AUTHOR “OF THE “TAPREGNABLE 4, Ain Aree “Why not knock at the door at once and have done with it?” says I. “It would be worth more than your life or mine to do that,” cried he; “all the neighborhood knows it. There's not a.man that would venture in.’ “Then what makes you think that this Grey is there?” “He was two days at an opium den in the Rue d’Oran, which is not a stone's throw off, and was last seen at the cabaret I speak of. He was then with the man who runs the Maison d’Or. Folks knew him from my description of his hat and stick. I guessed at once that I should hear of him in a drug shop. That’s what took me to the Rue d’Oran.”” “You're friends with the woman who runs this beer shop, did you say?” “The best possible, though I wouldn't walk with her in the Bois—not for choice, leastwise.” “Then let’s get up there at once. If Grey {is in the shop the closer the eye we keep on it the better.”* He assented to this, and we went off together in a closed cab. It was then al- most full dusk and threatening for a wet night. In fact, we hadn’t got to the top of the Rue du Faubourg when the rain began to pelt down in earnest, the peo- ple scuttling into the cafes, and the water flooding the gutters. When at last our rickety old cab began to lumber up the slopes to Montmartre, the lamps in the streets were dancing before a stiff west wind, and the sky above us. was black as ink. Where we'd got to I couldn't for the life of me tell, but by and by Jim stopped the driver before a third-rate drinking den, and we stepped out in a dirty street, where the mud was almost up to our ankles. “This is the place,” said he; while it rained so fast that the water began to run off his hat. ‘Jam your tile over your eyes and follow me. You will want a twenty-frane piece to shut the old woman’s mouth; after that it’s easy.” He led the way into a bit of a bar where four or five shabby customers were drini- ing beer and talking to women who matched them down to the ankles. But we weren't there more than a moment, for after a word in French lingo to the chap who served the drink we passed on toas ll parlor which overlooked a l= of a yard. Here a squat little woman, “My nerves twitched like a woman's and Jim was not a whit bette! who didn't appear to have washed her face for a fortnight, was in talk with a girl who had a in her hand—a poor, bespangled, lid-looking wretch, who made her living, I don’t doubt, by capering about the scum in’ the bar. They left off when we came in, and then Jim fell to parleying with the wo- man, and a fine nolse they made of it. She thinks you're a nark,” said he to me in the middie of it, “give us the twenty- franc piece, and see if that will cool her.” I handed him over the money, and they got to work again. This time the woman took it different, and when I'd whispered to him to promise her twenty francs more when we were through, she left off talk- BEGINNING SEPE 7.

Two min- utes after, we weré out in the back yard, and she had left us, fi “Now,” said Jim, “we're the better for wanting her, though she's a wonderful woman when yeh take her right. The fact is, she’s just as crazy as the others about the house yonder, and is half afraid of having anythifig to do with us. But she’s lent me the. steps, and that’s all I care a crack about.” It was ralning-gats and dogs now, and bitter cold, butlife were both excited by what we'd come to do, and didn’t feel it more than the touch of a feather. For my part, I’d thought little of the danger up to that times but when I stood out in that dark yard ‘and looked up to the black shape of a windowless and prison-like house, I must §a¥ that I got a shiver through me.< “Jim,” said I, “two's not many for a job like this. Did you bring your pistol?” : “I did so,” he. whispered, “you don’t find me going far without it in Paris, Will you go first, or shall I?” “You go,” said I, “since you know the way. I'm on your heels—though what you're to see through the wall I'd like to learn.” “There’s a window on the lower story,” cried he, “but keep your mouth shut, and tread light.” Saying this, he went up the steps, and I followed him. I have made it clear, I think, that the cabaret, or beer shop, or whatever you like to call it, stood back to back with the house we'd come to inquire about. There was only a yard and < high wall be- tween them, but at the end of this yard, and jammed up against the wall was a shed for lumber, so built that when you set the steps on its roof you could put your fingers on the top of the bricks above and haul yourself up. It didn't take Jim and I a minute to do this, and once astride the wall we had our first view of the Maison d’Or. I must say, and I always have said, that there was something uncanny in the very look of that house. Its heavy, blackened shape seemed to rise up like the shape of a dead house or a prison, Many of its lower -windows were heavily barred with iron bars. The paved yard around it was reeking with filth and rubbish. No sound, no light came out of it. It was just a great mass of brickwork leoming up in the dark- ness, and I could understand easily enough how all the wild tales about it had come to be told. Sitting there, astride on the wall, and peering at such casements as