thirst because the man had my 45 franca. I
promptly appeased him with a bottle of
nioscato spuniantc of the country; but the
next opcnine to our right Bhowinp Monaco
an J Monte Carlo spread like a map far below
ns, he was uukind enough to remind me that
there was the man who had my 45 franca.
Any excuse wis eood enough during the
next six weeks, which we spent together in
Italy. Sicily and Tunis, to conjure up the
man, whose bavins my 45 francs was
blamed if I was economical, and whose evil
influence was grumbled at if I was lavish.
Bo it will be readily understood that little
by little the very words "Ihe Man" became
associated in my mind with a sort of
monster croupier.'my natural enemy, to be
encountered and routed at the first possible
opportunity, and beside whom Sir Jtfoel
Paton's "Man with the muck-rake" looked
simply angeKc
I vowed vengeance, and a plan of cam
paien slowly evolved itself in the shape of a
Bvstem quite infallible by which not only
would the 45 francs be recovered, but the
man would be suitablv punished lor all he
had caused me to suffer. It needed 6,000
francs ol capital, so I turned the tables on
Twinnie, and never let a day pass without
pressinr him to join. No no always no
he really would like, but he could not.
"Say you can if you like, but vou -will
not!" I retorted at last.
"Xo, upon my word; ... if I had
time . . . ."
"Oh, bother time," said I. "That doesn't
matter. I don't need von, it's your money I
want. You put 3,000 francs into the bag,
and I'll do the same; you may go home and
enjoy yourself in the bosom of your family,
while I shall do all the work, and send vou
half the proht."
But Twinnie could not see it; he was quite
willing to lend me 120, and to take half of
the profit, bnt risk half of the loss he would
not
"We were about to part at Algiers, and I
began to regret my vows of vengeance, for
although I had screwed up my courage to
the extent of risking 120, I hesitated about
240. There might be some flaw in
my system, infallible and all though
it seemed. One hundred and
20 pounds could be saved by going on short
commons at our country quarters, and ab
juring the world, the flesh and the devil
generilly, all summer. But 2401 that
meant a long course of self-denial, Yows
were foolish; had tbey not brought about
disasters ever since the days of Jephthah?
One word fitly spoken at that time might
have turned me, and made the solemn warn
ings of the following pages unnecessary.
But it did not come. The Ville de Borne
was slowly steaming away from Algiers jetty,
Twinnie leaning over the rail. I was feeling
very lonely, and a lump would persist in
rising in mv throat, when he called out a
final "Good-bye! good-bye! Don't go back
to the Man."
It was a challenge, a defiance, and the
effect was instantaneous. "Of course I
will!" I cried, "and you'll be sorry you
didn't join. Goodby. Bon voyage!" and
the great ship moved swiftly out to sea. I
wrote at once to Paris for 6,000 francs to be
sent to Barcelona, where I reckoned that
the money would arrive on the same day as
myself. Then I went to Oran, across to
Carthagena, and so by Alicante and Va
lencia to Barcelona. Strive as I liked, my
mind would run on my system, and by the
time I reached Barcelona I was coming to
tnink it very far trom infallible, so much so
that any good excuse for a change of route
would have been welcome. I called at the
bank. No letter! I could not go without
money. Were the fates interfering in my
favor? It seemed so, and I almost felt re
lieved. But another mail from Paris would
arrive in the afternoon, so I arranged that if
a letter came they were to telephone to my
hotel. If I received no news I would leave
next morning lor home.
The aiternoon passed very slowly some
how. Acainand again I asked the portier
if there was no word. Nothing! And all
the while an inward voice, very weak at
first, bat growing louder, kept saying,
"Your system is quite sale telegraph and
wait ror letter." No, I would not do that;
but when at last the dinner bell rang I made
desperate appeal to the portier. Still noth
ing. Had the Paris mail arrived. Yes,
,hre4iours ago. "Was he in all afternoon?
No, he lud been out for half an hour. And
wlio attended to the telephone in his ab
LCr? "Telefono, Senor! no tenemos tele
fono." "What, no telephone! I hurried to
the bank, and once more the system seemed
very fallible indeed, when a letter with five
big red seals was handed to me, containing
six crisp new notes 1,000 francs eich.
However, f.ite had decided at least
so I said, blaming, as we usually do,
everything but ourselves when we leave the
. right road and next morning I quitted
Barcelona at 5 o'clock.
T-vcnty-eicht hours' steady traveling by
express trains landed me at Monte Carlo
station shortly after 9 the following day.
