''No. She is not at present for sale"
-Four thousand dollars!" LIE Fevre
cried, with an excitement that had
never known him to betray. -Four
thousand dollars; every cent own in
the world will give you for her. She
is nothing to you more than her money
value; she is everything to Dorr. Con-
sidering who and what she is, you
ought to be glad to let her go in this
way"
The fiend shook his head could
bear it no longer. With fists clenched
and muscles strained, ! dashed at him.
The iron hand of LIE Fevre restrained
me and dragged me from the room.
AS the door was closed behind us,
heard roar of laughter from within.

In the midst of the commotion LIE
Fevre rode up with MIR. Coteau. The
over3cer was shocked, as everybody
had been, at the news; but the habit
of authority was strong in him, and he
asserted himself at once. He went
among the weeping, clamoring people
on the stairs. and, with few energetic
words, sent them to the rear of the
bouse. The field-hands and their
women and children he put to fight
summarily to their quarters, bestowing
kick or cuff where he thought that
obedience was not ready enough.
When this was done he took the law
yer into the house, had his breakfast
got for him (for it was still early, and
sat and talked with him. When Mr.
Coteau had gone lie Fevre came to me-

he was here years ago, before he
changed his residence He said he did
remember such a person distinctly.
That isn't of great Importance; but
what he added is"
lie Fevre spoke slowly and with an
effort
'He said that he met Conrad Bostock
on Dauphin street, New Orleans, two
days ago, and, though he had not seen
him for years, he recognized him at
once. So you see the fellow won't
have to depend on unwilling witnesses
like you and Miss Coral and myself to
establish his rights here; he can get
people to identify him."
