Ho had come in a motor car, and he had come a long way, but he hardly knew why he had come. He hardly knew in these days why he did any thing. But, then, one must do something. It would be Christmas soon, and he thought that he would rather get it over on the Riviera than anywhere else, because the blue and gold weather would not remind him of other Christmases which were gone pure, white, cold Christmases, musical with joy bells and sweet with aromatic pine, the scent of trees born to be Christmas trees. There had been a time when he had fancied it would be a wonder ful thing to see the Riviera. He had thought what it would be like to be a rich man and bring a certain girl here for a moon of honey and roses. She was the most beautiful girl in the world, or he believed her so, mliinli ia fiirantlv thn samfi t.liirif . and he had imagined the iov of walk ing with her on just such- a terrace as this Casino terrace where ho was walking, now, alone. She would be in white, with one of those long ermine thing3 that women call stoles, an ermine muff (the big, "granny" kind that swallows girlish arms up to the dimples in their elbows) and a hat which they would have bought together in Paris. . They would have bought jewels, too, in the same street where they found the hat, the Rue de la Paix, which she had told him she longed to see. And she would be wearing some of the jewels with the white dress just a few, not many, of course. A string of pearls (she loved pearls), a swallow brooch (he had heard her say she admired those swallow brooches, and he never forgot anything she said), with per haps a sapphire studded, buckle on her white suede belt. Yes, that would be all, except the rings, which would lia hidden under her gloves on the dear little hands whose nails were like enameled rose 1 fiVCB. When she moved, walking beside him on the terrace, there would be a mysterious silky whisper and rustle, something like that you hear in .the woods in the spring, when the leaves are crisp with their pale green youth, and you shut your eyes, listening to the breeze telling them the secrets of life. There would be a fragrance about the white dress and the laces and ermine and the silk things that you could not see, a fragrance as mysterious as the rus tling, for it would seem to belong to the girl and not li n tta iYtYia TTnTTl BT1V bottle or bag of sachet pow- der a sweet, fresh, indefinable fragrance, like the smell of a tea rose uter rum. ., , They would have walked together, they two, and he would have, been so proud of her that every time a passeroy cast a gi ration at her face he would feel that he could hardly keep in a laugh of joy or a shout: "She is mine I .She is mine I" . . But he had been poor in the old days, when from far away he had thought of this terrace and the moon of honey. and roses and love. It had all been a dream then, as it was now, too sweeterer to come true. He thought of the dream and of the toy;who had dreamed it half bitterly, half sadly, on this his first day in the place of the dream. He was rich, as rich as' he had seen himself k tte .impcibla picture, and it would have been almost too easy to buy the white dress r ' 1 .1 1.

' ; . ,i-The young man was from the south, though a south very different from this. He had the warm blood of Virginia in his veins and just so much .of the gamblers spirit as cannot be divided from a certain recklessness in a man with a temper ament. He had seen plenty of life in his own coun try in the nine years since he was twenty, and he knew all about roulette and trente et quarante, among other things desirable and undesirable. Still, gambling seemed to be made particularly fascinating here, and he wanted to be fascinated, wanted it badly. He was in the mood for the heavy hush of the rooms, for the closeness and the rich perfumes which,5 mingling together, seem like the course if she would mind you must say no. But I must confess I'm hungry as a wolf, and it would be somewhere to sit and talk together quietly, you know." .

He had not played and had merely walked through, looking at the people, but now he went to a trente et quarante table, and, reaching over the Vinii1r1pr of tha nlavers not Tso "many as in the roulette rooms-he put a 500 franc note on couleur. It won. He let the money lie, and it won again. A third time and a fourth he left the notes on, ana sun 1 luck was with him. He was in for a good run. As it happened, nobody else had been playing higher than plaques, the handsome hundred frano goldpieces coined for the principality of Monaco, and people began to watch the newcomer, as they always do one who plays high and is lucky. On the' fifth deal he had won the maximum. He took off half and was leaving the rest to run when a voice close to his shoulder said; "Oh, do take it all off! - I feel it's going to lose now. To please me." He glanced aside and saw an exceedingly pretty, dark face, which looked vaguely familiar. With a smile he took up all the notes, and only just in time. Couleur lost inverse won. - - - "Oh, I'm so glad." said the owner of the pretty face. She spoke English with a slight but bewitching foreign accent, and her eyes shone at bim like brown jewels under the tilted brim of a hat made all nt ninlr and rrimson roses. She was rather like a rose, too, a rich, col orful, spicy rose, of the kind which unfolds early. He knew that he had seen her before and wondered where. a., oil 1 rntW nice to be sooken to by some one ottier than a hotel manager or a waitersome one who was good to look at and friendly. He lost interest in the game and gained interes in ino "Thank you," said he. "You've brougnt me iuc. '1 hope you don't thKk I speak always to strangers like that,? said the eirl in the rose hat.
