CHAPTER XI.-Continued. )
It occurred to him that if he left the
body where it was and it should be
eventually discovered , it would afford
the gravest suspicions of foul play ;
but that if he dragged it back % iaii
to the road and laid it with its face
In the dust , against the rock wIth
which the deed was done , it might
pass for an accident.
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

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.

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.
