CHAPTER IV.
THE THRAVELS OF- LARHY CAREY,
GINTLEMAN.
"The poor hay then f" ea(d Larry
Carey, contemptuously, ns he Btood
In the Chinese quarter of the" city of
San Francisco, and watched the vari
ous avocations of the people. "What
a blessin' it would be for thim If some
howly father out ov the" ould coun
thry would come an' take thim In
hand, wld a pair' ov scissors to snip
off their tails, an' thin thrausport
thim to where they might have a
cabin an' a bit ov bog land, an' a pig,
an' a few prutles ! Ah, they're a poor
benighted lot.'thln)! Only to think
ov thim bein' so low In the scale ov
humanity, as Father Murphy called
it, that themen are only washer-women!"
Larrylooked wlthutter disgust on
one or two of the quiet, peaceable
people, for the most part busy and in
dustrious, and seemingly prosperous
withal.'as he sought for' one Si Lin,
who had charge of the garments sent
fromtheJCbesapeake Hotel.
There was a certain amount, too, of
luterest.taken by the AsiaticsMn Lar
ry, as he strolled slowly down the
narrow street, with bis stick under
his arm, his legs very fat forward,
and his body held back, and a gener
al depreciatory aspect In the whole of
his visage, ondjhe rubbedJhiB ill-shaven
chin with one haud.
"Howly Bridget!" he said, stop
ping short In front of an open-sided
Wooden house, where a very Bmooth
ly shaVeh'Cblnamaa was sitting in
with
rearthepot'bTfora'Dfufuil'ov boileS
sadly, and said, SI Lin, SI Lin," at
the same time holding out his hand.
"Ye'rea glntleman!" said Larry,
bringing his own down with a clap,
and shaking it heartily, to the Chi
naman's great discomposure. "I'm
obleeged to ye, Misther Haythen ;
an' I'll not forglt ye If I want a new
Bhute while I'm stayln' in the town."
But the Chinaman did not seem to
see it in that light. For him time
present was better than time future;
so as soon as his hand tta3 at liberty
he held it out'once more, and placed
in it a two-oent piece.
"Phew!" whistled Larry, laughing.
"How soon they git to undherstand
the religion of money. Well, ye
hay then, ye were -civil ; so therefsTa'
bit fc,-ye.iv
J, Thetailor noddednd. smiled once
more, as sadly, to ne Larry's expres
sion, "as If he had not had any din
ner for a week," and returned to his
work, while Larryrattled his stick
upon tho laundry-man's door.
Here, without muoh dlffioulty, he
learned thathe had had his journey
for nothing, the great Si Lin having
taken the'washing home to the hotel.
"Bud I don't mind," said Larry, as
he 6atlhteted away dnco more. "It's
all improvin' to the undherstandin' ;
an' whin a glntleman Is on his trav
els he ought to see all he can. I won't
hurry back, thin, bud jlsttako a look
about rae. How the dlvils stare!
They don't see any one from Cork iv
ery day of their benighted lives."
So Larry sauntered along, pausing
for some time in front of the joss
house, rubbing his chin thoughtfully
and thinking of going in ; but his at
tention was taken off by the comltig
of one of the Inhabitants, evidently
something of a dandy In hla way,
from the oareful cut and quality of
his blue clothes ,' but what took Lar
ry's attention was the fan he held In
his haud, flirtlngMt busily'to oool his
noble brow.
"Now Is It a marl ye ard, or a wo
man ?" said Larry, aloud, as" he gaz
ed at the dandy, who, without con
descending to give more than a pass
ing lock, went on. "Only to think
ov It," he continued "Well, it's a
very melancholy sight to see men
dressed in petticoats, an' usin' fans,
an' doin' the washin'; bud there!
what oan ye expect ov the poor be
nighted things? Halloo! what have
we got here ?"

