All the types the period are present and the float- palace ja distinguished by merriment, déncing and gallantry. There are the stomiary drinking and gambling also. ‘Drace, a young northern man, is gn Bis way south on a mission of revenge.

No, she was not the thrilling barbar- jap, but Drace swallowed his disap- pointment dry, like a swamp man tak- fng quinine. Shottle might have re- flected that never before had his kins- woman been so glad to see him. On his arm she hung as she cooced, but her eyes were on Drace, and he lls- tened, not’to her words, but to the mausie of her accent, soft as the notes of a dove. Like a frost-bitten Shang- Rhai, the Colonel stood first on one foot snd then on the other. Drace politely asked Miss Lucy to dance with him, “8he Takes to Him Like a Duck to Water,” . Said the Slave, Looking After His Master and His Third Cousin. and the Colonel dropped onto a chalr. Shottle sat beside him. © “She takes to him like a duck to water,” sald the slave, looking after his master and his third cousin. The Colonel ‘sighed. “Liberty Shot- tle,” he said, “I ara going to tell you something.” ) “Out_with 1t “It.is. not & matter to be spoken of 8o lightly, sin™ “All right ; go ehead.” - “Liberty Shottle, it is this: I am deeply In love with yorte cousin, ‘and before the dawn of another day I shall pop the question to hen” “Pop the deuce! Lemnd me ten dol- lars.” _"“You shock me, sir.” “Tell you what I} do,” persisted Shottle. “Let me have ten, and I'll make her a speech in your favor that will kink her hair.” “Shottle!” “'And I can do it, They've got my speech on the Perigean Age hung up right now at the walversity. The gov- ernor of North Larolina sald to the governor of Sow.h Carolina, just after making his higioric remark about its Béing & long tiyie between drinks, .that it was the mgst powerful speech he ever hepfd.” The Colonal scowled, and swore his refusal to guter into any - financial trandaction fnvolving his heart; and Shottle, retlizing that his efforts were valn, sank down Into melancholy si- lence. Migs Lucy, meanwhile, was in- troducing Drace to some of her friends, not to young women, but to men and 10 ladi#s well advanced along the path. Drace soon realized that this society was far from the caricature that Shot- tle and Colonel Josh might reflect ; for the miost’ part it wag composed of ladies of ‘exquisite refinement, and men strong in the dignity of medicine or the law. "You have notjchosen an opportune fime to visit New_ Orleans,” an . old I1LLUSTRATED , BY RH.LIVINGSTONE | Judge Temarked to Drace. ~ “We are forced to live under the infamy of & carpetbag government, sir. Political scoundrels, who in the North could Dever attain to even the meanest of- fice, come down here where we are distranchised and elect themselves leg- islators, governors—representatives of parishes that they have never seen. Heavy taxes are levied, and they pocket the money. The governor was not elected, but named by a gang of freebooters. The real citizens of the state have no vote. Their former slaves and the crooks who now man- age them control the ballot-box. This 1s the true state of affairs. Wait till you see New Orleans, sir.” This talk was too serlous for Miss Lucy. She plucked Drace away to walk with her, and she hung laughing on his arm as everywhere his eyes searched for the girl with the roses in vain! And presently he excused him- self and went disconsolately to bed. CHAPTER 11l Next day the Leona reached New Orleans. To Drace his first look into the countenance of the famous old city was a disappointment; it had not the quick throb; its pulse was slow and rhythmic. The levee was too broad and diffuse to appear active. The buildings looked mean and low. Ro- mance and history had painted for him a plicture too lively to color. But soon the charm of this half-lazy delta life |. began to reveal itself to him. The town was ruled like a true French city, it sang. Paris minuetted in the terror of the Revolution, and her youngest, daughter in America, singed with powder, and with bloodstuins on her dainty feet, danced to the music of her owfi improvised gayety. Drace saw the carpetbag governor driving through the street, surrounded by an escort of black and mulatto cavalry. From a’ balcony came a gunshot, and an enor- mous negro in-white gloves, sitting beside his peiftical master, tumbled out upon the ground but the carriage did not halt in its speed, and the hoofs of the cavalry beat upon the murdered wretch. In a doorway an old man sat fiddling for his grandchildren to dance on the flagstones. “Oh, you'll find drama enough here that hasn't been rehearsed,” sald Shottle as they turned toward the old St. Charles. “They appear to have set the stage for us.” Drace answered him, wonder- ing if ever again he should find the girl with the torch of roses. In connecting rooms and amidst the luxury of old French furnishings they were quartered. Leaving Drace writing a letter, Shot- tle went out, but he soon.returned with more of light than usually beamed from the sad stretch of his counte- nance. “Well, sir,” he cried with astonish- ing enthusiasm, “I want to tell you that life 1s not composed entirely of ingratitude. Last year when I was down here I saw an old fellow about to get into trouble with a Mexican roustabout on the levee. I wasn’t in any particular hurry, so I stopped, took up ‘a plece of scantling and knocked the Mexican down. It was no particular trouble on my part, but the old man took it as a favor and urged me to eat dinner with him, which I a14, belng broke at the time. Now ‘ what does he do? I met him out there, and he gives me two tickets for the French ball at the St. Louls tonight.” “All right; we'll take it In.” “I should say we will! Why, there's Hkely to be a half dozen duels ar- ranged for. We can see them burst- ing into bloom. But you'll have to liven up, you know. You are just a trifle stern, it strikes me. There is too much of—of your missicn showing fn your faca. I don’t know of any- thing better calculated to correct it than an hour at-the roulette wheel. Suppose we go over and give it a whirl.” “Hope springs Infernal in’ the human breast,® Drace. paraphrased’ the poet. “Just #s welt.curb yourself, old fel- | - low.

Invited to enter, he came in with a sweeping bow, his beard and mustache wased, his hair darkened with dye, giving to it a tinge of blue. He bore, and with ceremonlous hesitancy, an invitation: from Miss Lucy. She was at the delightful old home of & rela- tive where choice guests would as- semble that evening to hear Prof. L. Bannock Pettigrew read a paper on the origin and character of the an- cient_Scythians. & + (Continued in Next issue) SUBSCRIBE FOR THE PIONEER .
