IDEAL BETTING . fg..ii. By WALTER ELLIOTT, '32 Colonel Wilton sat before his desk reading a letter from his old class- mate, Colonel Petman. It referred to Second Lieutenant Ted MacKegg, just ordered to Colonel Wilton's regiment. It read as follows: Young MacKegg is an excellent officer in many ways. He is a good man to drill. He is prompt in formations and is liked by all his brother officers. His only fault, the one that made me ask for his transfer, is gambling. He will bet on anything under the sun. He is always lucky and keeps all the officers broke. If you can brake him of this habit he will be the best officer under your command. You may eventually change his ideas with your own methods. The only trouble will be to get him to bet against sure things, re- iiected the colonelg let me think. His ideas are interrupted by the adjutant who entered his office fol- lowed by a clean cut young man with flaming red hair. He wore the uni- form of second lieutenant. Colonel, this is Mr. MacKegg, just assigned to us, said the adjutant as he handed an order to the colonel. - I am glad to know you, MacKegg, said the colonel as he shook hands. I just received a letter from Colonel Petman, and he speaks very highly about you. That's very kind of him, said MacKegg. I hardly thought he'd do that for me. He was the one who transferred me. He told me that in the letter, said the Colonel. He spoke well of you, but he mentioned one fault that I will not stand for under my command. He said you were a gambler. Colonel Petman is mistaken, Sir, said MacKegg. I never gamble except bridge at quarter-cent pointsg I can't afford to get into big games on my pay. He doesn't say that you play for money, corrected the Colonel. He says that you are a never ending better. Betting is as much gambling as poker. I beg your pardon for disagreeing, sir, said MacKegg, but betting as I do it, is not gambling. It is a form of instruction. Explain yourself, said the colonel. I am a profound student of human nature and I never bet unless I am psychologically certain of winning. The loser does not lose a betg he pays me a fee for a lesson in psychology, sir. FIFTY-SEVEN
