COXXINCED.
"Oh, it was Fuval's work, perhaps."
said Claiborn". "i'ou know that Vernon
and Fav.il have always been great
friends."
"Vernon proposes to raise an 1 equip
' a company of ri.Iemeu at bis own expense,"
rem arked Jackson, "but be
flatly refuses to command it."
"Of coarse, he would refu::e that,
general," said the governor. "l"ou
should not expect a man of hii stamp
to come to that. I see that yon have
not understood him. Plainly, you do
not recoanize his importance."
"Important or not important," exclaimed
Jackson, permitting bis natural
irascibility to appear, "I do not
need bis advice or, tor tbat matter,
yonrs either!"
Claiborne, who was no mean diplomat,
beld bis temper and smiled blandly.
He bad tbe utmost confidence in
Jackson, and was determined not to
have a rupture witb hira; but be feared
Mr. V eruon's influence, aud knew tbat
it was necessary to prevent, if possible,
any further disagreement between
him and the commanding general.
Negotiations were in progress between
the governor and Latitte, by which the
former hoped to bring a large uumbei
of tbe outlaws of Barataria and other
resorts to the aid of the government.
Jackson was favoring this scheme,
knowing tbat frebooters wore capable
of doing most eflfectivo sorvice as soldiers.
He now asked for a private interview
with tbe general, aud when
they bad passed into- an adjoining
room, he said:
"I understand your feelings, gen-1
Cral, aud am far from wishing to aggravate
them; but let me say to you in
deepest confidence tbat Mr.. Vernon is
just now an indispensable person to
us. He alone can control tbe maes of
the Creoles and especially the lawless
clans. I tell you tbat we cannot do
without him,"
Claiborne spoke more froru conjecturotbau
from any deliuite knowledge.
Ho did know, however, that Mr. Vernon's
influence was as powerful as it
* was mysterious; tLint Lis wealth, !
though great, and bis liberality,
though democratic, could not wholly
account for the bold be certaiuly had
upon the daugerous class of persons
who constituted iu reality the larger
number of the effective fighting meu
of the State.
Jackson walked the floor. He bad
bceu teiribly worried with reports of
plots and combinations against him in
the oity. The legislature bad not done
as be wished, the courts were dispose I
to assert the superiority of the law,
and ceitaiu of bis injudicious friends
had magnified to him the evidences ol
sedilicn aruoug the Creole population.
Add -d to all this, reinforcements were
slow iu arriving, aad such as bad come

?!< felt that patriotism as well as
setf-intcrest demanded of the people
of New Orleans auil of Louisiana the
inosl enthusiastic and heroic self-devotion
in behalf of his purpose?.
Knowing his own courage and genius
an.1 seeing with the absolute vision of
the born general the supreme need o.
the hour, he could have no patience
with anything or anybody that did not
fall at onco i,:ito lino and obey bis ;
every command, execute his every sag--1
gestinu and show that the most active
faith in his superiority.
"I despiso and detest the whole
crow," he presently blurted out, "and
HI blow them to everlasting scraps, i
before long, if tlu-y persist iu their j
' disloyalty to the country. Claiborne, i
you go a: once and tell that legisla- !
rure to adjourn?tell thew that I|
eay so."
The governor stoo l for a moment
confounded; but it did not take long
for him to sec that General Jackson
meant to be obeyed.
"I have already suggested an adjournment,"
he replied, '.'but of coarse
there is some opposition."

doesn't do it I'll pitch it bodily into

to trifle with now."
Along with General Jackson's assumption
of superiority there weut an
immense capacity for being just. win.
he assumed to be. He overawed
Claiborne from the moment of his arrival
in New Orleans, and, to all in
tents and purposes, took charge o: the

it everywhere that Loring and Pierre
Ham< ait were oae and the same man,
uud thai now the far reaching organization
of which this redontaole outlaw
was king would be turned against
Juckson.
Claiborne had already gone too far
in his support of General Jacksou to
take any backward etep, even if he
had desired to do it, and it was absolutely
necessary now that he should
use the finest diplomacy, in order to
avoid faUiug between two stools.
*'I will go at once, general, and have
a conference with Lonallier and Roflignac,"
said he, in a tone of ready
compliance, "and, if possible, I will
have the adjournment declared."
"Governor, there can be no ifs or
ands about it; the adjournment must
come at once!" exclaimed Jackson,
with overbearing steinness. "Tliey

