CHAlTKIt IV, Continued.
"We arc on the right side, anyway,"
Shottle cried. "Give mo a gun give
me something."
Some one gave him an old carbine,
nnd another gave Draco n cavalry sa
ber. The man from tho North
grasped It, feeling that he was to
tight the scoundrels that cast discred
it and reproach upon his native state. -
At this tlmo of man's madness na
ture could not restrain tho Introduc
tion of her own grim humor. Dogs
gathered In tho open spneo between
tho bands of advancing rioters, nnd
fought, howling, tho victims of wounds
without cause.
Not many shots were fired. The
authorities mado n criminal of tho
citizen who carried a gun or concealed
It In his house. It was a hand-to-bnnd
strife, tho breaking of heads, tho cut
ting of thronts. A big, red-shlrtcd ne
gro with razor gleaming In tho smoky
Ugbt made a grab at Drucc, who had
Just room enough to leaf) back nud
strike with his saber; but tho agilo
negro dodged, the blow was caught by
a brick wall and the bhulo was broken
off at the handle. Hut with the hilt, n
boxing glovo of steel, Draco knocked
tho negro down and then passed over
his body, striking right and left, push
ing onward to the front, where tho
Jagged ranks saw-toothed ono Into tho
Other.
The stnigglo now wus to suvo tho
hanging man, who, without fall enough
to break his neck, was strung up to
strangle. Draco was the first man to
light IiIh way to him. llo dropped bis
steel boxing glove, grabbed out bis
knife-, leaped up, caught hold of tho
limb of the tree with one hand nnd
cut the man down.
Catching up bin weapon, bo was
about to mix In the fight again when
tho sharp, scream of n woman caught
and held him for 11 moment. llo.
glanced hurriedly about; at various
windows were lights nnd silhouetted
figures of onlookers. Hut us If drawn
by some lodestono Instinct his oyes
went to a second-story , window Just
beyond the trco; and there, In tho
strong light of a lamp Just behind her,
ho saw again the face of tho bnrbarlc
rose maid, Nndlne lu Vltte.
Instantly be whirled and strove to
fight his way to n gate which he saw
in the wall before tho horise. Hut now
came a new cry and a scrnmblo for
snfety. A troop of United States env
ulry cuine sweeping tho thoroughfare
from curb to curb, their drawn sabers
flashing, tho aroused anger of Undo
Sam rebuking a riot. Not to run was
to bo trampled to death, but Draco
stood an tnstnnt to look about for
Shottle. Ho could not find him, how
ever, and ho had to seek his own safe
ty, for the cavalry were near, spread
Ing out upon tho stdowalk.
With divers others, ho stood not
upon the order of his going but run
back down tho street nnd then hurried
down a sldo street out of the path of
the troopers. Thoro die waited until
tho tumult had substdcd-lporhaps an
hour, Then ho mado his way back to
the scene f tho riot.
Tho house at the window of which
ha thought he had glimpsed tho face
of Nadlao la Vltto was now dark. But
In spite of tho curious glances of sun
ttry loiterers, Draco took a careful sur
vey of It and of tho three oak trees
In front oven felt their bark to fa
miliarize himself with then). At tho
corner he sought tho naino of tho
street, on, the lamp, but tho glass had
been broken, leaving only a red
ue i
!
ynd the fragments and 'V BuJno
matter ho would know whore to turn, (
would know the houso whon abreast
of It. I
Now Draco haBtoned toward tho St. (
Chnrles. Tho streets woro qulot. But ;
n wagon rnttlod hy, and he saw that
It wns filled with wounded men. Ho
thought of Shottle and his spirit was
oppressed with sorrow. Shottle's es
cape must have been Impossible, nnd
tomorrow they would take his body,
throw It Into some oozy hole and cover
It with mud.
In the lobby of the St. Charles men
stood In groups, talking of the fall In
the price of cotton. The riot, which
to Urace had meant so much, was not
even known, so nccustomed was th
town to scenos of violence. Drnce
asked the clerk If Shottle had coma In.
