Newspaper Page Text16 Capital Journal, Salem, Ore., Wednesday, Feb. 21, 1951 Written by Author of Nine Best-Sellers Pathway to the Stars By HARNETT T.KANE (Author of "Louisiana Hayrlde" and "Bride of Fortune.") THE STOEV SO FAR: Sailin- to ward New Orleans in 1800, John McDonoufh worries about his car lo, and Margaret Koy, back in Baltimore, wno has maneuvered him into a virtual engagement, Aboard ship he meets a charm ing Creole lady, Madame de Boi blanc. Anxious to reach port head of a rival ship, John travels a shorter land route on horse back through mud and rain, lie disposes of his firm's cargo at a handsome profit, and four months later is handling $100,000 in busi ness. Already the continent's cen tral place of exchange, John be lieves in a still greater future for New Orleans, Now go on with the story CHAPTER 3 "Make your money work for you," his father had once said. He was buying whatever seemed good, at whatever terms he could get; Mr. Taylor was beginning to compalin that his money was returning too slowly, that John's deals were on too long-range a basis. There was a certain potential risk in this, John admitted. Yet wasn't there a risk in everything? And the very air here had something that stirred his trading instincts. A tap sounded, and the serving girl entered with an easy smile, a cup of Black coiiee, ana a message "M'sieur Jean, a gentleman downstairs." John frowned. Nervously he re membered Margaret Roy and the letters he somehow had not had time to write her . . . Descending the stairs, he halted in astonishment. Before him sat the decorous Senor Bernardo Go mez, his sallow face bland and un wrlnkled. At the sight of John the senior member of the Gomez firm rose. "Senor It Is nood to see you." John's handshake was wary. "Sit down, won t your" Senor Gomez made an easy ges ture. "Our companies have had" he paused delicately "misunder standings. Still, there is no reason to continue a pointless hostility, Is there? I've watched you for some time, my dear McDough. I admire your kind of ability whenever I see it." Even in an American, he ap peared to be saying. The next words came swiftly: "And so I'd like you to take a place with our firm." He held up his hand. "Whatever ar rangement Senor Taylor has made, it will be bettered." John stared. For a moment he was delighted; the Gomez office was the oldest in the city. Yet he could not accept It; the Taylors had done too much for him. "I'm grateful for the thought," he replied, "but I have other obligations." If Senor Gomez was surprised, he was not disconcerted. "I'm sorry. There's another matter, however." The halt was almost imperceptible. "You know, there's been a problem about the 'trash' that gets into cot ton shipments." "Quite." The word "problem" was an understatement; Mr. Taylor had been fuming about it. Scheming growers or shippers from ud country slipped everything from wood to hunks of metal into the bales. The extra weight brought higher re turns, and the fraud was hard to trace. Senor Gomez dropped the long white ash from his cigar. "The sit uation is the fault of none of us here. Yet we might enforce a uniformity. Let the cotton people understand that we will allow a cer tain maximum amount of trash." The dark eyes had a glimmer of further meaning, John rose. A vein twitched In his temple. "I wouldn't want any thing to do with a filthy scheme like that and if I can do anything to stop It. I Willi" The Spaniard got up slowly, his yes fiery, his manner no less ur bane. "I see. Senor, you will ex cuse me." A flicker of scorn showed on his face. Then he turned his back and walked out of the room. A moment later John, still fum ing, strode down the street in the opposite direction. Gomez would be a powerful enemy. The day was Sunday, but a Sun day such as Baltimore never knew. Men surged along as on parade, shouting, laughing, gesticulating. Carriages rocked by, and friends learned out to cry greetings. A band played; In New Orleans a band always played ... It was more like the Fourth of July! At the next corner he had to pause, because rains had made It a morass. Just ahead, two well-dressed men were Jumping gingerly across the roadway from one high spot to the next. John heard a splash and the words: "You did that on pur posel" Surely the second man would explain. He did nothing of the sort. John approached. "I saw this, and nobody intended" he began. To his astonishment the