This has happenad once he: fore snys the Chicago News. Two years ago our admirabls friend, Billy Knox, having had a vieissitudinous experienco in Loadon, concluded to make a_tour of the continent. Ile was particularly anxious to visit the Riviern, and Monte Carlo was the spot he pined try conclusions with, S0 ho had his sovereigns changed into francs, and off he started with nu- merous letters of introduction to folks along the proposed journey. Billy made friends wherever he went, and at Nice it was all he could do to resist the blan- dishments of le Comtesse de Bourbon, a wealthy widow who wanted to engage him permanently as her retary ana typewriter, The comtesse was a sister of the Comte do Paris; the brother of her late husband was one Louis de Bour bon. a handsome, convivial, careless lad, who bankrupt ie pocket, had become a dealer in the princely gambling house at Monaco. PFinding that Billy Knox was bound to leave her, the comtiesse gave him n letter to her degenerate brother-in-lnw. “He will ive yoa pointers, Billy,” said she in I'rench. So Billy started for Monuco, and when he got there he eallad on Louis de Bour- hon. They became fast friends, Louis came on wateh about 11 o'elock every night. He ulways took off his coat, necktie and collar when he sut down to deal; every twenty minutes a nigger brougl:t him a whisky sour, Louis was considered the crack dealer in all those parts, Whether he gave Billy Knox any pointers or not we do not know, and therefore can not say. Bul one evening Billy had such a run that the bunk had 1o close down, The prince of Monaco himself was dealing: being blind he had to deter- mine thé denomination of the cards simply by the sense of touch. This re- quired severe skill, but having been born blind the prince knew his business, Billy kept betting on the queen, and kopt winning, too. Two (housand 10,000--40,000—100,000 franes! 1t kept let de chambre busy sweeping off the Nupoleons into Billy’s gripsack. Billy icept betting on the queen and he kept on winning. “Wow!" squealed the prince every time Billy touched him for that pile, By and by the prince scratched around in his cash 'box to find that he hadn't sou left. Just then—it being 11 o’clock ~-Louis de Bourbon came on watch. “By your majesty’s leave,” suys he, dofting his blazer, *T will relieve you. ““I have been relieved alveady,” an- swered the prince ruefully. “There is not abean in the drawe re busted turn off the gas and shut up the house for the night.” Of course, there was much confusion and a vast amount of scandal, Billy didn’t wait to participaie in it. He shouldored his gripsack and took the first traun for Italy, It is estimated that his winning reached the equivalent of $40,000. A month later the Paris Migaro explained that Billy had imposed on the blind prince by adroitly ringing a cold deck on him—a pack of ‘cards composed wholly of queens. Ordinarily the im- posure would huve been detected, but of course his blindness prevented the un- fortunate prince of Monaco from seeing through the trick. Now, a8 we huve said, it is impossible to determine from the evidence before us whether Louis de Bourbon was privy to the plot. This much, however, we linow, and it is significant, Billy wrote to Lows de Bourbon abouta yeur ago and got him 1o come over the sea and out to Chicago to serve the World's fair enterprise as an attache of advertising department. You have seen Louis around World’s fuir headquarters; a wll, pale, tingue young man with ny eyes, smooth-shaven face and blae’s hair that falls in a tumble over his white forehead. Louis dresses in a style of his own—al- ways in black, with a wealth of shirt front, a Byronic collar, somber flowing bow and u careless slouch hat.