way, iustld ov atiu' it Christian-like
wid a spoon !" Bice, too, poor thing!
I wonder whatjhe'd eay to a pratio?"
Larry stoodjlooking, aud the Chi
naman went on eating in perfect com
posure, after giving one'glance at the
barbarian outside. Finally Larry
gave his head a"contemptuous; toss,
and went on for a few yards.
"Well," he. eald, slopping once
more this time In front of a tailor's
shop "I don't know that I've much
to say to that. There must be man
tailors, I suppose. I wondher wheth
er the haythen jist there wid the
needle can tell me where the man
washer-woman will be livin'. Ar
rab ! now "
The Chinaman let his hands fall in
his lap andlookedover a great pair
of goggle,;wide-rimmed spectacles in
Larry's face.
"If ye plate," said" Larry "ugh!
I'll be civil to the baste, an' show

The Chinaman held hfs head a lit
tle on one side, and peered inquiring
ly In bis questioner's face.
"I said could 3'e have the goodness
to tell me where the washer-woman-man
lives?" said Larrj' ;r'and this
time he placed one hand by the side
of his mouth and shouted in the oth
er's ear.
The Chinaman peered in his face
for a moment, re-arrauged '.his specs,
and went on with his stitching.
"Poor spacheless baste!" said Lar
ry. "Bud I'll thry him again. "Look
here! Hi! Bedad.thin, why don't ye

As he spoke Larry put down his
stick, pretended'lo roll up his sleeves,
and then seizing the garment upon
which the Chinaman was at work, he
made believe to soap it, and then went
to work rubbing it-as if it was a part
of nhatch'in a tub.
"D'ye see, ye haythen?' he said";
"Si Liu, SI Lin."
"S! Lin, Si Lin?" replied the Chi
naman, with a melancholy smile of
intelligence stealing across hia broad
fat face.
"Thin ye have got a tongue In your
head ?" said Larry. "D'ye- undher
stand me, thin?"
The Chinaman repeated the words
"Si Lin," and, in his turn, gave the
garment a rub, and then a smootn
over with his iron.
"Bedad," said Larry, complacent
ly, "what a boy I am among thim !
Here I come among the benighted
baythens, who don't know a word ov
a Christian tongue, an' here I make
thim undherstand me." For the
Chinaman got up slowly, and came
out of his place, tapped Larry on the
shoulder, and led the way to a turn
ing some thirty yards away, where he
pointed to a house, nodded,, smiled

won't believe It at all no, even wid
me own eyes. An' yet there it is
there's no mistake. Murther ! think
ov that now! Bud they can't mane
to ate it at all!"
Larry went closer to the open win
dow, and glared In for a few mo
ments ; then he walked sharply away,
spitting several times, as if to rid
himself of a nasty taste in the mouth,
while he muttered! again 'and again,
"Oh, the nasty haythens! to think
utable part, standing for a few mo
ments undecided before- choosing a
way.
Growing tired, he went slowly on,
telling himself that he Bhould sooner
or later come to some landmark' that
he knew, and conning over in his
mind the various scenes he had en
countered.
"Bud It's a baste ov a place," he
grumbled, "widout a single redaym
In' fayture, an' I don't wondher at
it. Bud, howly Bridget, what's
that?''
For, turning a corner, he suddenly
came upon a scene of exoitement in
the shape of a desperate encounter,
and In an instant the Irishman's

CHAPTER V.
HOW LARRY CLEARED THE WAY.
With a wild Irish whoop of delight
and a flourish of hla, stick, Larry
charged down upon the contending
men.
Crack !
There ww a howling curse" as the
bleokthorn came down upon an up
lifted bowio-knife-armed hand, numb
ing the wrist, and sending the blade
flying just as it was about to descend
upon an unguarded breast.
Crack !
A head gave forth a sonorous hol
low Bound, and its owner rolled upon
the sidewalk.
Crack !
Another man received the twig
right across the forehead, and fell ov
er his comrade.
Thud !
The stick fell upon a ruffian's
shoulder, making him utter a yell,
and then with another hurroo and a
flourish, Larry dashed at the others,
catching one a slight tap On the head,
but falling to stay him, for he aud hia
companions were in full flight.
"That's mighty pleasant, anyhow,"
said Lariy, with a? profound sigh of
satisfaction overspreading his coun
tenance. "What a thra'o !"
He gave his stick another flourish,
and looked round for an adversary,
but the grathering g'crowd shrank
badk'ftndHo'wilKliitn to pitss to
where 'Frank
Caleb Dawson to .
ov their atin' a dog !"
Larry's next halt was in front of a
barber's shop, Where the owner was
busy operating upon the head of a
customer, and here he paused1, rub
bing his chin softly the while.
"I've a good mind to," he said at
last; and he stopped, hesitating, till
the barber hadjnniabed hia task, and
looked up at him with a bland smile
of invitation.
"I'll risk it," said Larry, going In ;
"bad luck to the haythen if he gits
thryln' any of hia enchantments on
me vid his rayshera. I'll have me
stickVhandy to talk to him In a kay
he never heard."
Lar,cy took the seat placed. for him,
and tared his throat, muttering to
himself the while, ashis, eyes rolled
round the shop and took in the prep
arations of its owner.
"Sure, it's a great risk to run," he
said, 'thrustin' yerself wid such a
barbarian. How do I know they
ain't canniba'ls, an' glad ov a chance
to get howld ov a sthrange thraveler?
Here, look here, Misther Shaver!"
he Bald aloud, as he put his stick be
tween his knees, V'ye see tbat?"
The Chinaman podded in a mildly

