"NADINE!" WNCMMHS.--The ttm« *the late '99s or early "70s and the ac«na a •tf am bo at on tha Mississippi r'v*r- All the types of the period ar« present and the floating palace is distinguished by merriment, dancing and gallantry. There are 1 ® customary drinking and gambling. alno. Virgil Drace, a joung northern mfin, Is on lite way aouth on a mission of revenge. H« meets an ei centric character In the person of one Liberty Shottle, who is constantly tempting the goddess or chance. They agree to a singular pact. Drace, seeing an opportunity to use Shottle, confides to him that his mission is to find a certain «xpuerrlUa. Stepho la Vltte, who ha murdered Drake's father. It Is his determination to hang La ^ ltte *s high as Haman. Drac* falls in love with a striking young beauty on the boat The steamer naches New Orleans, at that time in the somewhat turbulent throes of carpetbag government. The young men attend the French ball and Dface unexpectedly meets the girl. She Is accompanied by one Boyce, apparently her fiance. Shottle learns that the name of the girl Is Nadine la Vltte. Drace passes an uneasy right torn by the suspicion that Nadine t« the daughter of old Stepho la Vitte, now an admitted outlaw. Now, more than ever. Is he resolved to find where the Rirl lives and to find Stepho. Drace and Shottle begin a search of the city. Drace takes a hand In a carpetbagger riot. He catches a glimpse of one he is sure Is Nadine. Drace and Shottle get Into bal standing with the authorities, and 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. Shottle discovers that a case of wine on the steamer Is addressed to Stephc la Vitte at Farnum's Landing, Mississippi. It Is the next stop below Bethpage's Landing and General Bethpage is Liberty Shottie's uncle. They decide to visit him. 'Liberty goes broKe again and swears off again on betting. They are cordially received by the General and his wife. Drace penetrates Into the wilderness, discovers Periwinkle House and finds Nadine alone. She Is hiuch 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 again the. following Thursday. On his way fiome Drace is accosted by three men who ask to be set across the river. They 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 Are to the cabin and the three go off laughing. Nadine rescues him and agrees to meet him again. filliHill Tb* Belt 8jrn4l«at» -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 Vltte." To Drace this encounter with Stepho In Vltte. the fnther of the girl he loved--and the outlaw upon whom hOj had sworn to wreak vengeance--was disturbing Indeed. The General, however, 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. Dra<«e and 1 have in our precious possession three Quarts of old Tobe's wild grape." "Ha--which Is as much as to soy that you have three quarts stewed out of the heart of Venus. I'll find Hawkins and the f«»ar of its will gather lu the Texas and--and flatter the stars, by gad! But Tobe lied--said lie dldn> have any of the old 'stock left." "And a liar's wine Is sweet, my dear Major. Come, Virgil, my boy. put all brooding out of yoqr mind. Brooding is for the poet When the nag Is tired, and not for us. We'll have a night of it, and then we'll return to respectable servitude and slow moral decay. My dear Major, lead on. We follow." Yhe remainder of the trip back to Beihpage was a matter of moral freedom at the gaming table for the General. For Drace It was. occupied with meet him, to met it was to stand' there at the window to Catch the lira*, my of the sun. The old man hammed a Jagged tune; in a garden of melody It*would have been a briar. Nadine came out, and gallantly he kissed her hand, laughing softly; and then asanas his wont, he Jdssed her hair. Her duties about the house were light, but he helped her, and when their queer assortment of plates and dishes, gold-rimmed china, crockery, stoneware and tin plate had been washed and put away, they sat In the shade of the house, the girl anxious and wondering. "I have sent Tony back to the ceety, as I tell yon I will." he Aid to her. "He does the. good work to burn the spy, the cnro^tbnggalr. Now he have ariMAA ttnrl U'ir m CHAPTER VIII--Continued. . --10-- The General roared his delight, said Chat 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 negroes, a throng of idlers following •hem. At It they went, shaking the house, and when weariness threatened to seise 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--gaye 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?" <yld fellow closed one eye. -fWhat have I got?; he says. Ah, (fiat's it. An* TO tell jrou. ^»a fot hoe-cake and roasted doves."