CHAPTER I-The time Is the late '60s
or early '70s and the scene a steamboat
on the Mississippi river. All the types
of the period are present and the floats
ing palace is distinguished by merriment,
dancing and gallantry. There are the
customary drinking and gambling also.
Virgil Drace, a young northern man. Is
on his way south on a mission of revenge.
He meets an eccentric character in the
person of one Liberty Shottle, who is
constantly tempting the goddess of
chance. They form a singular compact.
CHAFTSSii, IT. Drace gets nis mina oil
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 a financial
negotiation with Drace. The latter, see
ing an opportunity to use Shottle, con
fides to him that his mission Is to find
a certain ex-guerrilla, Stepho la Vitte,
' who had murdered Drace's father. It is
his determination announced to his new
chum, to hang La Vifte as hi?h as
Haman. Drace has become enamored
of a mysterious beauty aboard the boat
CHAPTER HI. The steamer reaches
New Orleans, at that time in the some
what turbulent throes of carpetbag gov
ernment Shottle becomes possessed of
two tickets for the French ball, a great
society event, and proposes that Drace
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
cates that he Is her fiance. Through
stratagem Shottle leams that the name
of the girl is Nadine la Vltte and that
her companion of the evening Is the man
who is seeking to marry her.
CHAPTER IV. Drace -passes an uneasy
night torn by the suspicion that Nadine
is the daughter of old Stepho la Vitte,
now an admitted outlaw. Now, more
than ever, is he resolved to find where
the girl lives and to find Stepho. Drace
and Shottle begin a search of the city.
In one of their nocturnal pilgrimages
they come upon a mob intent upon hang
ing a poor wretch from the limb of a
tree. It Is a typical carpetbag execution
and aroused the resentment or an oppos
ing mob of citizens. Drace takes a hand
In the fight which starts and Is Instru
mental in preventing the execution. From
a window opposite the scene, he catches
a glimpse of one he is sure is Nadine.
CHAPTER V. The escapade, the fight,
the interference with the execution get
Drace and Shottle Into bad standing with
the authorities, but Instead of punish
ment are given until the next day to
board a steamer bound north. Returning
to the house where he thought he had
glimpsed the girl, Drace finds the place
abandoned. Through Colonel Josh, an
emissary employed at the suggestion of
Shottle, he gets a faint clue In the dis
covery that a certain Frenchman, a wine
dealer. Is reported to be an intimate of
Stepho la Vitte. There Is only a short
time before the departure of the steamer
when Drace and Shottle go to call on
the Frenchman. The latter Is too keen
to be Inveigled Into giving up any Infor
mation, but Shottle, spying around among
the casks and bottles, especially the ar
ticles ma.V up for shipment, makes an
Important discovery. So as not to arouse
the suspicions of the Frenchman, he
casually rji-aws Drace away from the
place and onto the steamer. On board
he Informs Drace that one of the cases
was addressed to Stepho la Vitte at Far
num'B Landing. Mississippi. It Is the next
stop below Bethpaere's Landing and Col
onel Bethpage is Liberty Shottle's uncle.
CHAPTER VI. Drace and Shottle are
received with genuine hospitality by
Colonel Bethpage and find the planta
tion and its environs delightful. After
a brief stay and a characteristic financial
transaction with the colonel, Shottle goes
awav ostensibly on a business trip to
Vicksburg, but in reality to seek his
favorite form of amusement. Drace
makes the - plantation his headquarters
. and from pieces of information gathered
from various sources, becomes convinced
that La Vitte has a haunt in a great
wood of cypress and a tangle of salt
cedar, a sort of everglades, a marsh with
hundreds of knoll islands rising here and
there among the bayous. A shrewcrold
negro had told him that the outlaw lived
in a house built of periwinkle sheila.'
Day after day Drace takes a canoe and
goes farther and farther into the moss
hanging wilds. At his feet lies a rope, one
end of it a hangman's noose.
CHAPTER VII. Drace penetrates In
to the wilderness, discovers Periwinkle
House and finds Nadine alone. She Is
much alarmed and warns him her father
will shoot him. He makes love to her and
to get him to go she agrees to meet him
asrain the following Thursday. On his
way .home Drace is accosted by three
men who ask to be set across the river.