The weather" was glorious, and the place
which was lovely in January looked mare
beautiful than ever in the early spring. A
bath and a sharp walk up the hill, past
gardens plowing with flowers of every color,
soon made me leel as fresh as the morning.
On the way back I saw a w.indow filled with
photographs, and entered the shop to ask
the price of an album of views of the
Eiviera.
"Twenty francs."
Fresh from Tunis, I couldn't think of
buying without bargaining, so I offered CO
francs for four albums. But madams re
plied that everything was "prix fixe."
"All right," I said, "I am going down to
the Casino; if I am lucky you will get your
80 francs; if not, unless "you take GO francs
now. my friends will get no albums."
"Ah, Monsieur! Pay the 80 francs! It
will be just so much less lost. No one ever
comes back to mc-from the Casino."
The system winced, but I laughed and
said, "You will see. Au revoir."
The bell was ringing for dejeuner as I
entered the hotel, where I found a chair re
served for me next a most affable lady, the
wife of a retired general who sat on the
other side. He was a confirmed invalid,
and she told me how dull it was for him,
the Casino being the only distraotion for
which he cared.
"He goes down every day, and sometimes
wins, sometimes loses generally loses, to
tell the truth. But he never takes
more than two napoleons with him, at least
eo he says, so it is comparatively harmless."
She told me of many strange sights she
had seen during ber three months' stay
many a little romance in real life, and all
more or less connected with the gaming tables
but the constantly-recurring episode was
the appearance at breakfast of some bright
young couple, evidently on their honey
moon. She always felt a motherly interest,
and would get into conversation with the
bride. After a while she would say, "And
bow are you going to spend the day?' 'Oh,
we are going to the Casino!' 'Don't do that,
dear; don't do that; vou are sure to lose your
money, and you will just spoil the one great
holiday of your lives.' But the answer was
always something like, "No, no, never fear"
then confidentially, 'Charlie has got a
system, and he is so clever.'
"Dinner-time comes, and they are in their
places, but their countenance is fallen and
the form of their visage is changed. Not a
word is said about the system, and they sel
dom reappear next morning."
"How sad," said I, "just on the threshold
of the larger, fuller life, and deliberately to
narrow it by building up a barrier of bad
memories" and I began to feel sentimental.
"Well, don't let us talk any more about
the poor things," she said. "What a charm
ing day it i; will you join us in a drive up
to the Cornice road?"
"It is very good of you," I answered,
"but I am sorry to say that I have not
time." . ,
"What! off again already! you are worse
than an American!"
"Oh no! I suppose I may as
well confess I am going down
to the Casino. The fact is, I have an old
-.core to settle with the Man down there"
and 1 told the story of the 45 francs.
"Forty-five francs! why it's nothing, and
if you go down at this early hour you'll just
stav all dav and lose a great deal .more."
"But I've got a system an infallible
system." ., , x, .
' She laughed heartily. "They all lay that
in the morning. But experience teaches
every plaver the same lesson: Que Bouge

Bnt I had not come all the way from Bar
celona for a drive, and although my system
had got a rude shake, I held to my course,
and we parted.
Leaving a reserve fund of 20 locked in
my bag, to be sure of having enough
to take me home, I sauntered down the
hill, and. a few minutes later
found me safely past the great man
with the decoration, and in possession of a
seat at a roulette table near the croupier. I
began in the most business-like way, pre
pared to drink the cup to the dregs if I had
miscalculated, but determined not to flinch
as long as I bad a 5-franc piece left and the
Casino remained open. My system was
based on the transversals of six numbers,
which made my chances 6 in 36, apart from
the zero, or 1 "in 6. When I won payment
would be in inverse ratio that is to say,
when I laid down one piece on a lucky
transversal, I would get back five others
with it. Now, if iortune distributed her
favors impartially, my transversa ought
clearly to get a turn once in every six; but
I had made, as I thought, far more
than ample allowance for her ca-

still came out a gainer. At the twenty-filth
I reached the maximum stake allowed on a
transversal of six, namely 1,200 francs, the
bank making it a rule not to pay more than
6,000 francs for one stake. Winning on or
before the twenty-fifth turn would give me a
small profit overhead; hut on the twenty
sixth I would have a loss of nearly 1.000
francs, and 1.200 francs more on every suc
ceeding turn till I won. Of course it funds
ran short without my transversal turning
up, there would be a further loss of fnlly
6,000 francs; but such a ridiculous con
tingency was not to be thonght of.
