“Then you will fly with me. my own Jeannette! I am glad that this happen- ed. for it removes the only obstacle to our union. I have been offered a good situation at a trading-post in the moun- tains. and a train is to start westward til-marrow. Will you go with me. Jean- nette? I fear it will be a rough life for you; but I can assure you ofmy love and fidelity. and you will at least be free from James Musson."

“ Can we be married before we start i" asked Jeannette. as she hid her face on her lover's breast.

" Of course. If you can slip out of Madame l’inette's tomight. I will per- suade Father Martin to meet us at the chapel before daybreak. and we will take our place in the train as soon as the cor- emony is over."

“ It is settled. then !" eagerly exclaim- ed Jennette. “ Let us say nothing more about it now. Henri; for I do not wish to speak or think of it again until it is zuccomplishcd. I wish only to act. and I must hasten to make my preparations. You. also. have .doubtlcss much to do. and it is nearly dusk. I must go home or they will be enquiring about me. Good night. Henri."

” Farewell, my love. anti” meet you in the street near Madame I’inette's. It will not belong. remember. before Father Martin makes us one, and then we can bid defiance to the world."

They then sepcrated. and Jeannette hastened to Madame Pinette‘s.where she maintained her usual composure at the supper-table. and retired to her own room as if nothing out of the usual course of affairs had happened. Once there. how- ever. she busicd herself in making pre- parations as she could for her long am] difficult journey. She was obliged to take her room-mate into her confidence; but that young lady fully sympatliized with her. snd promised to keep the mat- ter a profound secret.

A few hours after midnight. she stole quietly out into the street. where she found Henri Labardic waiting for her with a carriage. They were conveyed to the chapel. and were soon united by Father Martin. after which the carriage took the young couple to the rendezvous of the wagon-train that was to start for the far west that morning.

In the morning Jean Barteau. again arrived in his " store clothes." and feel- iing excessively uncomfortable. called at .Madame Pinettc's for his daughter; but ,he found the establishment in an uproar, and was met by the announcement that Jeannette had disappeared. and that no one about the place could tell what had 'becomc of her.

Instantly connecting the statement with the sudden declaration of his in- tention that he had made to her. be con- cluded that Jeannette had absconded for the purpose of avoiding him. and that she had had assistance in so doing.

He charged Madame Pinettc with be- ing an accomplice ofthe runaway. and with hiding her from him. She warmly replied the accusation. and he became so excited on the subject. and was so profat e and violent, thatshe was obliged to order him to leave her house. threat-

oning to call ofliccrs to arrest him if he.

did not go quietly. He went at last. vowing vengeance on mankind in general. and declaring that he would find. the girl. if she was above ground.

CHAPTER III. axons-ran AND UNEXPEC‘I‘ED user-mos.

After leaving Madame Pinctte's. Jean Bartcau went direct to a sort ofthird class hotel. much frequented by men from the mountains and the plains. which he had Made his headquarters during his stay in St Louis. _ , ‘ ’ ‘ ,

Here he hastily divested himself ofhis civilized attire. and clothed himself in his own garb. which consisted of hunting shirt and leggings of dressed decrskins.

“ \Vagh !” he exclaimed. as he shook himself and stretched his long limbs. "’ This hoss is a sight too old to.be i'arnt new ways. If I ever mount such fixin‘s ag‘in. I hope I may be rubbed out by the first red-skin I meet! Now I will seci what Mister James Mussou has to say about this hyar stampede."

So saying. he trode ficrciy down-stairs and knocked at the door of a room at the end of a long passage.

” Come in! ' said a small thin and squeaking voice. ,

The trapper opened the door. and found himself in the presence ofa man who was seated at a table. occasionally dealing cards from a pack. laying them before him. and figuring on a sheet of paper. He was evidently studying com. binations of cards. and calculating chances.

James Musson—for this was the per. son who was so odious to Jeannette Bartsau—was a man of medium hight and figure. with sandy hair and freckled complexion. thin lips. and cold. gray

eyes, He was dressed in the height of fashion. and presented quite a gentle- manly appearance.

‘I knew it was you. Barteau.‘ he said. as soon as he saw the trapper. " Take a-ehair. and tell me what you have done about our business."

" I don‘t. sit down on those fixin‘s when I ken help it. Jeems Manson." rc- plied Barlow. “ Is there any brandy within resell)"

“ Certain! ;’ I always keep iton hand. andb‘ib‘h o u vsterto my friends. Bel yourself. old boy."

usson set a decanter and some gin. sea on the table; but ths trapper did not dsign to use a glass. He put the decan- ter to his lips. and when he took it away it was more than half emptied.

“ It's goin' on fourteen years now." he said. as be replaced ti o decanter on the table. ” sine I've drunk enough spirit: to set my head whirlin'. and I rsokonl shell luv to pich ian 'om now. to rush up for lost time."

