GAMBLED BUT ONCE. ' Price Paid For a Parasol by Ike , Founder of Monts Carlo. M. Kane, the founder of the emsino at Monte Carlo, was very ercentric. He was never known to play at the table except on one- occasions and them it was a somewhat costly experience. While on a visit to the Wiesbaden casino with- Mme. Blanc he was in ; the habit of accompanying her on a ; morning stroll each day. Daring one ' of these walks raadame complained of the heat of the sun and requested her husband to buy her a parasol. Accordingly the two entered a< shop, where madame selected a very pretty article, worth 80 francs, which M. Blanc, with a scowl and a muttered grumble, paid. When the casino opened at noongreat was the astonishment of the croupiers and visitors to see M. Blanc place 2 louis on the red at one of the trente et quarante tables. The attendants hastened to get him a chair, but this he declined, saying he was only going to remain a few minutes. When the carda were dealt he won, and, taking up his winnings, left the original stake on the table. Tor a second time he won and had now got back the price of the umbrella. But, not content, he ventured another 2 louis, which this time he lost. Somewhat annoyed at th?>. the founder of the place doubled the stake and won, thus getting back the cost of the umbrella again. Determined, however, to regain his 2 louis, he staked it again, only to see it raked in by the bank. Thus he kept on winning and losing, but never able to recover the 2 louis. i till at last he found himself 25 louis out, all the gold his poeketbook contained. A thousand frane note he had was quickly changed and swallowed up. Then, becoming exasC'rated, he cashed his check for a rge sum and, sitting down, commenced the battle in earnest. Hour after hour passed by, but M. Blanc, his eyes fired on the treacherous rt mavtam fanm V>ta pMlCUVBlUSt liCici uuuj^cu nviu uw post. He kept od planking down heavy stakes until the last deal was declared, when, calmly rising, he seized his yellow cane and made his way through the gaping onlookers into the open air. On reaching home lie found Mme. Blanc playing "patience" with a pack of cards, the offending parasol being on the table. "Madame," said the old gentleman, "do you know what that thing has cost me ?" "Mais oui, mon ami. It cost you 80 francs." "Madame," rejoined he, "you are mistaken. I have just paid the bill ?91,000 francs."?London Mail. 4 OF SLIPP B LAP Company ;?@ :@:?:?:@.@:@:@:@:?: jb ?
