CHAPTER XIIL
CONTINUED.
"I am thirty-soven years old, and I
have not yet permitted any man to
play master over me. I shall hardly
begin now."
Then he twirled a glass carelessly
and added:
"Geueral Jackson, like any other
plebeian who ha3 risen a trifle above
his present associates, fancies himsolf
a Caesar. It would bo good for him
to have his nose pulled.''
"I should not caro to do that piece
of pulling " said Faval, dryly; "the
nose of Andrew Jackson has the pluck
of a hero behind it."
Mr. Vernon laughed; that leonine,
growling chuckle of his came forth
with a suddenness and force that fairly
jarred the table. He seemed to be
reflecting np6n something that
amused him greatly. Presently he
said:
"Ho dismissed ns, Faval, as if he'd
been a district school-teacher and wo
his rather stupid pupils!"
" 'If Colonel Loring desires tc
fight for New Orleans,' " said Faval,
mocking General Jackson's manner,
" 'let him report to me at once with a
trun.'"
"When I report to General Jackson
he'll be a very much surprised man,"
Loring drawled, with that emphatic
alowness which sometimes means a
great deal. "My report will make his
head swim."
"Oh,come now,"said Favol, "Don't
go too far with yonr resentment.
Doubtless we shall have to fight under
the tyrant. We can't turn onr
backs."
At this moment a gaunt, roughlooking,
stern-faced man strode into
the restaurant, his boots sounding
heavily on the floor.
"There's General Jackson now!"
said Mr. Vernon, and the others
turned to see.
The deep-set eyes of the commander
fixed themselves quickly on Faval,
and there Hashed out of them a perceptible
glow of displeasure, as if
some suddeu vexation had como at
sight of him.
The three arose from the table.
Mr. Vernon made a step forward aud
saluted.
With a curt but comprehensive bow
General Jackson acknwledged the attention
of the group. His eyes, however,
did not tarn from Faval, though
the displeasure vanished from them
evidently by the force of will.
Colonel Loring stood with folded
arms while be gazed steadily into
General Jackson's eyes.
Mr. Vernon extended his hand and
the commander shook it perfunctorily.
i "May I introduce Colonel Loring,
of whom we were speaking this morniug?"
Mr. Vernon went on in a cor-.
aiai tone.
"Humph!" granted Jackson. "How
do you do, sir?"
l"ue manuer and the words wore
more careless aud indifferent than in
auy sense malicious or purposely contemptuous;
but, to say the least, the
riug of downright impoliteness was
unmistakable. It was plaiu enough
that Colonel Loring's presence had
not affected the commander a whit
more pleasantly than had the suggestions
in his behalf by Faval and Mr.
Vernon.
Faval made a step half around the
corner of the table, as he saw some
movement on the part of Loring.
"I am quite sure, General Jack
Eon," Mr. Vernon was goiug on to i
say, "that you ami Colonel Loring
will find it pleasant to "
The thought in his mind vanished
ontho instant, aud he stopped midway
of the sentence; but it was too late
to interpose himself, although he
tried with great promptness aud decision.
What followed was, perhaps, the
most astounding incident in all tho
turbulent and checkered career of
Andrew Jackson.
Loring made a quick step forward,
reached forth his right hand and,
grasping the commander's nose between
his thumb and foro finger,
tweaked it and wrung it savagely.
+ Ka Ciinnro'l ftrifl ihATl
slapped the astonished man's cheek.
"I'll report to yon with a gun when I
see fit, you conceited ruffian."
While he was speaking, Loring had
passed briskly along, and in less than
live seconds he was out of the room.
Iudecd, General Jackson, qnick and
decided as he always was in an emergency,
had Dot recovered from his
consternation before his assailant was
quite gone. Faval, who had a way.
us most unscrupulous politicians
have, of makiug fair weather for himself
just at the most critical moment,
came to the commander's defense, or
rather to his aid, with a pistol which
ho snatched forth and Hred toward
Loring a little too late to hit him; the
ballet creased the door-post.
Jackson wheeled and pursued the
retreating man. Bat what was the
use? He was gone. The irate commander
immediately gave orders for
Loring's arrest; but he was not to be
found so easily.
Jackson, if he suspected that Mr.
Vernon and Faval secretly enjoyed
his discomfiture, did not betray it. |
The matter was hashed up in short
order, and not till many days afterward

I Orleans that "Old Tliidcory'* liad had
ui* nose puneu aua uis cuees siappea
without being able to fitly reseut it.
