THE FATAL CAR I).
flow tho rimralH havo 1 1 riven nil 1 ho
bojits o T tho river. Tho formor cinm (f
! stonmofs vvrt in many rcsiieeta, de-
liglittul, but they never cetweii to IjO ob
jects of dtvnd to timid MHi1e, for if
the rnring, whicli wuh on that river re
duced to ti stem, did not result in the
toss of the boat, there vns wtro to be one
or more emvountera between the more
lawless j-ortimiof tbe travelers, In which
pistol bulli tu would fly rather too thick
for tho mmfort of the nteady ffoiiif?
people.
Tlio cause of such disturbance v.w
generally a (piarrel over tbo gaming
table. Tho rcgulatioiH of tho Ixmta
usually iotjuiiel that all such auiuce
incuts .should bo conducted in a saloon
provided for that purpoHoiulho "Texas'
(oflicer'H cabin), situated on thohttrricane
deck, but the sporting gentlemen wero
by no means careful to oltserro thin rule,
and tho gaming was most commonly
carried on nt tho dining tablo in tho
main saloon of tho steamer, to tho great
nnnoynnco of two-third of tho-o on
board.
Many professional gamblers used to
make theo boats their homed, traveling
back nnd forth with them, fleecing nil
who wero foolish and verdant enough to
fall in their clutches.
One of tho most lemarknblo men of
this class was named D.miel Sturdivant,
a Frenchman, tho Mm of a broken down
scion of nobility who had settled in New
Orleans beforo tho transferor Louisiana
to the United States. Sturdivant had
been raised n "gentleman" by his aristo
cratic father, but on coming of ago and
finding his fortunes very bad, had taken
to cards ns a moans to better them. Ills
success in this field was so great that ho
was induced to continuo it, until nt tho
limo of which I write, ho wns ono of tho
most notorious gamblers between St,
Louis and New Orleans. Ho was a man
of fine personal appearance and of groat
physical strength. Ho was also noted
for his porbonal courage. As a gambler
ha was most oxpeit and successful.
There wero dark btories of deeds which
he had committed whilo under tho influ
ence of play nud liquor, and it was said
by some that ho had killed half a dozen
men in his lifetime. Vet no ono dared
to speak theto stories openly, for no ono
dared to bring ujwn him self tho nngcr
of such a man.
Ho had attached himself lu ono of tho
magnificent steamers plying between
New Orleans and Vicksburg, and liad
publicly announced his determination to
shoot any man who encroached upon bis
sccno of operations. Of courso this left
him undisputed possession of tho Held.
I and ho reaped a golden harvest during
tho ono brief year ho conducted his op

It wns my lot at tho timo to bo com
pelled to m.iku frequent trips between
New ' Oxlcana and Vicksburg, being
heavily engaged in cotton sjieculatiuns.
I preferred the steamer of which Sturdi
vant had taken posbcssion, inasmuch as
it was not only the mobt comfortable,
but also tho swiftest, and timo was of
tho utmost Impurtanco to ino. It was
known that 1 carried largo turns
money, aud 1 was also aprehensivo lest
Sturdivant should ask 1110 to play.
I had fully made up iny mind to re
fuse him, aud if ho attempted to draw
ino into a quarrel to shoot him without
mercy, ns I Knew that tho only chance
for my life lay in getting tlte advantage
of him. Strange to say, ho did not make
any such projiosition to me, and I gavo
him no chance to do so,
Ono night v;o had staitod out from
Yicksburg, and were hending merrily
down the river, when Sturdiviiut came
up to the group which had gathered
around the stove. Ho had been drink
ing. All made way for him.
"Well, gentleman," he said in an un
steady tone, "you seem to bo terribly
dull. ho wants to play for twenty
dollars anUir
There was no reply. All prewut
seemed to know the man, and no one
cared to volunteer to placo himself in
his clutches.
"Umphl" lie exclaimed, with an ex
pression of contempt, "afraid to try
your luck witli Dan Stuidivant, eh? Or
uwybe yon waut a little coaxing. Some
of you must play witli me. I cnu't stand
such treatment. Come, let's seo who it
shall be."
lie glanced around tho crowd as if to
secure hia victim, f ur the nt time 1
noticed the gaze of one of the group
Hied Bteadily upon uim. lie was
straiurer to toe and wr dressed in a
plain suit of homespun, and hja face was
partially concealed by u broaifuriuuued
sombrero, which waa drawn down
over it.
"Are 5ii Uautel Sturdivant, the gam.

rising.
Sturdivant tl lulled darkly aud guv
the atrauger a keen glance.
"Some jiersuua roll me so U-huul my

