Gramont had no difficulty in locat-
ing the Ledanois land, and he found
that II was by no means In the swamp,
A part of It, lying closer TO Houma,
had been sold and was now included
In the new oil district; it was this por-
tion which Joseph Maillard had sold
off.
The remainder, and the largest por-
ton, lay north of Paradis and ran
along the west bank of the bayou for
half q mile. A long-abandoned farm
II was high ground. with the timber
well cleared off and excellently 10
Gated: but tenants were hard to get
and shiftless when obtained, so that
the place had not been farmed for the
last five years or more. After getting
these facts, Gramont consulted with
Hammond
"We'd better buy some grub here In
town and arrange to stay couple Of
nights on the farm, If necessary" he
said. "There are some buildings there
so wen find shelter. Along the bayou
are summer cottages-I believe some
Of them rather pretentious places
and we ought to find the road pretty
decent. It's only three or four miles
out of town"
With some provisions piled in the
car, they set forth. The road wound
along the bayou side, past ancient
'Cajun farms and the squat homes OF
hnd
placed camps and summer cottages
nesting amid groups Of huge oaks and
cypress, whose fronds Of silver-gray
moss hung in dropping clusters like
pale and ghostly shrouds.
Watching the road closely, Grainont
suddenly found the landmarks that
mad been described to him, and or.
6ered Hammond to stop and turn Iu
at a gap In the fence which had once
been an entrance gate.
Here we arel Those are the build
ings off to the right. Whew l should
say it had been abandoned Nothing
much left but ruins. Go aheadT
Before them, as they drove in from
the road by a grass-covered drive,
showed a house, shed, and barn amid
a cluster of towering trees. Indeed,
trees were everywhere about the farm,
which had grown up in a regular sap
ling forest. The buildings were in
a ruinous state-clapboard hanging
loosely, roofs DOTTED by gaping holes,
doors and windows long since gone.
Leaving the car, Gramont, followed
by the chauffeur, went to the front
doorway and surveyed the wreckage
inside.
what do you say, Hammond? Think
we can stop here. or go back to the

Hammond pointed to a wide fire

"I can get this shack cleaned out In
about half an hour-this one room,
anyhow. When we get fire goin' in
there, and board up the windows and
doors. we ought to be comfortable

Hammond grinned widely.

Gramont left the house, and headed
down toward the bayou shore.
He took a letter from his pocket,
opened it, and glanced over 1t anew. 1t
was an old letter, one written him
nearly two years previously by Lucie
Ledanois. 1t had been written mere
ly In the endeavor to distract the
thoughts of a wounded soldier, to
bring his mind to Louisiana, away

| the letter Lucie had described some of
| the more interesting features of Bayou
| Terrebonne-the oyster and shrimp

lagos along the gulf, the far-spread
cypress swamps; the bubbling foun-
tains, natural curiosides, that broke
up through the streams and bayous of
| the whole wide parish-fountains that
were caused by gas seeping up from
the earth's interior, and breaking
through.
Gramont knew that plans were al
ready afoot to tap this field of natural
gas and pipe 1t to New Orleans Oh

wasn't the Masquer! D-n II, Fell,
this thing has my goat !"
"What's Maillards story?" struck in
Hen Chacherre.
"He denies the whole thing" said
the worried chief. According to his
story, which sounded straight the way
he tells it, he meant to pun off the
Joke on his friends and was dressing
In the Nasquer's costume when he
heard the shots. He claims that the
shots startled him and made him
change back. He swears that he had
not entered the other room at all. ex-
cept in his masquerade clothes He
says the murderer must have been the
real Masquer. It's likely enough, be-
cause all young Maillard's crowd knew
about the party that was to be held
In that room during the Comus ball"
"No matter" said Fell, coldly.
Chief, this is an open and shut case;
the boy was bound to lie That he
killed his father was an accident OF

"No!" Fell spoke quietly. The
original Masquer was another person
and had nothing to do with the pres
ent case. This information is oonfiden-
