His name was Caral. He was small, thin, nerve ous, but full of fire and energy. “l suppose you are not sorry to leave this desert?” he said. I did not try to conceal my joy at the prospect of soon seecing France again and of mecting all my old friends. “And your captain?” “If possible, he happy than 1.

At first Caral lost all the time. Be- fng uged to play he had made the etakes rather high, and out of polite- | ness Caplain Vineent had consented ‘ without objection. As for me, I was elad to see my captain adding to the little amount he had saved up for his marriage, Then luck turned.

With one word Vincznt was to decide his whole future fate. If he guessed correctly he would get back all of his savings, and the events of this evening would be like a bad dream. He would be able to return to France and marry the girl { who had been waliting for him during these many years. his little fortune and two whole years® , ealary. No wedding, no existence—only disgrace and debt. “Even or uneven? Caral reneated. How I hated him this moment. He seemed to be one veritable fiend, the very demon of gambling. At last Vincent whispered: “Even.” I vever will forget what happened next. Caral opened his hand, pretend- ed to count the coins, though I am pos- itive—ahsolutely positive—he did not do so.
