Gillian pretends that he has lost the thousand dollars at the races to avoid facing the consequences of his gambling habit and to shield himself from the disappointment of his family. By fabricating the story of a loss, he attempts to maintain his pride and protect his reputation, while also deflecting blame from himself. This deception illustrates his struggle with honesty and the pressures of societal expectations. Ultimately, it highlights the lengths to which he will go to escape the reality of his actions.

What is the conflict of one thousand dollars by O Henry?
One of the themes is based off of this question: How can people give value to their life? People can give value to their life by not being greedy. This is demonstrated when Mr. Gillian gives his $1,000 dollars to Mrs. Hayden. This can be concluded by this paragraph in the text, "I've just come from old Tolman's," he explained. They've been going over the papers down there. They found a - Gillian searched his memory for a legal term - they found an amendment or a post- script or something to the will. It seemed that the old boy loosened up a little on second thought and willed you a thousand dollars. I was driving up this way and Tolman asked me to bring you the money. Here it is. You'd better count it to see if it's right." Robert Gillian shows to be even less selfish when he lies about gambling the money away so Mrs. Hayden will receive another $50,000 dollars. This can be concluded based on this statement by Robert Gillian, "It's all right," he said, smilingly. "There isn't a bit of need to bother you with this. I don't suppose you'd understand these itemized bets, anyway. I lost the thousand dollars on the races. Good-day to you, gentlemen." People can also give value to their lives by making change for what that person finds to be the better. The reader can conclude Robert Gillian isn't the best money manager. "But if - as our client, the late Mr. Gillian, explicitly provides - you have used this money as you have money in the past, I quote the late Mr. Gillian - in reprehensible dissipation among disreputable associates - the $50,000 is to be paid to Miriam Hayden, ward of the late Mr. Gillian, without delay." This shows how Robert Gillian is known to be unwise with money. Also at the end of the story the Lawyers believed him when he said "I lost the thousand dollars on the races." However the main quote that answers the question, of how one can give value to their life is the quote, "Tolman & Sharp shook their heads mournfully at each other when Gillian left, for they heard him whistling gayly in the hallway as he waited for the elevator." This shows how Mr. Gillian was proud of his decision to stop using money selfishly, and start being wiser.