faced the back of the cabaret, I should not have been a bit surprised if I'd have seen some inhuman thing stalking the yard below me. My heart was in my mouth— my nerves twitched like a woman's. And Jim was not a whit better. “Do you make anything of it?” he whis- pered, after we'd been on the wall a min- ute or two. “The devil a bit,” said I. “It ain’t exactly a palace of varieties, is it?" he continued a bit later, “but Grey’s in there right encugh. It was through that mite of a window on your left that I got a sight of the place last night. There was a light there then. I don’t fancy we'll do much tonight.” “Nor me, either,” said I, for I was right down scared, and that’s the fact of it. “Shall we try again tomorrow night?” says he, and I could see he was in a hurry to be off. “We might as well, for all the good we're doing,” said I, and with that I turned to put my foot on the steps again. A mo- ment later I saw a thing which fairly took my breath away. The window which was dark had sudden- ly become light. A+ man with a lamp in his hand passed it, and, following him with quick steps, was no other than my master, Nicolas Steele. (To be concluded temorrow.) ———— A BIG POKER GAME. The Gambler Met. His Match and Lost His Pile. From the St. Louis’ Republic. Speaking of gambling on the Missourt, an incident was related to me that trans- pired in the late ‘36's, where three notori- ous gamblers had fleeced a number of pas- sengers on their westward trip. A young husband, with wife and child, and some $,0)0: in cash, was. ooking for investment In some prospective western city. The gamblers inveigied him into a game of euchre, just to pass away the time, which wore ‘sluggishly upon them, and at the proper moment introduced poker, The bogs,shark of the party sat victim, ;while his:-pals. occupied tions at the table. s one of the pals said: we were playing poker, would like to bet on my hand.” “So do I,” said another, “and I'l bet you $10." The money was put up, when the boss discovered re had a pretty fair hand apd came in. Then outside of the game, but a party with the gamblers, saw that the victim held four kings and urged him to bet big. The victim covered the $10 and raised it $1,000, and the boss saw his $1,000 and raised it $2,000, all the young man had. But a sure thing like that wasn't After a for I to be found every day, and the victim saw | the gambler’s $2,000 and called him. Of c the gambler held four aces, and with face as pale as death the victim left the table and sought his wife in the ladies’ cabin, where, putting his arms around her neck, he exclaimed: “We are ruined! I have lost every cent!" The sad scene made an impression upon several who witnessed it, but especially up- on a middle-aged gentleman who had been watching the game and also saw _ the wretchedness of the pair. He walked back to the gamblers, who were getting up from the table preparatory to leaving the boat and catch another one with-a fresh lot of suckers, and said: “Have you quit the game?” “Not yet. Do you wish to play “Certainly. What is the game and limit?” “Peker, without limit.” The gamblers had robbed the passengers out of abont $15,000, and had a stake be- side of something more than that amount. Two or three sames were played to dis- arm their intended victim, and then busi- ness opened up in good shape. The first gambler bet $1,009, the next one ra him $1,000, and the third put up his $2,000. The Stranger saw that and went $10,000 better. The gamblers were elated with the snap, but the two pals quit the game and left the boss and stranger to fight it out, The amble di: T see your $10,000, go you $20,000 better and give you fifteen minutes to call me!” “I don’t need it,” said the stranger, who had sized up the amount the gamblers pos- sessed. “Mr. Clerk, bring out several boxes and pi y e them upon the table. said.he to th Ss ee your y minutes to call me.” The gambler had staked his last dollar and was white and nervous as the young benedict he had skinned less than an hour ore. ‘Lake down the $30,000 and call me, for I have staked all my mone: “No!” said the stranger. “I will show you the same merey you show your vic- tims.” And, looking down the barrel of a hooter, the gambler waived his “rights” under the game according to Hoyle. The boxes of money were returned to the clerk's office, and with the winnings he sought the ladies’ cabin and paid the young wife the $3,000 her jhusband had lost and got his promise to never gamble again. Every loser on the boat had his money back, but the gamblers, and they left at the first landing. Several days afterward the boat landed at an Italian trading post called Robidoux, at the mouth of a small stream named Blacksnake, and the gentleman shook hands with the people he had made happy, which Included all the passengers and offi- cers besides, and.took his departure, “Captain,” said the grateful young hus- band, “who is that generous gentleman?” “That, sir, is Joseph Rebidoux, Indian trader and owner of nearly all the land you see on this side of the river.” 3 The beautiful city of St. Joseph, with its 100,000 inhabitants today, is old Robidoux, and some people claim that St. Joseph means St. Joseph Robidoux. —_—_+-e-___ A Unique Find.

