CHAPTER III.

The Bayou Woods was Il locality

When it was not picturesque it was
dismal. When it's mighty

underground was Il vcNation to the
spirit. On the bosom of pools whose
slime was an otfensc to the eye were
spread in summer time fleets of wa
ter lilies whose beauty WAS an in
spii'ation to the fancy. Flower and
fungus were alike characteristic Of
it in the warmer months. and in the
rainy season il seemed to act as
vast sponge and absorb an abnormal
amount Of moisture. Rotting timber
half-fallen oaks, patches of canebralle
and clusters of holly trees were
among it's marked features. Deadly

bore evidence of the highwatcr mark
of the last overflow. and melancholy
marked it at all times.
The Bayou Woods was also local

it was considered a good hunting
ground, but that was the only good
known of it. More crimes perhaps
had been committed there than in any
other suburban section.
On the north line of the woods
were several houses occupied by peo-
pie of the lowest class.
One of these was Il dance house
and saloon, where the liquor that

over many orgies in this highly I'M

Before this place the chief Of police
stopped and he and his companion
alighted. Before Investigating any
crime committed in the Bayou Woods
it was always advisable to see if any
pupil of the DEVILS Den. as the place
was called, had been concerned in it.
The repulsiNe exterior of the place
did not do Justice to the fascinating
hit,eouSness Of the interior. The
very atmosphere there savored OF
vice and crime. A large stove heated
it almost to suirocation. and it was

was not Il bad judge of human ma

to the vcriication or explosion OF