! "No, you don't mean It I" "Hoe-cake and roasted doves, I said." "Good, by Gideon's Band. Fetch us, Tobias. And mark you, along with It «tl bring about a trowel full of that wild plum Jelly. The doves and the strips of bacon auid the hoe-cake and the jelly came «a, and arising the General saluted the repast "Talk about quail t Quail, air, la Insipid. white, dry and tasteteaa compared with the dark richness of the dove. And look at this bread, made of tnealed pearl. You never tasted any ' toacon like that, my son, fed on acorns afeowered down from Olympus. The sweet of the night!" They had finished the meal and were Witting back, smoking, sipping wine, when Drace noticed a sudden change In the General's countenance, a tightening, a grimness; and turning about, he saw standing against the wall a strange figure--a man not tall, but broad of shoulder, his body sloping Hthely 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 hoar, 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 •>' "!*• came forward. , "This is General Bethpage, hehr if.U?(>That is my name, yea. What do j jpnu want with me?" ? "Whut I want; heh? I come tq* 'pol- • fglze to think them mule be mijie.' ;: "Well, go on away. I don't want any Apology from you." "No? You put pistol at me. That Was In Louisiana.

Genipr*l," cried Drace. IThere is not going to be a ftjfht here. £tnnd back, Tobe!" The dark-faced «»an lookeJ brace in Ifce eye. Monsieur was ver* strong. : him RORw other day." ;/ ','f. Turning, the fell»«v in*4* *4f yi'j . iet&i --5 ! The Old Man Hummed a Jagged Tune* the hot struggle between thoughts of his grim mission against 8tepho, and his longing for Nadine. For the time being, however, the beautiful girl who had rescued him from the burning hut triumphed. She had promised to see him once more on Thursday. He would keep the tryst. ^ Presently the Bumblebeie made Bethpage Landing. And the General's hospitality was at once so warm and so gracious that Drace felt no hesitancy In remaining for the time being under his roof--until Shottle's return, at least. That nlglft after dinner when his wife. Tycie, had left, the old gentleman lit a cigar and for a long time sat smoking In silence; and Drace was silent, too, looking through the lattice at the moon, love's slow timepiece stopped and stagnant In the sky. "Virgil r "Yes, General." "Have you a pistol, sir?" "No; I had one, but I lost It." "Well, provide yourself with another. In saving roe from a deadly assault you have mortally offended old La Vltte. He Is In *no wise afraid; but neither is he gallant, and would sh«v>t you without warning. You told me, you remember, of your appointment to meet old Spence tomorrow. I haven't any too mucli confidence In him; he might play you Into the hands of Stepho, ami I advise you not to go fishing with him." "Spence. No that's not the name of the old fellow I'm going with. His name Is--Splllers, I think." I don't know a man of thnt name In the neighborhood. But. anyway, arm yourself and keep a sharp lookout" And then they sat and smoked ID silence, Inhaling the dewy breath of •ii^ night. & CHAPTER ix With the first gleam of Thursday"* light Nadine arose and stood looking Out from the window. Her father had come In late and was to depart again early for the hills, but she was afraid lest he might have changed his mind. She heard him moving about, but she waited a long time before she went to spree, witb^the red wine an' the white. When the time come, be be back. I have need of heem with the cattle that I buy. He drive them , . . Up to the town Natchez I have trouble. The ol* scoun'rel Bethpage! I go In the tav\ an* he Is there, sing, laugh, eat an' look at the darky dhnce. I wait. Then I go up. We have words. He jump up. Then the young man, big, he grab my wrist like this. He squeeze. I say: 'Monsieur you was ver' strong, I see you again.' An' *Vlten I do, I keel heem. I hear old Bethpage call him Vergeel. The old man I tael too, eh?" . * ; "Oh, no--no!" she cried . :i . "Let us go away somewhere. They will never let you alone. It will be better to be In the city than here." "Just a.little while longer we stay< In this place, eh? Then we meet Monsieur Boyce