The Guests of Hercules

Monte Carlo furnishes a background for this tale whose heroine's first memorable experience outside of the walls of a convent is one of breaking the bank at the casino. Her phenomenal beginner's luck at roulette makes a conspicuous figure of her among the guests at the Hôtel de Paris where she is unattended and unchaperoned. Her experiences, romantic and otherwise, afford the authors material out of which they have constructed a story less tame in point of adventure than their "Golden Silence" but full of vivacity and color.
