Indian chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1882-1902, 1888-02-02


While Lydia and Natalie had been talking,
n large stemn-yacht gldcd noisclessly down
the Bag and anchored on Cromwell's har-
Dor. A boat put OF from tho yacht and
came rapidly toward the shore.
Wl,ile tho yacht was coming 10 anchor, n
man sitting moodily and deiectodly looking
out Of one OF the windows Of Glen Gore
cottage raised his eyes toward tho sea, be.
yond the pines that stood between him and
the shore.
Ho saw, or thought no saw, two masts
and tho extreme tip of the blaclcned
snioke-stack Of u steamer projecting up
above the trees. He looked again. There
surely had been no vessel there In tho
morning, and that was a very extraordinary
place for anchorage.
Taking his hat, he walked rapidly toward
the shore. As he gained an opening in the
wood The captains gig was about halfway
between tho yacht and the landing place.
The yacht plainly enough was the INA
movna." Thcrc was no mistalring her. Only
an hour or two ago he had telegraphed her
captain and was momentarily expecting an
answer. Nov, here, as by magic, In all her
aquatic beatty before them lay the yacht
He oQnk scarcely believe his senses. -
As stIIo captain neared the shore, he rccog-
nized Fairfnx, and, raising his hAs, he greet
cd him with;
"Good afternoon, Mr.. Fairfsx. I'm glad
TO see you again, sir"
The latter returned the salute, and has
tened 20 shake hands with his late com
panion In Adver tures The captain, after
cordial inquiry after Fairfax's heelfh, ''and
more especially Of that OF your fair cousins
here sly, knowing twinkle momcntarily
filled his cye-Rnswered Fairfax's Inquiries
ns TO tho cause OF his unexpected presence,
by handing Aim an envelope, with thoeool
remark:
my dear Az, your games up. AN the
world viii soon scar about ID. AT present,
and two others ,ide yourself and your
own eonfidants- ire the only persons IN
America who lfn1'y tae true state Of affairs.
Those two othors are Jean Louyait and
jean Leroi; the formor head Of tho police
department at ST. Malo, the latter at St.
Brieux. These two men are noted rivals,
and letters from friend In Hayre have told
me that hoy have been like bloodhounds In
their pertinacity 10 discover tho trail Of the
abductors OF Tho stolen Princess Natalie.
Now n telegram, In cipher. from Mr. Mob
bitt, tells me he has Just learned the. both
Louvait and Leroi lately sailed by separate
steamers for New York.
sYou know the glory and the rcward that
awaits tho discoycfcr Of tho Princess's Is
whereabouts. They have spared, and will
spare, nothing m their efforts 70 find her.
Mr.. Nobbltt iclographs me that he Is con-
yinced they know your whereabouts and all

observe Il says that LopvsiI and Loroi will
reach New York on tho 0tll or the 7th. To
day Is the 7th. know Nebbitt well enough
10 believe thatwhon no says athing is 50 il Is
90. You may dopend upon IL that when those
men arrive In New York they win como di-
roctly here, N they are obliged 10 hire q
special engine 10 do IT, There win be a race
botwocn them. Each will stimulate the
other, and neither win lose a moment
II know Louvait well. When he's around
there's no child's play, can toll you. He is
always Ia a ,ad earnest He can talk English
like native His geography is something
wonderful his knowledge OF human nature
rtill more so. and his ability in tho direction
Of resources most wonderful Of all They
soy Loroi, although not 20 full Of genius as
Ionvnit, supplies this lack by patience,
proclsi6n and tremendous bulldog porii-
nacily.n
Fairiax's jaw had dropped during the first
part OF the recital; but, as tho captain pro
oeodod, he became more aud moro aroused
