Gentleman Dawes, as be was dubbed overnight, was not only the talk of the the gossipy lllrlera, but the American press, with especial emphasis In hla home city, carried the and dramatic story of a man who had gambled away a large fortune to the banks of Monte Carlo. In exactly eight days, Dawes had lost to the green baize tables the sum of four hundred and eighty-fivthousand dollars. It was one of those spectacular debacles which happen every so often In the little unreal principality along the sea. When he walked Into the brilliant gaming salons bis first night at Monte Carlo, something Inside nermann Dawes which had never before been stirred, caught fire. For the first time In a bachelor life of hard work, lonely leisure. Insular pastimes, he tasted the wlney , bacpleasures of carat, roulette; sniffed the exciting dust of chance, experienced the untenable thrill that catches a man at the pit of the stomach, ns he places Within gold In the lap of fate. two hours after his arrival, Dawes, who had never gambled In his life, discovered that he was a gambler; Dawes, whose business success was due to his conservatism, and who had never even turned a playing card, found himself on the way to becoming a tragedy of Monte Carlo. After that, his case went the way of many before him. Broken, broke, dazed by devastation, lacking the Impulse 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 not cast them off as ruth lessly 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 People of Moravia the bowed little gentleman living In Frills, laces, and embroidery are town of t the a pension much In evidence In the trousseau of his undoing, an allotment of five of the Moravian bride.
