Text Appearing Before Image:
ntly after him that the rings split in two. This crack, which serves to commemorate the priests victory over the tricks of the devil,is still exhibited to the gaping travellers who visit the cathedral. Thus much for the Legend. But although the devil was thus disappointed at 76 THE RHINE BOOK. the Cathedral, he has since been revenged most amply upon Aix; for he cameafterwards in the disguise of a rich German baron, and established gaming-tables inthe town. From that day he has secured an ample supply of victims ; for Aix-la-Chapelle is the only place in the Prussian dominions where gambling is per-mitted ; and hence all those infatuated by the Daemon of Chance fly to its watersfor health, and to its tables for destruction. Could the history of the Comphaus-bad-Strasse be told, it would make a frightful tale of blighted hopes, lost fortunes,and early despair — of sin, disgrace, and suicide — the seldom-failing fate of theGambler. AIX-LA-CHAPELLE. 77 INTERCHAPTER FOR THE TRAVELLER.
