Once more that hideous smile of cunning lit up the face which in these few moments had undergone a myste- rious deterioration. He hastily remov- ed the heap of rubbish , shuddered as : he saw the loathsome thing once more exposed to view , but seized it , dragged It back , and placed it with consum- mate art in the position which his criminal prescience had suggested. As it lay there in the road nothing could have seemed more natural than that it had fallen from the horse ; he ( felt another momentary relief from terror , in which he cunningly conceiv- ed a still more sagacious plan , on no- ticing Romeo. They were the best of friends ; it was easy to catch him. He did so , removed the saddle , broke the girth and placed It near the prostrate figure of the quack. Nothing could have more perfectly resembled an ac cident. An adept in crime could not have performed this task with finer skill , and he was free now to turn to the rest of the work that he must do to conceal this ghastly deed. Approaching the buggy , he found to [ his immense relief that Pepeeta was still unconscious. With swift and si- lent movements he freed the mare , led her out into the road and drove hur- riedly away. As he emerged from the wood they ; " came to another brook : , so similar to the one by the side of which the strug- gle had occurred , that he conceived the Idea of stopping by its side and awak- ening Pepeeta from her stupor there. "She wiU not notice the difference , " he said to himself ; "and if she did not I witness the fatal blow I can persuade her that I overpowered the doctor and forced him to return while she was in I " i her swoon. Stopping the horse , he lifted her In- I animate form from the carriage , bore it to the side of the brook , laid it gen- tly upon the bank and dashed a hand- ful of the cold water into her white : ' face. She gasped , opened her eyes , and , sitting up , looked about her with I . an expression of terror. "Where am I ? " she asked. "Do you not remember ? You are here in the wood where the doctor overtook us , " he replied. "And where is he ? " "Pie : has returned. " "But I saw you clench with each other , and it was awful ! What hap- pened then ? I must have fainted. Do I' ' you mean that he has gone back with- out me ? How did you persuade him to do that ? " "I persuaded him with my fists. You should have seen me , Pepeeta ! "Did he acknowledge that he had deceived me ? " "He did indeed. Yes , he has gone , never to return. He made his confes- sion and relinquished his claim. And so we have nothing to do but forget him and be happy. Are you feeling better now ? " "Yes , I am better ; but I am not well ; I cannot shake It off. It seems too dreadful to have been real. And yet how much better It is than If one of you had been killed ! Oh ! I wish I could stop seeing it. Yet us got ! Let us leave this gloomy wood. Let us get out into the sunshine. See ! It Is getting dark. We must not stay here any longer. " "Yes , let us go , " he said , rising , lift- Ing her gently from the ground and leading her back to the buggy , in which they took their seats and drove rapidly forward. Pepeeta's thought were full of glad- ness ; and David's full of agony-they rushed tumultuously back and forth through his mind like : contrary winds through a forest. "Was it not enough that I should be an A 4am \ , and fall ? Must I also be- come a Cain and go forth with the brand of a murderer on my forehead ? " he kept saying to himself. CHAPTER XII. The morning after the fight David and Pepeeta hurried on to Louisville , and from there took a steamer to New Orleans. Pepeeta was radiant with joy as they embarked. "How happy I am t" ! she cried. "It seems as if I had left my old life and the old world be- hind me ! " "And I am happy to see you glad , " answered the wretched youth , whose heart lay ; in his bosom like lead and whose conscience was writhing with a I torture of whose like he had never I even dreamed. They embarked un- known and unobserved ; but as soon as the first confusion had passed , their singular beauty and unusual appear- ance made them the cynosure of every . aye. aye."Who i "Who is that splendid fellow , ? " wom- en asked each other , as David passed with Pepeeta on his arm , while under their breaths men declared that his companion was the loveliest woman who had ever set foot on a Missis sippi steamer. David was In need of excitement. The thought of his crime was con- stantly agitating his heart , the pros- trate : form of the doctor with the bloody wound on his forehead was never absent from his mind , , and through : all the ceaseless rumble around him he could hear the dull thud of the stone upon the hard skull. The efforts which he made to throw off these horrible weight that crushed him were like those of a man awaken- ng from a nightmare. He scarcely , . . , . i . - dared to speak for fear of utterln words which would betray him and which seemed to tremble on his lips. Had he been on shore he would have fled to the solitude of a forest ; but