Then Suzanne told Maman Chavan she
was going home. The girl was not too
deeply in love with Hector, but imagina-
ton counts for something, and SO does
youth.
-
Laballiere was ON the train with her.
She felt somehow ssat he would be. And
yet he did not dream that he had watch
ed and waited for her each morning
since he parted from her.
He went to her without preliminary
OF manner or speech and held out his
hand. She extended her own unhesitat-
ingly. She could not understand why,
and she was little too weary to strive
tc do SO. 1t seemed as though the sheer
force Of his will would carry him to the
goal of his wishes.
He did not weary her with attentions
during the time they were together. He
sat apart from her, conversing for the
most time with friends and acquaint-
ances who belonged in the sugar district
through which they travelled in the early
part Of the day.
She wondered why he had ever left
that section to go up into Natchitoches.
Then she wondered if he did not mean
to speak to her at all. AS if be had read
the thought, he went and sat down be-
side her.
He showed her. away off across the
country, where his mother lived, and
his brother Alcee, and his cousin Clar-
isse.
=
On Sunday morning when Maman
Chavan strove to sound the depth of
Hector's feelings for Suzanne, he told
her again, Women. my dear Maman
Chavan, you know how it is with me in
regard to women And he refilled her
glass from the bottle of sauterne.
"Farceur, va!'' And Maman Chavan
laughed. and her fat shoulders quivered
under the white volante she wore.
A day or two later Hector was walk
ing down Canal street at in the after
noon. He might have posed as he was
for fashion plate. He looked not to the
right nor to the left. Not even at the
women who passed by. Some of them
turned to look at him
When he approached the corner of
Royal, young man who stood there
nudged his companion.
lyon know who that is:' he said, in
dicatins Hector.

entered heartily into the spirit of the en-
terprise.

when we point ours; you shoot when we
shoot. What's your name?"
'Luny," slabbered the boy over his thick
tongue.
Tom drew him into the thicket where
the others were concealed. For moment
the boy seemed apprehensive when brought
into the presence of Jim and Dick, but
they took up the cue given by Tom, and
with kind and reassuring words welcomed
tie boy and made him feel at ease.
The stage slowly climbed the grade, the
horses laboring heavily and snorting at
intervals. The driver, all unsuspecting,
urged them forward with word and whip
crack. Suddenly four forms leaned into
the road at his horses heads; one seized
bride, and two others, one on either side,
held the driver covered with rifles, while
fourth, shambling about with great I'M
certainty, brandished a stick which he
carried, made feints of shooting with it,
ana laughed and crowed delightedly.
with the demand to throw down the box
came shot from one OF the robbers. The
driver dropped the lines and sat pale,
silent ana distressed. A woman's scream
issued from the interior of tne stage, and it
was answered with raking voIley and
command to keep heads within or get
them blown to eternal torment
The box soon fell with heavy thump
INTO the road. To provide against the pos
slolllty OF trick the passengers were or
dered out, stood IN line, searched and
robbed, and the interior and boot of the
stage were examined. Then the passen-
gers were ord cred back and the driver
directed sharply to proceed on his way.
AS soon as the stage was gone the rob
bers dragged this box over the log and
broke 1t open with an ak. The treasure
which they expected to find was all
there-bags of gold and silver coin. Still
fearing trick, they opened the bags and
ran their fingers through the shining
metal; it was sound and beautiful and the
sweetest music rang in its tinkle. They
hastily tied up the parcels and prepared to
pick up their rifles and escape into the
forest which filled the canyon and
blanketed the mountain slopes, and find
waiting horses tethered in gulch not far
away.
But an unexpected thing had happened.
They had given no heed whatever to the
idiot boy, who was dancing and capering
about in the finest glee. Discovering that
his mock weapon was inferior in beauty to
the polished rifles of his new friends, he
had appropriated the one belonging to
Dick, the tall young novice. More tran