RAIDING A WAGON TRAIN A Reminiscence of War Times Near Cat- lettis. , A Mosby Raid With Mosby Left Out— Blank Cartridges and Fun. Written for The Evening Star. I was sitting in the office of a down town Rotel one night not long ago, when Gen. Mosby came sauntering in, and in a mo- ment was the center of quite a crowd of friends, for the ex-guerrilla chieftain bas many friends in Washington; and as he stood there smiling, and greeting one after another as they came up, a remark made by an on-looker that “Mosby was charzed with a great many little irregularities that he knew nothing of,” carried me back in recollection to an episode that happened in the winter of 1863-4, over near Catlett Sta- tion, in which Mosby did not figure, though the papers the next day gave a pretty full description of “another raid by Mosby.” The second brigade, second division, cf ithe fifth corps, was encamped that winter along the railroad at Catlett Station, and Mosby's compliments were frequently paid to the different regiments in the shape of a sharp, quick dash through the company streets after midnight, and scattering re- yolver shots as a reminder that the guer- rillas were still doing business. Off to the northwest “of Catlett's was parked the wagon train of the fifth corps, and several months of inactivity had made the trains men and drivers long for a little excite- ment and diversion—so much so that they had organized several little raids, a la Mosby; but they had been given up as im- practicable, because no profit could be real- ized and the fun alone was hardly worth the risk. Raiding a Wagon Train. However, one beautiful moonlight night one of the drivers came back from the sta- tion with the information that a sutler’s train of four wagons was coming up to Catlett’s that night from Stafford—“Will reach Catlett's a little after midnight; let's raid it.” It was the one spark needed to fire the whole crowd, and all jumped at the proposition. Under the leadership of the wagon master—who, by the way, pre- vious to his death, which occurred four years ago, had been for a number of years a prominent business man on 14th street— the men got their horses out, loaded their muskets with blank cartridges, turned their overcoats inside out, and otherwise dis- guised themselves, and started for a point on the wagon road about a mile south of Catlett's, reasoning that they could go through’ the train and get what they wanted, then get out of the way of the troops that the fusillade would be sure to bring down frum the camp. Each one of the raiders cariied a two-bushel bag for piunder, and one of them, Charley Sigour- ney, rode a mule which was inclined to be obstinate. Plan of Attack. “We will hide ourselves in the bushes at the edge of the road,” said the wagon- master; “then at the command I want you to fire up in the air. The drivers will jump and run and we'll go through the wagons in short order. For fear that there might be a guard with the train, the raiders retained their ats in the saddles until their fire should seare the drivers away, and for an hour they sat in silence, waiting for signs of the sutler's wagons, which finally began rumbling away to the south. At length the wagon train was abreast the bushes hiding the raiders, and the drivers were startled by the commahd to “halt and su render,” and At the same moment a_yolle: rang out on the still night air. Evel thing turned out just as the wagonmaster had predicted, and the drivers ran like hares toward the station and gave the alarm. But the raiding party was short ore man, When the volley was fired that perverse mele turred end-fore and shot out of the bushes, taking Charley Sigourney up over the knoll toward a clump of trees, where a low branch scraped him off the mule’s back and left him lying on his back on the ground. The men soon had their bags pretty well filled with the good thi generally kept in a weil-regulated suth store, but Charley got one small cheese and a good-sized package that was evi- dently sdone up with considerable care, and with these in his bag he hurried off the field, for the trcops from Catlett could coming on the double-quick, d_by the drivers and hurried by the i of the fusillade, but too late to cap- ture the midnight marauders. The next day the Washington Chronicle 1 account of Mosby's on the sutler’s train. On taking an ount of stock in the wagon train camp it was found that Charley's carefully done- | up package contained a complete new uni- form, manufactured by a Washington tail- or, fora major in the tenth United States infantry, whose regiment was encamped near the station, and if the major is still iiving this sketch may furnish him the first inkling that his fine new uniform was