Claiborne's face pale J with sudden |
anger, bat he made no response; sim- .
ply bowed and retired. As he went |
out he met Lieutenant Ballanche com- |
ingin. The young man looked fatigued j
aud somewhat in a hurry, as if he had !
come from a distauee in great haste j
and was bearing important news; he
greeted Claibomo deferentially as ho
passed, but did not stop. The saudy
11111 u showing in splashes all over him
told of a long, hard ride.
The governor would have given a
good deal to kuow what message Ballanche
was beaiing, and under any
other circumstances he would have
turned back iuto the room. He could
not trust himself to do this now; he
was too much wrought upon by Jackson's
tyranny. There was something
in the young officer's look aud manner,
however, that told a stirring
story.
CHAPTER XVITL
SEEKING r.EFCGE.
The journey to the plantation was r. j
comparatively short one, and the three i
v/oinea at lirst found it not so tiresome
and uuiuterestiug as they had
feared, although it was depressing to
a degree.
They set out early in the morning
through a country somewhat gloomy,
and in places covered with water.
The rain fell at intervals, but the sun
.lashed warmly out between the showers,
as the wiuter sun does in that
tickle, April-like climate, gfviug them
now and then a golden gleam while
they were truudled slowly along under
the moss hung trees. The spacious
carriage with its easy springs and
luxurious cushions afforded ample
room lor its fair occnpauts to rest at
case.
Mademoiselle de Sezannes, who had
never been much iu the couutry and
whose volatile spirits were easily set

interest her on the way; but Mrs.
Veruou cud Pauline cuuld not jjuII
rheir minds away from the fact that
they were once more leaving Chateau
d'Or for an indefinite sojourn in a
lonely plantation house. Their former
experience of a country life in a 10mote
place, as they now involuntarily
recalled it, did not present to their
minds its more pleasiug associations,
hut turned persistently to view those
closiug incidents which were coupled*
with the coming of Burns and the
robbing of Vasseur. To bo sure,
Pauline remembered, with a girl's
vivid faithfulness, every look, every
word, every movement of Fuirfax during
those dawn-hours of her love; but
tiie darker things would insist on
taking precedence, and her mind
dwelt upon all that she had heard of
Pierre it.uueau aud his crimes. She
and her mother had both strenuously
objected to leaving the city, and having
sot out under protest, they woman-like,
made the whole journey in a
stale of mind averse to any sentiments
of wayfaring appreciation.
The veueraoie eoacnmau, mumca in
liis broad-capad great-coat, hummed
many a negro melody in a soft falsetto
voice, and between snatches grumbled
at the horses because they did not
keep well in the rather vague roadway.
"It seeras loo bad," said Mademoiselle
de Sezaunes, after she had
somewhat exhausted herself in making
inquiries touching the natural objects
new to her eyes as they passed
tiioru by iu the 6trange old forest?
"It seems too bad that this dreadful
ivnr should break ud all our delicrht
.'al wiuter enjoyments and send us
away into exile to dream of slaughter
and all manner of dreadful evils. Isn't
it so, Pauline?"
"Do not speak of it! It rends my
ncavt!" spoke up Mrs. Veruon. "I
shall not see a moment's peace, asleep
or awake, till it is all over."
"And how are we to be any safer
awav out here in the woods, I should
like to know?" demanded Pauline,
with more geuuiue peiniance than her
mother had ever before known her to
indulge. "I know that I should feel
better at home in the city."
"Dnt if f were a inau," exclaimed
[ Mademoiselle de Sezannes, shrugging
'1jw shouldei3 and emphasizing her

words with quick French gestures, "1
wouhl stay at home with my family
and protect it instead of "
"Oh, no," Mrs. Vornon inleirapie 1.
"How could you protect then siuq'
handed? The men arc behaving In.-roundly,
dear."
"And what of n>? What eh all v/o
do wlieu they have bvcu killed'? C
ihiokit more heroic to stay with Mio- ?
you lovo and lead t ten oat of dam e
and keep yourself alive for lheui th.: i
to fight all tho battles iu tho wo:. I
and uio."
"If the men felt in that war, flea *,
the English would burn New Orl.-a-u
before the week's end. It would !? ?
unmitigated cowardice. Don't v.. i
know it would, dear?"
"I don't care! I don't care! ^3
there!" exclaimed tlio excitable gir.,
beginning to cry. "I want to go ba c
home. Tell the coachman to turn
around. I can't go uaj I cr.u't! I
can't!"
Pauline joined her friend in shedding
tears freely. She, too, felt a su ddeu,
uucoatrollablo desire to II y b.'<?';
to the city. The two clasped each
other and nestled their young heads
together, sobbing hysterica'ly, while
the carriage rolled softij- along over
the slushy sand or bumped agaitis. to*
palmetto roots.
Mrs. Veruon understood the unexpressed
thoughts of the girls, and felt ?
that fine sympathy which makes the
true mother so clear and tender a critic
of her daughter's love. She beat
back, though she could not forget her
own distress in her desire to console
and inspirit those budding hearts
upou which the first rude wiud of
trouble was blowing.
It was while she was using her best
endeavors to distract their atteution
from the subject of the war that the
carriage suddculy stopped, and she
beard eome one speaking to the coachman
iu a sharp, nasal voice.
"Kern all the way f'om town, hev
ye?" the mau was saying. "An* w'at
air folks a-doin' np thar'?"
"I cayn' say, sen," answered tbo
coachman, wliose Eugliak was of the ,
thin, mincing, Creole kind. "I cayn'
say vat zey do."
'An' who yc got inter "the ear'ge
thai'?"
"I kev' ze madamo an' ze

