He was not only bright, but practical. Before he was thirty he hail nriMimulateil a snug little fortune, ninl slnre, to use a paradoxical expres sion, no one feels so old as a young person lie concluded that his work was llnlstied and that he would re tire from business and devote himself to travel. He got no farther than Florence, Italy, when lie met an Amer ican family and fell in love With one of the daughters, who was studying art ll<* spent a winter there winning o: ,rt thing and losing another. What lie won was Kate Spencer's heart; what 1 he lost was his fortune. A. part of each day he was with Kate, either in tier studio or gadding. In the even ings after 11 o'clock he was always at i a club, where lie developed a passion for gambling. It was there that he dropped his accumulations. One spring morning he borrowed suf- Sclent means from bis prospective fa ther In law to take him back to Amor- | len. This was a disappointment both to himself and to Kate, who had prom- I ied to be Ids wife. But Herbert was plucky and had plenty of confidence. He told Kate that three years at most would see hlni as well olT 11s lie had I been when he reached Florence. Spur red on by love, ho weift to work In earnest and was lucky enough to re gain all lie had lost. Two years after * Ills departure from Florence In* re- 1 turned there to claim his bride. "Ilerliei't,” said Kate, “suppose your old lablt of gambling should come back to you. We might have to wait two years more, and papa says that every time a man begins over again It Is much hard *r. You might never ; make another fortune." “No, F>ny u; 1:) more gambling for me, T,»t us be 111,1 vl at once and go for 1 1 rip 10 Fs.v ;> i VRcniuhi in Flor •:•■•** Jmft long 1 euoti ;h to '** ' your resolution.

At 10 o'clock a wedding couple, the bridegroom ratle.-r sleepy looking, call ed at tlie American embassy and were niurrlcd. At 1 o’clock tbey took a train for Calais, thence to New York.

He ! did so, hut soon began to yawn, then proposed that they play for a small I stak<* to make the game interesting. A paid was quite enough. A flush came to Herbert's cheek. Kate was , watching him to see what lie would ! do. He looked at her to see what she wished hint to do. To ids surprise, sit * sold: •*To play for a little stake like that Is no harm.” In half an hour the game had grown to sindi proportions that Kate with drew. As soon as she hud left the ta ble the oilier two not only raised the stakes, but raised the Unfit. Kate took a Scat at mother table, took up a book aud began to read, now and again east ing a troubled glance at her lover. At 11 o’clock the count proposed to end the game, but Herbert Insist *d oil go ing on, inasmuch as be had lost nearly half of bis fortune Then the count proposed to adjourn the sitting to his club. T" this Kate objected and told them cither to cease to play Or contin ue where they were. At l o'clock Herbert begged his fian cee to go to bed. She declined. At 2 she asked how the game stood, and Herbert told her that he had lost near ly everything lie possessed. At fi lie excitedly announced that he had re gained three-quarters of his losses. Then lie proposed to double both stake nml limit, to which the count consent ed. At l Herbert had but a thousand dollars in tlie world. Kate got up from her seat, went over to the table where turst the two were playing and looked nt the game. Herbert, wlio was betting high, won $2,(XX) on one hard and lost <r:>, 'aw' on the next. Taking out a pen cil, he figured Ids losses and found that In* Imd nothing left, lie looked up at Kate piteously. They must wait till he had made another fortune. But it was not this that caused the greater l suffering. It was that the passion for i gambling laid him again in its toils, j Kate put her arms about him. “Herbert," she said, "when you pro posed to be married at once and visit Egypt I did not believe the plan was advisable. It is plain that you must be at work in order to refrain from gambling, for you know that when you *re busy you have no temptation to do so. If you like, we will be married to morrow, or, rather, today, and go at ouee to America, you to take up your business ns soon as you arrive. ’ "Signorina,” interrupted tlie count, “although l am a close friend of your family, it is not meet that I should be present at this interview.

Edward Courte- miy and tlie Earl of Devon, and Is said to have been inscribed upon the tombstone of tlie latter: "I expect to pass through this world but once. If, therefore, there be any kindness I can show or auy good thing I can do to any fellow being, let me do it now. Let me not defer it nor ueglect it. for I shall not pass this way again.” FOR RENT.

During one summer which I spent among exclusively French people 111 1 hotel at Saint-Germain I estimated tlmt I lust quite twenty-four hours out of each week saying good morning and good evening to the men. women, lit tle children and dogs about mo. If you eacountcr tlie suine person twenty-five times in tlie same duy, you must smile rapturously, pause, at least shake hands if you do not kiss,-ceremoniously inquire how lie or she is “going” and ceremoniously bid him or her “an re volt'” at parting. Not only every man and woman expects this, but all the little children toddle up to yon, shako bauds and exact the same amount of ceremony. Then every well regulated French family has a dog that more than likely occupies a chair and eats off a plate beside you at the table, so that it is considered churlish if you (lo not also stop and tell the dog “bon jour" and ";iu revoir” a dozen times h day, pausing to take the pnw which lie is prettily taught to extend to you. When the washerwoman brings home your lineu, there are at least five min utes spent in ceremoniously greeting and parting from her. In the operation of receiving and paying for linen you exchange “mercis” and “pardons" not fewer than ten times. Any other serv ing person or tradesman who comes tn do business with you throughout the day you similarly'' receive with “bon jour, monsieur,” and “au revoir, mon sieur.” and you thauk him aud beg bis pardon as ofteu as you can possibly get the words into the length of time he has to stay—Harper’s Bazar.
