ROSEBURG. OREGON
Three French gentlemen were sit
; ting over their, ob ninth at a fusbloo
j able Parisian club oenr the Place de la
I Concorde.
"1 say, Du Bois," an id one, "I wish
you would desist from courting la
belle Americalne. 1 have Intentions
there myself."
"And you, Chauveteau," said another
to the speaker, "I would be obliged If
you would also desist from your atten
tions in that quarter. La belle
Americalne belongs to me."
'I like the assurance of you gentle
men." Bald M. du Bo la. . "I see no rea
son why 1 should give up a conquest
already made by myself to either of
yon. Chauveteau, you have no chance
whatever, and you, Farriere. 1 am sure
can never win."
"And I like your conceit. Do Bois,"
sold Farriere. "It Is you who am
aspiring far above you.
"Come fellows," said Chauvetenu.
"we are all excellent friends, and there
Is no nued for us to qiinrrel over the
lady, for the simple reason that none
of us can win her. To do the court
ing of an heiress would require at
least 30.000 francs. There are opera
and theater tickets to buy, carriages,
flowers, presents Indeed, a hundred
ways of spending money and I doubt
If all, of us combined could raise half
the amount"
"My faith!" exclaimed Du Bois
"There's an Idea for you. Suppose wp
all chip In and act up one of us to do
the Job, who shall be liberal with the
other two after securing la belle
Amerlcalne's fortune."
"Good!' cried Chauveteau. "The
very thing! You two men let me have
10,000 francs each, and I will not only
reimburse you, but give each of you
my note for 100.000 francs, payable
within sixty days after my wedding
with la belle Americalne."
The two men thus addressed laughed
outright Then Farriere. emptying bis
glass and calling for another, said:
"To propose a practical plan. I sug
gest that we each chip In a third' of
the necessary funds mid decide by lot
who shall make the attempt"
"I offer an amendment to that," said
Chauveteau, "that Instead of deciding
by lot who shall do the wooing we de
clde it by a game of cards "
"What gnme?" asked Du Bois.
"Well, since the lady is A morion n.
suppose we make It the American gnme
of 'freeze-out' poker. We will each
take 10.000 francs and play till one of
us has won the shares of the other two
the winner to use the fund to do the
wooing, giving his obligation to the
other two."
"That's definite and practical," snld
Du Bois. "Let us begin. We need uot
put up the cash; we can each take
10.000 francs In chips, the losers to re
deem them later." j i
"Agreed I" wild the other two.
Cards and chips were called for. and
the game began. It was a long one. for
each player, being desirous to act the
lover, bet cautiously. While the game
was in progress they chaffed one un
othor, occasionally giving away to any
ono who might be listening the object
of the game. A gentlemnn took a sent
at a tnblo at the other end of the room
and the three players looked at one an
other ns much as to say. "Be careful." I
but when the gentleman gavu an order I
In English they assumed that he did j
not speak French, and before long j
something of their caution disappeared !
Chauvetenu was the llrst to he frozen j
out. and Farriere was relieved of nil j
his chips by Du Bois. The man who j
spoke English snt rending a newspaper I
till the game was ended, when, culling '
a waiter, he sent his enrd to the wlu :
tier. Du Bois rend the name on It nnd
looked nt hts friends appalled. The two
looked much concerned. They sup
posed the sending of the card to be a
challenge, but were not certain. It
was agreed that Chauveteau should In
tor view tho sender and learn what it
meant Approaching the person in
question, he bowed low and asked in
what way his friend M. du Bois could
be of service to him.
"As tho gentleman who Is to win the
hand of In belle Americalne," wns the
reply in tolerable French, "he can be of
service to me either with the full or
the pistol, whichever he prefers."
"Monsieur has overheard V
"I have."
"May 1 ns monsieur's relationship
to the lady?"
"A suitor for her hand. The matter
seems now to bo between me nnd your
friend the winner. 1 prefer to tight (or
a Indy rather than to gamble for her."
"I see. 1 will bear your message to
M. du Bois."
After a consultation between the
three Frenchmen, who knew well that
a duel under the circumstances would
be the social ruin of every one of them.
Chauveteau wns sent back to Inquire
whether If they would nil Join In an
apology the matter would be kept se
cret. The reply was favorable. Thf
stranger dictated au apology, which was
duly signed, and the matter was ended
I .a belle Americalne married a fellow
countryman soon after this Incident,
hut did uot know till the dny after
her marriage thst her husband had
proposed to light one who had won nt
cards the wherewithal to win her, or.
rather, her fortune.
As fur the three Frenchmen, from
all of whom s!u nnd received some
attention, she cut them nil as she hnp
pened to meet them. Had they been
mere adventurers this would not bar
distressed them.- Since they were wt
known In society It troubled them very
much.
