CHAPTER v

An hour later Drace and Shottle re-
turned to their hotel after a cere-
monious visit with Colonel Josh. The
Colonel knew of Stephoe had indeed
met him once, and he promised to
make discreet inquiries that should
without fail disclose the creole's
whereabouts.
Hardly had brace reached his room,
however, before q visitor was shown
in--a visitor who introduced himself
as an agent of the New Orleans po-
lice department and who had a most
distressing communication to make:

his friend had taken part in a recent
riot. Mr.. brace was one of the lead
ers. had severely wounded more than
one man, and without cause. being
from the North, Just arrived. and hav-
ing no possible interest in the city.
However, he was to be treated with
more of lenity than would rhyme with
his crime, for instead of punishment
he was only to be banished, along with
his friend. A steamboat, the Bum.
blebee, bound northward. would leave
next morning. The chief of police
would grieve II Mr.. brace and his
friend failed to register among the
passengers.
