CHAPTER vi
The Mask is propned.


1t was after the heat of that same
day that two horsemen rode out from
a courtyard of the Faubourg st. Marie
upon the Tchoupitoulas road.
Count de Almonaster breathed re-
lief when the river willows hid them
and the steeds broke into a gallon.
MY blacks are waiting at the ferry"
he murmured; now, Captain Sazarac,
did the pla.nsmen teach you to ride?
Come, then!" And the guest led the
way in cloud of dust. A half-dozen
slaves uprose as the two dashed over
the levee, dismounted and flung rein
to the grooms. Then the scow-boat
swung off on the muddy Mississippi,
propelled by the naked-backed oars

stately facades of plantation homes
among great oaks. Beyond this,

Several Premiers Present.
Several premiers of the federated
states took part IN the conference, at
which it ~as also decided to leave the
determination of the future status of
the Rhenish railroads to the Rhine

Intention on the part of the Stresemann
government to permit an autonomous
Rhenish republic, and states that any
change in the relation of the Rhine
land with the rest of Germany must
be accomplished through conct:tu-

Washington.-The United States
government will not join in any pro-
test by the allied governments against
the return to Germany of the Hohen-

German Republic Banishes
General Eric LudendOrff

Berlin.-Gen. Eric Ludendorff must
leave Germany and remain out of the
country until he receives permission
to return. He has agreed to do this In
exchange for his liberty and assur-
ance that no more severe punishment
will be visited upon him. This in
formation came from authoritative
official sources. Whatever else fate
may hold in store for Germany, the
country at least will be rid of the
man who probably more than any
other single individual has been a
source of conspiracy and intrigue
against the republic ever since its es-
adjustment.
