HOW Ht BKTB, WINS AND LOSES AT

Not force the gambling rooms at
Monte Carlo by’ night would be to miss
the grand show of the place. There are
not people enough in the town to make
£ the crowds that press through the
corridor and the atrium in the even
ing. They come in trains from all the
neighboring places—from Cannes, Nice,
Ban Remo, Mentone, -Timatimna from as
far as Genoa. People ride down from
Paris, 30 hours in the rapide, just for a
little “shy” at tbs tables. AH outside
is as bright as day, though chilly.
When I set out for the casino, I came
upon a young English couple standing
near the big fountain, discussing some
thing with great earnestness. They
were good looking, well dressed, with
something of an air of a bridal couple.
What became of them at the moment I
did not notice, and inside I stood for a
few minutes watching tho roulette ta
bles. Ten minutes later I went into the
trente et qusrante room and met them
1 just inside the big arched doorway.
They wore on their way out. Her rosy
, cheeks were rosier than before, and her
face was wreathed in smiles. He was
fairly radiant and looked “very fit, ” as
the Londoners say. In one hand he held
u great bundle of French notes, all
stretched out at full length, justaa they
came from the tables. It took no great
shrewdness to see that for ten minutes
they had been leading active, industri
ous lives and had reaped the reward of
industry and virtue and Were getting
out of the place before they were tempt
ed to try again and lose.
One elderly gentleman was at the
moment doing the leading busineasin
that room and attracting the most at
tention by risking ten 1,000 franc notes
(13,000) at every dealing of the cards.
He was particularly interesting tome,
because he was beyond doubt an Ameri
san. He was a fine looking man, with
1 gray hair, iron gray beard, well trim
med. a shrewd eye that watched every
move tho dealer made, and of course in
the regulation black evening clothes.
His face showed him to be a man who
had made his money, not Inherited it
I think that lumber was the foundation
of hie fortune in the northwest some
where, but long enough ago to give him
time to have the sawdust brushed out
of his clothes, for he was very smooth
and well groomed. Not a word was
said around the table, so there was no
chance to hear what language he spoke.
He was cue of those men who would
not look at all out of place leading a
prayer meeting, but who might be de
pended upon for a ready revolver if he
caught the dealer at any foul play.
The notes came out of one of his vest
pockets, but not carelessly. There was
none of the usual effort to look aa if
risking $2,000 every three minutes was
an everyday affair with him. He did
everything with caution, always delib
erating over what square he should lay
his money upon, and sometimes chang
' ing it to some other square after he had
laid it dawn. But whether he won or
lost he showed no emotion whatever.
He won oftener than he lost while I
watched him, putting the winnings al
ways into the same vest pocket At one
time the banker made a mistake in du
plicating a jdleof his notesthat had
won, but thia did not bring a word from
him. His eyes were open, and instead
of picking up the pile he merely pushed
it back toward the banker, which waa
a sufficient hint for a recount When
the mistake was corrected and the miss
ing note supplied, he added the pile to
the big lump in his pocket
Like almost every player around the
trente et quarante tables, he was there
strictly for business. It was not a few
dollars laid on for the novelty of the
thing, but a deliberate speculation in
the hope of winning. My experience of
gambling houses is fortunately rather
limited, but I have men the big places
of Saratoga and Long Branch and one
or two in New York and some very
large ones in Cuba and Mexico. Never
have I seen such a businesslike air in
any gambling room as there is here.
You may not be wicked enough to know
that generally a great deal of smoking
and drinking and some eating go with
fashionable gambling, but that Is the
case. The sideboard is almost as neces
sary aa the tables, and George and Sam
bo and Henry are kept busy carrying
champagne and cooktails to the thirsty I
players. Thia is pure business with
“the house, ” even where these things
are not charged for, for does not a man
become the more reckless the more al
cohol he absorbs?
But there is none of that here. There
is no smoking in the rooms, and no
drinks are served at the tables. As far
aa I have seen, there is no place in the
casino building where drinks can be
had, though possibly there may be some
coxy corners that I have not discovered.
It is as much a business house as a
wholesale dry goods store, and the
profits are larger for the firm. This
gives it a very cold blooded atmosphere,
for there is not a particle of interest in
either of the games outride of the finan
cial risks involved. They are stupid
games of doctored chance that a navvy
can play as well aa an arithmetician.—