"Oh, weetning, air they? An' whar'
air ye a-tukiag' 'em to':"
"To ze planiuseeon, sen."
"What pertic'ler plantation air ye
a-taking 'em to?"
"it ecs luess'a Vernon's seh."
"Huuiph! Let me take er squint
inter thet air vehicle."
Mrs. Veinon recoiled from the wizened.
wrinkled old face that was jnst
then thrust close to the carriage winds
w. Mademoiselle de Sezanues
screamed shrilly.
"Beg pardiug, weeming, bog yer
marciful par ling!" exclaimed the
queer lookiug old fellow, touching
his 'coon-skin cap. "Don't ye be
uneasy or afeard; Euos Pcevy ain't
acoin' to do ve no harm."
He shifted the long, heavy rifle by
a quick, deft movemeut, so as to let it ,
rest moro easily iu the hollow of his
bony shoulder, at the same time a
huge quid of tobacco was rolled from ,
one side of his mouth to the other.
"Oh, no, no, weeming folks, I air
your friend; don't ye git sceert. Hit
air my jooty, ye know, beiu' a scout
fer Gineral Jackson, ter kinder squiut
inter car'ges an' things ter see w'at's .
in 'cm; but I don't hurt nobody nor
nothin'." f
He looked very kindly into the faces .
of the ladies and chewed his tobacco j
with great complacency.
Mademoiselle do Sezannos began
to speak volubly to him iu French;
but ho only grinned uud scratched his i
head. c
" 'Taiu't no use a-flingiu' thct air
sort er stuff at me, young 'oruan. Up c
in Tennessee we jes rasas mot same
old laug'age w'at we alius did." 1
"You say you are scouting for Jack- (
sou?" suavely inquired Mrs. Vernon,
merely to collect herself.
"Yas, mum; Hie Giu'ral an' mo
runs together. WJiarsomcver yo hn' t
biiu ye'll stagger on to me pooty clost L
'roun' thur. He calls me Olo Eyes;
but my name air nothiu but Euos \
Peeyv."
"Thauk you, sir. Good morning, o
Drive on, Catulle." Mrs. Yeruou s
smiled and bowed to the man as graciously
as if ho had been a courtier.
The coachman, obedient to tho order
of his mistress, started the horses a
on at a brisk gait.
"What a queer person!" exclaimed t
Mademoiselle de Sezauues, when they
were well away from the spot. "Ten- t
nessee must be a strnuge country if it 1
is inhabited by that sort of people." d
"Bat he had a kiud face and an engaging
way despite his odd dross and
comical dialect," said Mrs. Vernon,
"and should be ready to trust him at '
a time of danger."
"Oh, but he's hideously ugly."
"Xo, not ugly, n\y dear; only out- fi
landish-looking. I noted his features
carefully and found them of almost ?=
Grecian regularity. Old age and ex- *
posnre have wrinkled and bronzed
him; but he has clear, honest eyes
and a good face, ou the whole." ^
Mrs. Vernon urged the discussion *
iu order to draw the mind? of the p
girls away from the recent channel of
thonght. Pauliuo was inclined to
side with Mademoiselle do Sezannes (*
and say that tiio scout did not striko
her as a person to bo implicitly be- c
lieved in. lie must have had wuie
ulterior design iu stopping the carriage.
It was very easy for a man to
call himself i scout; he might be a <.
robber or cvmu nu English spy. Cor- ^
taiuly he had found out by most adroit ^
work who they were, where they were .
going and what they had iu the car- v
riage. Perhaps bo would caxt that t

CRASHED INTO A MATERIAL TRAIN
Passengers Thoroughly Shaken Up
But None Injured? H< avy Lruw&^e

Greensboro, N. C., Special.?No. ?9,
the through vestibule train between
Washington and Atlanta, ran into a
material train two miles north of here

the car. Two white boys, fifteen
years of age, of Danville, who were
beating the vestibule on the first
blind, were injured in the head, but
escaped before a physician arrived.
Their names are not known. There
was intense excitement here at the

Number 29 was running at a rate of
25 miles an hour. The material train
had not reached the siding. The engineer
sent a flagman ahead to see if
the track was clear. The flagman reported
all right, a few minutes before

vestibule was entirely destroyed, but
there was no material damage to cars
or track. No. -y arrivea at me station
