SYNOPSIS

CHAPTER 1.-The time is the late eos
or early '70s and the scene a steamboat
on the Mississippi river. All the types
of the period are present and the float
ing palace is distinguished by merriment,
dancing and gallantry. There are the
customary drinking and gambling also.
Virgil Drace, young northern man, is
He meets an eccentric character in the
person Of one Liberty Shottle, who is
constantly tempting the goddess of
chance. They form singular compact.
CHAPTER n.-Drace gets his mind off
his mission by entering into deck sports
in which he exhibits an unusual athletic
prowess Liberty Shottle is again un-
lucky at cards and attempts financial
negotiation with Drace. The latter, see
ing an opportunity to use Shottle, con-
fides to him that his mission is to find
who had murdered Braces father. 1t is
his determination announced to his new
chum, to hang La Vitte as high as
Hannah. Drace has become enamored
of a mysterious beauty aboard the boat
CHAPTER III.-The steamer reaches

accompany him to the affair. The young
men attend and Drace unexpectedly meets
the girl who had fired his heart aboard
the steamer. She is accompanied by one
Boyce, whose proprietary interest indi-

Kfend failed to register among the
passengers.
With scarcely twelve hours left in
which to find Stepho la Vitte, brace
paced the streets in an agony of anx-
iety, making 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 BRACE 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
BRACE waiting a 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..
BRACE might
Drace hurriedly explained the de-
cree which had ,banished him; then he
presented the Colonel with a 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. brace paid his score at the
desk, sent his baggage to the boat and
then, summoning cab, drove off with
Shottle to the house of the French
man. 1t proved to be a mean abode,
both wineshop and dwelling. brace
knocked eagerly. A small man, his
mustache dyed, came to the door,
blinking.
81 beg your pardon, sir, but l am a
friend Of Mr.. la Vitte, and"
Pardon, monsieur, but you do not
look like him, re friend"

man, "you know he gone-to Europe,

brace was about to abandon the man
in despair when Shottle, who had been
staring at q case of wine which stood
by the door ticketed and sealed for
shipment, suddenly Interrupted.
"Ah," he cried, "can this be the

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 creole's
whereabouts.
Hardly had BRACE reached his room,
however, before G visitor was shoYn
ina visitor who introduced himself
as an agent Of the New Orleans po-
lice department and who had a most
distressing communication 10 make:

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

"Yassuh,' he said, when Drace had
warmed him with greenback, "I
reckon dey done moved away. There
was er kind of rumpus last night. And
I reckon they-all thought it wasn't no
place fob dem no mo-; dey lef' mighty
sudden-like, uhly dis mawnin'."
And that was all brace could learn !;
no one in the vicinity would admit
that they knew them or their destina-
ton. Disliking to call too much at
tention to himself, BRACE walked away
heavy-hearted. For long time he
wandered the streets. He came to the
levee, and the French market. He
went into the old st. Louis cemetery,
and looked upon the novel sight of
bodies sepulchered in wall with
doors like a furnace. These compart-
ments, he learned, were rented by the
month to the poor; and a short tenan-
try it was for many son and daugh-
ter of penuTy answering Eternity S
call, for when the grim agent failed
to collect the pittance promised by
sorrow, the shrouded renter was evict-
ed-an old Spanish custom, Drace was
told.
Recalled by these grim surroundings
to the purpose that had brought him
to the South, brace now determined
to give himself wholly to his quest for
Stepho la Vitte. He returned to the
hotel, and found Shottle nervous in a
cloud of smoke. The floor was Gov

stubs of cigars.

Drace was much taken with Haw.
kins, his quiet manner, his athletic
mold, and passed some time with him
in talk, the Major having given to
Hawkins a scheming wink.
The boat was now fiuting her ruffled
way up the river. At a table beneath
a great shaded lamp, Shottle sat, not
alone, not staring into vacancy but in
to the expressionless countenance of
men merciless in vivisection Luck at
first had cajoled him, let him swell
the fifty he had obtained to near five
hundred, but acknowledging swab of
whiskers entangled with him and
leeched him down to twenty-five.
Shottle looked at him, his caterpillar
eyebrows, heard his slight hacking
cough, his request for a glass Of ice
water, and said to himself:
"One Of these days l may have n
chance to set fire to you as l would
any other patch of dead grass"
Slowly and with an economy painful
for him to practice, Shottle with many
ups and downs built up again toward
two hundred; but at length in the aft
ernoon an old citizen who sat high
and who looked like a steer, hooked
him and horned him broke.
Shottle came stumbling over the
doorsill and found Drace in CONVEX
sation with Major Pewitt and William
Hawkins. With a wink the Major
enjoined humorous silence and
mutelys they sat attendant on the los.
cr's mood. Shottle sat down, took out
card, wrote on it, put 1t back into
his pocket, tapped his teeth with the
pencil and smoke.

PREPARING TEA IN JAPAN
Process Is Long and Complicated, and
Involves the Employment Of
Much Labor.

AS soon as possible after being
picked, the tea leaves are placed on a
round tray, with brass wire bottom,
over boiling water. This process of
steaming, which Is completed in half
minute, brings the natural oil to the
surface. The next and principal OPP
Grafton Is firing, which is done on u
wooden frame, with thick japanese pa
per stretched across it, charcoal well
covered with ashes being the fuel EN-
ployed. This first firing Is done at
u temperature of about 12O degrees
Fahrenheit. Meanwhile the leaf is
manipulated for hours by men who roll
1t into balls with the palms of their
hands. The final result Is obtained
when each leaf becomes separately
twisted. and changes color to a dark
olive green. Two more tirings at
lower temperature follow, after which
the leaf is allowed to dry until it be-
comes quite brittle. When the proc
ess is complete the tea is kept strictly
dry, as moisture destroys its aroma.
Tea so made is the genuine Japan tea,
or what is commonly known in Amer.
lea as green tea.'-East and West.

MUSIC THE BEST OF rONIcs
Nothing in the Way Of Medicine Can
30 Effectuaiiy Cure a Nervous
Breakdown

A weil-known doctor says fhere is
but little use in taking so-called "ton-
les" for a rundown" or nervous con-
dition. When one has been overworked
there is nothing better for this than
music. In music We have one of the
finest tonics in the world, and, skill
fully applied, 1t has been known to
work wonders with those suffering
from nervous disorders.
Even the performances given by
amateur societies have been known to
benefit jaded nerves, but the best re-
suits are obtained from high-class in
strumental music played by those who
have wide knowledge Of tone values.
II you are unsteady inclined, don't
imagine because you feel tagged out"
after days work that an hour or two
at the piano is going to be too much
flag"
AS often as not you will find that
you will be materially benefited, not so
much, perhaps, because you have been
playing particularly restful music. but
because the mind has been brought in
to direct contact with diversion.
So If you are feeling depressed and
your nerves jaded, remember that one
of the surest ways of making yourself
fit again is to 60 and hear some good
music. There Is plenty of it about to-
day, and the price of admission is sure
~ worth a week Of sleepless nights.

"Tell II to the Marines"

The body Of men called marines,
SOLDIERS and sailors too" were origi-
nally enlisted for service on board
ship to defend naval officers from the
bluejackets, who In those early days
were generally men of the lowest class
and worst character, who were seized
by the press-gang and bound unwilling
ly to the ships for term of years.
The expression, Tell it to the ma
rines," Is applied sarcastically to the
teller of more than usually unlikely
story, but this arose merely from the
fact that all sailors thought them
selves more shrewd and less easily i'm
posed upon than landlubbers, and the
marine was conveniently handy on
board ship.
