astrous in tho years
Wouldnt it bo consistent for tho dem

fact that prlcos of wiro nails and other
products of iron and stoel have doolinod
radically in prico For a titno this con

for tho wheat mid silvor ratio presented

to look further and perhaps faro worse

tlio room looking around
Over tho electric push button of
course was the usual card directing a
guest to ring onco for Ico water twlco
for hot water etc It Is evident that
tho first business of tho now arrivals
was to study the card
In about llvo minutes the bell on tho
annunciator In the olllco commenced to
ring
giving the hot water call
over and over The number shown
was the number of the room occupied
by tho rural parties
Tho boy rushed Into the washroom
mid drew a pitcher of hot water Still
the bell kept sounding steadily two
rings In quick succession
Git a move on shouted the clerk
to the boy Them parties In Hltinitccn
must be considerably fussed up on tho
hot water question They must havo
cold feet
Tho boy was already hnlf way up
stairs running like n deer Tho bell
still kept ringing
Tlio clerk crazed by the noise of tho
bell stood up lu 11 chair saying things
In rapid succession and held his hand
on tho gong dulling Its sound
Tho boy tore Info tho room with his
pitcher of hot water slopping Tho
new arrivals man nnd wife were
standing before tho electric button
Their eyes were on tho card The man
held a bowl carefully under the button
with his head turned away so that the
hot water wouldnt squirt In his eyes
nnd the woman was pressing tho but
ton with regular stroke They were
doing their best to get hot water strict
ly according to directions
Ucro stop that yelled tho boy to
tho woman Heres your hot water
Tho man with tho bowl lowered that
article and looked at tho boy

And when tho bellboy came out of
his swoon he told the clerk nnd the
clerk went gravely up stairs with a
tiny card on which he had written
Not Working
Ho carried a spike and a hammer
and after gaining admission to room
slumteen he nailed up tho card with

The guest surveyed his work with In

ice ns It concerns tho most audacious
game of chance ho evor witnessed
When 1 was In Bolivia somo years
ago hu always beglus I got In with
a crowd of men English nnd natives
whose pnsslon for gambling know no
bounds Strange ns It may seem uono
of them knew poker and I made my
self solid with them by tenchlng them
but their great game was roulette
There was a little shop lu Bogota
where they had a miniature Monte
Carlo and many nights did we spend
around tho great wheel with our mon
ey nml prospects hanging on tho black
or red Tho wheel wis entirely made
of wood aud when It wns spun around
a cover wns put over tho machine so
that they could keep on betting when
It had censed to turn
Thero Is a worm down there In
that cllmnte that gets into furniture
nnd bores until nothing but a shell Is
left You may sit on a chair that
looks perfectly strong but nt the first
touch It collapses This seems Irrele
vant but It Is not ns you mny see
later In fact that worm plays the
title role In tho tragedy I am going to
tell
There wns a wealthy Bolivian plant
er who had been a general lu tho wnr
between Bolivia and Chile back In the
early eighties He was never absent
a night from our games but he would
frequently stand nbout for n week and
never ninke a bet larger than 10
Then he would suddenly cry out just
as tho operator was about to lift the
cover and register the highest bet the
house would permit Next he would
place nil the money he could find tak
ers for among the gentlemen present
Before the season wns far advanced
ho had won great sums nnd wo had
all felt the results of his freakish luck
It seemed that when bo played 7
black he could not lose and he seemed
to realize It for when ho did call that
number he would put all ho owned In
the bnlancc
Still he was a gentleman and a fa
mous duelist nnd no ono cared to
question his methods It went on this
way for two mouths Then ono night
the wheel stopped nnd there was the
silence of the prairies In tho room
We could bear the ball fall Into tho
compartment distinctly We could
hear the distant tinkling of a mandolin
The planter leaped up as from a cata
lepsy Seven black senoros I will
take all any of you or nil of you will
bet Well fhad been winning strong
and was so much to tho good that 1
was reckless
Five dollars I said
Good seuor ho replied
Ho placed bis entire fortune In dif
ferent wagers There were a number
0 strangers present and they all
seemed big flush Then slowly ns a
priest ofllciutlng nt some solemn bar
baric ceremony the banker removed
the top Wo all stood for a moment
and the tension was such that a car
riage wheel on the cobblestones out
side made us all start Red came
tho announcement
The Bollvinn wns white as snow
but his voice wns unshaken as he said
Gentlemen you shall all be paid As
for me I nm ruined
That night ho shot himself nnd his
will which had been written Just be
fore his death arranged for the pay
ment of nil his debts I was to re
ceive tho service for my share though
It Is worth much more But what I
valued much more thnn that was a
note In which he expressed his attach
ment for mo nnd asked me to accept
tho silver as a gift and not a debt
He left also a curious manuscript
written some time before which seem
i tn lit a sort of private JournaL Ho
stated in this thnt his ears were so
nccurate that ho could detect tho dif
ference between tho fall of a pin and a
needle Ono night so ho says ho heard
tho bull fall Into tho compartment with
a hollow thud and when the machine
was opened he made note of tho num
ber nnd color 7 black Later when
nlone for n moment he found that tho
aforesaid worm had bored under that
compartment He sounded the excava
tlou with a straw and found that it
extended no farther than that one
number Then all lie had to do wns
to listen nnd when his ncuto hearing
told him that his number had come to
get all the money possible on It
Yes gentlemen he hnd all his plaus
laid to perfection There was only one
