He went to the door and looked up
and down the alley. The negro was
not vet in sight, and he walked
swiftly in the direction opposite to
that taken by the man. A pawn
brokers' shop Of the kind he required
was not far to seek in that locality,
and when it was found Griswold
drove a hard bargain with the Portu-
guese Jew behind the counter. The
pledge he offered was the clothes
he wore; and the bargain was con-
cluded for a pair of jeans trousers,
a calico shirt, sailors cap and

dcplored piteously before he would

The Portuguese, most suspicious
of men, suspected everything but the
truth, as OTlSWOlu udu lutchuCu, w

stolen the clothes. And when Girls

might otherwise have given the po-
lice most important clew, was
carefully hidden away until time
should have quieted the Jews APP

Having thus disguised himself,
Griswold made the transformation
artistically complete by walking for
a quarter of an hour in the dust of
a loaded cotton float on the levee.
Then he made tramp's bundle OF

CHAPTER w. CONTINUED.

Griswold smiled when he remem'
bered how, in fiction OF the felon-
catching sort-and in real life, for
that matter-the lawbreaker always
did leave a trace behind him, and
determined for once in way to
demonstrate practically that it was
quite as easy to create an lnerrant
fugitive as an infallible detective.
Joining the throng on the sidewalk
he made his way leisurely to Canal
street. and thence diagonally
through the French quarter to the
French market. In narrow alley

into the rickety chair.
The negrs shuffied out, seeming
tips. The moment he was OUT OF
sight Griswold snatched the scissors
and began to hack recklessly at his
beard; recklessly and swiftly, but
with thoughtful purpose. The re-
suit was complete metamorphesis
speedily wrought. In place of the
trim beard and curling mustache
there was a rough stubble, stiff and
uneven, like that on the face of a
man who had neglected to shave for

sight moved him. as thankless hu-

to contrasting the hard lOt of the
Iaborers with that of the group of
passengers looking on idly from the
comfort and shade of the saloon

into compassionate speech:
Poor devils, They've been told
they are free, and perhaps they be-
lieye il; but surely no slave of the
galleys was ever in bitterer bond

ever in worse case than these poor
drudges who are free only to bear

"Where?"
The consumptive named small
river town in Iowa.
"And you were going to work your
passage"
81 was allowin' to try it. But I'm
done up, now"
Griswold's impulsiveness was east
ly dominant in any appeal to his
sympathy; and his compassion went
straight to the mark, as it always
did when his pockets were not
empty.
"What is the fare by rail to your
town." he inquired.
81 don't know; / never asked. But
it's between $40 and $50, reckon;
and that's more money than I've
seen sence the woman died"
Griswold hastily counted out $500
from his contingent fund, and thrust
the money into the mans hand.
'sTake that and change places with
me-" he said, slipping on the mask
of gruffness again. PAY your fare
on the train and I'll take your job
on the boat. Don't be a fool" he
added, when the man put his face
in his hands and began to choke.
"It's a fair enough exchange, and
I'll get as much out of it one way
as you will the other. What is your
name? may have to borrow it."
"John Gavitt."
"All right; off with you," said the
liberator; and with that he Shout
dered the sick mans load and fell
into line in the ant-procession.
Once on board the steamer he fol-
lowed his file-leader aft and made it
his first care to find a safe hiding
place for the knotted bandanna.
That done, he dropped into line
again, and when he went ashore the
sick man was gone.
Injured to hard living as he was,
Griswold had made no more than a
half-dozen rounds between the levee
and the after-deck of the Belle
Julie in the ant-procession before he
was glad to remember that the
steamers lading was all but COM
pleted. 1t was toll of the sharpest,
and he drew breath of blessed re-
lief when the last man staggered
up the plank with his burden, while
the bell changed it's final summons,
and the slowly-revolving paddle
wheels took the strain from the
mooring lines. Being nearest the
bow line, Griswold was one of the
two who sprang ashore at the mates
bidding to cast off; and they were
in the act when carriage drove
rapidly down to the stage and two
tardy passengers hurried aboard.
The mate bawled from his station
on the hurricane deck:
"Now, then! Take turn on that
spring line out there and get them
trunks aboard! Lively"
