he was compelled to drink the dregs,
for he had lost
Then. looking up into the face of his
opponent. he saw a sparkle in the eyes
of the Marquis. a glow of triumph that
gave him a cold chill.
Where had he seen that same look
before? Cudgel his brain as he would,
he could not remember. II am done
for tonight, Marquis; you have won
all possess: your luck is prodlgious,"
he said, as he rose.
"Ah! indeed, you are kind to say so,
captain; but l assure you 1t was not
always the case. The demon OF mis-
fortune has had his little fling at my
door, even as he now knocks at yours.
but you see lived through 1t, and my
hour has come. Shall we enjoy any
further social play. captain? assure
you. 1t is a rare pleasure for me to en-
gage in this little pastime with a gem
tleman OF your skill and attain
ments.'
81 hope to see you again II am able
to scrape any part of my resources to-
gether. II not. Marquis. you can be
satisfied that | am down to bed rock.
| never yield while have a single
weapon left in my hand" he said,
grlmly.
"T can well believe that. captain"
and. returning Livermore's stiff bow.
he watched the soldier saunter among
the other club members. chatting with
this one and laughing at some sally as
though nothing had occurred to dis
turb his equanimity.
The Marquis frowned.
He knew this man was absolutely
ruined. and yet his victory had been
robbed of half its sweetness because
he had failed to quench that indomit-
able soldier spirit that refused to
knuckle under at misfortune's call.
That afternoon he attended garden
party at Lady Catherwood's palatial
home. Here he was. as usual. the lion
of the occasion, and his hostess was
kept busy introducing him. Finally
they approached single figure. stand
ing under a royal palm that had been
brought from the famous Catherwood
conservatory for the occasion-the fig
ure of young woman.
Her back was toward those who ad-
vanced, but he could catch the queenly
poise of her proud head. II her face
did not disappoint the anticipation
aroused by this first glance. she must
be a fit subject for an artists dream
my dear have succeeded in rescu-
ing the Marquis. and bring him cap
tive in my train to pay his respects
to my guest and kinswoman," said
Lady Catherwood, blandly.
The queenly figure turned, and in so
doing came under the soft light of a
nearby lantern.
Thus the Marquis found himself face
to face with a spectre of the past
again in memory he could see this
gloriously beautiful creature gracefully
gliding about in the dance. while man
dollns and guitars struck weird chords
that served as time to her flying feet:
again he could see the gay sash tied in
a knot that ornamented one plump
shoulder. while shining knife fast
ened by a scarlet ribbon. decorated the
other. the cold, cruel blade nesting
against her heaving bosom as she thus
invited her hot-blooded admirers to
meet in mortal combat, for the guest
of Lady Catherwood was no other
than senorita Juanita, the belle Of
Gautarica.

He hurried over to the table. upon
and tearing sheet OF paper from his
wade mecum. wrote upon it these
words:
Accept this from friend Hope
for brighter things in the future
trust in God"
A movement on the part of Mazette
warned him 1t was time to be gone
he only fingered long enough to pin
the money and the note to the table
and then walked hastily down the
stairs
Once outside the marquis walked to-
ward the Strand with a swinging
stride-he seemed to have thrown of
some of the cynical moodiness that
had marked his intercourse with all
men since strikingsLondon.
Finally he drew up at shop almost

over the door was the sign of Duval,
sacred to many who had handled
brush or crayon in the worlds me-
tropolis.
NJ. Duval saw a prospective purchas-
ar and of course, was all smiles.
Miniatures-certainl he always kept
them in stock and had the means of
reproducing any photograph at short
notice
He watched the customer separate
half dozen of the little paintings on
ivory from the rest, and marveled at
the ease with which he had thus pick
ed out all the works OF one brush.
These are the only decent ones you
have Tell me how much for the lot, -
he said. quietly.
Mr.. Duval named a price far in ex-
cess OF their intrinsic value. Judging
that he must have been blind to their
merits. and was Immediately cursing
himself under his breath for not hav-
ing added on third more. for the
marquis careIessly threw the amount
down.
This artist pleases me. sir. /
would like to have a dozen family por-
traits done by the same brush. For
each of these shall pay FIVE pounds to
the artist and your commission of one
pound Is that bargain. NJ. Duval?"
The dealer snatched at It eagerly.
Consider 1t settled. then. Now,
am an expert at this work. 1t is evil
dent to me the artist is a lady"
Monsieur is quite correct" bowing
low and rubbing his hands together
with pleasure.
VERY good. There is no need of
paper between us-a nudum factum Is
quite sufficient. But, my dear Mon
sieur Duval, remember. they must be
by the same brush"

hand you in a package OF family pic

ton of miniatures. | shall also leave

Mon Dieu; 1t is one great pleasure.
Would that there were more custom
ers like you. m'sieur. It would then
be happiness to be in trade" said the
hattered and delighted dealer in pic
lures.
The marquis took his leave, filled
with a sensation of having started the
ball rolling. nor was it until he had
gone that NJ. Duval thought to recall
the fact that he had failed to ask his
princely customers name.

SOLD INTO ~sERvITUDE-

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: In your issue OF Saturday last, the Stn,
there was a brief notice 10 the effect that one
Fisher Milton negro. indicted in 1901 for VagTan-
cy who had since been al large had been captured
in Lawrenceburg. KY. and tried before Judge
Davis. in the County Court Your notice continues:
The Judge returned verdict OF guilty. and fixed
his punishment at being sold into servtude fer a
pe-iod Of twelve months
In your issue OF the 18th there is another notice.
more brief than the first. stating that the sale had
taken place. and the negro had been purchased for
500 BY a respectable negro farmer, who an
nounced that ne was not governed by sentiment
in making the purchase but that he thought he
was getting the worth Of his money. and he tn
tended to force Milton 70 work hard
Is It possible that such judgment as this can
be rendered to-day. in free country, and not
a voice be raised IN protest? That the sale OF a
human being can actually take place and attract
no more notice than would the announcement Of
an early fall Of snow To what purpose was the
Civil War fought through all It's bitter length If
such an act this be perpetrated to-day?
| would venture 10 assert that had the vagrant
CHANGED he a white instead OF negro
and further, that had the respectable negro
farmer who purchased Milton come forward TO
purchase the white instead. there would have
been a Iynching party that night in LaTrenceburg
which would have included both the judge who
dared to sentence and the farmer who had had the
eudaCity to buy. - o.o T. = M
