STABBED BY Till? GIRL 11E RISKED IN A WAGER. l'aris, February 15. Gustavo Sarin, an art designer, who has gambled away every penny he had, decided to stake Irs sweetheart on the last three of the dice—his opponent wagering £SO against her. The designer lo>i, and he went wretchedly towards his sweetheart's home, wondering how bo-t to inform her of her compulsory change of lovers. When he arrived his sweetheart—a very pretty girl named Louise Mortage—noticed his woebegone appearance, and inquired what was wrong. Kara blurted out the truth, and Louise, aroused by fury, seized a knife and plunged it into his breast. The young man is now lying seriously wounded in the Lariboisiere Hospital. His sweetheart is in prison, and the gambler's stake will never be paid.