Doubtless the pressure, sndden aud
apparently irresistible, of the military
situatiou forced Jackson to cast behind
him, for the time at least, all
personal considerations and turn his
whole attention to prcpariug the defense
of New Orleans. At all cvouts,
while Mr. Vernon and Ernest Faval
were yet with him, endeavoring to
quiet him, Lieutenant Ballanche came
in great haste to bear him startling
news from down the river. The British
were coasting along the marshes
and feeling their way toward the city,
or trying to get possession of Pontchartraiu.
As yet, nothing certain
could be known of their numbers or
equipments, saviug that they appeared
to be strnug, well supplied
and contideut. There were great difficulties
in the way of watching their
movements, aud so far it was doubtful
what were their real intentions as
to the point of attack.
General Jackson received the young
lieutenant respectfully, even cordially,
and after a few words with him
aside, took his arm, and bowing to
Faval and Mr. Vernon, walked away
with him towards headquarters.
Faval, in his Creole volatility, could
restrain his indignation no longer,
lie clenched his hands and swore;
but Mr. Veruou was quite calm and
1.1 L 1 L
apparenwy uut iu iuh least iu nympathy
with his companion's bitter
criticism of the commander's personal
treatment of them.
On the evening of this samo day,
Colonel Loring farther distinguished
himsolf by appearing suddenly in the
do Sezaunen box at tho leading the
atre of the city and throttling Lieutenant
Ballanche, who at the time was
engaged in conversation with
Mademoiselle de Sezannes and her
mother. The onslaught was so precipitate
and so quiokly done with that
the perpetrator was gone before any
general understanding of the startling
affair was had by the audience. Bailanche
was seized by the throat in a
grip of iron, lifted bodily and dashed
down stunned and almost lifeless at
the feet of Mademoiselle de Sezanne?.
The play going forward on the
3tage was not half so strikingly dramatic
as this spectacular performance
in real life, and, although the people
of New Orleans were well used to
scones of violence, those who witnessed
it were horrified by the peculiar
atrocity it exhibited. Loring's
two muscular hands closed about the
young man's neck with frightful force,
and his cold, long, narrow eyes flickered
hatefully under his straight,
dark brows.
Mademoiselle de Seznnues and her
mother screamed; the old man's face
grew livid with fright as ho flung up
his fat hands and sunk back, helpless,
in his seat.
At this distance it is difficult to nnderstand
a state of society like that iu I
New Orleans at the time of which we
write; but the temper of tho people
may be suggested by the fact that,
while the city lay appareutly open to
au alien and presumably reckless
enemy whose fleet and troops were
preparing for capture aud booty, the
leaders of social life aud the chief
military officers, Jackson excepted,
were at llie theatre enjoying a Jig it
play. Moreover, the strange incident
just recorded did not much iocouvtMiieuco
cither playors or audience
after the first thrill of excitement
passed ry. It was a momentary wonder,
nothing more.
Mr. Vernon and his wife and daughter
were in a box almost opposite the
one occupied by the do Sezanues, and
it chanced that Fairfax was with them
at the momeut when Loriug appeared.
Pauline did not see the daring and
brill..! act; bnt when she turned in
the direction indicated by her father's
sudden, excited stare, Loriug was
standing there facing the stage. Ho
was orect and rigid with a passion not
otherwise observable, while Ballaache
lay crumpled aud still at Mademoiselle
do Sczannes's feet. Something in
the man's calm, mysterious face sent
through her a thrill of indescribable
sympathy. Ae he turned almost instantly
to retreat from the auditorium.
UI.i c^-3 met uc-o ' -1
raent of recognition, and be smiled
with a peculiar, subdaed gleam in his
dark face.
She clutched her mother's arms, and
her cheeks and lips turned pale as
death. She felt rather than saw the
flash of excitement which parsed over
the faces of the nndience all turned
upon tho tall form cow passing rapidly
aloug tho aisle that led to the main
entrance.
Nobody attempted to Rtop Loring;
even the policemen at the door either
did not understand what had happened
or feared him; for they stood
aside when he approached and let him
pass untouched.
Mr. Vernon sat motionless during
the sceuc.
"What is it? What has happened?"
demanded his wife, as soon as sho could
command her voice. "Has there been
a fight? Is Lieutenant Ballancbe
hurt? Who did it? "Was it Colonel
r i on
ijonug :
With the assistance of the excited
M. de Sezannes, Lieutenant Ballauche
was slowly rising. Evidently ho was
confused and unable to realize what
had happened. Instinctively, hoar
i ?fc? ja?k ?
ever, lie righted hi* disturbed tfolltt
and palled himself together with t
show of dignity and coolness whioi
won the admiration of the onlookers?
On this very evening a conrief
brought tho news to General Jackson
that the British forces were approach*
ing tho rivor from Lake Borgne by
way of Bayou Bienvenu. Lieutenant
Ballancho had not vet fully recovered >
from his bewilderment, when an of*
deer came to hand him an order from
the commander to reuort immediately
at headquarters.
