' ... TIJE CONFESSION, Why Ho Swore Off. 'No,"sftid the old drummer, nercelr, to a Free Press reporter, "I play no games of chance any more, not even the simplest kind, for money. Won t you pitch pennies? persisted his companion. "That least of all, iio said, visibly affected. "Why not?" asked the other. "Do you see this , dollar?" ho said, Jlaking a cart wheel from his pocket. Well, thereby hangs a tale. .Listen : Ten years ago I was, and had boon foi live years.Kvelling for a hiz diamond importing house in New" York, and .as Insnal I carried with me a large unmbor 'of gems, often having as much as fifty thousand dollars worth. One day four of us all ia the same line met in Denver and that evening we .were drinking and matching dollars in my room. It was a hobby of mine, as it was of one of the other men, Frank BL, who was as inveterate a mateher as ever the late John T. Raymond was. Well, we drank and matched, and kept at it until we began to toss up at five dollars a toss, and the other two soon backed out and watched us. I guess we were both pretty drank, .for before I knew it we had made a pot of a hundred dollars, and were tossing best two in three for it. I lost and lost again, and then, having uo more money, . I put up a diamond igainst his pile. I lost that, too, and then put up two against his money and what had been my diamond, and thai time I won. "I think we were both half crazy now, for Frank pulled out one of the pocket books from the inside of his vest and laid it open on the table, and asked me me angrily if I dared to match it. O; course I dared, and I dared more. I put down beside it all mine, valued a wholesale rates at fifty thousand dollars, and he emptied his other vest pocket to an equal amount. Our two friends tried to stop us, but we were wild, and would listen to nothing. Frank threw first, and I called 'tails.' It came 'heads.' it made me shiver. . Then I threw heads ' and he called 'taib,' and we were even. I don't know how I felt as he picked up the dollar, and I looked at those glittering gems, for I don't know anything clearly, though I had a vagne idea that somebody would be rained forever on the next throw. Frank tossed iho dollar to the ceiling, and I called 'heads.' it struck the floor and rolled over toward the regis ter. All four of ns m:ule a rush for it, ind Frank fell headlong.' The dollar had dropped through the grating, and was lying on the closed shutters of the register, just below. ," 'Get a match,' I almost shrieked. "I stepped Lack, and my foot strnck Frank. " He did not move. I bent down and shook him. He was still. I tried to cry out, but could not. The j other two men caught hold of him then, i and turned him over. Ilia face was ! blue, and the blood was gushing from his mouth. He had died in an instaut. The three were sober nitm ia a seeoud, md at once alarmed the landlord and '.ent for a physician, but he might as .veil not have come. He told us death bad been instantaneous. I put my dia monds back into my pockets, and took ;are of Frank's; and tho balance of tho jtakes I divided, taking what I had put up and setting his aside, and tho next morning we started home with poor Frank's body." . ' "How about the dollar in the regisi. ter?" asked the listener. "Wbo won?'' "Oh," said the old drummer, with a start, "I almost forgot that part of it. I never thought of that dollar till just bo fore we left, and going, back I fished it iut and put it in my pocket, and this is it. It was 'heads" "No wonder yon don't gamble any more," exclaimed the listener, with a bf relief. "Let's go and take a drink as a forgetter." "And I don't drink any moro, either," said the old drummer quietly. YOU O A: W W iRX T 12 For any tiling you. want and get it as well as if yojicame to tho store.