All went well for hours. Often I won
within the first six turns, only twice was the
seventeenth reached and only once
the eighteenth. The Man was
clearly vanquished; he had long

since paid back my 45 francs,uot to mention
Twinnie's 5, my own Napoleon of years ago
with compound interest, and such trifles as
my expenses from Barcelona. But as dinner-time
drew near, all changed. I was"
playing on the fifth transversal, that is to
say, the numbers from 25 to 30. The seven
teenth turn came "Trente-six, Bouge,
Pair et Passe." The .eighteenth. . . .36 again.
Then 7, 32, 36, 23, 15 and 5 turned up. . . .It
was now the twenty-fifth stake 1,200 francs.
"Messieurs, faites le jeu "Le jeu est fait."
Down went a 1,000-iranc note and wo big
gold coins. "Kien ne va plus" "TJn,
Bouge, Impair et Manque." I felt the Man
grinning at me. I tried again.,.. 35. ...
This was serious my system was a failure.
I began ruminating on the why and where
fore, and forgot the game, till I was re
called by "lie jeu est fait." I had
just time to push lorward the other 1,200
francs when the croupier called "Bien ne va
plus." To my horror I saw that in my
haste I had placed the money on the fourth
transversal 19 to 24 instead of the fifth.
Click, click, click went the ball of destiny,
and finally settled down.... -"Twenty-four,
black, pair and pass," and in another second
I was picking up six thousand-frano notes.
A sigh of relief lrom some friendly specta
tors "followed, and a little fat Frenchman
rushed round the table and said: "Je vous
en felicite, monsieur; but it was a mistake,
you know." I had got a fine fright, yet had
presence of mind enough left to remember
that Dame Fortune owed a long overdue
visit to the filth transversal, so I promptly
placed 6 louis on the old spot The
fickle goddess shirked for other seven
turns, but at the eighth I heard the welcome
"Trent, Bouge, Pair et Passe," and a hand
ful of big gold pieces was pushed over to me.
I looked the time 6:15, and dinuer was at
half past; so, with a courteous "Au revoir"
to the man, in the person of the croupier, I
picked up my little pile and marched off.
I was most uncomfortable, however; my
poekets were all but running over with 100
franc pieces, and I had the queerest feeling
ofabsolute lndiflerence to money. As I
trotted up the hill, I heard a coin jingle on
the stones. "Only one of the plaques
fallen," I said to myself as I hastened on.
"Hope some one who needs it may find it in
the morning." I looked in for a moment at
the photograph shop.
"Eighty francs you said, madame; there
they are."
"But, monsieur, it is not possible "
"Ob, perfectly. Send the albumi, if it
please yon, to the Hotel de Bussie."
I got in just as the people
were sitting down to dinner, so I
had a hurried wash in the lavatory without
going upstairs, and then took my old seat
beside Lady S
"Ah, you haven't been to the Casino after
all." she said.
"Oh, yes, I havel"
"Well, you don't look one bit miserable."
"Why shonld I, unless that I am horribly
uncomfortable sitting here with my pockets
like this?"
"You don't mean that these are all 5
franc pieces?"
"Five-franc piecesj" said I scornfully,
pulling out a handful of the yellow beauties.
"Good gracious!" she exclaimed, "I never
knew that happen before. Don't vou go
back."
"Why, of course I shall. You wouldn't
have me do the man out of all this money?
I only wanted 45 francs, and I mnst have
4,000 or 5,000 here."
We had a very merry meal, after which I
went to my room and counted the spoil
5,075 francs of clear winnings. I tut mv
6,000 safely away in my most unget-at-able
pocket, and feeling that now I might trifle
with fortune to the extent of fully 5,000
francs careless of the result, back I went.
On the way down it occurred to me that but
for the lucky mistake I had made on the
fourth transversal, I would now be settling
up my bill ont of the 20 pounds of reserve,
and waiting for the night express without
the albums. But I had made up my mind
lor a whole day of it, and, besides, common
fairness demanded that the man should get
another chance.
I had to wait a long time for a place, for
the rooms were crowded now, but at last I
got begun again. The Casino, which opens
at midday, closes at 11 o'clock, and as a rnn
of 25 takes 40 minutes, it was not safe to
start a fresh one after 10. The Man was
paying for everything now, so I was more
venturesome, and increased my stakes more
quickly. This of course would bring me to
my maximum belore 25 turns; but I had
the same good iuck as in the morning, and,
without ever passing the dozen, my pile
went on increasing till, at 10:15. 1 had some
12,000 or 13,000 francs to the good.
Now for the last run! I chose the second
transversal of six, which had not come out
for some time. Six turns passed, 12 turns,
18 tnrns, and still that ridiculously un
scientific bit of ivory went on rolling into
the holes in every series except the second,
although it ought already to have found
its way there at least three times. It was
really" too bad; I had already laid over
5,000 on the tapis vert, and was almost at
my maximum stake. After another time or
two I would lose 1,200 francs every turn.nnd
that could not last long. The maximum
came, the monotonons "Bien ne va plus,"
and a moment after "Vingt, Noir et Passe."
