BOERS ARE BARBARIANS. • How They Bulued Cho Property o; the Ke He Porgot One Very 'important Wiling., However, aud lLia Lust Plunging Wager Brought Ruin. and Tragedy In Its Wake. A gentleman who lives in the Blue Grass and who has been a very ex- tensive traveler has a Silver service's° magnificent in design and heavy in weight that its peers in the who world may be numbered on the fli'ige of one hand. The owner is even nos when past middle age, a "good fellow who loves conviviality, and no game too hazardous for him if he has ti amount of the stakes. He takes plea ure in telling the history of his ser ice, as it concerns the most audaciou game of chance he ever witnessed. "When I was in Bolivia some yea. ago," he always begins, "I got in wit a crowd of men, English and native Whose passion for gambling knew n bounds. Strange'as it may seem, non of them knew poker, and I naade my self solid with them by teaching them but their great game was roulette. "There was a little shop in Bogott where they had a miniature Mout; Carlo, and many nights CIO we spen around the great wheel, with our mon ey and prospects hanging on the blacl or red. The wheel was entirely mad of wood, and when it was spun aroun a cover was put over the machine s that they could keep on betting whe It had ceased to turn. ' "There is a worm down there I that climate that gets into furnitur and bores until nothing but a 'shell left. You may, sit on a chair tha looks perfectly strong, but at the firs touch it collapses. This seems irrele vant, but it is not, as you may se later. In fact, that worm plays th title role in the tragedy I ain going t tell. "There was a wealthy Bolivian plant er who had been a general in the wa between Bolivia and Chile back in th early eighties. He was never absen a night from our games, but he woulc frequently stand about for a week am. never make a bet larger than $10 Then he would suddenly cry out jus as the operator was about to lift tbe cover and register the highest bet the house would permit. Next he would place all the money he could find tak ers for among the gentlemen present Before the season was far advanced he had won great sums, and we had all felt the results of his freakisb luck. It seemed that when he played 7- black he could not lose, and he seemed to realize it, for when he did call that number he would put all he owned in the balance. "Still he was a gentleman and a fa- mous duelist, and no one cared to question his methods. It went on this way for two months. Then one night the wheel stopped, and there was the silence of the prairies in the room. We could hear the ball fall into the compartment distinctly. an,r. e could hear the distant tinkling of a mandolin. The planter leaped up as from a cata- lepsy: 'Seven -black, senores. I will take all any of you or all of you will bet.' Well, I had been winning strong and was so much to the good that was reckless. " 'Five dollars,' I said. " 'Good, senor,' he replied. "He placed his entire fortune in dif- ferent wagers. There were a number of strangers present, and they all seemed big flush. Then slowly, as a Priest officiating at some solemn, bar- baric ceremony, the banker removed the top. We all stood for a moment. and the tension was such that a car- riage wheel on the cobblestones, out- side made us all start. 'Red,' came tbe announcement. "The Bolivian was white as snow, but his voice was unsbak-en as he said; 'Gentlemen, you shall all, be paid. As for me, I am ruined.' "That night he shot himself, and his will, which had been written just be- fore his death, arranged for the pay- ment of all his debts. I was to re- ceive the service for my share, tboug,b it is worth much. more. But what I valued much more than that was a note in which he expressed his attach- ment for me and asked me to accept the silver as a gift and not a debt. "He left also a curious manuscript, written some time before, which seem- ed to be a sorl of private journal. He stated in this°t that his ears were So accurate that be could detect the dif- ference between the fall of a pin and a needle. One night, so be says, he heard the ball fall into the compartment wit].) a hollow thud, and when the machine was opened he made note of the num- ber and color, '7 -black.' Later, when alone for a moment, he found that the aforesaid worm had bored under that compartment. He sounded the excava- tion with a straw and found that it extended no farther tban that one number. Then all he had to do was to listen and when his acute hearing told him that his number had come to get all the mon6' possible on it. "Yes, gentlemen, he had all Ills plans laid to perfection. There was only one weak spot in his calculations. Ile for- got that those worms could keep on boring." Not Respofteible. • "Say, what right leave you got to kick?" asked the man. "You never vote." . "That's just the reason 1 have a right to kick," Said the tall matt with the un- laanpy look.
