AbstractHistoryArchive Description

A French gambler loses his all on the roulette tables, and falls asleep. He dreams that he takes a golden coin from the shoe of a child asleep in the snow and wins a fortune - but by the time he returns to her she is dead. After this he reforms his life and joins the army in Africa. Effective short tale though predictable. (PB)
