(Continued from last issue) You mean old Slithers?” “fhat’s the man. What's become of him?” “Nothin’. And I reckon he's playin® right now down at Cadman’s joint, that ought to be wiped off the earth. Want him?” “Need . him, Tobias. after him.” Old Slitliers, nme with his home-made fiddle. Send a boy bald and ~wrinkled, The ‘Old. . Slithers, “Came With His Home-Made Fiddle. Bald and Wrinkled, General ‘greeted him warmly, intro- duced him-to Drace; and ‘the most comfortable chair In the house provid- ed ‘him; he sat down to play the fa- mous -old ‘tune and fo recite the di- alogue, improvising where his memory failed hini. The General roared his delight, said that ke would go on the stand to swear ngalmt Sour Socrates in favor of the fiddler's dinlogue. “Tobe,” he shouted, “fetch in the buck-and-wing dancers.” Tobe went to the door, yelled as if calling hogs; and in came two big ne- groes, a throng of idlers following them, At it they went, shaking the house, and when weariness threatened to seize them, for refreshment they drew off, ‘and leaping, butted their heads together like goats. After a time the General gave them n dollar apiece, ‘dismissed them—gave the fiddler five, with an erder to play that old tune again, Old Tobe was now lighting his evenlng lamps. The General called to him. . “Toby, what have you for supper?’ ! The old fellow closed one eye. “*What have I got? he says. Ah, that’s it. An’ I'll tell you. I've got hoé-cake and roasted doves.” “No, you don't mean it!” “Hoe-cake and roasted doves, I said.” ‘“Good, by Gldeon’s Band. Fetch us, Tobigs. And mark you, along with it all bring about a trowel full of that wild plum jelly. { The doves and the strips of bacon and the hoe-cake and the jelly came on, and arising the General saluted the repast. “TFalk about quail! Quall, sir, is in- sipld, white, dry and tasteless com- pared with the dark richness of the dove. And look at this bread, made of mealed pearl. You never tasted any bacon like that, my son, fed on acorns showered down from Olympus. . The ‘sweet of the night!” They had finished the meal and were sitting back, smoking, sipping wine, when Drace noticed a sudden change in the General’s countenance, a tight- ening, a grimness; and turning about, he saw standing against the wall a strange figure—a man not tall, but road of _shoulder, his body sloping [ithely down to feet expressively of Nnawy xestlessness.. His mass of hair Avas like tangled flax straw, dark and yer. gray. Like the bristles of a wild ‘hoar, his short mustache stuck out and his heavy evebrows looked like great hairy caterpillgrs: ‘rawling across his dower forehead. Jur his dress there was & wild touch, a barbaric aspect. Slowly he came forward. + “This is General Bethpage, heh?” “That is my name, yes. What do you want with me?” “Whut I want; heh? T come to ’pol- ogize to think them mule be mine.” < *Well, go on away. I don’t want any apology from you.” “What! If. General Andrew Jack- son should arise out of his grave and tell me that, do you know what I would to him?” “You would beg hees pardon as you will mine, heh?” “I would say to him as I now say to vou: You are an infamous liar.” Drace sprang between them. and seized the man by the wrist; a dirk fell from his hand. “Stand back, General,” cried Drace. “There is not going to be a fight here. Stand Tobe !” The dark-faced man looked Drace in the eye. “Monsieur was ver’ strong. see him some other day.” the fellow made off. who the devil was that?” nsked Drace. “That, my dear Drace,” replied the General, “was the fellow you asked about the other day—Stepho la Vitte.” To Drace this encounter with Stepho la Vitte, the father of the girl he loved—and the outlaw upon whom he had sworn to wreak vengeance—was disturbing indeed. The General, how- ever, was not at all upset by the fact that he had been barely saved .from Stepho’s Knife, and when a short time later they boarded the Bumblebee on their return, he gripped \h\jor Pewitt's hand and said: (Continued in Next Issue) TENSTRIKE The C.
