There having boon rumours that all was not above board, I visited the resort the other might. Sitting on one side of a long tabla wore two prominent Shanghai business mon, a Teintsin magnato, wealthy Russian from Harbin and his wifo, an American lady,

and two Japanese

anothor Russian. At one and of the table was the dealer and at his right the croupier. The game Was roulette--not the whool, but what is popular amongst Mexicans, card roulette.

I wont with a determination lo watch, just to watch--but before I wont home I had "droppad hundred."Come again the next op. portunity you havo," they invited me. One heavy loser looked very melancholy. The Japanese word $400 down between them; tho Shanghai business mon, having just started, were about ovon; the Harbin Russian was making a couple of hundred, but, on the other band, his wife was about that much to the bad; tho Ameri- can lady was losing five dollars at a time up to the moment I loft, but she was the most cheerful of the whole lot; but the man from Tientsin lost not even once.
