SYNOPSIS.

CHAPTER LIN 1882 Lieutenant Knox

of Joe Kirby (the Devils OWN. notorious
gambler
CHAPTER II. - Knox learns Judge
Beaucaire has a daughter, Eloise, and
whom the judge has disowned Rene's
mother is a negress, and she and her
daughter, never having been freed, are
slaves under the law, although the girls
have been brought up as sisters.
CHAPTER III.-Kirby induces the judge
to stake his plantation and negro servants
on a poker hand unfairly dealt by Joe
Carver. Kirby's partner. The two hands
contain five aces and Kirby accuses the
judge Of cheating Beaucaire, Infatuated.
arises to attack Kirby, and drops dead.
CHAPTER IV.-In the confusion Kirby
and Carver are enabled to steal away.
Knox tries to induce Kirby to give up his
stolen winnings. Kirby refuses and after
q hot argument he and Carver throw
Knox overheard. The lieutenant sWims
ashore and reaches a hut.
CHAPTER y;-Knox lies unconscious
for ten days. Recovering he finds he is
in a cabin owned by Pete, a free Niger"
who had shot him, mistaking him for an
enemy. His dispatches have been for
Beaucaire's lawyer, and they arrange,
with Pete's help, to get the women to the
cabin of an aboliti0nist, Amos Shrunk,
before Kirby comes.

CHAPTER VI.
The Home Of Judge Beaucaire.

The Home OF Judge Beaucaire.
The road we followed appeared to
be endless, and SO rough that / soon
climbed down from my seat, an un-
planed board, uncomfortable enough
under any conditions. in the swaying,
humping cart, and stumbled blindly
along behind. tripping over stumps In
the darkness, and wrenching my
ankles painfully in deep ruts.
It was considerably after ten
o'clock when we emerged upon an open
plateau, and a glimmer of stars over
head revealed to me afar off the silver
thread Of the great river. Pete
stopped the straining mule, a feat not
at all difficult of accomplishment, the
animals sides rising and falling as he
wheezed for breath, and came back
to where l stood, staring about at the
dimly perceived objects in the fore
ground.
"Out dar am de Beaucaire place."
he announced, as soon as he could dis
tinguish my presence, waving his arm
to indicate the direction. "An' /

quite likely, should say. And you
could take boat from here to his
placer"
"Sure, the darkest night yer ever
see."
This knowledge greatly simplified
matters. If there was already in OPP
Grafton an organized scheme by means
of which fugitives from this side of
the great river were taken through to
Canada, protected and assisted along
the way, then all we would be required
to do in this case would be to safely
convey the unfortunate Rene and her
mother in Pete's boat up the river,
Of this Amos Shrunk. Undoubtedly he
could be trusted to see to it that they
were promptly forwarded to others,
fanatics like himself. who would
swiftly pass them along at night
across the Illinois prairies, until be-
yond all danger of pursuit. The dis
lance to the mouth of the Illinois
could not be far, surely not to exceed
fifty miles as the river ran. 1t ought
not to prove difficult to battle Kirby
for that short distance, and then we
would be free to return, and no one
could prove any charge against us.
The only important fact fronting us
was that we must act quickly, before
Kirby and his aides, armed with legal
authority, could return-this very
night.
"Pete," I said shortly, my tone un-
consciously one of authority, ''we must
be out of here before daylight, and
safely hidden somewhere up the river.
The first thing to be done, and the
hardest. is to explain to those women
the situation, and persuade them to
accompany us. They may not believe
my story; that was why was so anx-
ious to have Haines go to the house.
They would have confidence In him.

"Well, we can only try our best.

can ride to Beaucaire, and by means
of which we can bring the women

He pointed out the path, with the
directions necessary, and disappeared,
while returned to the cabin, dragged
blanket from off the bed, and filled
it with whatever miscellaneous ar
ticles of food l was able to discover
about the place. My wound, now that
I was busily engaged, troubled ne
very little, and l easily transported
this stock of provisions to the river
bank, and safely slowed them away in
the boat found there. / returned to
discover the mule and cart ready, and
few moments later we were creaking
slowly along gloomy wood road, jolt
,ng over the stumps, with Pete walk
ing beside the animals head, whisper
ing encouragement into the Tapping
ear. The great adventure had begun.

WHAT'S THE TROUBLE
IN THE ]. S. ARMY?
Complaints Officers and Prvates Against the Wes Point
Clique" Are to Be Aired When the Congressional
Investigation Gets Under Way in Earnest


| Literally hundreds of thousands OF
officers and men will bring their griev-
ances home with them, and when they
get into civilian life again, where they
can't be reached by army court mar
tials, they will begin airing these
grievances.
I predict the greatest "knockfest"
America has ever heard.
After listening to the complaints of
hundreds of officers and men, l would
say that the greatest cause of their
irritation was the alleged manner in
which they were treated by the ''regu-
lar army"
Those making the complaints are,
almost without exception, men who
went into the service after America
declared war on Germany in April,
1917, and national guard officers and
men.
1.-THE national guard outfits" ma
tional guard colonel said to me just
before | sailed for home, "have been
treated outrageously in this war.
haven't the slightest doubt in my own
mind that the regular army crowd, at
the very outset, started in to destroy
our national guard.
even while national guard organi-
cations were in the American training
camps, hundreds Of the high officers
were separated from their commands
and the places given to regular army
officers who thereby got higher ranks.
"Then after we got to France they
continued their raids of the guard and
no guard officer knew what day his
head would fall and he would be hu-
inflated and sent to the rear. In
variably, the vacancies would be filled
by regular army officers.
"They have succeeded in obliterating
our Identities by transferring our Off
GERS to other outfits and sending in
new officers and when our men went
to hospitals they seldom got back TO
us, their places being filled by selec-
tive drafts or by militiamen from
other states.
THE first thing I'm going to do
when | get out Of the service is to
begin telling all about the high hand
ed methods of the regular army clique
that ran things"
Another complaint | often heard
was that the West Pointer bossed the

An honest congressional investiga-

and how many of them actually led