He shrank back as he spoke, for the
barber wa9 armed with a strone pair
of tweezers, with which he made mo

"Git out, ye mad haytcenf!" said
Larry, getting up. "Why, ye'll be
wantin' to shave me head- nixt, an'
send me away wid a plaited tail !"
"It's gittin' time I was back," said
Larry at last, as he wandered once
more through the narrow streets ;
"so I'll go back another way. it's

"Only a scratch or two, Larry,"
said Frank.
"Bad luck to thim! I'd have hit

"More frightened than hurt, I
hope, Pat," said Dawson, feeling him
self all over, after wrapping his hand

"Freckened!" said Larry; "ye
didn't look much freckened. alther

""You only came just in time, any
how," said Dawson, coolly.
"Say, strangers," said a voice, "If I
were you I'd make tracks. Take the
next turning and go straight away, or
you'll have them chaps back."
The advice was too good to be light
ly treated ; but there was some one
else to think of besides themselves,
and Dawson looked anxiously round,
trying to identify the doorway into
which he had swung Mary Adams
and hfir Rtster. but failins : for in the
fight he had gradually edged away to
some distance from tho place where
the assaulOvas firaf made.
"Well, hadn't we better make a re
treat while we can?" said Adams,
he had already walked to the door,
accompanied by Larry, and after a
brief parley It was opened.
No ; It had not been opened fOT
hours. It was a mistake.
But Adams, who wa3 half mad
with anxiety, insisted upon the place
being searched, calling In the aid of
the police; and a very few minutes
sufficed to show that the place was
empty.
"Try this house," said Dawson, as
Boon as they "i were outside; and he
pointed to another, vainly struggling
the while with the confusion of mind
consequent upon the struggle in
whloh he had been engaged.
The house he pointed out was also
searched, and another and "another,

"It's no use, rstrangera," he said.
"We shall have a regular riot in an

with our lives. These women are
hiding, and will keep in hiding till
the row is over. They can't comd to
no harm ; and, look here, I must have
my way now. So give In."
Adams made deaperate opposition,
and would have engaged even in a
struggle with the police, but for the
words of Dawsod, who whispered
earnestly In his ear:
"Give in now, or they'll drag ua off.
It will only be waste of power. I am
as anxious as yourself,- but the ser
geant is right. Let the place cool
down again before we come back.
Perhaps I can think it out, too, by
then, for my head 13 all muddled
with the blow."
He put hla hand'to tho back of his
head aa he spoke, and Adams for the
first time saw that he was bleeding
freely. He would still have opposed,
for there was a horrible' black feeling
of despair in hia heart, and it seemed
worse than sacrilege to go, and, hb it
were; leave the women to their fate,
when suddenly he gave a lurch for

of the policemen caught him, aud
Larry ruahed forward to hla help.