No; his key was In the box. Then
Draco thought that surely Liberty
must be dend or wounded, hauled
nwny to suffer. He went forth again,
to the department of police, to tho
cnvnlry barracks, but nothing could
he learn. Thon In his room he sat
sorrowing over his friend and yet
thrilled with a selfish happiness, for
ho had found the barbaric rosemnld.
Ho went to bed, tossed, slept, drenmed
In n mingling of distress and glndncss,
and awoke, Shottle was standing In
the room.
"Thank tho Lord I" cried Drace, nnd
sprang out of bed.
"That's what I say, friend Virgil.
But you will please address me ns
Colonel Shottle. I am n free man.
Here I"
He held forth an envelope; opening
It, Drace took out n hundred-dollar
banknote.
"What does this mean, Lib?"
"I nm Colonel Shottle, sir, nnd not
Lib."
"I beg your pardon, Colonel ; but
whnt does this mean?"
Shottle sat down and crossed his
long legs. He took out a cigar and
lighted It.
"Virgil, I fought ns long us I thought
It wns of advantage. The old carbine
I had wouldn't sh ot, nnd I want to
tell you that mauling darky bends
with a pleco of Iron is hard work. I
looked about for you but couldn't find
you, and knowing that you knew how
to toko enro of yourself, I began to
sniff for a way to got out, found a
hole In u wall, ducked through and
scooted. That wns all natural enough.
Anybody could bnvo done that. But
now comes tho Inspirational part. I
got around Into Itoynl street and mot
a steamboat cnptnln who asked mo to
have u drink, nnd I needed It, for I
had been hard at work.
"So I went In with him. And then
up I hops to n gambling house with
tho money you'd paid mo for Intro
ducing you to Nadlno la Vltte. Tho
poker tables were full, so I nipped In
modestly nt tho faro-bank. That's not
n very swift game, but sometimes It
Is ns sure as buying houses nnd lots, If
you've got the patience. I Invested
cnutlously till about daylight, cashed
In exactly two hundred, and bore I
am as refreshed as a horse grazing on'
clover."
"Colonel, I congratulate you!" said
Draco.
" The two breakfasted together, and
thon Draco set out to find ngnln tho
house ut the scene of the riot the
houso at tho window of which ho hnd
seen the face of Nadlno la Vltte. At
length he found himself In the side
street where ho had taken refuge the I
night before, and turning out of this
ho came to the tree from' the limb of
which he had cut down tho hnlf
strangled victim of the mob. Thero op
posite wns tho house and thero was
tho window at which he "had seen Nn
dlno's face; but across the window,
bonrtls had been nailed1 Tho other
windows, too, nnd the doors, woro
nailed up; tho placo was deserted.
Could that faco at the window havo
been only n crcaturo of his Imagina
tion?
An old negro In nondescript livery
came down tho walk from n houso a
few doors away. He might havo been
footman to a harlequin. But when
Draco spoke to him, the dignified
change In his countenance appeared
to alter oven tho nspect of his nttlro;
and now ho might havo been usher to
n governor. This quick chango had
been brought about by bis Intuitive
discovery that Draco was a man of
consequence.
"Do you know anything about tho
people who lived across tho street?"
Draco asked.
"Wall, no sub; da wus po' folks,
sab."
"Then you don't know where they
wont."
"No sab. My 'ploymont Is tor look
nfter folks oh or higher 'dltlon, Bah.
An den ter preach on Sunday."
"Ob, you aro n prenchor."
"Called, sah, wld or blast from de ,
trumpet." I
"Does your church ever need
money?" In n moment ho lost his
dignity.
"Look yeah, boss, whut's er nigger
church fur cf It ain't tor need monoy?
Co'so It need money. But whnt yon
gwlno do erbout It?
"Yassub," ho snld, when Drnco hnd
warmed him with n greenback, "I
reckon dey dono moved, away. There
was or kind of rumpus Inst night. And
I reckon they-nll thought It wasn't no
placo fob dwn no mo' ; dey let' mighty
sudden-like, uhly dls ra'awnln'."