Thej overpower him and bind him with
ropes. Led by Tony they throw Drace
into an old cabin. Tony taunts Drace
and avows his love for Nadine, while
the others collect fuel. Tony sets fire
to the cabin and the three go off laugh
ing. And then his bonds are cut and
with Nadine's help he gets safely out
She tells him how she was led to come
to his rescue.
CHAPTER VIII
It was a long time before Drace
found a boat to set him over to the
opposite shore. It was so late when
he reached the Bethpage place that he
did not go. up to his room. The house
was so quiet, the hounds themselves
asleep, that he stole Into the garden
to pass the remainder of the night on
a couch In the summer house. The air
was heavy with roses breathing in
through the lattice, and as he straight
ened out, grateful for repose, this
thought came to him :
"Pale they call death, but to me it
will ever be red. And I have looked
Into Its red countenance, and was not
afraid. I thank God that He gave me
that strength. . . But what a
melodrama !"
At the breakfast table, Tycle, with
mother tenderness, upbraided Drace
for sleeping out for fear of arousing
the house. Afterward Drace and the
General strolled out under the trees.
"By the way," the General said pres
ently. "I have an engagement to de
liver an address before a teachers',
meeting in Natchez, and I should much
like to have you bear me company.
We can leave this evening on the
Black Hawk and reach there early in
the morning,"
"I'd like very much to go," answered
Drace. "But can we get back before
Thursday?"
"Easily by Wednesday morning..
Anything Important for Thursday?"
"Oh, no. An old fellow down at the
ferry wants me to go fishing with him
Thursday, and I gave him my word
that I'd be on hand. Most remarkable
old man, full of fun; quite a charac
ter." "You must mean old Spence. But
are you sure It is not that pretty
daughter of his that attracts you?
You'llhave to be a. Uttlecareful. my
son. We may associate with men out
of our social - running, but not with
womin.'. . . Ah, Tycle! Mr. Drace
has Just consented to give me his com
pany to Natchez."
The Black Hawk's band played a
welcome, and the captain came down
the plank to conduct the General on
board. From a quiet, lazy and almost
deserted landing the place leaped Into
the full throb of life. Negroes and
shiftless whites came from their hovels
to gaze upon the magic splendor of
this Journeying palace, and the three
shell man stepped ashore to gather up
dollars. .'
Dinner was a stats occasion, and
after it, the ball. Then ineir state
rooms then morning, and Natchez.
The address was to be delivered In
the afternoon, and when the time came
the General led him over to the hall to
hear the speech. Imprisoned him with
out ball in a corner, and there he had
to sit. The address was long, academic
and dull, and the sufferer mused:
"I don't see why Shottle ever called
you a remarkable character."
Everybody came about the General
to take his hand. Young women told
him that they had never been so
thrilled. Drace lied to him, too, swore
him an orator.
"Let us walk off alone,", said the
General.
Slowly they walked at first, but after
a time the old gentleman struck a
brisker pace, toward the River.
"Now, my boy, as we've got through
with those beaters of dust out of old
carpets, w'll have some fun. Old
Colonel Pemherton wanted me to go
home with him, anil he has a delight
ful house, a gracious wife and hand
some daughter, but I had to decline.
I've stood about as much now as I
can. We'll go . down to old Tobe Ma
son's tavern, under the hill. Tobe is
a gentle old fellow, never killed but
three men. One of them shot Tobe's
leg off and now he wears a peg ; and I
want to tell you that when he un
straps It and hops around In a fight,
he's right meddlesome. At a trial In
the courthouse here not long ago, the
Judge issued an order that all deadly
weapons must be left with the deputy
sheriffs at the door and sir, they
made old Tobe take off his wooden
leg." '
The tavern was as tough a place as
river men could make it. Built of logs,
bricks, stone and clapboards, It looked
like an architectural stagger, trying
to climb the hill. In the main room
was the bar. Herein Tobe gave his
famous 'possum feasts and dances,
when the spirit of liquor mounted high
enough to swing its partner off the
ground.-
"Well, I'll be knocked In the head
for a steer !" old Tobe cried out, stump
ing toward the General. "I haven't
seed you since the Elver tuck fire.
Well, well! Thlnkln' about you the
other day. . . . Glad to shake your
hand, Mr. Drace. Set right down."