Again I placed 1,200 francs on the second
transversal, and out came 35; three times
more I laid down the maximum stake, only
to bring out 17, 36 and 28. Things looked
desperate. I had still some big gold pieces,
but not qute 1,200 francs. Mv notes were all
gone. No, not all! Had I not six of 1.000
francs each carefully buttoned away? I
would take one, only one. Down it went,
and two plaques with it The very croupiers
were getting excited, and for some time back
had been calling out my stakes and their
position to prevent disputes. But alas!
the first reserve note went for the 32,
and as the rest were now bandy
1,200 francs each quickly followed for Nos.
4, 28 and 13. The croupier on my left began
to feel sorry for me.
"Monsienr ought to stop," he said; "he is
out of luck, he'll never win again to-night."
"And what of that? Was it worth while
saving anything? I had come determined
to learn the whole truth about gambling, to
go through all the sensations. I knew most
of them, but not that of losing the last
louis. I had still one note and a few
jjaques; -and although .mjj-ystem had.
THE
proved nothing if not fallible, I stuck to it,
laying my final note and two big pieces on
the second transversal of six. ButI had ceas
ed to follow the game except mechanically;
I was not even conscious of the croupier's
calls. My mind was bnsy with the coming
summer, during which there would need to
be no visitors, no picnics, none of the happy
parties of last year. Instead of all that, the
daily journey to business, with frugal cheer
at both ends of it, to be followed by a winter
of the strictest parsimony.
These thoughts flashed through my mind
in' a moment; the slow rattle, rattle within
the wheel, telling that the ball was once
more settling, brought me back with a jerk
to face the situation with at least a show of
spirit At last all was still; my breathing
quickened, and I heard my heart beating,
but look at the wheel I could not I felt
that all was gone I felt it; no need to see.
I tried to appear indifferent, but I knew all
the sensations now, and must have shown it,
for everybody was looking at me. Mingling
with the croupier's voice I heard a tall fel
low beside me saying, "Bravo," that's what
I call pluck."
But what was the croupier saying?
Twelve? Twelve! Why 12 was in my
transversa!! And sure enough he handed me
6,000 francs amid an approving murmur all
round the table.
"Yes, sir, that's what I call pluck," re-
fieated the tall stranger. "I guessed you
ooked pretty low, so I came round with
these rags" showing me2,000-frano notes
"in case of accidents."
I looked up smiling, for they laugh who
win.
"Thank you very much; but isn't this a
rather funny form of philanthrophy? I'm
afraid you'll find the field for it too wide."
"Oh," he replied, "I couldn't stand by
and let you run short after such a plucky
struggle. You were as good as Grant in the
Shenandoah. But," he added, "you ought
to go on the zero as well."
"My dear sir, the next thing I'll go is the
terrace, to have some fresh air," said I, and
lifting my stake, the 6,000 francs, and the
few remaining plaques, I bade him good
night
Next morning I spent more money than I
like to mention on flowers, to send to the
friends who came so near losing their sum
mer invitations. One box of beauties was
addressed to Twinnie's wife, and by the
same mail I sent him a post-card, bearing
the words, "The Man paid for them, on a
Transversal of Six." D. if. &, in Temple

AN ALDERMAN ACCUSED OP LARCENY
John Driscoll, of Forty-fourth street, was
arrested by Captain O'Brien, tipstaff of the
grand jury, yesterday atternoon, for trying to
tamper with witnesses, and was fined $100
by Judge Collier. Driscoll was charged
with selling liquor without a license and on
Sunday, and his case came before the grand
jury yesterday. Captain O'Brien noticed
Driscoll yesterday and the day before about
the grand jury waiting room and upon as
certaining that he had approacbed the wit
nesses for the prosecution he arrested him.
Driscoll had been telling a witness against
him that he wanted the bill ignored and he
would be willing to pay the costs. Judge
Collier, when Driscoll was taken before
him, remarked that this matter was becom
ing too frequent and an example would have
to be made. He fined him $100 and Dris
coll to stand committed to jail till it was
paid. Driscoll at once paid the money.

him on both the charges of illegal liquor
selling.

The parties to the suit were from Mifflin
township, and the juror in question, it was
stated, seemed to Enow all about the case
before it was heard. Colonel Moore took
the depositions of witnesses to present to
court with his petition. They were to the
effect that the testimony before the grand
jury bad been as to a clear case of assault
and battery. The juror referred to, how
ever, in regard to some testimony, said tbey
didn't want that. He was also heard, it
was stated, to say that he intended to have
the bill ignored.

