Shortly thereafter, finding that I
het no cigarettes, and not seeing" ali
attendant at hand, I started for the
bear. ` In the corridor I came' upon the
Englishman and the Prince: The Itue-
sian was speaking.
"I am sorry, my friend, ,but I have
no more money with me. Perhaps,
'too, it is as'well. that you cease gambl-
ing tonight. .Luck is not with you."
The 'youth's 'face became whiter,
'But I must play tonight," he 'Pro-
tested.
Now, eavesdropping, save in the
line of business, is not a habit of mine,
I trust that it is not necessary for me
to repeat with frequency that, save
'where it conflicts absolutely with my
profession, 'I ani a gentleman. • But I
was strangely interested in the drama
being unfolded before me. The beauty
of the American girl had won my
heart. So I stepped back into the rou-
lette x4oni. An Italian was making
sone sensational winnings, and no one
else would leave the room until his
spectacelar luck changed. 1 (could

"But why net, to -morrow? The sakes

the Russian.
I could not longer see the young
man's face, but his tones told nie that
its pallor had been succeeded by, the
crimson of shame.
"The hotel, Prime" he faltered.
"The bill was presented yesterday.
They asked nie about it tonight. I
dare not return—"
"Then perhaps Madame, your wife,
who has returned. there, will be sub-
jected to annoyance," said the Prince.
"Then of course you nilast win. And
I have money in my room. But I can-
not go there just now.

His voice grew uncertain, as though
he were choosing his words with diffi-
culty, uncertain of what he was about
to say.
"It has to do with the overthrow
of Bolshevism, this little meeting of
tonight," he went on. "In fact, I may
not be back until morning. But even
so!" His voice grew suddenly assur-
ed. "Here are my keys, monsieur:
See, this is the key to my apartment

this tiny key will unlock a steel cash-

"You are a friend!" cried t
,�oh °ng-

"Why not?" laughed the Russian.
I heard him slap the young man on
the back. "Go by the elevator and
the underground passage. My apart-
ment is. Three -twenty-two. You will
be back here in ten minutes. No, say
no more. Thank me when fortune has
been good."

At the roulette tables Ainsley

stands a tall, black bearded man, urg-
ing them on. "Unless the Prince lends

So I descended in the elevator to

"You hesitate to borrow from nie? It
is nothing. In a little while you will
make some successful coups; year bus

Icily contemptuous, she disdained

upon her husband's shoulder. "Come,

• This time the young man obeyed

gether. But I noticed that the Rus-
sian accompanied them. I felt a pang
of pity for the Englishman and his
American bride. . I could guess it all
so easily; a_honeynioon trip to Monte
Carlo, the fascination of roulette; the
unanticipated losses, the plunging to
recoup, the sinister friend who encour-
aged them to wager more than they
could afford. It is astory that has
always been told, and always will be
told, when wealth craves youth and
beauty. Sometimes youth and beauty
escape, but how frequent are the other
times.
But, after all, it was none of my
business. I should have liked to drop
a word of warning in the young man's un
ear, but if his wife's caution was -
heeded by him, of what avail would be
the word of a stranger?
. So I returned to the game. The lit-
tle incident had passed unnoticed.
They are a sophisticated let at Monte;
and everything, even death itself, is
dismissed with a shrug and a smile.
And now the red returned. I lost

Prospectors Fly
to Canada's North
Rich Deposits impossible to
Reach by Other Means
More 'than 1,000,000 square miles
of virgin territory in Northern Can-
ada, will be explored by 200 or more
prospectors who are to be sent into.
this territory in aircraft, according to
an announcement made in New York
by Northern Aerial Minerals Explora-
tion, Ltd., of Canada.
John E. Hammell, president ;sand
managing director of the company,
which will operate 17 aeroplanes,
equipped with sklis for -rough land-
ing on snow and ice and platoons for
summer work on the northern Iaakes,
recently went to New York to pur-
chase additional aircraft equipment.
Hammen, although 51 years old and
many times a „millionaire, is tearing
to fly, and expects to have his pilot's
license within a few months. He has
been prospecting since 1905, and his
activities have covered the Canadian
North from Northern Quebec to Nor-
thern Manitoba.
Accordng to' Mr. Hammell, the
prospecti's of the N,A.M.E. will be
taken into new areas by fast cabin
planes in a Pew hours instead of sev-
eral weeks. Theyrwill be kept well
supplied with foga,. tools and explo-
sives, and contact established with
skilled engineers and geologists who
will be flown to the properties later
in large transport planes. The small
planes are to be the "prospectors'
taxi -cab in the north" and the bigger
planes will solve the problem of large
transportation of men in numbers,
supplies in bulk and machinery of con-
siderable capacity.
"There are inaccessible regions
never before touched by the foot of
the white man that are as rich in
mineral deposits as the famous trails
blazed to California and the far
reaches of the Yukon," said Mr. Ham-
mell. "The only way to prospect in'
these regions, carrying enough sup-
plies to sustain the exploration party,
is iSy 'adays The of hard-
ship, starvation and death which fol-
lowed the opening of other famous
:gold coasts, will be 'a thing of the
past."

I went first to the cosy little bar,
with its inviting tea -tables at which
so.; little tea is drunk. I ordered a
glass of milk. I find that the beverage
is soothing to the nerves, and nerves
need soothing when one gambles, even
though -for small -stakes. While, I
drank it, I surveyed the Iittle room.
And there in the alcove 1 saw the Am-
erican girl,, her husband, .and the big
Russian whom . he had called "the
Prince." They were evidently ending
a discussion. For I saw the Russian
hand the young man a sheaf of 'bank-
notes, saw the girl's expression of de-
spondency, and noted the grin of tri-
umph on the Prince's face. The jaws
of the wolf were near, I felt, to the

Gum -Dipping is an exclusive

every cord with rubber and
prevents the cords from chaf-

In ordinary tires these cords
are uninsulated. In flexing
they chafe against each other,
causing 'internal heat and fric-

causing blowouts and tire fail-
