquis? If
so, I beg to restoro to you all that
chanio has given, and that you have
lost through mo."
" I refuse most positively," respond
ed the marquis.
" Then 1 accopt your proposition,"
roplled Lo Roy, coldly j "now listen
to mine."
All present expressed horror at such
an arrangement. Foscarinl returned
their gazo with ono of sovereign con
tempt and Indlfferenco. Then turnlug.
to Lo Hoy, he said
"lie It as you wish."
" I play for your daughter," replied
the young ofllcer, " against all I pos.
sess In tho world, my uamo, my person
nml mv honor."
" It Is well," responded tho marquis,
as he speedily threw threo cards on the
table. They were threo aces. Lo Roy
also throw threo cards; thoy woro
three tens j he drow a fourth card, It
was.a ton. He had won.
All arose, desiring to depart. As
thoy saluted tho marquis thoj: saw that
he was weeping. Tho losi or his child
and hU millions had reduced him to a
state of wretchedness beyond oven tho
misery of mendacity.
Lo Hoy approichcd tlio marquis.
For au Instant ho paused.
" Monsieur le Martjuls," ho said, oft
lengtli, " this has. been a horrible,
dream ; you havo hist nothing and.
gained nothing.'
" What do you mean ' " Inquired Fos.
carlnl. " You say I havo lost nothings
Ask tlioso who loavo this houso laden
with my gold If 1 have lost nothing..
Oh, no, my tears and emotion are,
naught to you "
Thin speaking ho paesod from th
room, and no uuu attempted to prevent,
him so doing, and soou Le Roy found
himself alone In the apar'jiicnt.
The young ofllcer was about to de
part when Foscarinl suddsnly re-entered
the apartment, accompanied by
Olympla.
" Monsieur,'' ho said, addresslug Lo.
Hoy, I am nwar ot my position, but.
oven imvi I tell you, that you cannot be.

" Why?'' demanded Lo Hoy j I have,
now not only the right of her preference,
