IDDLY, TOO, THE REMEDY ENTAILED CONSTANT GAMBLING. * Irhcar ky Which a Pair of Coalnik<4 To??k (iBMfiitfri rrnird.Yfl Did So? Cease, aad Kveataalljr Ac?alred Wealth. Thin ia the Mory of tiro confirmed ouoff gamblera who *eenied beyond redemption, but who struck a K.rstrm rhereby they continued and yet ceased ambling and CTentually acquired wealth. They were pair of younc southerner* rom the name town and friend* almost rom babyhood. Therefore what one did be other wns almost sure to do. Tbey iade up their minds that they needed to o out and nee the world and be bappy nd that it was not the proper thing to re on their fathers. They caoie to New "ork to make their owu way and to ace hinics and in order to see them better ecame newspaper reporter*. Then they aw thing* good and bad and indifferent nd among them were introduced to a bing named "wheel." Unfortunately in the firftt attempt one f them won $300 and the other $200, nd thereafter they domted their young itch and hundred* of dollara trying to epcat the run. When the "wheel" proved faithless, hey went to horse racing, which ia more angeroua because it includes not mere nek, bnt an element of personal vanity bout one's knowledge of Sunshine and Ipindrift and weights up and bard and oft tracks. Poker snd tbe other diTcrions were added to the list until the pirit of gambling entered their daily ires, and they gambled with each other nd threw dice to see who would pay the reek's board and matched each other to ee who paid for breakfaxtx. Things went on splendid)/ nntil on pay ays It was simply a matter of an hour o ran from the office to a "joint" or a oolroom and to return dead broke ready ad cheerful for another day's work, rhey owed money, restaurant bills and aoney borrowed outright, which they toped to pay some day when they made > big strike. Meanwhile they made little trikes, enough to lead them on. In time hey got to the point when their face* no snyer showed whether they had lost or ron. Therefore they were "full fledged porta."' Therefore, also, hard lines were iggiug into their faces ubout their souths and eyes, and if their families lown in the land of sunshine could hare * " arm in arm tin Park ow there would have been tears or retuffs, according to sex. An both of the young men bad the same irst Christian names it is necessary to all one of them Bill and the other Silly. Bill and Billy were in for a crisis. Hie summer and the greater part of t uumn had gone when it dawned on them hatpin the name of decency, if not in the tame of comfort, It was about time to >uy overcoats. They had spent nights hivering on assignments for the want of t proper coTering. but on pay days it eemed folly to invest money in clothing rhen there ?as a fortune to be mad* by he turn of a wheel. As both men were iretty good in their line of business they oade enough each week to buy three or our new overcoats if they bad been able o let the wheel alone. They realized this ?w"Ib* and li?ft the office together rith their salaries in their pockets, bound or a tailor's shop, and they retained two lours later withoat a cent or an overcoat tnd with watches cone. As they were came to the core they sat town in their Bests in the office at desks icing each other and like true * ports beran to write the stories of their assignnenta ss if nothing had happened. Presently, withoat stopping his writing, Bill emarked: "Billy, you're a fool." "Just what I was thinking of yon," Silly returned, likewise disdaining to halt n his work. "Guess we're both it," Bill said as before. "Maybe, but I know you are," said 1111*. and then for the first time both ?ut down tbeir pencils. "I'll tell you, I'll match yon to see who i the biggest foul; that's about all I'vs Cot left," said Bill "That's all right; I'll bet yon a fiver li [ wanted to I could save more money In i month than you could at that," th? >tb?- said. "?.. go you on that. It's fire up that it the end of tb'e month I nhow a fattei >ank account than you do." And that is all that was said until al be end of the month Bill produced a >ankbook with $80 in it and Billy on< rith $120 credited to bim. Therefort Bill paid Billy the $5 and said: "IH go you acain on that" "All right; make it every month if yoi Jke." "Suits me, my son," said Billy, "but, ook here, sport is sport. I don't think I >ucht to hare taken that fiver. I borrowed $50 from the governor to add t? ;he account and swsmp you. That ieavei W which 1 (rally saved against youi F80, so here is your $5 back and $5 mon irhich I owe." ? ? ? i tj unr.ii Bat BUI nesitaiea; men or mw. Is this thing meant only for legitimatf taring?" "So I supposed." "Then here is the 910 hack. Ton see 1 iras behind and only had $40 in bank. 1 lad everything to gain and nothing tc lose, I figured, so I drew the $40 and played Earners Ida, e?en money, and banked the $80." "Then we will call the thing off foi this month, but hereafter it will be l month that I show a fatter accouat thai jrou do, and no more funny business about it."
