BEGIN HERE TODAY John Ainsley, a man of education and breeding, becomes a master crook—preying upon other thieves. At Monte Carlo he develops a desire to meet the clever thief who stole a pearl necklace from the throat of the Baronne and Esterelle in he crowded halls of the Casino. At the roulette tables Ainsley watches a young Englishman and his strikingly pretty American bride lose all the money they have. Behind them stands a tall, black-bearded man. urging them on. "Unless the Prince lends money, we have nothing.” says the young husband, glancing at the black-bearded one. The wife looks accusingly at the Prince. "You encouraged Jack," she declares. Sow GO ON WITH THE STORY B’ s ECAUSE I know that his luck must turn," said the I-.. Russian. He smiled. "You hesitate to borrow from me? It is nothing. In a little while you will make some successful coups: your husband will repay me; we will order champagne and laugh together at your moment of despair.” Icily contemptuous, she disdained him. She laid a slimly beautiful hand upon her husband’s shoulder. "Come, Jack,” she said again. This time the young man obeyed her. He rose and they walked off together. But I noticed that the Russian accompanied them. I felt a pang of pity for the young Englishman and his American bride. 1 could guess it all so easily; a honeymoon trip to Monte Carlo, the fascination of roulette: the unanticipated losses, the plunging to recoup the sinister friend who encouraged them to wager more than they could afford. It is a story that has always been told and always will be told, when wealth craves youth and beauty. Sometimes youth and beauty escape, but how frequent are the other times! But, after all, it was none of my business. I should have liked to drop a word of warning in the young man’s ear, but if his wife’s caution was unheeded by him, of what avail wouid be JJie word of a stranger? So I returned to the game. The little incident had passed unnoticed. They are a sophisticated lot at Monte; and everything, even death

itself, is dismissed with a shrug and a smile. And now the red returned. I lost thrice In succession, shifted my al legiance, and beheld black turn up In disgust I rose and walked to another table . I arrived in time to see the Baronne d’Esterelle being paid off. She had backed seventeen for the maximum in half a dozen ways, and was receiving from the admiring croupiers, always insolently solicit ous for tips, nearly forty thousand francs. The spectacle was disgusting. I had just seen a woman of rare beauty suffering because her husband had lost a sixth of what this profiteer's wife had won. My sympathy is with loveliness and charm. So I went to another table. Fortune eluded me. I sought her at every tatyle in the Cercle Prive, and then I looked for her in the public rooms outside. But still she escaped me. Glancing at my watch, I found that it was 10 o'clock, and so decided to try my luck at the Sporting Club, that other establishment maintained by the Casino au thorities, where the fashion and wealth of the world assemble. And if it be wondered at that I had secured entree to jthis pjace, let wonderment cease. One merely mentions the name of a well-known club, anywhere in the world, claims membenmip therein, and is elected to the Sporting Club. It calls itself exclusive, but no tempje of vice—and gambling is a vice—can be too rigorous in its scrutiny of applicants for admission. After all;- the ultimate test of fashion, or society, is the possession of money. With enough money one can ruffle it with the King of Engjand. With the appearance of money, one can ruffle it with the King’s cousin at the tables of the Sporting Club. So I descended in the elevator to the underground passage that leads from the Casino, through the Hotel de Paris, to the Sporting Club, and in another elevator rose to the gam-bling-rooms.

“GO TO MY ROOM, OPEN MY TRUNK AND CASH BOX." I went first to the cosy little bar. with its invitirg tea-tables at which so little tea Is drunk. I ordered a glass of milk. I find that the. beverage is soothing to the nerves, and nerves need soothing when one gambles, even though for small stakes. While I drank it, I surveyed the little room. And there in the alcove I saw the American girl, her husband, and the big Russian whom he had called “thr Prince.” They were evidently ending a discussion. For I saw the Russian hand the young man a sheaf of bank-notes, saw the girl's expression of despondency, and noted the grin of triumph on the Prince’s face. The jaws of the wolf were near, I felt, to the white throat of the quarry. Then the young man leaped to his feet, ard rushed for the roulette-room. The girl would have followed, hut the Russian whispered to her. His thick, hairy hand restyd on her wrist. She shuddered. —she stayed. Well, once again it was no business of mine. I wandered into the balon de Roulette, and at the end table began backing the first dozen. For half an hour I had varying luck, and then the young Englishn an came to my table. His face was haggard. E/iuently those successful coups which the Prince had men-

