Lost
again
,
"
commented
Lynde
.
"
Well
,
now
we
'll
make
it
eighty
,
"
and
he
threw
down
four
twenties
.
"
Just
for
luck
we
'll
put
something
on
thirty-six
,
and
thirteen
,
and
nine
.
With
an
easy
air
he
laid
one
hundred
dollars
in
gold
on
each
number
.
Aileen
liked
his
manner
.
This
was
like
Frank
.
Lynde
had
the
cool
spirit
of
a
plunger
.
His
father
,
recognizing
his
temperament
,
had
set
over
a
large
fixed
sum
to
he
paid
to
him
annually
.
She
recognized
,
as
in
Cowperwood
,
the
spirit
of
adventure
,
only
working
out
in
another
way
.
Lynde
was
perhaps
destined
to
come
to
some
startlingly
reckless
end
,
but
what
of
it
?
He
was
a
gentleman
.
His
position
in
life
was
secure
.
That
had
always
been
Aileen
's
sad
,
secret
thought
.
Hers
had
not
been
and
might
never
be
now
.
"
Oh
,
I
'm
getting
foozled
already
,
"
she
exclaimed
,
gaily
reverting
to
a
girlhood
habit
of
clapping
her
hands
.
"
How
much
will
I
win
if
I
win
?
"
The
gesture
attracted
attention
even
as
the
ball
fell
.
"
By
George
,
you
have
it
!
"
exclaimed
Lynde
,
who
was
watching
the
croupier
.
"
Eight
hundred
,
two
hundred
,
two
hundred
"
--
he
was
counting
to
himself
--
"
but
we
lose
thirteen
.
Very
good
,
that
makes
us
nearly
one
thousand
ahead
,
counting
out
what
we
put
down
.
Rather
nice
for
a
beginning
,
do
n't
you
think
?
Now
,
if
you
'll
take
my
advice
you
'll
not
play
quatre
premier
any
more
for
a
while
.
Suppose
you
double
a
thirteen
--
you
lost
on
that
--
and
play
Bates
's
formula
.
I
'll
show
you
what
that
is
.
"
Already
,
because
he
was
known
to
be
a
plunger
,
Lynde
was
gathering
a
few
spectators
behind
him
,
and
Aileen
,
fascinated
,
and
not
knowing
these
mysteries
of
chance
,
was
content
to
watch
him
.
At
one
stage
of
the
playing
Lynde
leaned
over
and
,
seeing
her
smile
,
whispered
:
"
What
adorable
hair
and
eyes
you
have
!
You
glow
like
a
great
rose
.
You
have
a
radiance
that
is
wonderful
.
"
"
Oh
,
Mr.
Lynde
!
How
you
talk
!
Does
gambling
always
affect
you
this
way
?
"
"
No
,
you
do
.
Always
,
apparently
!
"
And
he
stared
hard
into
her
upturned
eyes
.
Still
playing
ostensibly
for
Aileen
's
benefit
,
he
now
doubled
the
cash
deposit
on
his
system
,
laying
down
a
thousand
in
gold
.
Aileen
urged
him
to
play
for
himself
and
let
her
watch
.
"
I
'll
just
put
a
little
money
on
these
odd
numbers
here
and
there
,
and
you
play
any
system
you
want
.
How
will
that
do
?
"
"
No
,
not
at
all
,
"
he
replied
,
feelingly
.
"
You
're
my
luck
.
I
play
with
you
.
You
keep
the
gold
for
me
.
I
'll
make
you
a
fine
present
if
I
win
.
The
losses
are
mine
.
"