"Xeverthelesa." said tho atrauger ipil

his gonornl air ami manner that D.uilcl

It did not tnku lung to show us that tho
stranger was an unusually good player.
lor an hour or more the lilaying went
on in silence. The stakes weie high and
the content marked Willi rare skill.
Htimlivnnt exerted himself pa ho hail

efforta ho lost steadily. By tho expira

That wits well done," said Iho strang

btimlivnnt said nothing, out dealt tho

Sturdivant was about to seiito the stakes
again when the stranger laid down a
card and checked him.
The gambler uttered a sharp cry and
sat niotionloss, with his eyo ilxed on tho
card, n worn and faded ace of hearts,
with a dark stain across tho face. Stur
divant's fact) worked convulsively as ho
gazed at it, and iho spectators gathered
movo closely around tho two, wondering
nt tho htrango scene.
"In God's name, who mo you?" asked
Sturdivant, with his ryes still fixed on
tho card.
"Look at mil," said ti stranger
quietly.
As if powerless to resist, Slurdivaut
raised ins eyes to the stieaker.
Tho stranger raised his - hat and sat
looking nt iho trembling man with eyes
which blazed with fury. Sturdivant
uttered n groan and sank back iu his
chair, with his faeo whito nnd rigid,
Tho fctrangir with ono sweep gathered
up Iho money from tho table and thrust
it in his liosom.
"Tho acn of heaits is an unlucky card
for you, D.miel Sturdivant," ho said
coolly; Vlyoit played it onco when you
thought it to your advantage. Now,
God help you, for that play is returned."
As ho spoke ho raised a pistol which
wo had not been, and before wo could
stop him aimed deliberately nt iho trem
bling man nnd lired. Tho gambler fell
heavily upon Iho table a corpse, and the
bright blood streamed over it, hiding
tho fatal cud from sight.
"Gentlemen," said tho stranger, ris.

with horror at tho dreadful scene, "that

Over tho lint fen i ouniry Ihero wero
whito mists rising. It was nliemly
growing dusk, but it wns not going to
bo very dark this summer night. Tho
weeds had lieeu cut and drifted down
stream in thick masses. A thin, middlo
aged man stood by tho lock gates,
watching an approaching boat. He was
dressed iu country clothes, but ho had
not thenlrof ncnuntrynian;howa nile,
and had a look of exiierience. Savo for
tlio regular sound of the sculls every
thing was quite still. Save for tho man
ut tho lock gates and tho solitary occu
pant of tho boat thero was no ono in
sight. It was n wide, Hat, desolate
scene.
Tho boat was rather n heavy tub, and
the man who was sculling was tired and
out of temiicr. As a rule, he wns thought
to bo a distinctly brilliant nnd genial
young man; but he wanted to get on lo
Nunnislinm. which was five miles be
yond tho lock, that night, and ho hnd
been delayed by tho weeds. Tlio gods
had given him extraordinarily good
looks nnd many other good things;
enough to keep him genial, unless, as
on tho present occasion, circumstances
tried him severely. At tho lock ho
drew into tho bank anil hailed tho mid
dlo nged man who still stool watching
him.
Hi! what aro tho weeds like nlwvo
tho lock'f"
Yerv bad. sir. Tlio answer was
given in a serious, resiiectfiil voice.
Tho young man swore gently to him
self. "Is thero any placo near hero
wheio 1 could put up for the nighlr
There is only n publio house, sir, X

I could givo you n bedroom, n little

"Uood a ueu nnd somo supper catn
itall That U tho only bit of luck I'vo
hud today." As ho was speaking tho
young man picked up a smull knapsack
which was lying iu tho stern of tho boat
and jumped out. Ho made tho boat
fast and joined tho landlord on tbo tow
path.
It is this way. i on will let mo carry
that for yon, sir."
As they walked along tho brilliant
young man his name was Philip Vinco
chatted freely. Ho was taking a holi
day tin the river und was to have joined
a friend nt N iiutusham that night and
then gono on with him tho day after.
llo told the landlord all this aud also
surmised that Hill was not n native of
iho fen country.
No, sir," wis tlio answer, "1 was
valet to Sir Charles Stiliuotit, You havo
perhara heard of him."
l'hilip had never Heard ot him, but
said that ho had.
When Sir Charles died ho left mo a

