(WNU Service) LADY tourists with Baedekers and misanthropic men with sufficient income to retire and live cheaply in pensions along the respondent coast of the Riviera, %re given to sentimentally referring to the gambling casino at Monte Carlo as •••Heartbreak House." Well, there can be no doubt that Mjt of this storied mansion of chance armies of men and women have stumbled to tragedy of one sort or another. The case of Gentleman Dawes was ppe that stood out, even on the crowd- Oij ledgers of the debit stories that . checker up the past of the brilliant little principality, which Is set like a painted drop-curtain against the Inxsredible foreground • of the Mediterranean. ^bentleman BawfcS came to Ijonte % Carlo at the age of forty-five, from a town In Colorado where he had itfcassed a- fortune of five hundred thousand dollars in a staple mercantile business. HI? visit to Monte Carlo tips more or less accidental, nothing more than part of a tour along the French Riviera, during his first trip abroad, after his retirement from the business to which he had devoted thirty- five years of his life. It was literally his first vacation, the rather typical case of a self-made American trying to learn how to play. Jn Dawes' case this was difficult Sjfeirt.v-five years that included his early boyhood of toeing the mark to (routine, business responsibility, heavy | decisions and the growing burdens of access, had produced a prematurely^ white, socially timid, and wholly un-i playful individual. Shy to a degree that made him appear suave, delicate at) a woman ^fn manner, exhibiting none of those aggressive qualities which had made him a success in business, the middle-aged, well-dressed, easy-spending American, who drifted Into Monte* Carlo, was Just one more unremarkable member of his pleasant tribe. One week, later, however, Gentleman Dawes, as he* was dubbed overnight, was not only the talk of the gossipy Riviera, but the American press, with especial emphasis in his home city, carried the ever-tragic and dramatic Slbry of a man who has gambled avray a ln/ge fortune to the banks of Monte "Oirlo. . In exactly eight days, Dawes 'had ' lest to the green baize tables the sum . qf four hundred and eighty-five thousand dollars. It was one of those spectacular debacles which happen every ao often in the little unreal principality along the sea. : When he walked Into the brllli'ant gaming solons his Jirst night at Monte Carlo, something Inside Hermann Dawes which had never before been stirred, caught fire. For the first time In a bacholor life 'of hard woTk, lonely the band concert, returned to hia pen ' si on room for refurbishment dined in a narrow little cafe along the wharf and reported at .eight for night duty as elevator man In one of the large hotel* Grim, tragic, a little horrible, was this life of a man who, in eight brief days, had undone his life-time of carefully achieved success. Then, In a life that seemed marked for swift rises and falls of destiny, a woman named Angle Falls, a second cousin of his mother's, whom he hart met but once, died in Keokuk, Iowa, and left him, as her nearest relative, a fortune of two hundred thousand dollars. Poor Dawes. It could not be said of him that he took the news unblink ingly. He stuttered, he paled, he broke into thin, womanish tears and manifested a very close equivalent to hysterics. Amazing with what rapidity a galaxy of friends sprang up about the obscure old man! His de parture from M^nte Carlo for America was the occasion of quite a local celebration. The press of Europe and America took occasion to revive the case. Gentleman Dawes had once more come into his own,. It was just about sixteen months later that a resuscitated Gentleman Dawes, rejuvenated, filled with a new poise and as appealing as ever in the shy, hesitant manner that had always characterized him, returned to the scene of what had been bis degrada tion. Not, however, to Monte Carlo. He was too well known there and to be conspicuous was' anathema to Dawes. It was almost as if his flesh literally crept up his bones and'his being shuddered. In a pointed goatee, his hair dyed to a sluggish black, he returned to Deauville and the Riviera as James E. Squire, there to recoup and in a way to revenge. The following week, there was a thin patter of talk along the blue coast A man named Squire, from the states, had lost, within eight days, playing the tables between Deauville, Nice, and- Cannes a neat fortune amounting to no less than two hundred thousand dollars. No Tame Rooster Match for Ringneck Pheasant The strongest fighting cock would probably finish a poor second In a bout \mh a ringneck pheasant Equiifped with longer spurs ' than its barnyard relatives, and of a more truculent disposition, the pheasant can worst anything in its class.. The farmer's Plymouth Rock or Rhode Island rooster, a lumbering adversary at best finds itself . soundly trounced after a few passes. , When food Is scarce la the winter, cock pheasants invade the barnyard for corn thrown to the chickens. Woe to the rooster which endeavors to uphold its prowess against the visitor from the wilds. Roosters have been killed in such unequal combats. Pheasants, some wild life observers say, have been known to mix it with grouse and prairie chickens with sad results to the latter. They have sometimes been accused of Cannibalism. Whatever their faults in their social relations, they cannot be accused of cowardice. . •"' leisure, insular pastimes, he tasted the winey pleasures of chemin-de-fer, baccarat, roulette; sniffed the exciting dust of chance, experienced the untenable thrill that catches a man at . the pit of the stomach, as he places gold in the lap of fate. Within two hours after his arrival, Dawes, who tjiad never gambled in his life, discovered that he was a gambler; Dawes. Whose business success was due to his r Conservatism, and who had never even tiirned a playing card, found htm self en the way to becoming a tragedy of Uonte Carlo, After that, his case went the way , Of many before him. Broken, broke, 4azed by devastation, lacking the lm- "Zjjulse and the courage to return home, the next fourteen years of his life were to be spent within the white Shadow of the house of his doom. Monte Carlo has a way of making a bow to these derelicts of hers. She does hat cast them off as ruthlessly as the storied legends go. For those fourteen years of his life, every month, out of the coffers of ' the gambling house, there came to the bowed little gentleman living in a .back-street pension of the town of his undolqg, an .Allotment of five hundred francs. Scarcely enough to keep his body and soul together, but an assurance, at least, of his board and keep. Twenty dollars a month, for a man whose fingers had once closed over the reassuring fortune of five hundred thousand dollars. To abet that, he obtained a position as night elevator-operator in one of the large hotels. Automatically then, since no employee in the city *">f Monte Carlo may play Btakes at the gaming tables, tlih? disqualified him for the gaming tables, but, strangely 1 Enough, It was as If, after his life lay thus in ruin about him, desire had fled. For fourteen years, Gentieman Dawes lived his life there, occasional iv pointed out as a relic of tragedy. His days passed as simply and un eventfully as if he had not thumbed his nose to fortune, and seen the results of his lifetime come crashing about him like hailstones. Every : morning, hatted, spatted, nicely creased in gray, quiet as a moth, gen tie, still horribly shy, he walked from his narrow little pension In an ob scure, even mean street to a small adjoining square, where for two francs . he took hi^ coffee and petit-pain, which constitutedXjoint breakfast and lunch. During the afternoon Dawes, the once •i-r- Important citizeif>fvthe thriving Colorado town, loitered about the beaches, dawdled an hour in the park during During the nesting season in spring, the male pheasant is often Indifferent to the presence of man. It struts boldly about the fields, unconcerned over its visibility. Sometimes it barely deigns to get out of the road when menaced by automobiles. Frequently the Indifference to hazards It recognizes during the shooting season is laid to stupidity. The pheasant's superiority in combat with domestic fowl is partly attributal to its better physical condition. It makes constant, use ef its wings and legs, and is much harder by nature. Though sometimes outweighed, its faster speed and excellent equipment more than offsets the disadvantage.--Detroit News. -- Ol •"WIieatsef Interest Taken the Files of the Plaindealer «T Tears ai* RDYGWOOD Mill, .