Larry. "Bad luck to thim, fightln'

X TALE OF HORIiOR.
A Bloody Tragedy Enacted at Bloom
ington Indiana.
fEWSPAPfiR CORRESPOJIDEXTS."
From the BIooHHngtcn.(in.) PaHtrapl.
About. tnreeye&ra. ago a man went
from here to Bloomington, Indiana.
He left the train at the latter place
between-itM hours of G and. 7 o'clock
In the evening, and went to a hotel
in that city and applied for entertain
ment for the night. The landlord
saw that the man was considerably
under the In fluenco of liquor at
the time. The man said bo had no
money, but would have plenty In the
morning. The landlord asked why
It was that he had no mduey at that
time. He answered that he had been
chased by some men, and had left his
money, which amounted to $1,700, in
tho hands of the station agent, but
would get it injthe morning arid pay
the bill.
The landlord said be could stay,
asking him to register his name, but
this he could not do, as be was too
much intoxicated at the time, The
landlord registered for him, and he
gave hia name aa either "William" or
"John Moore, Bloomington, III."
The. hotel has since been burned, and
with It the register, and for this rea
son the landlord cannot remember the
name distinctly, butit was either Wil
liam or John. The next morning M
Btepped out of the hotel, and, after a
short stay, came back with money
and paid hia bill.
The landlord inquired of the Station
Agent about Mr. Moore and the Bum
of money thatjiad been left In hia pos
session for safe keeping. The agent
said he had received a large quantity
of money, butaa he was not special
ly responsible he did not count it, but
would judge that there waa seventeen
hundred dollars, or very near that
sum.
Mr. Moore staid-in'the olty, around
the hotel for oomo time, ajnd finally
said that hehad:a friend In the coup-'
try, and he was. going out to see him-.

Larry, pathetically. "One don't

"It must have been here," said
Dawson, stopping before a wretohed,
rickety-looking place.
"What must have been here?" said
Adams, curiously.
"Why, where they stood for shel

Adams could hardly have stared
more if he had had a blow; hia hand
went to hia throat, and he twice es
sayed to speak, but no worda came.
Then, seizing Dawson by the arm, he
made motions for him to explain.
This the American did in a few
Bharp, brief sentences, and the two
men looked at each other aghast.
There was now a diversion in their
favor, for some of the ill-looking
"scoundrels who hod been edging up
suddenly began to sidle away, the
reason being' that the o.aps of several
of the police were Been over the heads
of the crowd, and a brief explana

"It's no use to go Into that now,"
said their leader, sharply. "We must
come again when thinga haVe cooled
down. Your lives ain't safe a min

leave them there. It 13 impossible."
"And suppose they have got baok
to the hotel while you'and the rest of
us have been getting ourselves chaw
ed up?" said the sergeant.
Dawson waited to hear no more,
but stared off at a trot, and was only
stopped by Larry, who ran'afterhim.
"Don't be afther cuttin' away from
the masther like that;" he said. "If
ye'reso 6throng, he Isn't; so come
on' give him yer arm.'.'
Dawson smiled and waited the com
ing of Adams ; then together they
hastened on to the hotel.
"It's a forlorn hope," said Adams,
with a groau. "Fool that I.was ever
to leave them !"
"Well," said Dawson, quietly, "I
did not like their going, but I follow
ed them all through, as closely aa I
cduld, till I missed them for a few
minutes ; and in those few minutes
they were insulted, and "
"Bedad, it's thim ! Hurroo !" cried
Larry, pointing to the window of the
hotel, where sat.Mary and Mrs. Ad

who were absent.

before they started. The friends then
separated, aud that was the last time
Mr. Moore was ever seen.
Only a few weeks since a man de
serted hia wife there, and to revenge
herself upon her huaband, the wife
then told the story that Mr. Moore
had been murdered In a saloon In
Bloomington, Ind., and that her hua
band was implicated aa one of the par
ties. She said that her husband had
told all the names, aud described the
manner In whioh tho fearful crime
wa3 perpotrated. They had coaxed
Mr. Mooro away and caused him to
beoome Intoxicated, and then, when
under the influence of liquor, and un
able to defend himself, the saloon
keeper and four others had stabbed
him with their knives until they had
killed him. They then made off with
his money.
Three of the parties had been arrest
ed and put in jail on Tuesday, and on
Saturday night previous, the officers
came In, bringing with them as a cap

who waa Implicated in the murder.
He was captured in Douglas county,
where he had been for some time.
During hi3 stay in Douglas ho waa