buried deep in the ground, where the fifth corps wagon train was parked in the win- ter of 1863-4. ° eee E Why He Was Silent. A physician describes In the Atlanta Journal a remarkable case of a patient’s confidence in his physician: When I was a student in Philadelphia I had a patient, an Irishman, with a broken leg. When the plaster bandage was re- moved and a lighter one put in its place, I noticed that one of the pins went in with difficulty, and I could not understand it, A week afterward in removing this pin I found it had stuck hard and fast, and I was forced to remove it with the forceps. What was my astonishment, on making an examination, to find that the pin had been run through the skin twice instead of threugh the cloth. “Why, Pat,” said I, “didn't you know t that pin was sticking in you?” fo be shure I did,” replied Pat, “but I wed your business, so I hilt my tong Both the method and results when Syrup of Figs is taken; it is pleasant and refreshing to the taste, and acts gently yet promptly on the Kidneys, Liver and Bowels, cleanses the sys- tem effectually, dispels colds, head- aches and fevers and cures habitual constipation, Syrup of Figs is the only remedy of its kind ever pro- duced, pleasing to the taste and ao- ceptable to the stomach, prompt in its action and truly beneficial in its effects, prepared only from the most healthy and agreeable substances, its many excellent qualities commend it to all and have made it the most popular remedy known.

From the Philadelphia Record. There are many ways of earning a living in this big city. Not very long ago some wideawake woman hit upon a new idea, which proved co successful that not less then a dozen others have followed her lead, and are making wages far in excess of the best paid female workers in the ordinary branches of business. These women make house-to-house can- vasses in different sections of the city, chiefly among the houses. of the medium poorer classes, and sell orders for goods on a half dozen or move of the large retail dry goods and general furnishing hous They charge 2 commission on the orde1 and, as an inducement, their patrons pay for the goods on iistallments. The vomen have agreements with the houses on which they sell orders for goods for a certain commission on the sales, and their orders are held as good as cash, and hon- ored as such. : They find ready customers among the large class of people to whom it is @ con- venience or advantage to make purchases in installments. The customers gladly pay the commission charged in exchange for the installment privilege, and the business firms profit in the increased business di- verted to their stores. The double com- mission received by the women amounts to a handsome profit on every sale. They assume the risk, of course, of de- faults in the payments of their customers, but it is very rare that they are subject to losses of this kind. Since engaging in the business they have developed a regular trade, and, by the exercise of judgment in soliciting new customers, reduce the risk cf loss to a minimum. Women are peculiarly adapted for this ress, They deal altogether with cus- tomers of their own sex, work during their own time, and are their own “bosses.” It is net unlikely that the idea may be enlarged upon in time to come by business houses willing to adopt such methods to increase their trade. ——_—__+e+—__ The Composite New Woman.’ From the Boston Trascript. ‘Phe “new woman” has been reduced to the composite. The New York Sunday World has taken what it considers the twelve “most advanced women of the day” and made of them a composite photograph. The World selects Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B, Anthony, Frances BE. Willard, Mrs. E. B. Grannis, Lady Henry Somerset, Mrs. Annie Besant, Rev. Anna Shaw, Mrs. Belva A. Lockwood, Mrs. Mary E.

It is an intellectual face and—it is said with some regret—pos- sibly a stern, unyielding face. Yet it is a face that indicates character and progres- sion.” The predominant feature is the mouth, which is a sad, fixed mouth. Jn fact, the face is only saved from acidity by its earnestness.

In many cases their chief ingredient is morphine, opium, cocaine or some other equally injurious drug having a tendency to deaden pain. The habit of taking them is ily formed, but almost impossible to shake ‘Women usually begin taking them to re lieve a raging headache and soon resort to the powder to alleviate any little pain or ache they may be subjected to, and finaily like the mor- phine or opium fiend, get into the habit of taking them regularly, imagining that they are in pain if they happen to miss their regular dose.” In nine cases out of ten, the trouble is in the stomach and liver.