Tests Taken From Furnace Fires
Cause and Result.
A HEATER'S NOTABLE NARRATIVE
"Anyone who has worked about the glare
and heat of fnrnace fires knows what the
sudden changes trom heat to cold, and the
incessant draughts of foundry and mill
work amount to. It was to these that I at
tribute the origin of my trouble."
The speaker, Mr. David Pitcbford, was
one of those intelligent workers in metal
that form so important a strata in the popu
lation of Pittsburg. For eleven years he
has been heater at the United States Iron
and Tin Mills at Demmler station.
"It was as far back as in '73," Mr. Pitch
ford continued, "that my trouble began.
The sudden changes in temperature in pass
ing from the furnace to the open air were
continually giving me colds. I got into a
condition in which I seemed to be having a
cold most of the time. My head would be
stopped up. Along in the afternoon or
evening my throat would become sore and
raw. When I would lie down at night my
nostrils would be closed up, so that I could
hardly breathe through them.
Mr. David JPUchford, Demmler Station.
"This sort of thing continued nntil I seemed
to be having a cold most of the time. My
throat would fill with mucus. I was constantly
hawking and raising; the mucus dropping back
into my throat seemed to derange my whole
sjstem. The trouble in my head gave me no
peace day or night. What with the distracting,
ringing and buzzing sounds in my ears, the con
stant dull pains in my forehead, and the ever
lasting effort to clear my throat of the phlegm,
life became almost a misery.
"A dry, backing cough added to my distress.
Night sweats came on. and 1 lost in weight and
flesh. My limbs would become swollen and
would feel heavy liko lead. I would have to
get up in the night to congh and raise in order
to clear my throat. I would get up in the
morning tired and weak and entirely unfit for
"Eat? Why, it didn't seem as If I could eat
anything. The very sight of food would nau
seate me. If I would eat ever so little it would
seem to rest like a load in my stomach. I didn't
average two hours' sleep a night. Indeed I
was so weak and miserable and run down that
1 had about given up hopes of ever getting any
better, and it really didn't make much differ
ence to me whether I lived or died. I bad
practically given up hope of ever getting any
better, and all I sought was to get rid of my
discomfort and misery.
"I finally went to the office of Drs. Copeland
Se Blair and placed myself under the care of
Dr. Copeland. I can't begin to tell you what a
change he accomplished in my condition in a
short time. I steadily improved under his care
from the start. I sleep well now, eat well and
feel well. I couldn't wish to feel any better
than I do now. 1 owe my recovery entirely to
Dr. Copeland, and I am very glad to be able to
describe it for publication."

THE ONLY SPECIALIST
In Pittsbnrg or Allegheny for the treatment
and cure of ldney and urinary diseases, is Dr.
nnaier. or xto. 4zu
Penn avenue, where
he has been perma
nently established for
over one year. Hi3
practice has daily in
creased,and hundreds
have gladly testified
to cures received.
The terrible suffering
that Mr. James
Streets has experi
enced is not unlike
that of many others.
He had much pain
and soreness across
'WW saferffSfvSSs the small of his back.
"N NsS?SJit"KflBSSS8SSS-" and it felt verr wm?
The color of his nrinn
DK. shafj-r. uonld often change
f -om a light to a very dark color. The desire
to void it was frequent. He had a weak, tired
feeling. Had dark circles about his eyes, and
lips were dry and parched. His appetite finally
failed him. and what little food he did eat he
would often vomit up. He had a constant pain
in his beau, was dizzy, had a pain in his right
side, and in fact there was hardly any portion
of his body free from pain. He bad palpitation
of tbe heart, yellow skin, and he contlnned
getting worse nntil he lost much flesh. He says:
"I bad been sick for several months, tbe most
of the time being confined to my bed. During
all this time I employed my family doctor, bnt
received no benefit whatever. 1 became dis
couraged and gave up all hope of ever being
cured.
"At last I concluded that my trouble had all
been brought on by kidney disease, which my
family doctor bad entirely overlooked. I called
on Dr. Sbafer, the kidney specialist, who, after
a thorough examination, pronounced my case
curable. I took a course of treatment from
him, and the result is that not one symptom
remains. I never enjoyed better health than I
now. do, and I consider myself entirely cured.
' "JAMES bTREETS,
Thirty-ninth street, near Penn avenue."
Please remember that tbe doctor only treats
kidney, and all forms of urinary diseases, and
surgical diseases.
