It is now after midnight, but though the other 39 tables are crowded with gamblers No. 4, re- mains deserted. A sinister isolation marks its dingy surface.

At last there is a slight stir. A sportsman famous on the British turf goes to a little partition in the corner of the high-ceilinged Louis Quinze gambling room. "A moment later he emerges with his