here he was resistlessly impelled to that other solitude-a crowd. The ne cessity of being gay with his beautifu bride and of concealing every trace of his terror and remorse taxed his re- sources to their utmost limit , and in his nervousness he kept Pepeeta mov- ing with him all day long. At its close she was completely exhausted ; and re- tired early to her stateroom. Freed from her company and craving relief from thought , David made his way : straight to the gambling tables where the nightly games were in full swing. In the months which they had spent together the quack had indoctrInated David into all the best-known secrets ! of this vice , and besides this , had fa- miliarized him with the use of a cer- . . tain "hold out" of his own invention , with which he had achieved incredi- ble results and which was new to the < fraternity of the river. Having watch- ed the players for a long time , David convinced himself that he could em- ploy this trick successfully , and took his place at the table. David felt his way along with a coolness that astonished himself , and his very first experiment with the deli- cate apparatus concealed in his sleeve was such a brilliant triumph that he saw it was undetected. With v . strengthened confidence , he made the stakes larger and larger , and his win- nings Increased so rapidly as to make him the center of attention. The crowd swarmed round the table. The specta- tors became breathless. The gamblers were first astonished , then bewildered. As their nerve failed them , David's as- surance increased , and when day broke ten thousand dollars lay upon the ta- ble before him as the result of his skillful and desperate efforts. Their loss astonished and enraged the gamblers to such a degree that with a preconcerted signal they sprang at their opponent , determined to re- gain their money by violence. The move was not unexpected , nor was he unprepared. He fought as he had played , and so won the sympathies of the bystanders than In an instant there was a general melee in which he was helped to escape with the win- nings. He was the hero of the trip , and a career had opened before him. Satel- lites began to circle around him and . . to solicit his friendship and patrom- When he disembarked at New Orleans he had already entered into a part- nership with one of the most notable members of the gambling faater' ty , and purchased an interest in one of those "palaces" where games of chance attracted and destroyed their , thou- sands./ ) The newspapers made the gay throngs of that gayest of all cities fa- miliar with the incidents of David's advent. He and Pepeeta became the talk of the town. They rented a fash- ionable house , and swung out into the current of the mad life of the metropo- lis of the South. For a little while this excitement and glory softened the pain in the heart of the man who believed himself to be a murderer and encouraged him to hope that it might eventually pass away. He ayed recklessly but suc- cessfully , for he was a transient 'favor ite of the fickle goddess. When gam- bling lost its power to drown the voice of conscience , there was the race , the play and the wine cup ! To each of them appealing in turn , he went whirl- ing madly around the outpr circles of the great maelstrom in which so many brilliant youths were swallowed in those ante-bellum days. * . . * * * For two years David and Pepeeta lived together in New Orleans. They were years full of import , and of trou- ble. A baby came to them , lingered a few weeks , and then died. David pur sued the occupation he had chosen , with the vicissitudes of fortune usual- ly attending the votaries of games of chance , and the moral and spiritual deterioration which they invariably de- velop. Pepeeta altered strangely. Her bloom disappeared and an expression of sad- ness became habitual on her face. She was surrounded by luxuries of every . kind , but they did not give her peace. . With an ambition which never flagged . she sought self-improvement , and at- tained it to a remarkable degree. En- dowed with an inherited aptitude for culture she read and studied books , observed and imitated elegant man- ners , and rapidly absorbed the best elements of such higher life as she : . : had access to , until her natural beauty and charm were wonderfully enhanced. Yet she was not happy , for her life with David had brought her nothing but surprise and disappointment ; something had come between them , she knew not what. "Dey des growed apaht , " said the old negro "mammy , " who was with them during those two years. "Seem- ed to des tech each other like mahbles at a single point , stade of meltin' to- gedder lak two drops of watah runnin' I I down a window pane. Mars' David , he done went he own way , drinkin' and gamblin' ; he lak a madman when he baby die. He seem skeered when he see Miss Pepeeta. She look at him wid her big black eyes full of wonder and s'prlse , stretch out her li'l han's , and when he run away or struck her , she des go out to the li'l baby's