Wheo Lucien De Hem saw his : jaet bank';.'note/w^ed hi bj the ^croupier and rose from therouiette I table where ne baot just los* the re ' mains of his little fe/tune, ho felt a5 if the \earth was spinning and u. ?s if he could not hold himself np. Complexly upset, he threw him felf down upon the leather covered r settee wMch extended around tbs room. For . fpw moments h? looked f vaguely ??on^d the j^mbliVig room . in whict?jhe had wasted rho best years of his life, realised that he ^DB hopelessly ruined, remembered that a cmpmedc held a pistol wita jffhich his father, Q?peral pe Hem, * then only '....ey captain, had used so trell at the attack on Zaaicha; then, !overcomo by fatigue, he foll into a ?eep sleep. WTien he awoke, he judged, after. ?lancing at the clockj that ho had filept scarce iy bali' an hour and he ifelt an in *eribus desire to breathe7 ?the fresh ~ight air. Tho hand Of f ithe clock showed that it was a ? ?quarter to i?. i Rising and. - stretching out his 1 ?nns, Lucien, suddenly remembered that it was Christmas eve, and as it in irony his memory carried him [ back to the daya of, his childhood, ?nd he saw himself putting'his shoes by the fireplace before going to bed. ' I Just at this-moment old Dronski,' a devotee of the gambling table, came up to Lucien mumbling some thing behind bis dirty gray beard. "Lend me &f rones, sir. j I have not stirred from h?re for two days, and I m that two .days the 17 has not come ' np. Laugh or not, cs you please, but I would give my hand if to night at midnight that number does not win." I Lucien De Hem shrugged bis shoulders. He did not baye enough in his pockets to make the contribu tion which the inmates of \the place styled ?the Colander's 1?0 sous.^ .He went into the cloak room, put on bis wraps and, descended the staircase with foverish agility. Dur ing the four hours that lucien had ibeen i? Re place it , d snowed steadily,-'"and toe streets were white. iThe ndned gambler^ehivered tinder ibis furs and walked quickly along. (His steps were soon arrested by a (pitiable spectacle. On a stone fence covered with ?now, which, according to tho an; cient custom, stood before the open ing of a hotel, a little girl six or seven years old, scarcely covered by "a ragged black dress, was sitting, r?he had fallen asleep in spite of the .bitter cold in an attitude of fatigue .and abandonment, and her poor lit itle head and delicate fih?uldeis w*^e bent in ' s% angle ' . I n the wall and rested against the icy stone. One of the sabots the child woro had slipped Off her foot and w;as lying in .front of her. With a mechanical gesture Lucien De Hem put hie hand, into bis pock et. Thon ht- -remembered that a mo ment before ho had. not been ab% to find a single piece to give the errand boy at\the club. Urged by an instinctive feeling of pity, however, he went up to th? jchild, and was about to take her; ir*. Ibis arms perhaps and carry her to a .place of shelte r for the night when, ?rn the sabot lying in tho snow, he .saw something, glittering.

I ; v ? louis. ! That meant several day3 ;of rest and ease for the beggar. Lu iden was about to waken her and toll ?her about it when he heard close to ibis un*, as in a-dream, o voice-the joiceJ of the Polhnd>>~murmuring 'these'words : ; "I have not atirr'cd from here for ?two days, and for: two days the 17 has not como up. I woulcl give my thand. if tonight at midnight that number does not win," ?L.^JPbis yoting mab bf twenty-three, ?who had never done a dishonorable ?act?conceived a horrible thought.

Bunning back as fast as hq could to thc gambling house ?he re-entered, bounded up tho stair case, thrust open the door of the ac cursed place, entered. just ss the "clock wo3 sounding the first stroke. ;of midnight, put the gold louis on [the green cloth ?ind ?cJxc?ainted.

But tho clock struck 1,1:15,1:46, ;j -?nd Luci?? wa? atulisit?iagat the ' mal table. Finally, a minute ore 2, the proprietor arose ! brusquely and said in a loud voice: "Tho ba^k is closed, gentlemen. ? Enough for today." \ Lucien bounded to his feet. Boughly rebnising the gamblers who cro wded - about him and' regarded him with oavious adndration he hurried and ran toward the stone bench. From a distance he es^r the child under tho gaslight. ^Thank Qodl,? ho,cried. ?She is stiU there." !; v He went up to her and took her hand. "Ob, how cold she is 1 Poor little irung!" He took her in his arms and raised her up. The child's head fell back ward and she did not awaken. IMf'How soundly, One sleeps at ber age!" He pressed her against his chest to warm her, and, seized with a vague anxiety, he was about to kiss her oh her eyes to awaken her. Then he saw with terror that they were half open and that they were set and ghastly. A horrible su^pwion crossed his brain. He put his mouth close to the child's. No breath came out. u p^Whil? Lucien was winning a ?or-1 tune with tho gold louis stolen from the child she had died, died with cold. ; Choking with anguish,, Lucien tried to cry out, and in the . effort ho\ aroused from ms nightmare ?nd found himself lying oh the settee in * LO clubroom, where he had dropped leep shortly before midnight, and ! .here the porter, the last to leave in he morning, had left bim undis trbed, out of sympathy for hi? isfortune. The December morn shone through "ie frosty panes; Lucien went out, med his watch, took a bath, ate breakfast, then Wont tb the re? crating office, where he enlisted as Srivale in the. First- regiment of ican chasseurs. Today Lucien De Hem ia a lieu inaht. He has only his salary, to Jve huon, but it is sufficient, as he is prudent and never touches a card, seems that he even saves seme ig.
