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.
