CHAPTER VII.—Continued.
After some little time, Joe reascend-
ed the stair alone. He let the cellar
door drop Into place. For a moment
or two he stood there undecided, as if
the station to the street. At the edge
of the banquette he heard Mrs. Ash-
ton give the cabman her address,
"Hotel Louis le Grande, 2157 Valots
street." While they waited for their
luggage he sprang into another cab
and ordered the driver to the "corner
of Valois and Esplanade."
It was the Thursday night before
Mardi Gras. A moist and sticky fog
hung over the low-pitched roots and
red-tiled gables of the quaint old Cre-
ole town. Canal street blazed with
lights. Revelers crowded along Its
banquettes and paraded the streets—
grotesque, kaleidoscopic, happy. The
neutral ground seethed and heaved, a
bedlam of masques, flambeaux, tin
horns and good humor. Beyond all
this lay the domain of darkness, of
narrow streets and quietude.
Duke's cab worked its way slowly
through the dense mass, and had al-
most crossed Canal when it came to
a congested halt at the corner of
Valois.
"Hurry, driver, hurry," he called;
"what are you waiting for?" He
looked out upon a smiling sea, the
gleaming teeth of Creole girls, people
pushing to and fro, surging human
billows tipped with laughter. The
crowd jeered and laughed—everybody

Then he shook bis head and went 'bey cannot understand why one

About half-past two in the after-
noon Joe's returning steps rang sharp-

front door, Jim, the negro man, had
opened it.

keep him no longer."
"Gone?"
should want to hurry. Presently they
parted and let him pass.
The wheels rattled and clattered
down a narrow street, getting farther
and farther from the lights, the music
and the jollity behind him. Duke
recognized the wide Esplanade as he
crossed it, the neutral ground, the
whitewashed trees, the houses—noth-
ing ever changes on Esplanade.

Old Hippolyte, the porter, even more
antique than the hotel, hobbled out
behind his master and began lifting
down their luggage. Arthemise. in
starched cap and apron, fluttered
through the entry to take the ladles

Anita alighted from the cab, then
Alice. Both girls glanced doubtfully
through those medieval-looking doors
of Iron, curiously wrought. Back, far
back behind it all, there burned a dim
light in the rear.
Alice felt that she was surely In
New Orleans, really In New Orleans
no other place could be just like It.
"Oh, Anita, Anita," she whispered,
"we are really and truly In New Or-
leans—can't you feel It?"
Those green-painted Bhutters looked
like New Orleans; the slippery ban-
quette felt like New Orleans; Mon-
sieur Victor with his shrugs and bows?
Hippolyte, with his bent back and stiff
leg; Arthemise, full of quaint little
smile3 and smirks—all seemed part
and parcel of the foreign life.
A crowd of masKers passed them,
marching four abreast; they blew tin
horns in the strangers' faces and
laughed. Red fire gleamed along a
distant street; a rocket shot up from
Esplanade—the Spirit of the Carnival
seized upon the girls.
"Come, Aunt Alice," Anita called,
and laughed. She had been a fool
long enough; now she meant to have
a jolly good time. "Come on—hur-
ry." .
Duke, watching her from across the
street, felt a blind unreasoning re-

CHAPTER VIII.
THE HOTEL LOl'lS LE GRANDE.- j
All of that Thursday afternoon the
Daylight Special, overcrowded and j
belated, hurried on toward New Or- i
leans. Every south-bound train bore
its thawing burden—refugees in furs
and sealskins who fled from snow and
sleet to a land of palm and pines be- j
side the gulf of Mexico.
The dusk came gentiy on, and pas- j
sengers began opening their windows
to the flower-scented winds. Already
they looked wistfully ahead to the
shores of summer sea3 upon whose
heaving bosoms the purple islands
sleep.
Mrs. Ashton was negatively con- j
tent, smacking her lips in that com- j
placent way she had when things went j
to suit her. Alice perched on a fidgety <
pinnacle of delight. She was going
to Mardi Gras, and that ought to make i
any girl supremely happy. Like a ten- j
nls-ball she bounded back and forth I
between her mother and Anita, almost j
as if the cushions were too springy
for her to sit upon.
But Anita gazed so dreamily into
the twilight, without seeming to hear
or heed, that she was no fun at all.
Alice couldn't con^rehend such a
girl. She buzzed around until she was
tired, then settled down beside her
mother, as restless as a bumble-bee
In a bucket of tar.
Anita did not want to talk; she
wanted to think. And the farther the
train carried her, the more persist-
ently her thoughts clung to Vicks-
burg. The chain lengthened, but it
did not break. What a goose she had
been to write such a note! How com-
pletely it bad been Ignored! It must
have been the music, the lights, the
exhilaration of dancing that made her
do it. Then she remembered the jon-
quil; Anita loathed herself when she
thought of that. Very possibly he had
flung It down in the street and
laughed.
She wondered if Nannie Kerr hadn't
some lurking suspicion that she had
expected to meet Noel at her house.

Beginning with the American die
coveries of John Cabot in 1497, the
search for the northwest passage was
for many years the object of rival ex-
peditions from Denmark, England,
France and Portugal, says A. W.
Greely, In the Century. It was Frobisb-
er, however, who in 157«-78 first gave
a distinct national character to the
quest. John Davis of Davis' strait,
followed In three voyages, 1585-88, and
then, in 1612, came the illustrious and
hapless Henry Hudson, whose motto
was that explorers should "achieve
what they had undertaken or else give
reasons wherefore It will not be."
The search for the Atlantic side
closed for two centuries with the voy-
age of a great seaman, William Baf-
fin, who, in a tiny boat of 55 tons, with
a miserable equipment, but an un-
daunted heart, attained, in 161&, the
highest north In the western hemis-
phere, 77 degrees 45 minutes N., and
discovered three radiating sounds,
Jones, Smith and Lancaster, the last
being the eastern entrance to the long-
sought passage.

They came out upon a balcony which
curved and surrounded an oval court-
yard—all dim and mysterious.
"I'm so glad we came to this place,"
whispered Alice. "Doesn't it feel
creepy?" She clung close to Mrs.
Ashton, thrilling with a delicious
sense of adventure.
Monsieur Victor paused where the
opposite balconies come together
