Brack Stuart’s Last Chip Ends In Suicide At Dawn
William Brack, a swaggering 30-something gambler known in Gotham social circles, walks to the Windsor Hotel, loses all, parts with his partner’s funds, and returns to his room to end his life. After reading tender notes and burning one, he shoots himself in the early daylight, leaving a final scene of regret and a mother’s ache in a nearby town.

A Gambler Shoots Himself Echoed in a Dream
The excerpt blends tainted gossip and stage gossip in a Western town. A dancer’s fainting fit is blamed on heart trouble by her manager Ed Alec, who knows the truth behind a newspaper dispatch about a gambler who shoots himself. Meanwhile, ads tout bargains from Havana to boots and hats, urging readers to visit stores and try remedies, ending with a surreal plea to wake up and read The Sun.
