THE, WHITE
DEATH
By WILLIAM CHANDLER
Iu 1860 Mlle, Antoinette Gamier,
named for the ill ratted queen of France
who lost her head on the guillotine,
was one of the most attractive of the
younger girls of New Orleans. The
Oreseeet City was in those cloys one of
the gayest cities f1 not the gayest, In
the United States Being a city of the
French, It Contained a number of em-
igres of the revolution whereby the
Bourbon kings lost the throne, end
they were of rho noblesse, some of
them having the right to titles that
they did not use. New Orleans social-
ly was delightful, but more foreign
than any other American city.
• Pdwln Wentworth, it young north-
erner rronl the state of Maryland, went
to the Crescent City to spend a whiter,
attracted thither by the reports of the
unique social life. having letters to
the "best" people, he was Invited ev-
erywhere, FIe met Mlle. Gamier, and
a love ll tnir ensued, It Wes arranged
that when the spring came on they
should be married and both go north
to the groom's home.
In those days there was frequent in-
tercourse botwoee New Orleans and
France, .While cleylrable persons enure
out to the new world to make homes
Mr themselves, occasionally one would
coma whose absence would have been
preferable. Among these was Antoine
Le Voisier, n duelist who had killed
ito many opponents that he bad ac-
gnired the sobriquet of the White
Death,
One evening at 11 cafe young Went-
worth saw him, asked who he was and
on being told remarked in a voice loud
enough for Le Volster to hear that the

was a challenge. If Wentworth had
come from Mlassachusetts or any north-
ern state he might have declined it.
But, hailing from a border state, in
which dueling had not entirely died
out, he felt compelled to fight. HO
was rash to have made the remark in
the White Depth's bearing and rash
to go on the field with one who had
fought twenty duels and killed ten
men. Wentworth was entirely uuskill-
ed In the use of weapons, and there
was no time to learn (tow to use them.
The result was that he went out to
meet his antagonist, and another mur-
der was done.
Mille. Garnier was so crushed by the
tragedy that for awhile her life seem-
ed to be in danger, and as she recover-
ed her strength she showed signs of
mental derangement, The social world
saw her no more, and so rapid are the
changes le the world of fashion that
in a few months her place there seemed
to hare been filled and she forgotten.
It was not loug after Wentworth's
murder that the cholera visited Ameri-
ca, and New Orleans was not immune
from its devastations. But it seemed
that uotbing could even temporarily
obliterate the people's desire for
amusement. A masked ball was given
in a large hall, and, although it was
not an affair to call out fashionable
society, especially at such a time, many
of the bon ton went there to divest
themselves of the gloom surrounding
them.
The contrast within and without the
hall was a fearful one. Within was a
dance of life, without a dance of death.
But the death from without broke in.
among the merrymakers. A figure en-
tered the hall dressed lu white flowing
robes, the mask as white as chalk. with
great hollow eyes, 12 grinning mouth
and rotten teeth. It advanced to one
wearing a Louis XV. costume and
stood staring at him, The merriment
ceased, and all eyes were bent on the
two figures. The Louis XV, figure

n the outskirts of the city where
eels were fought.
"Not without a reason. For me (the

He struck Le Voisier' with the back

War Economy in Elections

have 111 00010100 We are standing side
by side in this matter, trying to 800
what we ,'ell do to make stere of win:
ning the war without delay.
One thing !pol' which vee fully
agreed, for that end, is that there
should be no waste. We want to apply
money, food and work, just now, only
upon means of winning the war. It is
the part of patriotism to deny ourselves
any oousiderable expenditure that is
fruitless ie that direction.
Now there is a very large expenditure
impending over us in the way of a
general election. This means that we
shaft energize with bread, beef and
bacon, men who will spend their snergy
not in efforts to keep the enemy s
hands off our throats and to got our
hands on his, but in wrestling with One

This is but another example of

best pluspeot for definitely and

supremacy of the allies is in connection

wood for this purpose is Si tiro or silver

a Ford an Drive
TRY it just once! Ask your friend to let you "pilot" his car on an
open stretch, You'll like it, and will be surprised how easily the
Ford is handled and driven.
If you have never felt the thrill of driving your own car, there is some-
thing good in store for you. It is vastly different from just riding—being
a passenger. And especially so if you drive a Ford.
Young boys, girls, women and even grandfathers --thousands of them—
are driving Ford ears and enjoying it. A Ford stops and starts in traffic
with exceptional ease and smoothness, while on country roads and hills
its strength and power show to advantage.
Buy a Ford and you will want to be behind "the wheel" constantly,