And that was all Draco could learn 5
no ono In "tho vicinity would admit
that they know them or their destina
tion. Disliking to 'call too much at
tention to himself, Drace walked away
heavy-henrted. For a long tlmo 'ho
wondered, Jhj streets. Ho cajne. to the
iCv0o, nnd the Pronrh nmrkot. He
Wcnt Into tho old St. Louis cemetery,
nnd looked upon the novel sight of
bodies sepulclrerod In n wall . with
doors like n furnace. These compart-
ments, he learned, were rented by tho
month to the poor; and a short tenan
try It wns for many n son and daugh
ter of penury answering Eternity's
call, for when the grim agent failed
to collect the pittance promised by
Sorrow, the shrouded renter was evict
edan old Spanish custom, Drace was
told.
Recalled by those grim surroundings
to the purpose that hnd brought him
to the South, Draco now determined
to give himself wholly to IiIh quest for
Stepho In Vltte. He returned to the
hotel, and found Shottle nervous In a
cloud of smoke. The floor wns cov
ered with burned matches and the
stubs of cigars.
"Lib. I'm crushed," announced Drace.
"So am I. But bow does It happen
thnt the dust-cart drove over you too?"
"Nadlne Is gone. The place Is nailed
up."
"That's tough, all right. Hut what
are you going to do nbout It? Are you
going to come to your puritanic senses
and give the whole thing up, or do you
expect "
"I expect to fulfill my sacred mis
sion. I must find Stepho In Vltte."
Shottle got up und shook hands with
his friend. Ho swore that he would 1
make the search tho nlm of bis life.
"Suppose you hire mo by tho day," he
suggested. "A man does better work '
by the day. Ho always has fresh stim
ulus every tlmo the sun rises."
"Very well ten dollars u day."
"That's liberal, Virgil, nnd I'll take
it And let's get Old Josh to help U8. 1
ne Is more or less acquainted with ,
Stephq's habits."
! CHAPTER V
An hour later Drace and Sho. .lc re-j
turned to their hotel nfter a cere-1
monlous visit with Colonel Josh. Tho 1
Colonel know of Stepho, hnd Indeed ,
met) him once, and ho promised to
ranko discreet Inquiries that should
without fall disclose the Creole's
whereabouts.
Hardly had Drnco reached his room,
however, before, a visitor was shown
in a visitor who Introduced himself '
ns an ngent of the New Orleans po
llco department nnd who had n most 1
distressing communication to make: !
It was known thnt Mr. Draco and
his friend hnd taken part In n recent
riot. Mr. Drnco wafl ono of tho lead
ers, had severely wounded more than
ono man, nnd without cause, being
from the North, Just arrived, nnd hav
ing no possible Interest In tho city.
However, he wns to be treated with
more of lenity than would rhyme with
his crime, for Instead of punishment
ho was only to bo bnnlshed, nlong with
his friend. A steamboat, tho Bum
blebee, bound northward, would leave
next morning. Tho, chief of police
would ffrievo If Mr. Druce and his
friend fulled to register among the
passengers.
With scarcely twelve hours loft In
which to find Stepho 'la Vltto, Drace
paced tho streets In an agony of anx
toty, making a hundred plans to find
Stepho or to outwit the Now Orleans
ofllclals und prolong his stay, but all
In vuln.
Colonel Josh did not appear, but he
seemed to have embarked upon tho
quest, for when tho distracted Drnco
called nt his quarters about midnight
tho old fellow was still absent. Dawn
brought Draco back again, for all his
other endeavors had been unsuccess
ful, and but two hours remained before
the Bumblebee's departure.
Routed out of bed, the Colonel kept
Drace waiting a full half hour before
ho put In an appearance. Then, how
ever, he offered u faint ray of hope.
Ho lmd discovered that a certain
Frenchman, a wine denier, living at
an address ho produced scrawled on
paper, wns reported to be an lntlmnto
of Stepho. Possibly from him Mr.
Draco might
Draco hurriedly explained the de
creo which had banished him ; then he
"presented" tho Colonel with a check
on account, asked him to convey his
rospects to Miss Lucy nnd took his
dopurture.
