CHAPTER I.

In the days before New Orleans be-
came modern city with trolley cars
and sky-scraping buildings--was it
yesterday or the day before?-there
was dingy little cafe in the news
paper quarter which was well beloved
of journalism, notably of that wing OF
the force whose hours begin late and
end early. g
"Chaudiere's," it was called, though
know not if that were the name OF
that wien little Gascon who took toll
at the desk; and it was particularlzed
for it's gumbos, it's stuffed crabs and
its claret, which was neither very bad
nor very dear. For the rest, it had
clean, sanded floor, handicapped
tables for two, and an old-world air OF
recreative comfort which is rarer now,
even in New Orleans, than it was yes
terday or the day before.
1t was at Chaudiere's that Griswold,
late of New York and the coasts OF
bohemia, had eaten his first breakfast
in the Crescent city and it was at Chau-
diere's again that he shared afarewell
supper with cambridge of the "Louisi-
anian." Six weeks lay between this
and that; forty odd days of discour-
agement and failure superadded upon
other like days and weeks and
months. The breakfast, he remem-
bered, had been garnished with certain
green sprigs of hope; but at the supper
table he ate like barbarian in arrears
to his appetite, rocking not that he was
another mans guest.
cambridge had just been billeted
for a run down the Central American
coast to write up the banana trade for
his paper. He was boyishly jubilant
over the assignment, which promised
to be neither more nor less than a
pleasure trip; and, CHANGING upon
Griswold, in the first flush of his ella
ton, had dragged him around to the
cafe to play second knife and fork at
small parting feast. Not that 1t had re-
ouired much persuasion. Griswold
had tasted for twenty-four hours and
he would have broken bread thank
fully with an enemy, to say nothing OF
fledged friend, was at least friendly
acquaintance.
Now, a hungry man is but poor COM
pany at best; but cambridge, the elat-
ed, contrived to talk for two until he
had relieved his mind upon the subject
of his windfall.
Then it occurred to him that Girls
void was rather more than usually I'M
responsive--a fault not to be condoned
under the circumstances. Wherefore
he protested.
"What's the matter with you to-
night. Kenneth? You're more than
commonly grumpy-and that's saying
a good deal"
Griswold took the last roll from the
plate and buttered it methodically.

"That's comforting as far as 1t goes,

The question fell in with the report
er's train of thought, and he answered
il rather more fully and freely than he
might have at another time under diff
ferent conditions. From telling who
Griswold was, he slipped BY easy de-
grees into the story Of his ups and
downs. ending with vivid little word
painting OF the scene in Ghaudiere's.
sTo hear him talk. you would think
he was. a bloody-minded anarchist OF

like n man and tried to save the wom-

mother died, he took the child to his
own eight-by-ten attic and nursed ana

it off his hands, He did that, mind you,
when he was living on two meals day
himself; and / fancy he skipped one OF
them to buy milk for that kid"
"Humph! And he calls himself an
anarchist, does he? It's bowling pity
there amt lot more just like him,
said the detective, septentiously.
"That is what ] say" cambridge
agreed. Then, with sudden twinge OF
remorse for having told Griswold's
story to stranger, he changed the
subject with an abrupt question.
"Where are you headed for, Griffin
The detective chuckled. "You don't
expect me to give it away to you-a
newspaper man-do you? But | will,

Baineridge applauded in dumb show
with his thumb-nails. "Turn it loose

indulgently. 81 know things haven't

ridicule was as fuel to the flame.
"The money people have set us the

is simple; there is enough and to spare

will saw. So be it,; it is the only one

NEW COMPLICATIONS AROSE.
Delay In the Resumption of Traffic
on the New Orleans Street
Railway Lines.

New Orleans, Oct. 14.-Although an
agreement was reported, Sunday
night, between the New Orleans
Street Railway Co. and its striking
motormen and conductors, whereby
the latter agreed to return to work
Monday morning, there was some de-
lay in resuming traffic, on account of
new complications which arose be-
tween the employees and the company
over demand that the strikers, on
returning to work, sign new applica-
tons for places, which were to be re-
ferred to physicians who would pass
upon the eligibility of the applicant,
and which some of the employees de-
clared would give the company the
opportunity to reject any men they
desired. A number of the men signed
the applications and took out cars,
but others refused, and the union is
sued an order that no more cars be
