It was evident that he did not intend to speak and that he was about to move away again, but the magnetism of his keen glance seemed to disturb the player, who suddenly looked up over the head of his opponent and met the stern gaze of Rowell. The boy did three things. He placed his cards face downward on the table, put his right hand over the pile of money, and moved his chair back.
I put on this chain to hold him. "I thought that he was joking. I said: "'This chain is useless now, the hand won't run away. "Sir John Rowell answered seriously: "'It always wants to go away. This chain is needed. "I glanced at him quickly, questioning his face, and I asked myself: "'Is he an insane man or a practical joker? "But his face remained inscrutable, calm and friendly.
Pony Rowell was always late in arriving at the gambling rooms. On this occasion he entered, irreproachably dressed, and with the quiet, gentlemanly demeanor habitual with him. The professional gambler was never known to lose his temper. When displeased he became quieter, if possible, than before.
The first deal with the new pack turned in Pony's favor and he seemed to feel that his luck had changed, but the next deal went against him and also the one following. "It's your shuffle," said Rowell, pushing the cards towards his opponent. Bert did not touch the cards, but smiled across at the gambler. "What's the matter with you? Why don't you shuffle?"
One morning, toward the end of November, my servant awoke me and announced that Sir John Rowell had been murdered during the night. "Half an hour later I entered the Englishman's house, together with the police commissioner and the captain of the gendarmes. The servant, bewildered and in despair, was crying before the door. At first I suspected this man, but he was innocent.
There was a very large response and the delegates were welcomed by the Governor General, the Duke of Devonshire, with a tribute to the conduct of women during the war. The President of the Privy Council, N. W. Rowell, outlined the work of the Conference and the confidence felt by the Government in the continued assistance of women.
So the little lady was duly presented, and thinking to open our conversation pleasantly, I remarked that Mr Rowell had told me that she was much interested in religious questions, and that although not a theosophist myself, I numbered several of them amongst my friends. But I found myself quite on the wrong tack.
"If you give me your word of honor that you will quit." "And if I don't, what then?" "Then on Monday I will hand over this money to the bank and advise them to look into your accounts." "And suppose my accounts prove to be all right, what then?" Rowell shrugged his shoulders. "In that remote possibility I will give the thousand dollars to you and play you another game for it." "I see.
But in answer to questions as to the necessity for the change being made in extending the jurisdiction of the Mounted Police and placing detachments all over the country East as well as West, Mr. Rowell gave clear and cogent reasons.
Rowell nodded, more deeply interested than ever. "How do you know it is a stiletto, Dr. Entrefort?" I asked. "The cutting of these stones is the work of Italian lapidaries," he said, "and they were set in Genoa. Notice, too, the guard. It is much broader and shorter than the guard of an edged weapon; in fact, it is nearly round.