in Memphis, an* you marry him, an' he take you away for the honeymoon, per'aps to France. An* he buy you the silk dresses, an' many beautiful things. An' then I come and *o!n' you, an' we all live happy--eh?" "But--but I do not like Jdtonstatt Boyce!" "Ha! Yon learn .soon. He Is a fine man. Walt till we see him in Memphis an* you know him better. You will love him thenvan* be happy. . ... , I go now. Au revolr, ma p'tlte." Stepho went down to his boat; feeling that he had outwitted her Impatience of the swamp, and she ran back to her room to gaze through the window. But soon she came out with a big leatherbound book of plays and put It on the ground beneath the oaks. Then wKh a broom idade of stiff twigs she swept the ground, unstrung a caterpillar swinging down and carried It away out of the range of her stage. From the house she brought a narrow strip of rush matting, spread It beneath a tree, raising one edge as If to form of It a sort of back, a sofa. From the. house she brought a box, to serve for a table, and from out beyond the palisade of cane she gathered lilies, plucking from the bank a great bloom that looked like a trumpet. These she hung on the low-sway- Ing branches of her playhouse trees, or with sharp thorns pinned them to the rugged back, a curtain to drape the wall above her "pretend-like" divan. She sat down and waited a long time. The cane stirred, aud she seized her book, opened where a lily-stem marked her favorite play, and made herself believe that she was rending. It was only a brt-eze that, rustled In the cane. She could hear It now. lisping amid the glossy leaves above her. Why should she be Impatient? She could wait. Had she not waited night after night for her father's footstep? Had she not sat In the house, alone and not afraid, when the storm tangled the tops of the cypress trees and lashed the bayou mad? She had not heard a sound, but looking by chance, she saw Drace coming through the cane, and she sprang up to meet him, the play-book pressed against her bosom. "Nadine." -"'^7' " "Monsieur P "Don't call ma 'Monsieur.* Call me Virgil." ' , She dropped her book. Be bent to pick it up, but she snatched It from beneath his reaching hand and stood back from him. , "Oh, It was you, thenj It was yon the so strong man that would break ray father's wrist It was you!" "Nadine, It was not to hurt him. With a knife he would have killed an olJ man; and then they would have hanged him, Nadine, my other hand held yours, to protect you." "It ttmst be true. I will ivelleve you --Virgil. I know you brave and "ttot wish to^hurt an old man. No, j»u could r.ot do that You will forgive me, yes?" She held forth her hand and taking It tenderly, he touched it with his Hps; and like a princess she acqepte i the homage d.je her rank and her beauty. "Come, now, we play," she said, sweetly laughing. "And It must be free, like the boy and the girl. But first you sit down here and tell me." • The dress with Jacket to match has came to be one of the mainstays of fashion, observes a fashion writer in the New York Tribune. It is the smartest costume that one can have for general daytime wear, and with the dress consisting of the cloth skirt attached to a blouse of chiffon, which may be plaited or embroidered. It becomes a dressy as well as practical garment: Fain brule, or burnt bread, a lovely shade, which 1s closely akin to the beige shades. Is used In many of the smartest models which are being made for raidseason and early spring. An interesting coat developed in, cloth of this shade is embroidered In dark blue, the embroidery appearing down the sides, on the roll collar, and forniltag a deep border on bell-shaped sleeves. ' The panel-like front and loose-fitting back are entirely plain. Appearance of Muffs. Just below the deep and exaggerated armholes are looplike panels which are set onto the. body of the coat, giving the appearance of being cut In one with the sides. These pieces are heavily embroidered Inside and out, carrying out the embroidery design, which extends from the shoulders to the bottom of the coat. Among the suits that came over from Paris is one of taupe cloth, with high, mufflln," collar and deep cuffs Black Cloth Dress Witn Trimmings of Red and Gold Braid. Cape Is Attached Across the Back and Along 8leeves to Elbow With Braid. of fur. ^even-eighths sleeves of fur as well as deep cuffs and high enveloping collars of fur are still