"Zat Is Ze Private Stock" He snarIed,

he snarled. "He is not for sale. am

Shottle grasped Drace's arm and
drew him away. A cart had halted
outside. and as they entered their cab
they saw the carter shouldering the
case Of wine and bearing toward his
vehicle.
AS they turned the corner, deep
throated blast from the Bumblebee
sounded a warning. Shottle turned
upon the disappointed Drace with n
gleeful countenance. Master" he
said, 'T'll thank you for that money
again. I've found him."
Found him." exclaimed Drace.
"How?"
THAT case of wine was addressed to

Stepho on the Bumblebee. And so
are we.'
An hour later Drace sat with Shot

the sudden shifting of his quest.

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 Stepho, had indeed
met him once, and he promised to
make discreet inquiries that should
without fail disclose the creoles
whereabouts.
Hardly had Drace reached his room,
however before q visitor was shown
ina visitor who introduced himself
as an agent of the New Orleans po-
lice department and who had most
distressing communication to make:
1t was known that Mr.. Drace and
his friend had taken part in recent
riot. Mr.. Drace 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 if Mr.. Drace and his
friend failed to register among the
passengers.
With scarcely twelve hours left in
which to find Stepho la Vitte. Drace
paced the streets in an agony of anx-
iety, making a hundred plans to find
Stepho or to outwit the New Orleans
officials and prolong his stay, but all
in vain.
Colonel Josh did not appear, but he
seemed to have embarked upon the
quest, for when the distracted Drace
called at his quarters about midnight
the old fellow was still absent. Dawn
brought Drace back again, for all his
other endeavOrs had been unsuccess
full, and but two hours remained before
the Bumblebee's departure.
Routed out of bed, the Colonel kept
Drace waiting full half hour before
he put in an appearance. Then, how.
ever, he offered a faint ray of. hope.
He had discovered that certain
Frenchman, a wine dealer, living at
an address he produced scrawled on
paper, was reported to be an intimate
of Stepho. Possibly from him Mr..
Drace might
Drace hurriedly explained the de-
cree which had banished him; then he
presented" the Colonel with check
on account, asked him to convey his
respects to Miss Lucy and took his
departure.
On his way to the Frenchman's he
stopped at the hotel, where he found
Shottle strapping up their baggage
and police official paying an informal
but suggestive call. An hours grace
remained. Drace paid his score at the
desk. sent his baggage to the boat and
then, summoning a cab, drove off with
Shottle to the house of the French
man. It proved TO be mean abode,
both wineshop and dwelling. Drace
knocked eagerly. A small man, his
mustache dyed, came 10 the door,
blinking. --
