CHAPTER II

THE WELCOME AT IVANHOE.
Bing Harper, manager on Devil-Mav-
Care. wondered Why Duke should tele
phone so urgently from Vicksburg for
his horse 10 meet him at Ivanhoe
Landing. ten miles away. when he
might leave the boat In front of his
own plantation store.
The Sultana threw out her stage
plank at lvanhoe and Noel Duke was
the first man to step ashore. The
whites OF Chalky's eyes grew very
wide at sight OF his irreproachable
dress; but the negro did not grin:
not even muscle .witched at the cor
ners OF his mouth.
Here. Challxy. why didn't you put
a better saddle blanket on this horse
You don't haf groom him anyhow"
fassuh. yassuh. but you tole me
TO use dat ole blanket cause it's SO
soft"
Haven't you got one that looks a
little fresher? Wen, put it on next
time"
He swung himself into the saddle
and left Chalky to scramble on his
mule with a brand-new valise across
his pommel.
Take that home" he ordered. I'm
going TO stop at Ivanhoe."
Though he mentioned this startling
fact as nonchalantly as he could
Chalky stopped and stared, and Duke
wished that he were close enough to
hit him with something.
Duke rode slowly to the top OF the
levee and halted his horse. The Ivan
hoe dwelling stood on little ridge.
200 yards from the rivera low white
house built on piers which were tall
enough to raise IL above the highest
water He glanced uneasily toward
the house. straight through the wide
open doorways OF the hail. Mrs. Ash
ton sat In her inevitable rocking chair
it must be Mrs. Ashton, she rocked
herself to and fro with such precision
There was a broad gallery running
round the house on three sides, and
morning glories climbed to the caves
Through the interlacing vines he saw

TERED up on deck quicker than a child
could build q house OF blocks.
Then Duke nodded TO one OF HIS ne
groes: "All right. Chalky. put him
aboard"
Two negroes bent over and lifted a
limp black body from the ground
At first the thing frightened Anita
she thought it must be a dead man.
Bear" said Mrs Ashton: that's
all the fellow is good for: he does
XIII out the bears"
The bell sounded: the Sultana was
ready 70 leave The Duke OF Devil
May-Care turned and went back TO
his horse.
Hold the boat a minute. Matthews. 4"
he called 10 the mate.
"AI right. Mr Duke. whenever you
are ready"
The Sultana waited Mrs. Ashton
fumed. Everybody lets him have his
way" she muttered. angrily, mo
wonder he's such a fool"
After some moments conversation
with his negroes Duke turned back
leisurely and crossed the stage-plank
Snowfall cast or the headline. scram-
bled aboard and the boat backed out.
"How's your grace to-night?" BLUM
old Capt Graham smiled and took on

on His Train.
Pensacola, Fla.,s Dec. 49, Charges
have been preferred by conductor of
train from Pensacola to Fort Baran-
cas-, alleging that soldiers at that post
fred on his car from ambush. Of
icers of the post are investigating the
trouble
The conductor AYERS that on leaving
Pensacola for the fort, a distance of
ten miles, he had trouble with an ar
tilleryman about his fare. When he
attempted to eject the soldier from
the car his comrades rushed to his as
sistance, and one of them threatened
the conductor with club. The street
car man drew revolver and stood of
the soldiers. The artillerymen who
caused the trouble were placed under
arrest by the civil authorities.
On reaching Barancas the soldiers,
about twenty in number, alighted. The
car stopped ten minutes at the fort be-
fore beginning the return trip. The
conductor AYERS that within a short
distance from the post on the return
a volley was fired at him. He was on
the rear platform and alighted, re-
turning the fire with his revolver. Ha
says his assailants, whom he racog-
niZed as soldiers, then fed.

VICTORIA LUISE LOST.
Steamer Pounding to Pieces on Port
Royal Rocka.


Kingston, Jamaica, Dec 10. = The
Hamburg-American steam ship Princes
sin Victoria Luise, which struck a
ledge of rock off Port Royal, is total
wreck. Spray is breaking high over
her, and the sea is pounding her hard.
Captain Brunswig, who committed
suicide, mistook Plain Point light for
that at the western point of Port Roy
al and turned the vessel sharply north,
steaming at fourteen knot gait.
The ship struck head on with ter
rife crash. Then the waves forced her
broadside on the ledge. Her hull, i'm
paled on the rocks, has nine feet Of
water in the starboard side, sixteen
feet in the port side and has a heavy
list to port. Marine surveyors here
think that If she were pulled Off she
would sink Immediately. The bottom
is pushed up and the bed plates and
engines displaced.
A passenger who gave an account Of
the disaster denied that panic ensued
when the steamer struck the rock.

Works Harder Than Roosevelt, Says
President HadIey of Yale.
New Haven, Conn, Dec. 19.-Presf
dent Hadley of Yale was a speaker at
the meeting of the Connecticut board
Of agriculture
President Hadley said in part:
1.-THE farmer must make a great deal
out Of very little in this state. Over
on the top of hill In Fairfield l have
been laboring, and 1 would say that
the man who accomplished the task
of making farm there has a harder
Job than President Roosevelt, for a
regiment of colored soldiers, a dipIo
mats wife and Panama canal are
small matters in comparison.
''The farmer stands for all that Is
good, true and honest In the time of
trouble he is the one man looked to, as
in the civil war. Farming makes real
men, more SO than a mere college edu-
cation. We are working toward a com
mon end, and for that reason Yale vel
comes this society as being engaged In
kindred work-furnishing material fol

there will be mountain of testimony