second Individual stopped him. "Sir, this Is no matter for anyone except us. I'll thank you . . ." He faced awav. Well, if they wanted 11 that way. John started off; then he heard n slap and turned to sec a red mark across the lost speaker's foce. My representatives will call . . ." The words were muttered. What fools they were. Disturbed, by the sights and sounds of the city, John returned to the boardinghouse. At the door waited a white-haired mulatto. "Michie McDonogh?" lie osked in forobo, the Negro dialect, part WHEN A PR06RAM YOU .... ' MAIl'll ARE VlEWINb-'""-OCT BCTftA PtEASURE SPEAR!"" urn I French, part African. He gave John a note. "A matter in your interest . Could you accompany Gulllaume to the house?" John's heartbeat quick ened at the signature Deslree de Bolsblanc. He had thought of her more than once since nis arrival; oj now he knew that the family held high place in fashionable Royal Street. He had hesitated about ap; proachlng her. but with this note he realized how curious he had really been about the uoisoiancs. Gulllaume showed him the way to a fine house of wood and plaster, a nnnplpri door nrjencd. and another servant aamuwxi nun w lnated by a many-uereo. cnanae- lier. Then Desiree stood beside him. M'cipnr?" As she extended her hand, footsteps sounded, and they turned. "You rememoer d ", Francois?" tvip vnnnir man bowed, then shook honriR- this time John thought he saw, instead of the earlier hostil ity, a reuecwuu w w. ,..v..w interest. 'Ahnnt mv message to you . . Desiree began, and then she was talking to him sunpiy ana airecuy. "t like vnn and I think vou should know that Francois Just heard peo r,ia faivinu about vou. ADDarently you've had a difficulty with the UOmezCS. we uuilb uicnii w ,,,u. v ourselves, but we've heard that they are going to use their Influence against you." John bent forward. "How? I haven't broken any law.- nosirpp shrueeed. "How do you know, with the Spaniards?" Her nnxious. "Recently they sent a cousin of mine to Jail on some trumped-up charge. .TiVin Kwnllnwed.

If the governor's office had a reason for ignoring what they wantea . . . mere is u yimv mil. that several oi my iridium have used. They became, like all nf lie Knnnish sublects." John's face changed. At least a dozen Americans hod recently taken that course. Tne spanisn auuioij mpc wpipnmerl It as a sign of their acceptance in Louisiana. It was the last thing that John wanted to rtn hni. hp snw it now not as a sign of their accetpance in Louisi ana. It was tne lasi. wins wm John wanted to do, but he saw It now not as a Question of honor but one of simple survival, men hc heard Francois again: ine mam ihinir i to declare vour intention of becoming a Spaniard. You could do John's eye swere grave. "i win, right oil." nesira raised her hand happily. "Vnn won't no this minute, will you? Here's Gulllaume with coffee." Over the coiiee cups wiey lamea casually. John told of the street- crossing incident ana tne impending duels. His listeners snt silent. John grew aware that Desiree had bowed her head. "It would have been useless to intervene. My older was killed that woy Inst year. The inscription- her mouth twisted "refers to him as 'vlctime de'honneur.' " Francois patted his mother's arm. "A man must defend himself." Then he faced John, new interest in his eyes. "Who were tne two waayr" "I heard that one was a Jean Delacroix. The other a Maxent. Yes, Paul Maxent." At his last words Deslree's Hps fell open, and her son made an in voluntary motion. "It's my cousin." Deslree's hands worked in her lap, and tears were very close. John got up. "Im very sorry. II I'd known . . . Francois jumped to his feet, 'No, we're thankful vou brought the news so soon. Maybe I can head them off." He suddenly seemed older, more sure of himself. "Maman, I'll ride right over. Let me see your up- stnirs." "I'll manage. Francois. And now. Rood day. M'sieur McDonogh . . ." John took her hand and watched as she slowly ascended the curved stairs. Francois had already ordered a carriage, and as It rolled Into the flngstone pssage the Creole shook hands warmly. John called out aft er him: "Godspeed I" Later that day there was good news, lor John learned that Fran- cols de Bolsblanc had been fortun ate enough to stop the other duel. That hnd taken a certain skill; the more he saw of the young Creole, the greater respect he had for him. It was a curious place, this New Orleans.
