Raid Mr. Hugonin, half laughing. But 1 can't think it does us any good to talk it over now." "After that," said Einnaird, pursuing his subject, "1 acted consistently on the same mistaken theory. And when it came to the question of giving you up, 1 thought always of you first.

That was why I gave you up which you naturally considered a weakness." It did not escape Mrs. Hugonin that a dormant weakness of her own was reviling under the continued stress of this absurd conversation a weakness for sentiment. But it was checked by her vexation with her friend for breaking their tacit understanding and by the feeling of half contemptuous pity that stole over her as lie spoke Were she a man, she thought, she would never confess at forty to the incompetence of twenty-five. That Kinnaird did so but absolved her again. Also, she reflected, she had a headache yesterday, and therefore it was very lucky this conversation had not been started then, or she would have lieen much more provoked than she was now.

"1 shall not stop you," she said in a half mischievous tone. "Goon 1 won't be angry. You will perhaps admit that if there is anything rankiiug it is as well for you to abuse me and liave it ovei. even after all these years, whose obituaries you have written." "My dear, my darling," he said, his stiong hand clasping her so quickly that involuntarily her arm struggled like a bird's wing to wrest itself away. "It is well for me to tell theonl woman lever loved that 1 love her still and do not mean to let her go again." "Arthur!" "Margaret.

1 love you more than ever." "It is impossible." "1 love yon." "You cannot, cannot be in earnest," she stammered "Why, you have never told me." "Never until now," he laughed. "1 learned something when 1 lost you the first timts my darling." "This," said Mrs. Hugomn, partially recovering herself, "is folly. Arthur, and it is most unfair." "Unfair," he said, "to want you for my wife? No, you mean unfair to take you off our guard. I will not quibble with your words," he 6aid, smiling.

"May the hour and the scene suggest to you all that they will. May they bring you back to it was twenty that you were when it all happened. Margaret, when you were twenty-six went away from tho city of all my hopes, but beforo 1 turned my back on it 1 did as many a refugee had done beforo me 1 sealed up my treasures and hid them, and my store is where I left it. That is why 1 want you to marry me. All that 1 bad looked forward to telling jou when yon were twenty all that I had to saj' to you, the secret hoard that I had been piling up for our married life, is inlact.

and now 1 want you to share it with me." He paused a moment and then went on: "My dear, 1 have simply had to wait, that is all. Dut. please heaven, we will begin again." Poor Mis. llugoinii's breath came and went, an unwilling nn'wiicr of passion, or, it might be, of sentiment. "1'cr haps 1 was the wrong.

"It is," said Kinnaird "And we must positively go back to the hotel at once.

We are a scandal, Arthur and jou know it, for 1 saw you start too." She began to bimle. "Do you sec nothing in the augury?" she asked. "Tho augury?" "We are two old fools," she said.

Years ago the Mi.sM-ippi ner wis famous for its pal.up.-." i large strtiuiers p1; iii i ccti Orleans and the ports aliow wore called. Kow the rail Inno driven all the boats off the river. The former class of Steamers were, in many respects, delightful, but they never ceased to be objects of dread to tiuiid people, for if the racing. Inch was on that river reduced to a system, did not result in the loss cf the boat, there was sure to be one or more encounters between the mora lawless portion of the travelers, in which pistol bullets would fly rather too thirl; for the comfort of the steady going people. The cau.se of bitch disturbance was generally a quarrel over the gaming table.

The regulations of the boats usually required that all such amusements should be conducted in a saloon provided for that pnrposo in the "Texas" (officer scabin), situated on thehumcane deck, but the sporting gentlemen were by no means careful to observe this rule, and the gaming was most commonly carried on at the dining table the main saloon of the steamer, to the great annoyance of two-thirds of those on board. Many professional gamblers used to make these boats their homes, traveling back and forth with them, fleecing all who were foolish and verdant enough to fall in their clutches. One of thr most remarkable men of this class was named Daniel Sturdivant, a the son of a broken down scion of nobility who had settled in New Orleans before the transfer of Louisiana to the United States. Sturdivant had lieen rained a "geutleman" by his aristocratic father, but on coming of age and finding his fortunes very bad. had taken to cards as a means to better them.

His success in this field was so gTeat that he was induced to continue it. until at the lime of which I write he was one of the most notorious gamblers between St. Louis and New Orleans. Ilo was a man of fine pri.wil appearance and of great physical strength, lie was also noted for his personal courage. As a gambler he was inofct expert and successful.

There were daik stories of deeds which lie had committed while tinder the influence of pla und liquor, and it wa.s by some that he had killed half a dozen men in his lifetime. Yet no one daied speak these stories openly, for no one dared to bring upon himself the anger of such a man. lie had attu-hcd himself to one of the in unitieeiit Mrainrrs plving between New Oilc.in and Vicksburg, and had publicly announced his determination to shoot any man who riirmvlird upon of oper.it lulls. Of course tins lei him undisputed possession of the and he reaped a golden harvest during (ho one brief year he conducted his op erations there. It was my lot vf the liuie to bo compelled to make fiequent trips bet ween New Orleans- and Yi'ksburg, being heavily engaged in cotton speculations.

Ho had been drinking. All made way for him.

"Well, gentleman," ho said in an unsteady tone, "you seem to be terribly dnll. Who wants to play for twenty dollars ante?" There was no reply. All present seemed to know the man, and no one arecl to volunteer to place himself in -ches. he exclaimed, with an expression of coiitempl, -alraid to try your luck with Dan Sturdivant, eh? Or tnavlie yon want a little coaxing. Some of you must play with me.

For the first time 1 noticed the gaze of one of the group fixed steadily upon him. He was a stranger to mo and was dressod in a plain suit of homespun, and his face was rtrtialiy concealed by a broad brimmed ombrero, wnicn wan urawu uywn over it "Are you Daniel Sturdivant, the gam-Wer?" he asked in a calm tone without ruing. Sturdivant flushed darkly and gave the stranger a keen glance.