tioned had not yet been made by him. And within the next ten minutes I saw him lose as many thousand francs, rise from the table, and with a curse, leave the room. Shortly thereafter, finding that I had no clgarets, and not seeing an attendant at hand, I started for the bar. In the corridor I came upon the Englishman and the Prince. Ti e Russian was speaking. "I am sorry, my friend, but I have no more money with me. Perhaps, too, it is as well that you cease gambling tonight. Luck is not with you. The youth’s face became whitter. ’But I must play tonight,” he protested. Now, eavesdropping, save in the line of business, is not a habit of mine. I trust that it is not necessary for me to repeat with frequency that, save where it conflicts absolutely with my profession, I am a gentleman. But I was strangely interested in the drama being unfolded before me. The beauty of t,he American girl had won my heart. So I stepped back into the roulette room. An Italian was making some sensational winnings, and no one else would leave the room until his spectacular luck changed. I cojild listen unnoticed. —_ "But why not tomorrow? The salles de jeux will be open tomorrow.” smiled the Russian. I could not longer see the young man’s face, but 4iis tones told me that its pallor had been succeeded by the crimson of shame. "The hotel, Prince,” he faltered. "The bill was presented yesterday. They asked me about It tonight. I dare not return —" "Then perhaps Madame, your wife, who has returned Jthere, will be subjected to annoyance,” said the Prince. "Then, of course, you must win. And I have money in my room. But I cannot go there iust now. There is a gentleman awaiting me downstairs. It is a matter that has

to do with statecraft. You will understand. You know the troublous condition of Russia. And I shall be engaged nearly all night.” His voice grew uncertain, as though he were choosing his words with difficulty, uncertain of what he was about to say. “It has to do with the overthrow of Bolshevism, this little meeting of tonight," he went on. “In fact, I may not be back until morning. But even so!” His voice grew suddenly assured. “Here are my keys, mon sieur. See, this is the key to my apartment. This other is the key to my trunk —the big trunk that you will find behind the screen in my bedroom. And this tiny key will unlock a steel cash box that you will find in the top drawer of the trunk. Go there, monsieur, to my room, open my trunk and cash box, take from the latter what you will, and return here. And if good fortune does not come your way, reserve enough to pay your hotel bill, and capital with which to resume play in the morning.” “You are a friend!” cried the Englishman. “Why not?" laughed the Russian. I heard him slap the young man on the back. “Go by the elevator and the underground passage. My apart ment is 322. You will be back here in ten minutes. No, §ay no more. Thank me when fortune has boon good." I came through the doorway then. It was al! I could do to restrain myself from apologizing to the Russian for my base opinion of him. I saw the young man turn down the corridor toward the elevator. The Russian went aown the stairs, and I followed behind him, reclaiming my hat and coat from the bestiaire where I had deposited them on arriving, and descended the outer steps of the club. I, too, had rooms in the Hotel de Paris, but I wished a breath of fresh air before I turned in. But to my surprise, I saw mounting the hill toward the hotel, hurrying at a great rate, the figure of the

prince. Yet I had heard him say that he was to meet someone downstairs in the sporting club. I was surprised, at seeing him now. Also I was surprised to find that the stars had disappeared and that a cold rain was proving the fact that February is not May, even though it counterfeits the gentler month occasionally here upon the Riviera. So I gave up my plan to obtain fresh air, and started for the hotel. A belated cabman hailed me. It was only a few hundred yards, but one can be thoroughly wet by a Riviera rain in a few feet.