On his way to tho Frenchman's ho
stopped nt tho hotel, whero ho found
Shottlo strapping up their baggage
and a pollco ofllclal paying an Informal
but suggestlvo call. An hour's grace
remained. Draco paid his score nt tho
desk, sent his bnggngo to tho boat nnd
thon, summoning n cab, drove off with
Shottlo to tho house of tho French
man. It proved to be a mean abode,
both wineshop and dwelling. Draco
knocked engcrly. A small man, his
mustache dyed, came to tho door,
blinking.
"I beg your pardon, sir, but I am a
friend of Mr. la Vltto, and"
"Pardon, monsieur, but you do not
look like him, zo friend."
"But I urn. And I camo with word
that will bo of advantngo to him. The
pollco nro nfter him "
"Aw, he know rat Monsieur would
trouble himself for nothing. Good
morning."
"Just a momont, pleaso. You have
no need to look on rao with suspicion.
I am his friend and "
"If you his friend," Interrupted the
man, "you know ho gone to Europe,
on steamer to Franco."
Draco was about to abandon tho man
In despair whon Shottle, who hnd been
staring nt a case of wlno which stood
by tho door ticketed nnd scaled for
shipment, suddenly Interrupted.
"Ah," he cried, "can this be the
!
aw w wtwwrt, 111. uii icU.
fntnntlM Plmtnim Ynnom?" And limiul. J
- - ------ ......... , . m. ... tioil
lng past the Frenchman, he leaned ov
er us If to examine the bottle. With a
cry, the wine merchant shoved him
rudely uwuy. "Znt Is ze private stock,"
he snarled. "Ho Is not for snle. I am
not yet open for business, sirs. Oood
morning."
Shottle grasped Drnce's arm and
drew him uway. A cart had halted
outside, and ns they entered their cab
they saw the carter shouldering th
case of wine and bearing toward his
vehicle.
As they turned the corner, a decp
throaled blast from the Bumblebee
sounded a warning. Shottle turned
upon the disappointed Drace with 11
gleeful countennnce. "Master," he
said, "111 thnnk you for thnt money
again. I've found him."
"Found him!" exclaimed Drace.
"How?"
"That case of wine was uddressed to
Stepho la Vltte at Farnum's Landing,
Mississippi. That wine Is going to
Stepho on the Bumblebee. And so
are we!"
An hour later Drace sat with Shot
tie on the deck of the Bumblebee,
watching the ever-chnnglng panorama
of the Mississippi and musing upon
tho sudden shifting of his quest.
"Liberty," usked Drace presently,
"how far up Is this Farnum's Lnndlng?
Do you recall it?"
"Yes," said Liberty. "I know this
river. Farnum's Landing Is by gol
ly I" he exclaimed, breaking off, "Far
num's Landing Is the next stop
below Bethpage's Landing! And Gen
eral Bethpage Is my uncle! We'll go
there."
"But," Drace said dubiously, "he's
not my uncle, and I'm afraid It would
bo Intruding soraewhnt on his hospi
tality to"
"Nothing of the sort," averred Lib
erty. "Any friend of mine would be
doubly welcome. You can't know
much about tho General. Taming,
now, but he used to be the most re
markable character, In a quiet way,
nlong the river. And when I tell you
about him, Virgil, you'll laugh. Before
tho war he was professor at Newsome,
a little college up In the scrub-onk
country. Ho entered the army as a
colonel and enme out as a brigadier."
"I don't see anything to laugh ut In
that."
"No, but wait. He had considerable
money, and at times used to come
down to New Orleans to enjoy him-,
self. On one occasion be lost all his
money at roulette."
"Still nothing to laugh at."
"No? All the property he had with
him wns a bodyservnnt, n Guinea ne
gro named Dip. So what does he do?
He says to the proprietor of the gam
bling bouse: 'I wish to play this ne
gro, sir.' 'All right; I'll take off tho
limit und let you piny him. How much
is ho worth?' snys the gambler. 'I
don't wnnt to piny his value In money,
but him, I tell you,' says tho General.
'Say tho word, nnd I'll bet him on one
of these numbers.' Ho had been los
ing every bet, und the proprietor know
that It would bo safe. So he says:
'All right, go ahead.'