They sprang forward with the money
and two rifles, but an uncanny cry behind
them made them pause and look back.
The idiot was now terribly excited and
was pursuing them. When they halted
he also came to stand, and with threat
in the holding of his rifle shouted:
Money! | want money! Drop it. l
want it."
The case was serious, for every moment
was precious and there was a law that
made highway robbery a hanging crime.
jim, the mercurial one, ignoring the warn
ing and authority of his leader, dropped
his load of money and was in the act of
bringing up his rife to shoot the lad, when
the incredible happened-his quicker an
tagonist disarmed him with bullet in the
shoulder.
The three desperate men now realized
that they had an enemy more formidable
than the bravest order of cautious sanity
that most uncommon and terrible of
things, the angry madness of an idiot;
and every moment lost meant the nearer
approach of baying bloodhounds of the
law, with sharp eyes and noses and with
teeth that could inhict a fatal bite 500 yards
away.
slight flesh wound, but it gnawed him
with bitter pangs. Each of the three men
knew that the slightest movement to shoot
would be anticipated with a shot, and as
all were amazed to discover that the lad
could shoot at all and were ignorant of the
extent of his skill to offer open battle
meant the probable death of one. And
they clearly saw that the idiot had an in
stinct of self-preservation. Worst of all,
he was absolutely devoid of fear; the gold
wine in his blood had made him fierce
and terrible. 1t was not human being
that confronted them, but O ferocious
beast whose instructive cunning was made
more potent by that subst-atum of the
human quality in which cunning predom-
mates.
Tom was man of resources, but for a
while he was perplexed by the extra
ordinary character of the situation.
Boys" said he, "it's no use to fight.
The devil is In that grinning fool and he
has the drop on US. No more breaks like
the one you made, Jim. Guns are useless

The men then started to saunter indiffer-
emily away, Tom and Jim taking their
rifles; but no.

want guns"
Let's drop EN-" said Tom under his
breath. 1--WE have our knives left, and the
fool holds the drop on Us"
They laid the rifles alongside the money,
and with Jolly laughter and amusing
antics-an exercise led by Tom-they went
tripping away, the boy guffawing heartily
at their pranks. The men melted away
into the woods, and the idiot advanced,
alert and cautious and carrying his rifle
ready Tor action.
Thus he crept to the pile of money. His
slavering lips and retreatlng chin twitched
and writhed under the highest excitement
of which he was capable, and his eyes,
while still darting suspicious chances in
the direction of the spot where the men
had passed from view, were nevertheless
blazing with a greed for money.
Boys" said Tom when they had gone
beyond the idiots hearing. there are
only two things left. In few minutes the
stage will reach the summit station, where
there is a telephone, and Immediately
afterward hunting parties will leave every
town in the mountains within d radius of
twenty miles. II must be quick and des-
perate work now, or everything is lost.
The two things that are left for US are
these: AS we have nothing to shoot with
we must either slip round, get above the
fool and roll down a bowlder on him. and
take slim chances on it's striking him, or
one of US must creep up and give him the
knife
"And Kill him?'' asked Dick, the young
est man, in alarm.
Mop quickly exclaimed the leader.
| Cripple him; if not with a knife. then
with club; but knife is better because
to use a club you'll have to get arm-free-
dom and so make q noise"
There was a touch of the ludicrous in the
| helpless look of the two younger men, but
the face of the elder was dark and serious
| and malignant.
''I'll attend to the boy" he quietly said
The idiot was sitting on the ground, the
rifle across his legs and his hands engaged
| in LAYING in the beautiful pile of metal
between his feet. He chuckled, gurgled,
crooned and crowed, and shouted at times
in simple riot OF pleasurable emotions.
! Gradually his wariness relaxed, and with
q subsistence of the turmoil which had
kept his blood boiling came more pas
sive mood and that desire for repose which
safety creates.
The robbers had discovered the prudence
to take away the sacks which had held the
coin, but the idiot, moved by that instinct
of acquisition which represented his herit-
age of the ages, began to stow the treas
ure in his pockets. In order to do this he
had to sacrifice some of the queer odds and
ends which he had assembled there-such
as strings, bright stones, nails and wild
nuts. This brought struggle upon him
Painfully he weighed these cherished pos
sessions against the sparkling gold and
silver, and with many sigh relinquished
/ this string and that stone.
He discovered that with all the sacrifices
which he could make there was still INSULT.