grave , creeping along lak a shadder through the : gyahden , soft lak and still. Dar she des set down all alone and sigh lak de breeze in he old pine tree. some days she gone away all alone and dc brack folks say she wanner all . , aroun' In de woods. When Sunda : come , she des slip Into de churches fak a li'l mouse and nibble up de gospel crumbs and den run away before de priests cotch her. Dark days dose , In : de old Ballantrae mansion ! And den come de night when dey pahted. You done heah about dat ? " The old colored mammy was rIght. "They just grew apart , " as It was in- evItable that they should. Perfect self manifestation is the true principle and law of love , and when a guilty secret comes between two lovers , suspicion and fear inevitably result. They be- come incomprehensible to each other. It : was a frightful discipline ; but she was sanctified by : it. Day by day she became more patient , gentle and re- signed , and in proportion as she grew in these graces , her lover's awe and fear increased , and so they drifted far- ther and farthen apart. Such rela- tionships cannot continue forever , and < they generally terminate in tragedy. After the first few months' excite- ment of his new life , David's conscienc began to torment him anew. He be- came melancholy , then moody , and finally fell into the habit of sitting for hours among the crowds which swarmed the gambling rooms , brood- .ing over his secret. From stage to < stage in the evolution of his remorse < he passed until he at last reached that of superstition , which attacks the soul of the gambler as rust does iron. And so the wretched victim of many vices ! sat one evening at the close of the second year with his hat drawn down over his eyes , reflecting upon his past. "What's the matter , Davy ? " asked a. player who had lost his stake , and was : whistling good-humoredly as he left ; I the room. I "Leave me alone , " David growled , : and reached for a glass mug contain- i ing a strong decoction to which he was resorting more and more as his troubles grew intolerable. A strange thing happened ! As he put it to his lips its bottom dropped upon the ta- ble and the contents streamed into his lap and down to the floor. It was the straw that broke : the camel's back , for it had aroused a superstitious terror. With a smothered cry he sprang to his feet and gazed around upon his companions. They , too , had observed the untoward accident , and to them as well as to him it was a symbol of dis aster. Not one of them doubted that the bottom would fall out of his for tunes as out of his glass , for by such signs as these the gambler reads his destiny. He pulled himself together and made a jest of the accident , but it was im possible for him to dissipate the im- pression it had made on the minds ol his companions or to banish the gloom from his own soul. And so after a few brave but futile efforts to break the spell of apprehension , he slipped quiet- ly away , opened the door and passed out into the night. ( To be continued. ) PREY OP THE TIGER. lias Preference for Human Flesh After Once TaMtlng It. In the intervals of rest and recrea tion which Mr. : ; Rees doubtless allow himself he may do worse than giva his most attentive consideration to certain facts mentioned by a writer in the Indian Forester bearing upon I the evolution of the forest tiger's taste , first for cattle and then for hu man meat , the India Daily News says When tired of the monotony of the menu provided by deer or wild pig the , forest tiger develops a taste for domestic cattle , and then Its modus operandi is a very -interesting study The menue is changed from deep for est to cattle-breeding area , where the tiger leisurely carries on its depreda tions until shot-an operation which , however it might shock Mr. : Rees , ia i one of the most beneficent acts of the sportsman. As the writer in the aforesaid periodical says , 'the ' transition fronj cattle slaying to man slaying is not a great step. Where cattle abound hu man , beings are , and once the tiger has tasted the : human meat it develops an extraordinary passion for it. And so it must have its daily feed. It goes anywhere in search of food. Many : years : ago a tiger swam the Rangoon river , nearly a mile in width and landed in the heart of the local ity , crept under the raised floor of q : Burman ihut and was promptly slaughtered. About six years ago a large tiger was observed on the platform of the Shwe-Dogan pagoda at Rangoon and was shot by a party of soldiers told off for the purpose. The superstitious Burmese attributed the outbreak ol plague in Rangoon to the shooting of this -tiger , which they declared waa some particular manifestation of the Buddha. It is a curious fact , how ever , that the plague outbreak oc curred shortly afterward , and the city has not since been free of the scourge. A Compromise. "You'll have to send for anothei doctor , " said the one who had been called after a glance at the patient. "Am I so ill as that ? " gasped the sufferer.