"Tobe, Tm glad to see you," said the
General. "And fetch us about two
quarts of that summer-grape wine. Let
me tell you about It, Drace. We have
a wild grape here that gets ripe along
In August. It's much larger and Is not
sour like the fox-grape, and Its vine
likes to climb about a sassafras sap
ling. And then you see an umbrella of
grapes. Now don't say a word till
you've had a good taste of It. Tobe
makes It himself, and he'll fetch us
some that's at least twenty-five years
old. Here we are."
The wine was as red as blood, cool
and yet warm. Its flavor was the rip
ened sweetness of the spirit of autumn,
it was as mellow as. the scent of the
apple at harvest time.
"What do you think of It, hey?"
"Uncle Howard, are you sure that
this was not made by Bacchus Instead
of Tobe?"
"Good, my boy I Enjoying yourself?"
"Yes, I'm doing fine, General. You
see, I can't express myself as well as
you can. I haven't as much to draw
from. You've not only book-knowledge
but experience, worth more so
cially than all the libraries In the
world." '-
"You hit It off well. But what Is
better than It all? Moral freedom.
This . table here Is rough, with one
rheumatic leg slightly drawn; these
chairs we sit In, bottomed with strips
of hickory bark, would be scorned at
a sheriffs sale ; but sir, Mark Antony,
In his first triumph, his chariot drawn
by Hons, was not more regal than we
are at this moment,, enthroned and
sceptered with moral freedom. Pour
out, for as that same Antony said:
'Scant not my cups.' Tobe, where's
that old scoundrel who used to play
'The Arkansaw Traveler1?"
Tobe stumped his way over from the
bar.
"You mean old Slithers?"
"That's the man. What's become of
him?"
"NothlnV And I reckon he's playln
right now down at Cadman's Joint,
that ought to be wiped off the earth.
Want him?"
"Need him, Tobias. Send a boy
after him."
Old Slithers, bald and wrinkled,
came with his home-made fiddle. The
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 to recite the di
alogue, Improvising where his memory
failed him.
The General roared his delight, said
that he would go on the stand to swear
against Sour Socrates In favor of the
fiddler's dialogue. "Tobe," he shouted,
"fetch In the buck-and-wlng 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 a dollar apiece,
dismissed them gave the fiddler five,
with an order to play that old tune
again. Old Tobe was now lighting his
evening lamps. The General called to
him. "
"Toby, what have you for supper?"
The old fellow closed one eye. '
iiyhat have T gntr he y Ah.'
Old Slithers, Bald and Wrinkled,
Came With His Home-Made Fiddle.'
that's it. An' I'll "tell youi Fve "got
hoe-cake and roasted doves."
"No, you don't mean It !"
"Hoe-cake and roasted doves, I said.''
"Good, by Gideon's Band. Fetch us,
Tobias. 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
"Tilk about quail I Quail, sir, Is In
sipid, 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 1"
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 grlmness; and turning about,
he saw standing against the wall a
strange figure a man not tall, but
broad of shoulder, his body" sloping
llthely down to feet expressively of
sinewy restlessness. His mass of hair
was like tangled flax straw, dark and
yet gray. Like the bristles of a wild
boar, his short mustache stuck out and
his heavy eyebrows looked like great
hairy caterpillars crawling across his
lower forehead. In his dress there was
a 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? I come to 'pol
oglze to think them mule be mine."
"Well, go on away. I don't want any
apology from you."
"No? You put pistol at me. That
was In Louisiana. This Is Mlssissip'.
An' I tell you here you haf turn' car
petbagger." "What! If General Andrew Jack
son should arise out of his grave and
tell me that, do you know what I
would say to him?"
"You would beg hees pardon as you
will mine, heh?"
"I would say to him as I now say to
you : 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 back, Tobe I"
The dark-faced man looked Drace In
the eye.
"Monsieur was ver' strong. But I
see him some other day."
Turning, the fellow made off.
"Now, who the devil was that?"
asked 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 Major Pewltt's
hand and said:
"Major, Mr. Drace and I have in our
precious possession three quarts of old
Tobe's wild grape."
"Ha which Is as much as to say
that you have three quarts stewed out
of the heart of Venus. I'll find Haw
klnswnd the four of us will gather In