." 1 hope. than. that all has gone well \Vllli you. \thre have you caged that‘ pretty bird of yours ? Do you think she will be an obedient child ?"

“ That game is up. I am afcsrd. Jcems )Iusson. . All is gone. hose and beaver. I ll.“ every lhia'. and my pile is lost. as far as I ken see now." ‘

“ What do you mean ?"

“ The gal is gone. Jeems Musson. She has ran away, eloped. stampeded, and I mought as well try to foller one track among a herd of bulller. as to hunt licr trail in this settlement." ‘

“ What is the matter? You ’ must have frightened her in some -way. Tell me what you said: to her. and how‘she acted."

'l'hc trapper gave an account. in his own style. ofhis interview with Jeannette and ofhis subsequent discovery of her disappearance. including the scene with Madame I’inctte.

“ You have frightened her away. as I told you." said Musson. " You played your game too brash. old boy. and show- ed your hand too soon. lain inclined to think that it is an elopemeut.‘

“ A what E".

“ A runaway marriage. or something worse. \thn you spoke to her of me. did she say nothing about having a per- ference for some.young man of her ac- quaintonance ?"

" Not a word."

“ She is a deep one. then. Of course you are not simple enough to suppose that she has grown up without having hadadmirers." , .

“I hadn't thought of it. but it is like enough tligt she has had a plentyrfor she's as purty as a pictcr !’

You ought to have thought of italittlc sooner. She had one lover. to my cer- tain . knowledge. and I believe that he was an'accc'ptcd one—a penniless young fellow named Labardie. whom I have good reason for disliking. It is probable that she has gone oil" with him. and that she is in hiding somewhere in the town.

If she was a thousand miles away. in tire mountings. I mought hunt for her; but I can't nose the plaincst track on these streets.

Perhaps I can find her. Boartoau. In- deed. Ihave no doubt that I can; for I can follow a trail in the city. as easily as you can on the plains. Can you stay in the city a day or two longer.

Ireckon I kcn. if thar's a chance to git the gal. I've got a few shi'ners on hand. that I meant to spend on her. and they will kcrry me along for a while. on- less I run ag'inst a game ofmontc.

Stay here three days. then. and I will promise to bring your daughter to you before the end of that time. or to. tell you where she can be found. Imust start immediately. to find the trail. and you must take care of yourself, Barteau. until I see you again.

Musson put away his cards and his paper. and the trapper finished the de- cnnter of brandy without taking it from his lips. They then went out together into the street. where they seprrated.

Joan Bartonu'a many vices. no wall a. his few virtues. were entirely those ofthe animal. Like most of his class. he was passionately fond of ardent spirits. and was prone to drink to an excess when the wherewithal could be obtained. The quantity of brandy that he had drunk at Mussen’s room had turned his head. until he was crazy for more, and was ready to join in the wildest revel or the most in- sane orgie. It must have been a power- ful motive that could induce such a man to refrain from liquor almost entirely. during a. period of nearly fourteen years.

Alter leaving Musson. he went direct to a low suburb of the town. which was principally inhabited by the Frandnpor- tion of the population. and which was a great resort for half-breeds. mountain- mcn. and hunters and trappers generally. Here he stopped at an old woddcn house. where the sound of the violin and the tamburiae proclaimed the rcvelry that was going on ‘within. and boisterous noises indicated that. the proceedings. were by no means of a quiet character.

Entering 'this tenement. he foundLlr'irn- self in a low and dirty. room. smelling villainously of liquor and tobacco. and crowded with a motley mixture of rough- looking men, French. Canadians, half- breeds and Americans. among whom were scattered a few women, who were far from being ornament: to their sex.

Jean Bartesu found a number of ac- quaintahces and boon companiors inr-this den. and at once pr‘occedcd to satisfy’his‘ thirst among them. After an hour of hard carousing. during which his manner rapidly grew wilder and more boisterous. he turned his attention to a monte table in a corner of the mom. and commotich betting largely on tho favorite game of the mountain-men.

Whether he won or lost. the result of every bet excited him tolcall for liquor. and the more he drank. the larger became his bets. and the louder and more violent his language.

llis gold pieces were rapidly being transferred front his pockets to those of the monte dealer. and he would have been. in trappeu' hrase. “ cleaned out. hoss and beaver." ifhis attention had not been arrested by a now-comer. who laid a hand on his shoulder. and called him by name.

The trapper turned his flushed face

from the gambling—table. and saw at his side a man in the undress uniform of an officer of the army. a tall and stately gen- tleman. whose scattered gray hairs show- ed that he had passed the noon of life. but who was still stout. hearty and well- preserved. I reckon you‘ve got the 'vantage of me somehow. stranger.’ said Barteau. as he pushed the tangled hair from his eyes. "Pears like I've seen you somewhar afore now ; but I can't name the time or place. [To be continued]