used on suits. Some of the collars are so high that they leave only the eyes visible. On this suP the cuffs extend nearly to the turn of the elbow, the fur being worked around the sleeves almost like muffs, so rhat when the arms are bent these huge fur cuffs easily give the appearance of elongated'muffs. This is one of the ways of cheating Dame Fashion, for the muff is still considered an unnecessary accessory < * dress and it is therefore not at all smart: The cut of this suit Is very like that af the OOBt aching nearly to the bottom of a straight. * narrow skirt There la a straight panel of the cloth front and back about nine inches In width which extends from the neck line to the bottom of the coat Three slightly circular flounces about five inches in width, startinc from a low waistline, are placed at even Intervals down the sides of the Jacket. These disappear under the long straight panels, which are at the back and front, making these two parts of the coat identical. Another type of suit Is developed In black silk Jersey cloth, trimmed with elaborate embroideries in black, gold and silver at the back only. Deep bands of black fur edge the bottom of the jacket and form a high collar. The fullness of the Jacket Is drawn In over the hips, leaving back and front portions perfectly flat. The skirt Is cut on straight lines, the only trimming being loop panels of the cioth at either side. These extend below the edge of the skirt.

All the fullness of the Jacket Is massed over the hips. From* under this fullness on either side comes a line of black embroidery which slants down towar^ the middle, meeting the bands of fur. Embroidery is worked in the same way on the sleeves, continu-ng as It were, tha line of embroidery on the Jacket. The^dress accompanying this coat shows the skirt of velours de lalne, while the low-walsted bodice of blnck crepe de chine hangs In a straight, unbroken line from the shoulders. Ihe model being beltless. Rough surfaced woolens In creamy beige tones are being made tip Into very attractive top coats. One, developed in this material and color. Is 'trimmed with kolinsky fur. It Is long, of full box cut and fastens with a single button of the material just above the waistline. Four bands of kolinsky form loose and ample, sleeves, which join the whole material at an extremely low underarm seam, in this manner forming seven-eighths length fur sleeves. The fur which forms the high collar Is worked vertically, and as this collar Is of somewhat exaggerated height only the eyes of the wearer are visible. A smart hat to be worn with this coat la a small turban of velours and fur. A yellowish beige wool is used tor a new topcoat, which is made with a deep yoke and a high collar of eable worked' in circles. The deep i^mholes are outlined with a fine, oldsilver thread embroidery. The lining Is of a p^tle beige satin, with a pronounced cubist pattern in blacl: and white. Among the very luxurious mantles is a wrap of Russian sable showing a double cape and high turnover muffling collar. The fur at the bottom of a cape, which comes to just the libe of the hips, is worked in four horizontal bands, formlag a sort of border. The fur forming the entire muntle, with this one exception, is used vertically. Including the ample collar, which falls down to the shoulders. The lining is one of those beautiful liand-embroidered satins which adorn so many of the day and evening wraps seen at smart gatherings. A very smart little hat to match this Is of sable, the sole trimming being a tiny ornament of jade green beads In oriental design.

He said that one of the coffins which the police found In the undertaker's possession had been sold many times and that the scheme had been worked successfully for many months.

The graveyard was the scene of wild disorder, with relatives of the dead weeping and wailing as they dug Into the graves of their dead. Six cases where tha coffins were missing wafe discovered the first day. Officers Lay In Walt To investigate rumors of grave robbing, three Fulton county policemen lay In wait nt the cemetery one night. The burial grounds Is on a slope almost withinjttfae shadow of the federal prison walls. The officers hid behind a tomb when they saw a hearse approaching in the moonlight. The hearse stopped beside the grave of a man buried the day before. Two negroes, equipped with spaded and picks, began to dig lntd the grave.