The rumor that the city was on th^
point of being occupied by the eneinj
went, somehow, afloat through the
theatre. This completed the distraction
of the audience. People began
to go, at first by individuals or family
groups, then, as the excitement increased,
there was a wild rush and a
tumult of hysterical voice3. They
poured into the street with the cry :
"The English! The Eaglishl The
city is to be plundered and burnt!"
Mr. Vernou aud Fairfax, along with
a respectable minority of the audience,
kept cool and quietly remained
in their seats ; but the look that came
into Mr. Vernon's face when he heard
the shont and
the British army was entering the
city, told how terrible the announcement
was to him.
" Come," he said to Fairfax, "we
mnst get the ladies to a plac: of
safety." .
"Becalm, dear," he said, laying
hold on his wife's arm.
Pauline was already clinging tightly
to him, but hor thoughts were not
on the coming of the English soldiery.
Somehow she was impressed with the
feeling that Colonel Lonng had, as if
by a touch of magic, caused all this
excitement and tumult.
CHAPTER XIV.
MIL TMUfOX AND COLONEL LOEIKO.
It is best for the reader to keep all
the time well in mind, as he follows
the thread of this story, the historical
peculiarities that blend with the romance
affecting the lives of the peopie
in whom we are interested. The
growth of Louisiana from a colony of
reckleis military adventurers np to
tho statnre of a great State has been
a singular instance of evolution.
Ibervflle and Bienville planted the
seed of a strange race on the gulf coast.
Crozat came with his contract to domoralize,
and Law with his scheme to
ruin the colony. Gold fever, the
fever of conquest, the thirst for discovery,
the longing for lawless power
and romantic glory possessed the
grim, fearless, conscieuccless adven- (
turers. Now the French held tho
government; now the Spaniards took
it; again the French; anon the Spaniards.
But the French and the Spaniards
were not alone. Anglo-Americans
' ame slipping into the colony,
and most of these were restless, reckless,
hungry fellows on the lookout ]
for a chance of fortune. Wilkinson j
came and Burr came and Claiborne
and a troop of their kind, all of them
burning for power and the glory theroof,
raouoy and the glitter of it. '
Men who had been political sobemors,
revolutionists, plotters of treason,
assassination, usurpation, were
self-exiled to Louisiana, to escape the ;
rope, the ax, the guillotine. Deposed
nobles and princes came here, and, in f
sheer desperation, took np the life of
the gambler, the smuggler or the j
pirate. j
But there was the other side of the
medal; for opposed to tho dark aud
turbulent majority stood the " saving
remnant," a strong minority of refiued j
no-m'o wlinm the rvicreneies of life i i
i'~~t o -- j
bad strauded on this sweet, slumber- j
otis, llowery shore, between the warm
gulf stream and the stately Mississip- ,
pi. Some of this remnant wero peo- j
pie who had lied from one or another ^
European coautry for what wonld
have been glorious patriotism if successful,
although when colored with
failure it looked like hideous crime.
Wrecks of true grcatucss lay stranded
along Royal Street and iionrbou and
CarondoieUe, side by side with vnlgai*
flotsam and jetsam of the great Sea of
Chance. True, it was often hard to
discern the rotten from the sound; for
the conscienceless, re1 u-"ded cnlprit
in oxilo was inclined to draw abont
liiru ranch the same cloak of reserve
and mysterious dignity worn by the
expatriated prince or general whose
only offeuca \vr.a the exalted love of
country.

WHAT OUR SCHOOLS COST US.
Immense Sum of Money V/ell Spent
in United States.
It Is probably not generally known
that the United Gtates spends annually
on elementary education about
$227,000,000--the exact figures for y
1900-1901 were, according to
the report cf the United States ^
Commissioners of Education, $22,043,- ^
236. Europe spent during the same
period approximately $246,000,000. The
enrolment In the elementary schools t
of Europe is. however, In the neigh- r
borkood of 45,000,000, while In the r
United States It is not much more
than 16,000,000, although it is estimated
that there were In 1901 almost t
22,000,000 children of school-going age f
in this country. Our yearly expenditure
nop nnnil s\or9ees S22.
Some profit may be faired from a _
comparison of the amounts spent yearly
by representative American cities
for the maintenance and operation of
their public schools. New York spent t
in a single year $19,731,629; Chicago t
follows with an outlay of $8,203,493;
Philadelphia's expenditure was $3,319,- "
064; Boston'8, $3,043,640; Baltimore's, y
$1,417,392; Cleveland's $1,257,345, and y
