Within two weeks the dare-devil gambler had won $40,000 from the fol lowers of the race track. The money fairly poured Into his "book."

But the morrow proved different, for In less than three days Elsfelder found himself In a strange city with but sev eral silver dollars out of the comfort able fortune he at one time had In his grasp. Back to Portland. "The Black Demon" was not discour aged. He bought a ticket to Portland and shortly after his arrival. here was again playing faro at the Portland Club. He borrowed $20 from a friend and In less than an hour had $800 in checks before him. He was still the reckless player as before. His California expe rience had not affected his nerve In the least. When he arose from the faro table he was $900 ahead, but he could not quit. With the money In' his pocket, ge got as far as the door, but he could not go out. He had the fever. "I might Just as well make It a thou sand." he said, as he bought several stacks. Broke Again, In less than an hour the young plunger was broke. He did not have one cent left - Since that time Elsfelder has made several big winnings. Several times he has had as high as seven or eight hun dred dollars in checks before him. but ho wants to win more, and he always Goes broke before he quits.