from her ladyship and fettled here.
was very young then and I havo been
hero eighteen years.'
Philip gathered from further talk us
they went along that Mrs. Hill was
dead, and that she had left ono child.
Jeanne, u girl of seventeen, who lived
witli her father. When they reached
tlio inn. Hill showed l'hilip a bedroom-
a large, comfortable room, nnd began to
mako some apology about supper. They
very rarely hud any ono staying in the
house, nnd there was nothing left but
hero Philip Interrupted:
"Yon would be doing mo a kimluess
if you would let me have supper with
you nud your daughter, t liato solitude.
I mean, if your If -Miss tilll wimlilul
object."
"If you really v. Uh it, sir, 1 should bo
very pleased . so also, 1 am Biire, would
Jeanne." Hill was u born valet; ho had
tho manner: if ho had lived out of
service for u hundred years ho would
havo been a valet still. When Hill left
him, l'hilip looked around the room
and congratulated himself. Lverythui
was very ueat and clean. The landlord
was a capital fellow a littlo solemn.
perhaps, but still a capital fellow. This
was far above the accommodation which
ho had expected.
Just then a light loot tall came up tho
stairs, and 1'lulip caught a snatch of
French song. Tho song stopped short
just before tho footfall passed his door,
Philip conjectural that this must be tho
daughter, and that It hud been a I rene
maid that Hill had married hence tin
name Jeanne and that snatch of song:
also that the daughter had been warned
ot his arrival, and hud gone to put on
her prettiest dress. All of these con
jectures weie quite correct. And yet
when Jeanne entered the sitting loom,
few minutes afterward, and saw Philip
for the first time, she was so startled
that she showed it slightly. Philip was
also a little surprised, fur a different
reason, and did not show it at all. He
had thought of the possibility that
Jeanne might be pretty, ami sue was
beauty a brunette, childlike in many
ways, but with a woman's eyes. Her
voice was good, and her first words
showed that she had some education
It took her about ten minutes to get
from decided shyness to complete conn
denoe. Philip was feeliug far too good-
tempered to lot any one be thy with him;
lie made Hill and his daughter talk, and
lie talked freely biiuaeir. He liked the
simplicity ot everything about him; he
had grown tired of formalities in Lou
don. He liked cold beef and salad, for
he was very hungry, aud yes, aboveall,
be liked Jeanne. What m caltll were
that face and that ui i.iiie. doing hi a

not apologiae too much, did uot get

wearing a white dres with forget me
note in it.
Tbe table was ch ared by a native ser
vant, who seemed all red cheeks and
new boots. Uill went off to superintend
tbe buaiuess of the inn. Philip waa left
alone with Jeanne. She told him to
Hnoko aud he was obedient; he also
nude her toll him other things.
Yea, she had been to school at Kim
nishaui rather too good a school for
her, she was afraid, bat her mother bad
wished it. Her mother bad taught her
French and a little tuiuric. Untie aud
drawing were tbe best things, slut
thought, but she liked some books. She
owned that it was lonely at tbe inn. "1
am glad ou came," she confessed
fraukly.
"Jeanne," said Philip, "I beard you
bumming a line or two of Jadis' before
upper, didn't 1 I wuh ) uu would sing
it to me." She agreed at once, crossing
tbe room to a little cottage piano rather
a worn out intium?ut, but still a piauo.

ness of time or the certainty of deulh so
often that they lose all meaning; then
when one grows old or lies dying the
platitudes get to have terrible force

She whs struck by that; she kept her
eyes fixed ou his nnd he kept on talking
to her. lie Hid not, ns the tltuo wore
on, always menu quite so much ns he
said, nud she meant much more than
she said. That is u common difference
between n twin and n woman on such
ocoa.lons. It seemed lo her that now
tor the first time she really lived.
After Jeanne had said good night,
'hilip had some chat with her father
iilwiit her.
"I oxpect that sho will bo engaged
ery soon, sir," ho said; "a young man
culled Banks William Hanks is mix
ious, nndiuu spoken to me, nud sho likes
ilm."
Now, 1 wonder," thought Philip as ho
went up stairs, '.'why sho never even
hinted that to me. M'yes, I see."
Next morning after breakfast ho went
away, taking witli him u few forget
uienote, a pleasant memory nnd just tho
faintest jiossible feeling or remon-o.
They all faded.
Jeanne had seemed so quiet and do-
uessed of late that her father, in order
to cheer her up, had invited Mr. Wil
liam IJntiks to spend thp evening.
Mr. liauks wns a small shopkeeper in

Thero once lived in the City of Mexico
a Frenchman known as Otavito (little
Octave), whose rogueries kept the town
in a ferment. At one time he claimed
to ltave discovered a specific for the re
juvenescence of women, and by ineana
of sensational advertising ho succeeded
hi gathering a clientele of f, irty or fifty
ancient dames, who were assembled, on
a certain day, in along sola, trnked ont
with astrological symbol, crucibles,
alembics and all the paraphernalia of
charlatanry. The conjurer presented
himself before the ladies aud addressed
them iu flamboyant language, euding at
follows: "And now, senorun of iu soul,
it is needful that the mystic ceremonies
before lis lie opened by the ohh -r one
among j-ou."
Then, addressing her wliu.-e appear
ance seemed tu indicate prim uy. he
asked her age. "Thirtv nn jears,
senor," simpered the beldame who waa
at least in the seventh decade ' And
you, senoraV" "Thirty -six." Aud so en,
until lie liad got them down to a de
clared age of twenty years, w uh a maxi
mum of thirty-seven. "Well, ladies all
jou perceive that without further pro
ceedings tho miracle is act ouiphshed. '
said Otavito, "for tlte least gallant of
men could not call her aught but yuuog
whose years are but thirty-Hcvcn and
you see for yourselves that i tin. age uf
